Did you perhaps respond to the wrong comment? I'm genuinely confused as to what you're talking about, because I didn't imply (nor do I believe) that this is a clear cut case of murder. As you said, there's a lot we don't know. My only point is that this poor woman is dead, and she can't defend herself against the…

It's like they've never gone to someone's door before and not been sure if the doorbell was working...of course you'd bang on the door. And doubly so in the middle of the night, when you're trying to rouse someone from sleep! I've been in exactly one car accident in my life, and I was a hot mess after it. Shaky,…

I dread the trial, which will undoubtedly turn into The State vs. Renisha McBride, rather than The State vs. Theodore Wafer. Cue the cries of "I'm not saying she deserved to be shot...but she was DRUNK!" :(

haaaaahahahaa. Oh dear god. His hypocrisy is stunning, and he doesn't even seem to notice that he's proving our point for us!

String! I loved Luther, but The Wire was my first love, so he'll always be Stringer to me.

Marry me? I think you're pretty swell.

Thor's hammer is my penis?

ahaha...he thinks he's contributing! That's adorable.

My response:

LULZ, yes, people's reaction to your hairless head is TOTALLY comparable to how people react to women with hairy armpits! Thanks for pointing that out! And this "Stop empowering them by caving into 'societal pressure'" nonsense is pretty much the definition of privilege. Full stop.

I really want to like Brussels sprouts. I do. I like vegetables more than the average person, especially vegetables that other people don't like. ESPECIALLY roasted vegetables. My aunt, who is a horrifyingly good cook, made some roasted Brussels sprouts with bacon, and they were still a big old nope for me. I guess…

And every episode is a TREAT YO SELF Day!

Whoops, yupp! It is! I only minored in math, so we'll blame it on that. ;)

This is definitely a big issue. I posted somewhere above that my advisor failed 19 students in a course, and he said he had to spend about 4 hours per student gathering proof and putting it all together and submitting it. So almost two entire work weeks (assuming he only works 40-hour weeks, which...no.) spent on…

I TA'd for my advisor a few semesters ago, and we failed over 20% of the class (no, that's not a typo - 19 out of 96 kids) for cheating. They copied the solutions manual (it was STEM class, so no papers to write) word for word, after being warned, at length, that this constituted cheating. We nabbed 11 kids in one day…

Totally agreed! My advisor (Ph.D. student here) is a stickler for plagiarism, and when I was his TA one semester, we failed 19 kids in a class of 96. That is not a typo. We failed over 20% of the class for cheating. They copied the solutions manual for the homework after they had been specifically instructed, at…

My cellphone number has 666 in it, it's actually pretty awesome. People always sort of do a double take when I give them my number, though.

Eeeeeexactly. Also, if the black women who auditioned were truly too inexperienced to make it on SNL, you know what someone who is invested in increasing diversity might do? Reach out to them and mentor them so that they are prepared for the next audition cycle.

Penn State's endowment is $1.77 billion, according to Wikipedia, so this will barely make a dent.
