Even if you say that, any improvements to the community (parks, grocery stores, schools, etc...) will drive housing prices up, which is good for real estate owners and bad for renters and anyone who wants to keep their house instead of selling it. What you want is some magical way to make the community better without…

Is this really news? We’ve known for a long time that what this guy did was all above board. Why would he face charges?

I’d say you’re ethically obligated, not to boycott their work, but to boycott any system that shelters them from justice from their actions. So there’s no need to boycott Kant or other old authors, they’re all dead, and nothing you do really effects them one way or another. But professional football has made a…

I assume they believe that what they do doesn’t fall under the legal definition of “medical care”.

The first amendment is generally interpreted to mean that, not only are you allowed to say just about anything as long as you lie, but the government can’t force you to say things either, even if they’re the truth. There are exceptions, but I’ve never heard of the government forcing a business to inform people of…

Guacamole is just salsa + avocado. All salsa uses garlic.

That makes no sense at all. If Hitler was a good artist, he would have been accepted into art school. He’s actually pretty amateur, especially his portraits of people.

I just started Dr.Who this week too. Except I started with season 8, and worked backwards. I was told 8 was a good enough place to jump on, and so far there hasn’t really been anything I didn’t understand or recognize, except for a few minor characters.

No, that is not a good thing, especially for a part time job. And if it’s taken you two months to find something that “fits”, maybe you need to lower your expectations a little?

Some kind of fancy chocolate-raspberry powder I got a while ago.

TV show, plus the Angel spin off.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

“Lets be friends” is jut a nice way of saying “I don’t want to date you anymore”. It doesn’t actually have anything to do with wanting to be friends.

Hot chocolate. I’d add marshmallows, but I don’t have any. Stupid marshmallows. And whipped cream, that would be wonderful.

My stupid job moved my start date from the 19th all the way to November 30th. So now I have nothing to do for a full month and a half, and nobody wants to hire a temporary worker who can’t work through December. Somebody give me a job.

It’s not especially Asian in the US either, at least not where I’m from.

I live in Washington. We have one of the highest populations of Asians in the country. And I’ve still never met anyone with a last name of “Park”.

That might be how you interpreted the last name “Park”, but not everyone shares your interpretation. Personally, it sounds pretty non-national to me, not like Wang or Chun or something.

On behalf of all white people everywhere, I apologize if we’re not really experts on the last names of Koreans.

What the author says in interviews but not the book isn’t actually important. Just like JK Rolling’s decision that Dumbledor was gay and there were totally muslim students at Hogwarts who were just never mentioned.
