In fairness, you have to remember, Boba Tea and other drinks/foods may not be widely known in ALL circles.

Wouldn’t it still be rape/sexual assault even if there was probable cause to believe she was hiding contraband or weapons in one of her orifices? Even if conducted at the station out of the sight of the public, and done as professionally as possible... isn’t it still rape or sexual assault to put one’s hands on or…

I see the perspective of this article, and I understand where it is coming from, but I just don’t agree. Sims was not trying to cure these women. That implies that he was using known medical procedures on them. He was experimenting on a vulnerable population that may or may not have verbally consented (is it realistic…

Read this, which is actually researched and debunks the myths in this article. Here’s the conclusion and the link is below:

You know all those articles floating around Root/Splinter about how “now isn’t the right time [for white people to say anything]?” That’s why. They were afraid if they did this in the wake of the election, it would be criticized as an opportunistic glory grab. People would say they’re only doing it now to cash in on…

While an interesting thought, Jack Daniel’s as a brand is actually the second iteration of Jack Daniel’s. The original, which descendants would be able to lay claim to, went out of business because of prohibition. The Brown family, which owns Jack Daniel’s, has zero relation to the original man.

Your quoted phrases seem to me more like synonyms for “blue collar.” Whereas this lady seems better described as “working poor.” Not being pedantic; I think there’s a real difference between the two. Hell, I’m white collar, make more than her, and I’m still living paycheck to paycheck...because being a single parent…

1) the time spent going to the grocery once per week is less than the time spent going to mcdonalds multiple times per week (and no, basically zero food spoils in under a week).

Yes! Planning your meals for the week is a great way to cut costs.

At least he put on a helmet before he started drinking. That’s the sort of foresight that comes from experience.

You read but you don’t really listen do you? Anyway, this is time wasted. In your mind you must feel you are the best person in America. Please take your proverbial cookie.

The usual “Person compares thing to other thing” story would have the subject making a WTF comparison. Like “Kendall Jenner compares controversy over Pepsi ad to sexual assault”.

I have a real love hate relationship with her and her show. I actually think her interview style is a little abrasive and doesn’t really consider the guest very much. At times I found her to be rude in the her questioning. But she’s had truly fascinating people on her show who I’ve enjoyed listening to.

In an advisory class I was teaching to high school freshmen, we were learning about “professionalism” and what it means. One assignment was for the students to interview someone who had training beyond a high school diploma. This could mean a college degree, but it also included certifications, on-the-job training,…

I mean, I get where you’re coming from. I’m a Christian (one of the ones who believes in LGBTQ rights, is pro-choice, and generally follows Matthew 25:40 as best I can).

Many people on both sides of the aisle are ill-informed (at best) and believe in absolutes. Their way or the highway, alas.

I’m not sure I follow what you’re saying here... of course you can be a proud American and believe America can be better. That’s very nice of you, and really doesn’t have anything to do with what I’m saying.

There’s a tendency towards reductionist over-simplification amongst some on the Left as well as the Right.

Well, I don’t know Emily Shire and I’m also sick of Jezebel demonising her as well while holding Sarsour up as some kind of martyred saint, so maybe stop trying to dismiss someone’s opinion based on her knowing the person in question. I don’t think Sarsour is a terrorist the way the far right try to portray her but I…

A lot of Zionists believe only one thing: Israel can exist. The Jews can have a county like every other religion has at least one country if not dozens. They don’t like Bibi or the occupied territories, they just want there to be an Israel. And since a large part of the area surrounding Israel does not want there to…
