hello confirmation bias.

There is no correlation. It does some people good others harm, and there is no generalization applicable.

I certainly don't accept jackass commenters. Not sure how I'm supposed to convince national chains to come to my town, but sure, put that on me. And believe it or not, your dogshit opinion isn't unanimous. 

Wait, what’s so bad about that? I recognize you will run into problems like getting arrested if you try to do that with your kids now, but that’s probably more a question of modern society being paranoid than an accurate assessment of the danger. The world is far safer in most places now than it was back in the day.

That is mentioned in the article.

I have always believed the stories of Ivana being a tyrant, and I have never felt sympathy for Marla Maples. I mean, I get being temporarily infatuated or deceived by his “charisma” (although I’d like to think his specific brand of charisma would turn me off entirely... different strokes for different folks), but…

Not gonna lie, I want and could use one of those baby window cages. Kid loves being outdoors, but our tiny apartment doesn’t give her that option. Let’s bring this one back!

I remember going to a IT conference early in my career, and Microsoft had a panel to pitch their reporting software du-jour. I remember these guys showing how they had grabbed the email addresses of everyone with an account in MSN, cross-referenced that with another data feed to determine the phone number for that…

It’s not GOOD that Facebook has your data, but the optimistic look is that their ultimate goal is to monetize you. They have surely facilitated awful things through their platform, from Cambridge Analytica to straight up genocide in Myanmar, but as far as data collection goes, Facebook wants money.

Exhibit A of the fact that is no liberal media bias or liberal bias of any kind in this country. Can you imagine any prominent liberal figure taking this stance? They know they will get buried even by their base, so every support of any kind of protest is always preceded by non-violence.

Which is exactly what someone from the marketing dept of TikTok would say. ;)

I work in the field and people have no idea how powerful private data is.. its not just one name here, a birthday there, an email, a phone number, an address, a school name, a parents name, a childs name, a social security number here, a…

It seems plainly obvious TikTok should be booted from the Play Store and Apple store. It’s unacceptable that customer data could be in the hands of a surveillance state, like China.

Aretha, like her gift, was a force of nature. No, she’s not a hero or a very nice person but we aren’t celebrating very nice women. We celebrate talent, we celebrate the longevity of that talent, and the ambition while almost nothing else matters. Aretha was am-bitch- ous

Right? Kinda lukewarm and weak. Crappy diner tea.

Aretha had a lot of life traumas and mental health struggles. I guess that doesn’t excuse being a shitty friend and coworker, but maybe it helps put her behavior into context.

Do you ever ask yourself why you work for a feminist website, but write almost exclusively about women’s lowest, messiest or most base behavior?

I agree, powerful people need to be held accountable, and it’s up to the people to fight for it. And the fact that Republicans spent decades on this is my entire point - it takes organization and a long term plan to change things. It takes cooperation among your party. It takes working the ground game and making your…

This is just changing history. There has never, ever been 60 pro-choice Democrats in the Senate. Obama barely had the votes to pass the ACA, let alone get a controversial law passed that would have, at the time, seemed redundant given that Roe had been upheld by the court time and again at that point. There was zero…

No offense, but I’ve seen you make the argument that Manchin isn’t actually a Democrat so many times I guffawed reading this response. 

I don’t really feel betrayed people who would have voted for Bernie, but didn’t come out to vote for HRC (or worse, voted for Trump.) I mean, I don’t like those people—they are ejusdem generis with Republicans and basically garbage—but I can’t feel betrayed by someone who was never even on my side in the first place.

Unpopular (?) opinion. Covering such a somber topic in slideshow form to garner more clicks and ad revenue is pretty damn awful.
