My mother thought that it was Miley Cyrus in the most recent Jumanji movie. I said, “No, Mom, that’s Awkwafina and she is clearly Asian, while Miley is as white as they come.” My mom gets people mixed up all the time. Doesn’t matter the race. I think she has a sort of face blindness. So, she heard her and she sounded…

This is not true about Canada. I’ve visited Canada before and no homes I went to asked me to take off my shoes when I got there and no one I was with took off their shoes when entering a house.

Then no one is oppressed. You can’t define oppression by the skin color of the person experiencing it. You have to define it by what is happening to them.

Having to hide who you really are in order to not be treated unfairly is also a form of oppression.

Forgiving someone and defening them are completely different things. To forgive someone, you have to acknowledge that they wronged you. Defending someone is saying they did nothing wrong. Besides, she said, “It wasn’t rape-rape” when he drugged her and raped her over her pleas to stop.

So, a white gay man or white trans person can’t claim to be oppressed? A white Muslim can’t claim to be oppressed? There are no categories of minority and oppressed that have white people in them? 

The mere fact of being her and commenting doesn’t mean this is the only place a person gets their information from. It may not even be a starting point. A lot of people are here because they like discussing things with other commenters and they started coming here because it did have writers who not only knew what…

Dude, I wasn’t talking about your opinions on art or movies or anything like that. I was talking about the part where you said that people at work shouldn’t have fun.

Man, your coworkers must love you. I bet you aren’t invited to any office social events.

A lot of times, by the time the Puppy Bowl airs, most of the puppies have been adopted already.

You could say the same for figure skating and gymnastics, even snowboarding and skateboarding, but these are all events in the Olympics, which is a bunch of people who are considered athletes performing in events that are considered sports.

So many people think that all he did was provide the money for a dog fighting ring. Which is bad enough, but he actually physically killed some of the dogs in a vicious and cruel manner and he did *not* serve enough time for that nor should he have been allowed to go back to being a public figure in the NFL. He showed…

Half the football fans (that’d be American football, not what we call soccer) are all up in arms about the divisional game where in OT the team who won the coin toss got a touchdown and won the game without the other offense getting a chance to make a try of their own.

So, a while back I came across a picture of a woman in the Army carrying her noticeably larger fellow troop. She was not an unusually large or muscular woman. She was probably in the 5'5" to 5'7" range and had slightly muscular legs, but nothing that would make anyone take note of the muscles (so, not as muscular as…

Man, you have a gigantic chip on your shoulder.

That’s not really just a neurodivergent trait. Lots of neurotypical people do that. It’s a pretty human trait and, yes, some people do try to play the “my experience is worse/better than yours” game, but most people do it because humans want to share and feel closer to other humans and talking to each other about…

This happened to me, too. I just could not keep any of the second set of prep down, no matter how hard I tried (I gagged during the first set, but was able to keep it down.) Fortunately, I had already cleared things out, but I don’t want to do that again. I hate throwing up more than just about anything.

The dispatcher ought to be named in that, too. Having done that job, I can tell you that when an officer gives you a name and date of birth, you run that and, if you get any hits, you check to make sure that the hits are actually the person they are out with. NCIC will hit on similar names and similar dates of birth…

I have so many books on my Kindle that I probably will never be able to read them all. And my wishlist has a ton more books than that. And I’m about to add two more from this article.

Have you been to one of his concerts? It is so much fun!
