That's so much Raven!

I saw one flat earther webpage that was trying to explain the Southern Hemisphere thing. Basically they claimed that the reported distances and maps of the southern hemisphere are wrong. They are actually much larger than what is predicted by the globe model and are consistent with the their flat earth model, but the…

Agreed. His alleged sexual assaults are one case, and the alleged cover up is another. I agree that's how they should be treated legally, and I'm pretty sure that is how they will be treated and are always treated. So what's the problem?
But no one here is talking about the legal court cases. If we're going to…

If the Church of Scientology was trying to cover up the rapes then this definitely has something to do with them.

Maybe not, but people that grow up in high crime urban areas with a lot of drug dealing and gangs are a lot more likely to become gang members and kill people

Is it met with a shrug, or is it met with disbelief? Because I'll be honest if you're talking on a per capita basis it doesn't sound right to me. White people are less likely to be poor and live in high crime areas

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not.

How much is this stuff about "immigrant crime waves" being talked about over there? This isn't the first I've heard about it here in the states. I'm just curious if it's in the news or on people's minds in the places that it is supposedly happening.

To be fair, it's not like white Europeans invented racism. Humans are pretty good at latching on to "us vs them" mentalities and dehumanizing other groups of people. We've been doing it and committing all sorts of atrocities because of it since the dawn of time

Do you know of any good low calorie options for Chinese food? Sometimes I'll get shrimp with lobster sauce or tofu with vegetables (which I was told is in white sauce) but I'm a little skeptical of the sauces they use. I wouldn't be surprised if it's loaded with oil or something

Exactly. There's nothing at all significant about the terms on the map except that estately.com thinks they look funny on their map.
It had to be said because apparently Clayton Purdom thinks this is meaningful data that can tell us something about what Americans are thinking.

See I didn't really see that as too self important. I just took that to mean that she hasn't seen characters on TV that she or her friends can really relate with so she wants to create them. I suppose it's kind of self important because she seems to be assuming that all other women her age are just like her and her…

Not only was there no massacre, it's a stretch to even call these guys terrorists. They were basically just a couple of scrubs who an FBI informant was able to convince to load a truck with weapons. And they were told the weapons were going to Al Qaeda in Afghanistan to be used on US troops over there, not that they…

Lead guitarist of Fun. Not singer

I'm not sure satire is the right word for it, but creating characters that act so narcissistic and self destructive shows a certain level of self awareness, I think.
I thought I was going to hate the show because of all the criticism she gets, and I was surprised to find I liked it, and I generally liked her and…

Yeah I agree with you. It doesn't seem like that terrible of a pitch. Certainly not so bad that it was worthy of an article about how bad it is.
It's makes the show sound like its gonna be about super annoying people that are borderline intolerable, but then the girls on the show are prett damn annoying so it's a…

Slaughtering a few dozen villagers is really no big deal in the grand scheme of things. I imagine that would be pretty easy to justify, especially if you've been trained as a soldier all your life

Yeah that was weird for me to. The movie made it a point to say that we shouldn't think of all storm troopers as evil or as mindless goons with Finn's backstory, and then the rest of the movie Finn and everyone else are constantly killing them without any indication of hesitation or remorse. It was bizarre.

When I saw the commercial for this I was surprised and somewhat horrified that they managed to shape chicken into a functional tortilla shape. I'm not really sure why either, because I'm well aware that they've been processing and pressing chicken into all sorts of unnatural shapes for decades now. I dunno I can't…

I'm not nitpicking language. "Anti-government" and "white supremacist" are two completely different things. They're not interchangeable. And even if they were, you would still be wrong. Who cares how many incidents there were? You were talking about how likely you were to get killed, and your link says Islamists have…
