You have already stated you don’t know how much she was paid. For all you know it was $2 or her salary was donated to one of her many causes. In any case my point was you are hating in someone for something they are not actually responsible for. You might as well be hating her for Jennifer Aniston not having children.

LSE being willing to pay through the nose for her to teach there is hardly Angelina Jolie’s fault though. It more a symptom of a larger problem where the universities don’t value adjuncts and throw money at big names for the publicity. Not too mention in her usual line of work Angelina Jolie makes thousands of dollars…

Most Police uniforms on television have deliberate small mistakes like that so they can’t be used to impersonate police officers. Its liability thing for the studio.

Except women with buzz cuts are not common and it might easily make them a target. Stealth is kinda important for the military.

Judaism is an ethnicity as it is culture with its own language and customs. That’s not to say its impossible to be Hispanic and Jewish. The Jewish dispora went every where after all. However they do tend to be Sephardic (because that is the group that traditionally lived in Spain) and Goldberg is an Ashkenazi name.…

Lol this reminds of my Doctor who spent the last year and half advocating I try Keto because my blood sugar was increasing. Turns out I have gallstones, which is aggravated by a high fat diet. It can also mess with your blood sugar. I'm glad I tried stepping down my carb intake as jumping into full ketosis could have…

Yeah I work for a company that sells stuff you can use to store guns (its industrial I don't work for a gun company). Today I got a call from someone claiming to be from some “Free Republic” group who want to place a large order. I am slightly worried they are packing to go to the inauguration. Although given the lead…

The problem is not giving a fuck is it doesn’t solve anything. In fact it just makes things worse. One of the reasons these people hate so much is that they feel people like you look down on them and they are right. Rural people hate you and all the others because its that or hate themselves. Their whiteness is the…

Yeah that’s were nuance comes in but nuance and cancel culture don’t mix well. I do think there is a third way here that we haven’t found yet. I myself am white passing but I am also Aboriginal. I identify much more strongly with the Aboriginal side as it was where I was raised and where I am most comfortable. (Also I…

So basically she is Latinx Shania Twain? Which raises an interesting questions about adoption and identity. A lot of people accept Shania as Ojibway because we have a long cultural history of adoption and adopted children have always been members of the tribe. I think the part people struggle with is that it doesn’t…

This fucker is forgetting about the other major factor Genetics. Its the other main reason I’m sitting here wheezing with a nagging pain in my side from gallstones. Hell it affects whole populations. Most Aboriginals like me are well aware our lack of adaption to modern life and diets is another way we are being…

This exactly is my main issue with “Cancel Culture”. That and so many of the victims are black, gay or Jewish. I frankly agree with Atkinson that cancel culture is an unfortunate way of silencing dissent. Rowling may have made her point the wrong way but I don’t disagree with everything she said (She definitely has a…

Its because Lucifer is a Netflix show so they shill it twice as much as other stuff. Kinda like how Spotify keeps telling me I will like Taylor Swift even though my history should tell them I like people who can actually sing. At least its a sign the robots aren’t quite ready to come for our jobs just yet.

Whenever I hear of a case like this I think of my Aunty Coffee (not her real name but her nickname). I remember several years before she died she mentioned she had a stomachache and they kept coming back. She told her doctor and he lectured her about following her diet(Aunty was a life long diabetic). Turns out Aunty…

My main reaction to this is good for Blippi. I have no idea who most of this list is but I have seen a couple of Blippi videos with my nephew and he seems decent. He actually seems like he enjoys what he does and likes kids and he actually reminds me of Bill Nye. 

Hispanic and most other female POC don’t draw attention to themselves like that in public and frankly don’t usually have that sense of entitlement. Plus either she has some really great eyebrow makeup or she is of Eastern European descent.

The IRA does have connections in the US and always had. Plenty of ex IRA moved to the US during and after the Troubles. The Son of Anarchy story of an ex IRA bomber who moves to California and joins a biker gang is rooted in reality. Plus the guys committed enough to bomb things for a cause often will find a new cause…

I think Obama has a point but also misses several in the full answer. Obama like a lot of mixed race people has always spoken white people fluently so he has a bit of a blind spot when it comes to how language is used as a tool of oppression. His answer here reminds me a lot of comments about how POC are too…

Personally I think its less about how much money one donates and more that being nasty on one area doesn’t mean someone should be written off completely. Plenty of amazing influential individuals had dark sides or blind spots. It doesn’t invalidate everything else that they have done it just gives it some context.…

A quick and dirty but still fabulous mashed potato method for anyone who doesn’t have the time/patience to use a ricer. I actually like to over boil my taters (I like Yukon Gold) so I can use less milk, but if you tolerate lactose better than I do you can skip this and just make sure they fall apart when you stab them…
