Communities should be setting up their own community policing programs and showing that these thugs aren’t needed.

No, it’s exactly as crazy as Ruffus is making it out to be. Perfectly healthy people are convinced by quacks that they have toxins that are ready to kill them at any moment. They never name these toxins, but they apparently exist and you do x and y (colonic cleansing with a chili powder addition, etc.) to rid yourself…

It’s not about whether it will “hurt his feelings.” Treating this as if it is an issue, like CNN has, can actually hurt his chances at getting the nomination. People aren’t going to read the essay, then conclude that, oh, well, it was a sloppily written essay about destructive gender norms (I still don’t understand…

It was written in 1972. I mean, Christ, if he was getting on his soapbox and still talking this stuff, you’d have a point, but people are allowed to get wiser from the ages of 31 to 73, right? I’m sure you’ve written and said some pretty stupid shit, too, even if it was well-intentioned.

I’ve got 8gb of ram on an old ass Dell running Ubuntu 14.04. Chrome hasn’t ever really crashed on me. Know what does? Motherfucking Firefox. All the time. I just recently messed around with the configuration to let me open more than 2 tabs at once, but anymore than that, then Firefox instantly meltsdown.

Someone was reading Blood Meridian.

Huh. So that’s what the commodification of gaming looks like.

“Children develop, and dogs just stay dumb.”

My mom and I have a rocky relationship due to her alcoholism. She’s a loving person, and has always expressed her love for me, but when she started drinking she could turn quick on a dime. She would verbally abuse me when I was a kid, when she was drunk.

Okay... well... it seems like you didn’t actually read what I said, so I guess I’ll say it again.

Yeah, it would, actually. Immigrants have usually made up much of union membership, historically, and when there was a strong union movement, they benefited very well from it.

This is the second time I’ve seen a comment of yours like this. I get the feeling you don’t know what you’re talking about.

They have the ability to seek help, even if they are here in an undocumented status. They have rights in this country to not be abused or have their wages stolen from them, without having to experience the attendant harassment from Immigration. Unions also do not care about the immigration status of their membership.…

This would be the best solution. The problem is that undocumented workers are often scared off by two things: threats of ICE to deport them, and threats of firing — with no recourse, since they’re told the NLRB isn’t going to take their case because of their status. This happens all the time in the ag industry, in…

I looked up videos of these “reality parties” and:

The problem with pointing this out only is that it neglects the fact that she stuck to this tough on crime nonsense only up until recently (yesterday recently.)

It’s not that you’re wrong. It’s that you’re neglecting context. In the 90s, there was a sort of political “revolution” in the Democratic Party that happened at the same time or shortly after the Republican Revolution. The New Democrats, of which Clinton, Gore, etc., were apart of, got on the bandwagon with regards to…

No one on Gawker media has. It’s really weird. I would’ve figured that Hamilton Nolan would have at least run a small blurb.

The Crip they interviewed speaks a lot like how Fred Hampton used to in the 60s.

This pact is hopeful. I’m glad at least some members of the media are willing to get the actual story instead of saying that when gangs come together, they’re just doing so for the purpose of killing cops.

My parents are divorced. My dad is dating around and my mom is dating one dude. I don’t really have an issue with my dad’s dates because he doesn’t seek to involve me or them in either of our lives (their lives or my life), and that’s where my boundaries are at right now. On the other hand, my mom is trying to get her…
