...dismissing it as unimportant is kind of hurtful as well... 

How does it harm you to believe people who are different from you?

Are you really comparing the treatment of POC and women prior to the 1960s, where as a matter of LAW they were discriminated against, with non-binary people who get upset if someone can’t remember what gender identity they claim and what pronoun they prefer?

Maybe go talk to some African-American men in their 80s and…

I think New York officially has 31.

I’d say that China’s version of communism is doing fairly well.

“Don’t have any opinions about me because I’m different, but don’t ignore my differences!”

But haven’t you heard?  Not believing in identity politics (and the collective guilt that goes with it) is insensitive!  Sigh :(

It will be interesting to see if in fifteen years people coming out as non-binary still identify as such. And no, NO ONE should be discriminated against for being whoever they feel they are in case anyone wants to call me “transphobic” based upon that statement.

I feel as though this article was written for Kellyanne Conway and her husband.

I was skeptical about these, and then a friend bought two for his house and crowed so much on his Amazon review that the company that makes them SENT him another to give to a friend, which was me.

These are not even close. The worst of the others is indeed basketball, but soccer is the only one where people actually STOP PLAYING in order to fake an injury, and then get up and run when they don’t get the call. This happened on the first goal from Spain in the Spain-Portugal match, after which I turned it off.

As…

We’ll have to disagree I guess. I believe that capitalism, with some form of social safety net (as in all Western countries) is by far the system that has resulted in the greatest overall positive impact for societies; if you can tell me that has done better, feel free to explain.

That’s exactly what up and coming countries NEED to do: extract wealth from richer countries through capitalism, like South Korea, China, Vietnam, etc etc. You can’t DONATE their way out of their situation: GROWTH is needed, which comes from having businesses that bring money into the country and paying that money to…

In capitalism, for every winner there are a ton of losers. That’s the nature of the system, and you may have been in the bottom 20% or so. I know that I was in the ‘80s and ‘90s.

Wasn’t that a great book? Sunny seems like a straight up psychopath who practically stumbled into 40 million dollars as if by accident.

I just want her in prison with Shkreli with her making him take top bunk.

Yeah, but that kind of logic makes it not click-baity enough :(

And it was no different then: the minimum wage in 1980 was $3.10 an hour, or less than $6500 a year. The average rent in my state was$264 a month, or almost $3200 a year. So it was HALF your gross, or 25% for two people. Pretty much the same as now.

I’m not saying it is great now; I am saying it is not very different…

I guessing you didn’t live it; I did. While my information is indeed anecdotal, this has been discussed with friends in my age group ever since millenials started whining that they can’t afford houses or apartments. We agreed that almost NO ONE we knew had their own place when we were in our twenties (either rented or…

I’m sorry, but this gets so old. News flash: NO ONE I knew back in the 1980s and 1990s had a two bedroom apartment by themselves because no one could afford it, and few even had ONE-bedrooms alone because it was cheaper to get a two-bedroom with a roommate. Similarly, NO ONE I knew could afford to buy a house by…
