[...]men are assumed, from the outset, to “only want one thing”, and “have needs” that must be met by women who are not you. If you fail in your gatekeeper role, however, you have at minimum become a slut and therefore must be shunned; at worst, you “ask for it” and have proven yourself unworthy of the protections of…

These statues are used, in and of themselves, to attempt to revise and erase that history. They’re erected and supported by people who want you to believe that the Civil War was about anything but slavery or the subjugation of blacks, believers of the Lost Cause myth and “Northern Aggression”. There are similar…

Had a trip a few months ago that involved a leg between Kentucky and Atlanta at night. I knew I’d finally gotten into Georgia because the Interstate had lights.

From the Motherboard article linked to in this one:

From there, he segued into gore porn, talking about women being tied up and having duct tape placed over their mouths.

It’s at least partially the “hire more women prison guards” mentality, the same one that’s led other people - including at least one failed candidate for Congress - to claim that merely getting more women into political office, including Republican women, would be a great victory for progressive causes.

They’ll omit quick start guides, or write rulebooks out of order in terms of how a turn resolves, and aaahhhhh here we go again my head hurts.

Roberts and Gorsuch may push back against this kind of UET because they’re conservative dicks. Remember, the GOP playbook is that if a Republican is in the White House we have a Unitary Executive with broad power; if the President is a Democrat we have Parliamentary Sovereignty and the President can’t blow his nose…

And 2 helps fuel 1 which feeds back into 2 and so on: the destruction of labor has led to most education being in two rough “tiers” - the AP/IB kids who are college-bound for only those STEM fields that mean they’ll never actually have to do strenuous physical labor, and the rest of the kids who can go to one of those…

1 - It allows colleges and universities to become “voter registration agencies”, meaning a State-appointed location in which people are able to obtain the resources necessary to register to vote. Those registrations are then transmitted to the requisite State election officials, who are in many states the only ones…

For all the “Well, it’s Georgia, what do you expect” commenters:

It’s also telling that Facebook’s answer to toxic culture was “more Algorithm”, not “actual responses to user reports of abusive content”. Sure, a few dozen credible death threats might be deemed permissible every day, and marginalized people might be getting banned for outing their abusers, but what’s really…

I saw a tank show up woefully underequipped for a Roulette dungeon my fiancee was running. I don’t mean “a few levels behind”, either - I mean “was wearing the Brand-New (Lv. 15 role tutorial reward) set in a Lv. 43 dungeon”. Only his weapon was on-level. He also couldn’t tank to save his life - never used his ranged…

Depending on the mechanics, a bad DPS can in fact get an otherwise competent party killed. They could:

Oh, that’s not the craziest shit they’ve done. Check out Operation Snow White:

We also must unflinchingly and unquestioningly support them if the party has done nothing to support them during their run. We should also somehow vote D even if the party runs no candidate in our district. Anything less and we’re just not properly devoted to the #Resistance.

That’s something that needs to be absolutely hammered on in every election. I keep seeing “Remember: GA law requires that your employer give you time off to vote!” with very little reminder that the required amount of time is two hours, your employer can decide exactly which two hours those will be and deny them to…

Slightly off-topic but funny: None of the stuff I said about the students we were getting was an exaggeration, not even the corporate embezzlement thing. Had a student in the MDAA program whose resume said she’d worked at a particularly large corporation and, while there, “found” and “reported” an executive…

Only one small quibble: National accreditation isn’t necessarily a bad thing as long as the accrediting body is actually meaningful. The bodies that accredited the school I taught at were the organizations that also handled professional certification in the fields we taught, and were well-respected groups whose…

Um, if the school is closed, how is it unfair to the school?
