I think it’s right to criticize Jameela in this instance even though I like her work. I don’t like the line, “Jameela, along with an army of white minions, chastised...” etc. She’s still a South Asian woman. India was colonized and brutally exploited by the British. Don’t elide her with her white fans.

As a person with a bachelors in Computer Science, I can tell you that this is most likely not an algorithm causing this. Computers are dumb and only do what you tell them to do. These “algorithms” are not changing drivers pay rates on their own. What is most likely happening here is some bean counter decided paying…

when i was a kiddo, i got a wee cooking set for christmas one year. it contained a tiny whisk, bc everything was tiny, and damned if my mom didn’t totally steal that thing from me and use it as her own in just the ways you described. she still has it to this day and will probably never relinquish it.

Anthony Bourdain could also be a real egotistical jerk, so...

I also find “Would you like a hug?” is better than “Can I have a hug?” because then the question is about what they want, and lets them not have to worry that you’ll have hurt feelings if they say no.

From watching decades of The People’s Court, I can tell you that sentimental value is worth precisely NOTHING in the eyes of the court.

The LeBron James example reminds me of a kid I went to elementary school with. Around 1990, he (an white kid) dressed as his hero, a local (black) NBA star for Halloween. He had the licensed jersey, the official sponsored shoes, the team color tube socks, everything. He also had black face and body paint. Even thirty…

“Coach, what’s the play?”
“Okay, Spider-Y-B-”
“AT FARMERS WE KNOW A THING OR TWO BECAUSE WE’VE SEEN A THING OR TWO”

Have you met the quarterback?

Love a microwave start and an oven (or toaster oven) finish.

The richest country in the world doesn’t offer free lunch to children.  This is a real travesty that shows how much we care about our children.

Multi-Grain is my favorite Cheerio, because of that hint of sweetness without tasting like an overly sugared cereal.

Then again, my favorite cereal of all time is Cracklin’ Oat Bran, so really, I’ve just been a curmudgeonly old man since my teens.

Don’t shame “snitching”. Exposing criminals is in the interest of society as a whole, and we want more people to come forward, not less. Yes, we’re talking about a garbage person, but the information he provides is valuable. And there is nothing valuable, or even moral, in remaining loyal to a criminal gang. So, don't…

If lifestyle choices can’t be discriminated, then that includes religion. Nobody is born believing in a god.

Number of vegans I’ve met who continuously go on about being vegan: zero.

The real punishment should go to the people who planned a SUNDAY wedding, Week 1 Sunday no less.

“I might be in bed with Fascists who would exterminate the Jews without a second thought, but those guys over there criticized the Israeli government! They’re the REAL anti-semites! I’m actually just a victim in all of this!”

Respect to the Farmvette.

You are probably seeing residual chlorine gas off. I can't swear to it, but its a good bet.
