Nah, unfortunately, they usually manage to breed before their timely exits. 

I agree and don’t know the answer, but the research I’ve read doesn’t seem nearly as cut and dried as Lauren presents it (re biological advantages). 

“She’s older and she has a whole heaping pile of cultural baggage that’s she’s dragging to the party.”

This person is trying to rewrite a long progressive history of Martina because they don’t agree with her stance on trans-people competing against women. FFS, Martina’s coach was openly trans at a time when trans-people weren’t shown on television or even mentioned as existing, in public discourse. 

“I think it really shows how too many people still view trans women as “fake” women, for whatever reason.”

How do these brands not realize that they can just buy the vests and have them embroidered by a third party? I’ve never branded corporate stuff, but I’ve made maybe a dozen shirts/vests/jackets/hoodies throughout college and adult life. You just buy the product and ship it to a professional embroiderer. 

Does “planes in the ocean” mean wrecked planes? Or sea planes? There are probably more planes in Alaska with floats than submarines total. If you count wrecks of subs and planes, it is still planes. 

The idea that Labour is representative of the country’s feeling on anything is laughable. They are facing the weakest Tory government in history which basically keeps shooting themselves in the foot and Labour is still less popular.

“I’m not sure anyone who has not studied the history carefully can conceive how awful the conditions were in the large factories at the beginning of the industrial revolution.”

Graver economic picture? Industrial Revolution UK was the probably the best economic scenario to have ever exist, if you are doing relative comparisons (because obviously being poor now in the UK is way better than being poor then). Prices decreased, the pound deflated, and wages increased all at the same time. That…

So suicide by Amtrak happens, on a slow week, at least once a week. Sometimes a lot more. I used to work for a company that was trying to win business with Amtrak, so we had an intern set up a google alert for Amtrak in the media to see what projects were coming up and budget stuff. On any given week, you’ll find 1 or…

To be fair, I only knew it was profitable as function of homeless people in my city taking both metal and plastic from the trash. 

Why would they have created subsidies for an industry that until very recently was profitable?

Any plan to update now that we know this is a hoax?

Because after multiple decades of making visually the same movie, everyone realized that Verhoeven’s work isn’t clever satire, just shitty movie making.

But if you do decide to stupidly go into the fast moving water, make sure your friends film horizontally. 

If it was a business exchange, he could go to a competitor. It isn’t because licensing is a state monopoly. I’m not arguing that this is bad, but it isn’t “business” and I generally agree with Alf’s take. 

Canada takes a competing rights approach and freedom of expression seems to regularly lose to other rights. That’s why you have Orwellian Human Rights Courts that punish people like comedians for making mean jokes. 

This is in better shape than his postal jeep. 

Ugh, I saw this once, but with a motorcyclist. It was a weird week because I went from seeing no dead people (outside of a funeral home) to seeing 5 dead people in one week. First a motorcyclist, then a mini van wreck with a family in it, then a shooting. Florida is a weird state.
