It’s obviously fucked up to use “female” as a noun. That’s pretty straightforward, I think. That being said—I’ve also noticed that most of the writers on this site and other GMG properties are no longer using “female” as an adjective, either. For instance: this article. This is something I’ve wondered about, in part…

Well, I work for a managed service provider. We literally have hundreds of clients, of which about 50 are contracted clients who we’re supposed to call back on a thirty-minute SLA. I do add a lot of numbers to my address book, but with some of them, calls tend to come in from a variety of random cell phones and direct…

Uh... people like me who are required by their company to answer calls? I work in IT, and some of our clients are known to refuse to leave voicemails and then bitch at us later about not being responsive. 

Yeah—I lived in Dallas for a while, and I have to say that I prefer the open spaces here to the endless conveniences of the big metros. If you have a bunch of Apple products that keep breaking, though, as I once did, and you don’t live in Albuquerque... well, let’s just say that being here can become a major pain in…

In that general area, yeah. It’s on the main ABQ Uptown drag, where they have all the fancy clothing stores and shit that also don’t exist anywhere else in the state...

Meanwhile, here in New Mexico, we have exactly one (1) real, full-sized Apple Store in the entire goddamn state.

Ah, you see, that’s where you’re wrong. They don’t follow Jesus. They follow Jeezus. A small—but rather important—distinction. 

See, that’s the thing. They don’t actually care about saving the government’s money—case in point, that 1.5 trillion dollar tax giveaway. No, this program is offensive to them because it takes corporations’ money, and Pai’s primary purpose in office is to return as much money to corporations as possible. 

Our Valencia tomato here in NM got burnt to a crisp during a heatwave a few weeks back. All its leaves shriveled up, turned brown and fell off—we thought it was a goner for sure. But I rigged up a little sun shade with some burlap cloth from the hardware store and started watering it more aggressively, and recently…

Elected judicial seats—as implemented in most of this country, at least— are a terrible idea, because they allow hordes of unqualified, know-nothing fuckwits to become judges on overtly political platforms. I might be OK with a hybrid system like the one my state uses, where the executive nominates judges and the…

You do realize that there are always other candidates and causes on the ballot in a Presidential election than just the executive, don’t you? There are governor’s races, Congressional seats, local positions, ballot initiatives... I failed to even mention it in my comment, but that’s the other reason why it’s so…

No, I’m not going to let them off the hook. They are responsible for this situation, too—and by letting them forget it, we risk the same thing happening in 2018 and 2020. So many of those apathetic non-voter friends and acquaintances I mentioned were fucking appalled when Trump actually won. Some later told me that…

I’m more angry at his shitty attitude than I am at the practical effects of his not voting, which I admit were negligible. But I had numerous conversations with people during the election who espoused the same apathetic viewpoint, and there were far too many takes from lefty commentators and columnists which…

I guess I’m one of the mythical “undecided voters,” in that I am undecided as to whether I will vote at all. There are surely more undecided voters like me than of the other type, those civic-minded numbskulls who populate televised town halls and Frank Luntz focus groups because they are positive they will vote, but…

Trump used to be pro-choice and pro-gun-control. I don’t think he gives a shit what anyone used to believe about anything, so long as they lick his boots—and almost no one has been a better bootlicker than Jeanine.

Where’s Judge Jeanine’s entry? Because at this point, I’m giving it at least a 50% chance that he nominates her because she says nice things about him on the teavee.

And I agree that it’s very important for us to do so, but that’s not going to help us all that much with combating the actions of an even-more-conservative Supreme Court.

Except... that wouldn’t help us at all on this one? The House has nothing to do with confirming Supreme Court nominees. 

FYI everyone—Fakespot gives this a “D” grade, indicating that approximately 40% of the reviews are fake astroturfing by the seller. Not a good sign.
