Tri-Delts libelz!

Because the study that showed that they weren’t in fact informative doesn’t continue to get repeated by any decent competitor, and there are not-quite-there reinterpretations of the data to defuse it?

anecdote - interesting story about a real incident or person

Hurdling, or hurtling? I would love to see some inebriated person do hurdles in an airplane aisle.

I have vague memories of TLC being reasonably acceptable bland entertainment once upon a time. Am I mis-remembering? Did this kind of bile-inducing subject based slop always frontline on that channel? Should I blame Jon and Kate?

Those people have too much money...

No, you aren’t, but you’re wrong in the “at all”, at least. Whether a specialized, expensive version is significantly better is still debatable, but preschool and kindergarten have been repeatedly shown to have significant positive impact.

Willeford’s risking his life is unequivocally heroic

So long, new Doug.

I love Karl Urban, and I have since The Chronicles of Riddick.

Yeah, that’s fine. The last line is not written well to indicate actual intent, whichever it was. Though I’ll say the remainder of your line of thinking, re: white superiority, is a bit of a stretch to read in. It’s all still American (US-ian).

Where’s Sbarro’s and Papa Gino’s on that list?

Have hope, it’s not new, nor necessarily worse than before, but it keeps needing to be fought on new (and sometimes old) fronts.

Maybe an analogy, which are always suspect, but sometimes serve to point out a mistake in frame of reference... “I wish <my big grocery store chain> supported <Kinder eggs / kimchi / Asian pears / Turkish delight> by carrying them in their stores, so I don’t have to go elsewhere to find them...”

Because most of those purported impacted won’t do the math ahead of time, and trust their (R)eps?

No 10% penalty in case of beneficiary death (miscarriage). Whether or not the beneficiary gets counted as an individual itself for tax purposes, so that they may file income taxes and get considered in the poverty bracket... unclear.

Or that it wasn’t brushed under the carpet more effectively, with some pay raises and settlements all around?

Hmm... maybe a gorilla and a Neanderthal?

It feels more ignorant to me, too... and they likely still don’t see a problem with it. Since the photo is post-op, it’s not exactly the gender one identifies as, but the one that one is currently physically assigned. The nuances are tricky, so it would have been better to have just left alone, though. This would’ve…

Not just “over there, to other people”... problem exists in NH, VT, etc.
