I think anyone who knows the remotest info about biology knows these things. It doesn't make dolphin slaughters or dying in tuna nets any less fucked up, but they are not the humans of the sea.

Shame on Jezebel.
you know, it's nice to see sympathy for the situation. usually people just have this attitude like 'you thought you were sooo great...'. we get a lot of snark because US policies are arrogant, but individuals are still going without in ways that people from a lot of other countries barely comprehend. having no health…
I'm sorry to hear about your friend. I just qualified for benefits here in Canada and I just walked into the drugstore, they handed me my meds, I walked out. I thought I was going to cry the first time I didn't have to pay a dime for my mental health drugs. Watching American politics, I understand why/how their broken…
Private health care insurance is not predicated on need; it's a profit-driven endeavor based on a contract that takes in a finite amount of money in the form of premiums and pays out a finite level of benefits in the event of illness.
It's like... this stuff should have absolutely no connection to their work life.
It depends on your approach. I could become so furious with all the creeps and men who are inappropriately old or concentrate on the guys I am interested in that are nice, respectful, etc. I choose the latter. I go out with awesome dudes.
There was a case recently of a teacher couple who got in trouble for showing their beach pics on facebook wherin the husband is holding her clothed breast. The female teacher got fired but her fiance was allowed to keep his job - they teach at the same school
Thank you. I read though all the comments this morning. I'm grateful for your honest answer. I come to Jez to read, learn, and communicate. Everyone got really mad and assumed I was trolling but I honestly was just seeking answers.
I said "just" because I've dealt with similar things like that over the internet, and I usually just brushed it off. Either that, or if I felt like having a little fun, I'd just dish out a few clever comebacks.
As a gamer myself—and a person who is categorically nonviolent—I ask that you not apply the part-for-whole fallacy to a surprisingly large group of people in your effort to raise awareness of a disturbing (and unfortunately continuing) trend.
Gamers are regular people; we go to work, we have relationships, we get…
How does an event from 2010 display that "Gamers do it all the time"?
I know of three cases (not saying it's only 3 cases ever but if it happened all the time I'd know of more) and since 'gamers' have been present online for 20 something years if gamers were killing or raping in real life out of revenge, there'd be on…
If they wanted to physically abuse someone, they would have physically abused them. This is just verbal abuse. The vast majority of people on the internet who make these threats do it because they believe they can get away with it. The purpose isn't to rape or kill - they don't give two shits whether you're raped or…
It's insane that people can lose their job over stuff like this.
I can't believe it isn't considered unfair termination.
I felt like Will Smith in "Enemy of the State." I was being hunted, harassed and stalked by criminals with…
If you look at the third paper I cite above, they were able to test their method of determining ancestry in individuals.
Look, the woman has poor judgement. I mean, THE worst judgment ever, okay? She is a moron of gigantic proportions but I don't think she was advocating the death of people who died or were injured on that day- she was just idiotically making fun of the death and carnage, which although moronic and just so freaking…
It was a dumb joke. This girl doesn't deserve to have her life ruined, and threatened to be raped and killed for it. She made a stupid mistake. Big fucking deal. This is ridiculous.
