People of color: Hey white people, stop making us explain racism to you all the time - it’s exhausting. Maybe try explaining it to each other and give us a break.

Nothing like trying to combat injustice using misogynistic slurs. Dr. King would be SO proud of you - you really helped out the cause here. God bless you.

You’re using the word “insane” when I think you meant “ignorant and curious.” If they don’t publicize their rules or enforce them, how would we know about them?

So you’d rather these women had ignored it and done nothing to try to bring attention to the issue? I genuinely don’t understand this position - you want more attention on the issue, but not if it’s brought by white people? Because YOU wanted their “merit badge” instead? Cool - where were you while this was going on?

(And if you want it to look at all decent, you’ll have to shrink the final size until you get it to at least 300dpi)

Not really - it’s an arbitrary measure for a digital file. It’s only meaningful after you’ve decided on a print size for an image of a certain pixel size - at that point, you’ll know the dpi of the resulting print. But a file with a certain dpi attached is meaningless - you can print it in any finished dpi you want…

Well “dpi” is meaningless in the context of a digital file. So that’s one thing.

“In 2016 initial returns made it seem like Hillary had the election in the bag”

What “psychological” reasons? Think this through - you really believe a corporation will hire people to do a job that has no effect on profits?

You can pinpoint specific events, sure, but you can’t say exactly how you’ve been affected by the systems you grew up within. Compare it to a physical malady like cancer. Some cancers you can say, “Yes, this is almost certainly caused by asbestos/cigarettes/chemical exposure.” But many cancers don’t seem to have a…

Not get too into the weeds, but I also take issue with the idea that any of us can possibly accurately gauge whether or not we “turned out fine.” As compared to what? We each have only one subjective experience to draw on - it’s impossible for me to compare the inside of my head to the inside of anyone else’s head.

“I understand the reflexive judgment that by spanking a child, you’re causing them harm.”

Yes, “bizarre” is a stretch. But it sure ain’t very fancy.

Word. Yeah, I have a nicer plastic print one that I use as my outside-the-tub curtain for looks. The inner one costs like $2.50 at Target - a reasonable fee for me to maintain the thin illusion that I know how to adult. :)

“Real” traveling is supposed to be dangerous, right? ;)

Young kids is an x-factor. I’d probably pull my car farther off into the grass in that situation.

But yeah, I’d go for those trees myself. Stand just at the edge - definitely safer than being in my car.

30 - 40 feet doesn’t often get you to a cornfield - they’re usually a lot farther back than that. But yes, I would absolutely rather stand at the edge of a cornfield or woods while I wait than be in my car when it gets rear-ended at high speed. Just this summer, I had a tire blowout and was able to wait a very healthy…

Huh? I think your sense of distance is extremely skewed, then. I travel I94, US23, and I96 quite often, and there are only a few places (other than bridges) where you can’t easily get at least that far off the road. In rural Michigan, it’s absolutely trivial to get a safe distance off the road.

That’s assuming you’re in perfect health after whatever happened to disable your car.

It depends on where you are - in Michigan, you’re a LOT safer 30 or 40 feet away from your car off to the side than sitting in it with people flying past at 85mph a few feet away.
