If you can’t be bothered to know what you’re voting on, that should automatically disqualify your vote. It should be that you can show up as a supporter, but as for passing the bill, your vote should be considered invalid. (It should also make you ineligible for re-election.)

Who knows? Because apparently he thinks that West Virginia and Alaska (really? Fucking ALASKA?) are in the Northeast.

You can’t be too careful around here, particularly lately. I don’t know what Univision did, but sometimes kinja’s just a freaking free-for-all.

And yet...all those dead people at Jonestown.

It’s almost as if Davidson doesn’t care that there are girls and women who are Who fans (and this one absolutely detested his Doctor.)

Generations of black folks have thought exactly the same, and look where we are now. But admit they’re not only wrong but also part of the problem? Oooooh...they’re worse than white people for breaking out the slurs.

This kind of thing is why I love food history so much!

Once we’re gone they’ll turn on you. You’ll be the new black.

“She’s lazy” has nothing to do with anyone’s IQ. I can’t believe that wasn’t edited out of the interview, or at least given context by the initial reporter.

Hey, the jackass is a perfectly nice, useful, intelligent animal. Don’t insult them by comparing them to Trumps!

There was no reason to just automatically assume that he had anything to do with it, either. I know that area, the liquor store is on a corner, the only entrance to the store part is on the street facing away from the gas station (and its an 80 year old concrete building.) Probably no one but the person who called in

I think it might have been the first time I realized my dad’s cynicism was from something more than the Vietnamese war, when we saw that and he just shrugged and said “that’s about right.” If I’m remembering it correctly, it was shortly after one of his cousins had been shot by police while getting gas next door to

Let’s please draw the line at ballerina feet. Please? (*shudders* remembering roommate with “it’s just a toenail filled with blood.”)

Mostly because they didn’t pretend. They told you upfront what kind of behavior you were going to see by titling their show Jackass. It was refreshing even then that someone would do that.

No, although I suppose there could be a learning curve if you’re one of the few women who’ve never had to squat to pee. It’s kind of weird, and the only places I’ve come across them is in bars, but they are (or at least the styles I’ve seen installed) relatively easy to use (and while I usually have no problem sitting

They just ignore so much of the shit that goes on around here with the stupid excuse because Iowas so white.Yeah, of course Iowas really white. Its Iowa. But what they keep ignoring is that so is the rest of the fucking country. Only 13% of the population of the United States is black. Only 5% is Asian. About 1%

Will you do me a fucking favor and stop acting like we don’t exist just because you don’t think there are any of us black people that live in Iowa? The Des Moines metro area has a population of nearly 635,000 people. Yes, there are black people living here.

They’re shaped quite a bit differently. The bowl extends out farther and is narrower, so that you can squat over it with no difficulty.

The issue is that black cultures are not the dominant cultures in most areas of the world. The problem is when/that a subordinate culture is used and discarded like a costume or theme. That’s why no one would complain if it was a superhero themed restaurant, but if it was a restaurant where the predominant theme was

They say they’re hip hop fans right there in the cited interview. And (although it might be...interesting if there were) there is no genre of music known as hippo.
