And shutter all restaurants, get rid of most cars, and clothes. It’s not that far off to say that the US has no culture of it’s own. Our culture is pretty much a blend of everyone else’s, and many of these other cultures are HAPPY to share theirs with us. Especially since they sometimes get paid for it!

Nah, from what the article seems to be saying, it’s that “People from the West oppressed India, so it’s offensive to do yoga anymore.” Which is just batcrap crazy. They would probably have had a whole different fit about it if it were JUST Indian students in that class and no one else was allowed, would have canceled…

The most authentic way to eat a hamburger is with your hands. Meat patty, cheese slightly melted, pickles, tomato, lettuce, mustard, ketchup, between two buns. Wanting to eat authentic Chinese food, for example, does not do anything horrible to that culture. It’s been around longer than we have. A lot longer. If…

Exactly! I’d like to know what Merlan was thinking when she wrote that sentence, because the implications seem clear to me. “THIS woman didn’t deserve it, why did it happen to her? She was doing all the things right...” Maybe it happened to her because victim blaming has been bullshit all along, and there’s no actual…

Yes, yoga comes from a culture that got dicked with. Find a culture in the world that hasn’t. It’s not a reason to shut people out of it! White people doing yoga is not cultural appropriation!

“Blackburn’s death attracted widespread attention because of its brutality, and because Blackburn, a blonde, wholesome pastor’s wife and stay-at-home mother, seemed an unlikely target for violence.”

I may be picking up what they didn’t mean to lay down, but it sounds like this is saying, “She wasn’t even the kind of…

I guess I’m lucky in that my superior waited until I quit to even let me know he was interested in me. I saw other managers at that same job flirt openly with employees, and sometimes it led to really uncomfortable situations. It was a fairly casual workplace, a fast food restaurant, but there was still a…

If he hates comments, he’s saying goodbye to everything that made this site fun. The reader stories are like candy to me, and the comments add so much clarification and depth to the articles.

They definitely haven’t done anything to weed out the more abusive trolls, or prevent people copycatting legitimate posters to ruin their reputations. And every single article about black people or transgender people is infested immediately after it lands. If the trend continues, I’m looking for a new place to get my…

The open racism, bigotry, and complete lack of respect for government, until they want to revoke abortion and marriage rights, the staunch defense of clear police brutality, the utter lack of discussion on gun control, and the way they want to push Christianity on everyone. They defend it all. They claim all of that…

I was a bit set on edge by the “we can’t be an echo chamber” idea, and the “we can’t be mean to the other side” thing. I mean, trolls and republicans and other assorted people who disagree are ALWAYS here in the comments. ALWAYS. And they’re getting more and more racist and gross. So I don’t think they need to worry…

Stovetop stuffing. THAT brand. BUT... specifically the canned kind. I like to eat it straight out of the can, while it’s still crunchy and salty and amazing.

Don’t flag, dismiss. Just dismiss.

How has no one asked you for the details, yet?!

He did that with his first comment. So did Kither, but he’s not your fault.

God, he’s a fucking idiot. A HUUUUGE massive idiot. And he’s not grey. Why is he not grey, Sqarr? Why could you not just dismiss him, over and over? Whyyyyyyyyy, Squarr? No cookie for you.

I am a HUGE lover of melatonin tho. Take it every night, because I need help STAYING asleep and it’s not going to eviscerate my liver and wallet like taking shots of Nyqil or booze every night.

There’s a site on which you can sell it for like, $.50 cents if you want, I think. Lots of brides do that, and if you do happen to find yourself in a money pinch, you could reevaluate the price.

That really is great, I was JUST thinking about rape-by-aquaintance and wondering if the victim would be willing to push the button in the moment. And it’s not a weapon! It could be used all over the place! I like this thing.

I always thought of “obese” as much larger than that. I guess it’s at least partially in the eye of the observer, but yeah, from what we can see in that video it at least looks like the pot calling the kettle fat.
