YESYESYEEEEES.

And I LOVE music videos that actually have clear stories in them. We do not get enough of those anymore.

That's why you hire a bunch of oiled up shirtless men to carry you from room to room on a platform

Sounds like a dangerous hypothesis to test...

Great. More sanctimommy crap heading our way.

"For those with multiple children, the first child results in a 9.5 percent drop in performance, the second child cuts out another 12.5 percent and the third child caps it off with an 11 percent decrease in productivity.

That's been my experience as well. Still anecdotal, but I can't count how many times I've been asked to cover for parents going to soccer games, or assigned to teach sucky night and weekend classes, or fewer classes, because I don't have kids and therefore don't need money or a livable schedule.

I think that's a little unfair...

The point of the whole damn ad was pointing out that Abbott is disabled. The empty wheelchair, for instance. None of the specific cases she was talking about in that ad involved a person in a wheelchair, so the wheelchair was pretty clearly a reference to his disability. Also, starting out the ad with "A tree fell on…

Eh. I was a big fan after the filibuster, but after her ableist nightmare of a campaign ad (followed by a press conference where she used disabled people as props), I'm over her.

I think all double standards are ridiculous. If you want to construe it to one particular instance you disagree with, go for it. Tell me about how the double standards that have affected you are positive. Because double standards are never a positive thing. It doesn't matter what you're talking about.

I'm so sorry that my opinion on native things, as a native, might offend other people. Please let me shut the fuck up so the 99% majority of nonnatives doesn't feel the need to tell me how out of line I am.

I never said you followed me, I just said you seem to keep a running tally of the comments I make, and you just said as much as that you see my comments all the time and that you've paid them enough notice to cast them all with whatever tone you want to read into them.

Oglala Sioux, Blackfoot, and Cherokee, the first two being from my father's side (he's mostly native, but of two different tribes), the second being from my mother's side, and a much smaller proportion. I wasn't offended. You have every right to be, no one ever said you didn't. I said -I wasn't-, not that no one was.…

You're right, I never said it is not offensive to ANYONE. I said it is not offensive TO ME. I think that's a pretty fucking important distinction as you're correcting something I didn't actually say. Maybe correct what I SAID and not the bullshit you read into it next time.

Fair enough, everyone's really free to feel how they feel about things, you know? I just felt the need to interject on my own behalf because honestly I think it's beautiful, and I feel like everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but I can't understand the offense over it. It's a beautiful costume on halloween, and…

So are you a native that's telling me this, or someone of another race trying to tell me about how I'm 'betraying my people' from the outside because you think your opinion means the slightest bit to me?

It's happened before, just like whats-his-face above and the quip about my 'snowflake opinions' or 'jorah in a fedora' who's actually followed me across totally unrelated stories to harass me about things, though it was 'evie havok' who's the one who actually pulled out the slurs initially on the other post about…

No, it means that saying something is offensive to a GROUP of people is ridiculous, because there will always be people who don't share that sentiment unless it's something particularly egregious/destructive/violent. And as part of that GROUP of people who does not feel that way, I felt the need to voice my feelings…

The point of my comment was not to say that 2% of inspections is optimal. I don't work for the FDA, so I don't see their figures.

Question: What percentage of inspection would you consider acceptable, and how did you arrive at the figure?

Crazy as it may seem to you, the FDA quality control process is no different than, say Apple's quality control process.

In other words, they take samples, look at how many defective products are in that sample…
