I went to bed after the first quarter of Monday’s game. The Browns were trailing 17-3 at the time, so I thought this was over. This was easily the best decision I've made in some time.

Never mind, I’ll find, someone like you..

My viewing ended abruptly with a “SORRY. There was a problem with playback.”

That’s a bullshit argument, and you probably know it. Christianity, Judaismn, old native american relgions... all of those are incompatible with modern society. That’s why some years ago people started seperating religion from the governing body. Unfortunately it’s creeping in again. An argument like yours is just a…

He intended it in a racist way. Had the muslim been a white convert, for example, or a balken’s muslim, like a blue eyed Albanian, I doubt he would have gone there. Muslim IS the derogatory term to characterize the perceived racial differences of those in the middle east.

Since Muslims are seen as “brown” then it is in fact racism. The term that covers both racial and religious intolerance is bigotry but racism is a more powerful word (for good or bad).

Bigotry is bigotry. Parsing racism from xenophobia from Islamophobia is trying to distance yourself from people you consider to be bigots while defending your own bigotry. Zimmerman is not using the term “dirty Muslim” because he has concerns about theology. Calling dark people “dirty” is about the oldest play in the…

“She’ll sleep with anyone”

i really don’t condone violence

Well buried in the paper is a paragraph that seems to indicate that there is a similar effect for mothers of daughters versus mothers of sons, i.e. working moms are more likely to take parental leave if it’s a daughter versus a son:

Yeah. The part of the analysis that the comparison of fathers with sons to fathers of daughters comes from says that before the policy there’s a 1.99% chance that men took leave for an infant. After the policy, it’s 3.15% if they have a son, and 2.61% if they have a daughter.

Can you tell us more thingz without the brain hurty numbers and words? Please I need to know if I can conserve my outrage tonight.

They’re trying to bond as much as possible before the boy inevitably forms an oedipal complex, and then tries to kill him and bone his own mom. The prophecy has foretold it.

Yeah but that decision would make more sense (well not really, but let’s roll with it) if paternal leave was taken after age 2. I can’t think of anything that could possibly be different when caring for infant boy v girl. The developmental milestones are the same, the doctor visits and vaccine schedules are the same.…

These effects are much larger for fathers of sons than for fathers of daughters, and almost entirely driven by fathers of first-born children and fathers in occupations with a high share of female workers.

This has to be the most simpleminded sexism ever. What could possibly be different in the utility of caring for baby girls versus baby boys? They all need to sleep, eat and shit every 2 hours. That’s all.

Like it’s easy to kinda assume a tampon would break down or fall apart in toilet/pipe/sewer conditions — it’s just a wad of white fluffy stuff. But pads are all HEY HERE’S SOME LEAKPROOF PLASTIC LINING AND THEN SOME MORE PLASTIC and ....? That’d be like flushing half a diaper. :|

I agree. More thorough background checks on weapons purchases is definitely a good idea.

getting one of those smiling tampons tattooed on me asap.

Christmas is a Christian holiday. Obviously they were targeting Christians.
