I have never had any interest whatsoever in a threesome. I’m not morally opposed but I suspect it’s like showering with a partner—one of you is always standing away from the water, feeling chilly with shampoo in your hair.

Have you read the novel Lovecraft Country? It’s about a group of Black people caught up in a supernatural story, but the main point of the book is how living in fifties America (it’s set just post Korean War) is basically like living in a Lovecraft story—that racism is such a horrible and insanity-making thing that it…

Eh, fuck the hotel industry. Most of those regulations you mention are put in place to protect them from competition, not protect the community. They don’t give a shit about you, your community, or any other grand ideas...they only care about profit (as is their right as businesses). They aren’t your friends.

In the interest of self-preservation, of course it’s the last thing she should have done. But if I were her parent, after the terror subsided, I’d be proud as hell that I was raising a child with so much bravery and selflessness.

A woman’s body hair is just as natural as a man’s and many women are pressured to be hairless from the eyelashes down. A woman’s skin is as natural as a man’s, but a woman can lose her job or promotion if she doesn’t paint her face. Women can be suspended from their jobs for being too fat (see the Egyptian news…

you should not be allowed to publicly espouse a sexist belief system, no matter what the basis.

We cannot forget how many place in the world prosecute women for not presenting themselves in the world as “not as alright” as a man.

The police who enforce the laws on the beach wouldn’t know about my morals or beliefs about women in general. Or maybe they’d just presume my outfit was innocent because I’m white. Absolutely nothing about policing women’s clothing says women are free and equal to me, although that’s purportedly what they’re trying to…

What that lady in the photo is wearing is almost exactly what I wear to the beach, except my outfit is called “swim tights” and “rash guard,” not “burkini.” And I don a floppy hat instead of the hair wrap. Why? Because I have very fair skin that fries in the sun. I tend to cover up entirely if I’m spending any real…

Yeah, and the statement is, “I’m threatening to shoot you.”

I do not agree that being uncomfortable with armed vigilantes makes someone a “rape apologist”.

So that’s intimidation, threats, and harassment, right? Like, in my mind there’s protesting and then there’s writing slogans about murdering or mutilating someone and then standing outside their home with weapons. But I guess it’s cool this time because reasons. What will be the tone of the comments section if someone…

I don’t agree with this at all. Mob justice is never a solution. How about they protest their courts and work to change a justice system that gave this POS 6 months, down to 3 for good behaviour. Also, they are still trying to recall that judge so California peeps sign the petition to recall him.

I feel sorry for the neighbors on that street. They didn’t choose to live beside him, and shouldn’t have a bunch of armed idiots patrolling their neighborhood.

I’m sure the people calling for castration and camo-clad assault rifle enthusiasts will act only as a force for good.

It’s not that the issues are caused by them. It’s more that by reintegrating them into society they will feel like they have something to lose.

No, you saw someone talking specifically about a *rehabilitation program* that’s been showing success reducing recidivism in Ontario, Canada. I’d suggest re-reading it and the posted article.

Beyond being less objective, success in the humanities requires highly developed communication and rhetorical skills. Math, music and other pursuits often produce these prodigies because they are self-contained disciplines, where advancement can occur without concurrent development of other skills.

Would you want a convicted killer anywhere near another human being? Because they also get released and they can live anywhere they like.

He can hang out with lots of dudes his own emotional age by joining a fraternity.
