Is this how the scary stories are being presented this year? I liked having the top 10 in one place and being able to read them. I can’t watch videos at work.

I don’t see the band-aid in that picture? What am I missing?

I wasn’t discussing Elizabeth Warren, as I noted when I said my comment was “tangentially related to the article” and then discussed my two friends who have parents who are registered members of a tribe and cited additional Native sources on the pros and cons of blood quantum.

This is tangentially related to the article - the Elizabeth Warren saga is a mess - but I’ve always found the notion of blood quantum curious. I’m from a state with 7 or 8 tribes and had 2 friends who were 50% or more Native (one parent or both were all or part Native) yet were denied membership because they weren’t…

I didn’t even know there were black people in Wisconsin!

I don’t know about in general. That seems like it would have been a bigger issue for Kate since she was the one with the royal duty, but she was also much younger. I have a feeling Meghan had tests done but likely just due to her age and the fact that they both wanted children and had a certain amount of time...and it…

He’s not attractive, and I’d go so far as to say he’s remarkably UNattractive.

But how much does it cost and how can we prove it was Proctor’s house? Maybe we can set it on fire and if it doesn’t burn, it’s not his house, but if it burns to the ground, then it was.

My favorite story of the day, though, is that Joe Giudice is going to be deported to Italy!

Not really. Being the President of Congress is akin to being a Prime Minister or the Speaker of the House, not heading an independent executive branch, like in France or the United States. That’s what anyone who is talking about “the President of the United States” means, which is why the first such president is…

I use the men’s bathroom all the time if the women’s is busy and the men’s is empty and IDGAF, despite the dirty/shocked looks I get sometimes. Also, I live in a city where all individual bathrooms are required to be unisex, and it. is. so. amazing.

I read once how the bizarre term for groups of animals came from rich, educated aristocrats with way too much leisure time in the 18th/19th centuries just coming up with random terms to one-up each other.

Also, so everything’s great now? Homelessness, poverty, education, military pay, hunger, housing, healthcare, the justice system, immigration, taxes? By their own measure, these are things that need “fixing.” So, “Great” seems....................disingenuous, at best.

I doubt she even knows what she’s wearing or why, but it’s fair to point out that the fiber helmet (aka American pith helmet) was developed later (in the 1930s) and worn by all branches of the U.S. military at some point, with, I believe, military marksmen still wearing it as part of their uniform. I have my uncle’s…

I don’t understand the point of the Anna Faris photo. She was throwing up and someone took a photo of it while she was not wearing pants? Why would you post that on social media anyway?

Practically, the same-sex partners who are currently living in the U.S. could get married in the U.S. right now. Realistically, it’s unlikely that a diplomatic for a foreign country that has a same-sex partner who lives with him/her is representing a country where gay rights are abhorred or doesn’t have the ability to…

The article is referring to foreign diplomats assigned to the U.S. (or UN in this case, which is in the U.S.), although the reverse holds true. Many countries won’t allow a married same-sex couple spouse to qualify for a diplomatic visa. All heterosexual couples have to be married to qualify for a spousal diplomatic…

Yes, heterosexual couples must be married in order for the spouse to qualify for a diplomatic visa.

Kanye has some serious issues, and it’s really sad that his family and friends (*cough, the Kardashians, cough*) don’t try outreach and to support his mental health instead of encouraging the press from the random rantings and ramblings.

Her perspective is unique, but some of her claims are demonstrably false. For instance, the UK has far, far more CCTV than the United States. It’s not even close. Also, try living in a country that requires you to obtain an exit visa before you leave and then get back to me on not being able to travel. For anyone…
