Umm, just curious, why are you inviting them if you don’t want them to come. I am not giving any of my friends any reminders that they might want to get our kids something. First off, it feels crass. The second is, that my kids already have too much @#$%@ stuff. I would prefer the invited guests not bring anything,…

If you are just inviting someone to a birthday party so they send your kid something you are a shitty person.

When people preemptively kick me out of a conversation by saying “Well you don’t have kids so you won’t understand x,y,z” it’s kind of isolating. Like, I know I don’t have kids.. but I AM able to have empathy and listen and relate to people who lead a different life than I do.

So you’re okay with them badmouthing you in English?

Great. Then shut them down for talking in class, not the language they use. Or is it okay for them to call a teacher a whore as long as it is in ‘American’?

A lot of people turn on CC for then the dialogue gets really quiet or when characters have thick regional accents. It’s not so distracting but YMMV.

While I don’t doubt one second that talent agencies would blacklist people for speaking out against Weinstein or other Big League Hollywood Predators, how do we know she wasn’t blacklisted for simply being Courtney Love?

Windows may be far from “perfect”, but it is still the best general purpose OS for most people out there.

Yeah, that would be great. https://www.campquest.org/ for example: Camp Quest provides an educational adventure shaped by fun, friends, and freethought, featuring science, natural wonder and humanist values.

I buy almost exclusively from listings “Sold by Amazon” or “Fulfilled by Amazon” and haven’t ever had these kinds of issues. I know that’s not always an option, but I don’t like to buy anything from there that doesn’t go through Amazon’s warehouse first. It seems like they tend to, on average (not saying there aren’t…

I was openly athiest. My scoutmaster didn’t have a problem with it at all, and I earned my Eagle at the earliest opportunity. Then we got a new scoutmaster, a New Zealand national who had moved here a few years prior, a real “rules make the man” kinda guy, and I was out, just like that. He even tried to take my Eagle.

How did you come to conclusion that I did not read the full post? Does the library pay the author each time a patron checks out? No. By the logic of the writer of this article, the author is still losing money because, at a library, 1 book is shared by 100s of patrons. My point was that most people who are shopping on…

If you honestly equate being a cam girl to sex trafficking I really don’t want to live in a society with you in it. Your morals are fucked.

I want to see someone have the fucking guts to say, “I had heard the rumors. Maybe I never saw anything, but I wasn’t deaf. I had heard. And I didn’t do anything. I didn’t do anything because I was scared. I was scared that Harvey would crush me. I put my own self interests before the interests of others. I was able…

Do really try to keep in mind that no matter how famous actors might get, if they really honestly tried to take down Weinstein themselves (it took decades of allegations all springing on him practically simultaneously in the news media to do it), they may very well have gotten their Hollywood careers ended. If nothing…

Also, how close is the connection between these Hollywood men being shamed and Harvey Weinstein himself? If they knew about the harassment or had good reason to know, then sure, but I don’t see how demanding their condemnation is different from demanding “moderate Muslims” condemn ISIS or al Qaeda attacks.

I agree with this. For some reason, we’re insisting that everyone give their opinion on Harvey Weinstein. It seems like this insistence is just so we can rip apart their statements.

Are Hollywood men supposed to publicly rebuke any person that they’ve heard nasty rumors about? Sure, maybe some of these people are complicit, but you are just speculating wildly at this point without any evidence.

What should he have said - in your mind, I’m curious to know what the perfect statement would be?

The smaller portions help. Don't even bother with sides anymore. If you want what would traditionally be on a side (salad, potato), that should be your meal.
