Sixth grade is too late, and not just because kids will encountering this subject earlier than that. Making it an age-restricted subject only contributes to harmful taboos. Sexual competence should be taught in a natural way starting from toddlerhood; indeed, the broader principles aren't particularly sexual.

Cool.  Now tell us some stories about when you were back in ‘Nam?

That’s not a theory.  That’s not even a hypothesis since it’s not testable.

I wouldn’t even just say Americans but people in this time in general. People all over the world move quickly and work a lot now, everyone is looking for a quick way to do everything, they want to do things fast, get their food faster, get to places faster and unfortunately this means sacrificing the slower paced…

Why can’t Americans take a step back and make the simple observation that despite the proliferation of fad diets, obesity rates continue to rise?

4K, and now 8k, resolutions are the most useless, over-hypes nonsense. Like you said, on a 65" set you can see a difference, but just barely. It’s noticeable, but not enough to make the kind of difference display manufacturers try and advertise. Those ridiculous resolutions are great for those massive stadium…

I get 18 sick days a year and, despite an immune system so bad it’s common knowledge in a 100+ person organization, I don’t take anywhere near 18 days. I have too much work to do, quite frankly, so I work from home when I’m sick unless I’m truly incapable of working. We all care about our work and are generally given…

Uh, it does exactly that.

Counterpoint: Air travel is amazing. You ride on a magic metal bird that gets you quickly and safely to your destination 99.9999% of the time.  The comfort aspect sucks because generally people are cheap and are not willing to pay for nice things.

This is the best Deadspin post ever, and I say that as a long-time Deadspin fanboy.

Clint Capela is called the “Pancake Emperor” (饼皇) because in Chinese slamming home alley-oop lob passes is called “eating pancakes” (吃饼).

Transitioning. I changed from a repressed “male” who was merely existing with no social life, to an outgoing woman who is living, happy, helps others (LGBTQIA groups, women’s groups, et al), and is motivated and involved socially and politically. Before I transitioned, I only had ID photos; now I have too many photos…

Belichick is just mad because if they’d known about it, they could’ve lowballed Patricia on his salary and used that money to buy more secret practice cameras.

No one knew about this incident. How would anyone know to randomly look into Texas indictments about a case that was never brought to court? Why weren’t you reporting on this years ago? Oh, I know, because you didn’t know about it either until you knew exactly what to search for and where to search for it.

Ever been quail or dove “hunting” with a bunch of thirty-thousand-dollar millionaires? They stand in line and have guys take the birds out of a cage and throw em up in the air to shoot. Then go back home and brag about a successful “hunt”.

I found this local article with a description of the crash from a witness:

Ugh, this just reminded me I haven’t gotten my wife anything for mother’s day yet

Automatic Warriors hate is almost enough to make me re-think my opinion that Deadspin has a less awful group of commenters than Gizmodo and Jezebel. Almost.

I gotta admit, hating the Warriors makes a lot of sense but Draymond can dick kick my grandfather off a cliff and I’d still rather watch the Warriors than the fucking Rockets.

There is no reason any animal has to die to get meat, since we can all get meat from the grocery store.
