Oh for sure, I know at least one Luca myself. I was just more imagining him/her explaining it to their friends and getting teased.

this is the take I came here to watch unfold

It was a response to people claiming that he was running an openly sexist campaign, not an unbidden brag. Nobody’s looking for cookies.

Someone needs to sit me down and explain it to me, too. I don’t get it. I don’t think Killer Mike said anything wrong. I don’t think Bernie said anything wrong. And like, yeah he’s an old white man, and we’ve had a lot of old white men. Hillary would be different, because she’s an old white woman. Technically Bernie…

I know of only one way for a feminist to vote: go into the voting booth, select a candidate, squat on the voting machine, and use those strong vaginal muscles to pull that lever.

Or “jook sing” in Cantonese. This means “hollow bamboo,” referring to how one is not “culturally Chinese” nor “ethnically Anglo.” This is an identity I wear with pride.

I think the thing is, you never get to decide for another person whether or not they’d “rather know” or “rather not.” I don’t know how I’d react if my partner told me he was cheating — whether I would want to work it out, whether I’d need a break, etc. I might be really unhappy knowing. But he doesn’t get to pick for…

If you don’t believe in karma, then this is wonderful advice. Speaking from personal experience (and only that), I would advise to break up if you cheat right away. For whatever reason, that comes back to you somefuckinhow no matter how well you covered your tracks. I am truly convinced of this. It just isn’t worth it…

Ultimately, the imposition of the expected opinion is just another insidious form of racism...why should a third, fourth, fifth, etc. generation Asian-American have any special concern or perspective about, for example, “Asian-inspired” fashion appropriation issues, that would be more intense or personal than anyone…

Macabasco is Asian American, just fyi.

Macabasco is Asian American, just fyi.

I think it’s so important for people to understand that race is a very personal experience. Growing up Asian in San Francisco would probably be drastically different than growing up Asian in a small town in Louisiana. Just because people happen to be Asian American doesn’t always mean they’ll have an “asian…

I hate using children in misleading ways, as this article points out. If this really happened and Hilary really did find a way to help that girl in a way that can be replicated, then totally fair game. Somehow I doubt that.

but using innocent children for gain ........

Is she trying to recreate the Merkel Moment? It ain’t gonna happen. If she is that’s really.... *sigh* crass and manipulative and exploitative. I hope that’s not what this is, but it’s hard to think otherwise.

She is also doing a lot of campaigning with the Castros, which will help in the Southwest.
Also not a fan of using the child. The quote could have been pulled and put over other imagery quite easily.

She handled that well but I’m not a fan of using children thus. Kinda icky.

“If you aren’t able to pass your DNA on any further then in most cases you are a drain on the local resources.”

That’s interesting. So total available food was a limiting factor long ago? My impression was that for most species in most habitats, there was essentially unlimited room for population growth, held in check…

Right, and heritable variations are primarily caused by random genetic mutation. Mutation provides changes, and natural selection thins the herd until advantageous traits predominate. But it’s still a mindless process - it’s not going to weed out every single non-adaptive trait that mutation creates.
