Except the actual novel show how hard it actually is to frame someone. The only reason Amy get away with what she does is because she is a smart rich white girl. The novel actually points this out several times.

Honestly having been a part of the Marvel fandom for a while and seeing a lot of his stuff (because he has a lot of fangirls), I think the post was meant to be self deprecating more than a shot at Paltrow. Stan tends to post a lot of I am not that famous and a dork type of posts. He probably thought it was genuinely…

You can totally become Russian or African. For instance South Africa has an immigration program not that different from any other commonwealth country. Nice completing the ugly American stereotype by including Africa in a list of countries btw. Russia requires 5 years residency and fluency in Russian. It is much…

Good cops should be taking the lead and restraining their out of control colleagues when they arrive on-scene, they know them best. Good ones should use all the internal controls to report, investigate and get bad cops off the street. Good Command Officers who took the time to call this man first, should have asked…

The Catholic Church is notoriously anti-sex so if shame really did work there really wouldn’t be 1 billion Catholics. Unless your trying to say shame is the only reason to be Catholic in which case your showing yourself to again be a privileged asshole who has no idea why people do anything.

There are much simpler and better ways of controlling the population though than simply yelling at people not to have kids. . For one better reproductive health. Better medical care all around so people don’t feel the need to have 5 kids. Also the US birthrate is dropping in certain groups already because of rising…

You forgot one 50-1 someone finally took initiative and tried to off Trump.

Except shame doesn’t work when it comes shutting down aspect of human sexuality. All shame does is drive people underground and cause more harm. Your shame just makes people go across state lines to states where paid surrogacy is legal. Which is why I think an open heavily legislated marketplace is the better…

Yes its the constant playing the victim that irks. You can’t be the empowered crusader and the poor picked on victim. Either you have power or you don’t. Its Taylor’s constant need to play the victim that makes her problematic IMO. She deliberately invokes a tired stereotype of a weak woman who is constantly battered…

Except the best way to slow down the birth rate isn’t being sanctimonious on the internet or shaming women for what they do with their bodies. The single most effective way to reduce the number of children people produce is to give them full unrestricted access to birth control. So instead of being a pain in the ass…

We developed technology to deal with shit though we didn’t take away the urge to do so . Removing basic biological urges has proven all but impossible . We can’t even get paedophiles to stay away from kids with severe restrictions and even medications. Wanting children is one of those basic human drives. What your…

Yeah telling people not have kids is like telling them not to have sex. Its designed to fail for most of the same reasons. If you want to call yourself sex positive and body positive you cannot be anti kid. Shaming someone for wanting a child ins’t any different than shaming someone for being trans or liking sex. Not…

Yeah this seems like a White lady who looked at the extended family model and took all the wrong lessons from it. For one thing the Native (As an Abroiginal person I feel I can speak to that and not the African American version of it as much.) version of the extended family the primary bond between parent and child is…

A lot of strippers in Canada are run as touring groups of performers and are booked and run the same way a band or other entertainment would be. There’s good and bad to this system. It makes it harder to hide profits and not share them to dancers for one. It can make dancers beholden to their bookers and management…

Yeah as a Canadian I find this article slightly entertaining. Not speaking French well is considered a major faux pas by voters even outside Quebec. One of the reasons former Prime Minister Harper never did well in Quebec was because he spoke French at a barely competent level. Its not unheard of for politicians in…

Sometimes racism is a tone or an attitude not specific words. The gas station attendant on This is Us is a good example of that. Or the lady I spoke to on the phone the other day who made some very sarcastic remarks about diversity. On paper what she said was polite to me it made my blood boil.

Technically gelatin can be kosher as long as as the animal it was harvested from was killed in accordance with Jewish law. The presence of meat itself doesn’t make something not kosher unless there is also dairy. Which wouldn’t be the case with dry roasted peanuts.

Eggs are a good source of protein for those who need to add it to their diet but still don’t want to kill anything to do it. Plenty of vegetarians eat eggs.

I’ve seen estimates as high of 15% of Polish labourers volunteered which is a fairly large number. Other countries probably have similar numbers depending how economically depressed they were.  It worth noting that many countries had their economies crippled by German Occupation and often weren’t in good shape to…
