Yeah, although my sentiments re: some of these demands (chiefly the resignation of the Christakises) go against the progressive grain, I do cringe at this repeated suggestion that minorities have it “better” at one school versus another by virtue of that school being super nice.

The incident of screaming at a professor and demanding resignation for a valid opinion is frankly inexcusable, especially at Yale.

Ah, but you see, no we can’t. That’s why the Christakises have to go; they’re secretly super duper double racist, and should have immediately quit their hard-earned positions the moment a student said they made them sad.

The fact they put “Immediate removal of Nicholas and Erika Christakis from the positions of Master and Associate Master of Silliman College” in their list of demands makes their demands look fucking idiotic.

Please, god, not yet. I’m already singing Christmas songs but let’s leave the “is Baby it’s Cold Outside about rape?” debate for after Thanksgiving.

So let’s say the kid hit the cop. That makes things different? You’d basically be endorsing a World Wrestling Entertainment style adult-on-minor beatdown because a teenager may have thrown a couple ineffectual punches after refusing to get out of a chair.

It is, perhaps, a double standard

Born in Brooklyn, New York, Sanders attended Brooklyn College before transferring to and graduating from the University of Chicago, where he was a member of the Young People’s Socialist League, and active in the Civil Rights Movement as a student protest organizer for the Congress of Racial Equalityand the Student…

Can’t wait to implement the Progressive Stack in the comments!

BLM’s gripes are reasonable and valid. BLM’s decision to target the only truly leftist candidate who is outspokenly for helping the poor and reducing inequality in this country in a meaningful way, and its attempts to deflect any criticism of that decision as passive racism or outright patronizing bigotry, is dumb as…

One could answer “there are none, and that’s the problem,” and feel very good about themselves. But that person would be short-sighted and stupid. Man, there’s no BLM-approved candidates! BURN IT ALL DOWN!

Please give me Toejam and Earl. Please. Please.

So basically what this article tells me is, everyone younger than me is terrible and I hate them.

How does someone ask for a prenup without either seeming like a passive wimp who puts others’ advice over their own judgment (“my family/my lawyer/my accountant/my agent said I have to do it”) or a pessimistic, untrusting jerkass preparing for the worst before they even get married (“I love you. But just in case I…

Remember when Pa Kent told Clark he maybe should’ve let a bus full of kids die, and then later sacrificed himself to save a dog from a tornado because a young, athletic man jogging out to do so would’ve been too suspicious?

Nobody hires real Orcs anymore. The Orc Actors’ Guild got too greedy.

Man, it’s been ten years and I still miss Japan. The sushi bars around the Tsukiji fish market were just the best.

I’m not really on that guy’s side, but...

I’m having a really hard time sympathizing with your “people don’t have enough cash to buy this, ergo they should download it” argument when we’re talking about a complete luxury item. I don’t know how else to describe it but entitlement. We’re not talking about a fridge or an oven or hot water here, we’re talking…

Is there a Gamefly equivalent for PC gaming? Not a member of the Master Race, so I don’t know.
