I was just coming here to say that - this is some poor photo selection.

And even beyond having their OWN capital, they by far and away have the best access to venture capital. And VCs like to invest in people who look like them, so....

I think that’s from the New Testament, no? The Ten Commandments are likely to be more relevant to an Orthodox Jew, I think.

I agreed for you until I took a cooking class where the chef pointed out that celery has a layer of bitter unpleasant coating on it (plant self-defense) that you can get rid of if you wash it properly. Which, barely worth the bother, except when it is required for a mirepoix, etc. Then it can be neutralized.

I sat in a restaurant once where a couple ignored their three kids (ages ~6-10) running through the place hitting things and people. I finally snapped at their kid (age 7?) when he started grabbing cutlery and weaving it through the back of my chair and snagged/tore my clothes. My snap? “STOP THAT.” His mom’s comment…

WTAF? This is identical branding to some GLBT-friendly stores that TELUS opened up in Vancouver. It’s even the same font.

What about calling your partner your pet’s name? I mean, the pet doesn’t mind, but...

It happened to me once.

I would think that the number of people who’d be likely to tweet #bitchimmaadonna would be pretty low!

My in-laws do a “yay!” and get everyone to start clapping like it’s a grand performance. Then everyone laughs and is happy. (Obviously if there’s a real issue the kid starts crying instantly - this is about the ones where they look at you, like the title says). This works well, but I worry we’re just raising a bunch…

“Well, animals are a lot like people, Mrs. Simpson. Some of them act badly because they’ve had a hard life or have been mistreated. But, like people, some of them are just jerks.

Whenever there’s a scrappy TV show on the bubble, someone will always evoke Firefly as this banner of unfulfilled potential.

“Especially if it’s from a stranger” - isn’t a really fair statement, since the whole way phishing works is that it’s designed to look like it’s NOT from a stranger.

He didn't say "I apologize _IF_ anyone was offended". That's the fauxpology/nopology tactic. It avoids actually acknowledging wrong/harm. He takes responsibility for the fact that he DID offend people and apologized TO those people.

Uh... I don't know if she realizes it but Lena Dunham actually undercut her own argument there.

Or Canada. Same situation here & we need people who like that kind of thing to help drive out our current government.

Skeletor now looks like Killface from "Frisky Dingo"

For scuba rescue, they actually suggest you approach the distressed diver from underwater and attempt to inflate their BCD for them (much of the time they've just forgotten to and are panicking despite having the means to save themselves). Definitely approach from behind and if they start to come at you, just descend…

Particularly significant since both someone at the Wall (Maester Aemon? Melisandre wasn't at the Wall when Tyrion was... I forget who) and Moqorro refer to Tyrion as a little man with a big shadow.

Isn't that what the guillotine was for? I mean, if it has to be done, wouldn't that be more effective and (relatively) humane?
