Look, I’m sold on nuclear as a great way to generate electricity without carbon emissions, even with all the issues with waste disposal (mitigated by new reactor designs, too!) but I’m still not sold on the economics of it. The cost to build a new reactor of even previously proven designs are out of this fucking…

The way I think of the premise of South Park is that it is stories told from the perspective of children growing up in this backwards small white town. These children inherited/learned their crass natures from the adults in that town. Most of the absurdity and fantastical things that happen there can be thought of as…

FWIW when your job has a high incidence of depression and PTSD, having animals around helps a lot with defusing after an incident.

I know legally that is a necessary distinction, but morally, is there any distinction at all? The white ownership, pressure from the white fans, etc., all point to the same thing: they all agree because whiteness demands it.

The severity of a Mass Casualty Incident (MCI) in emergency services is defined by the amount of resources needed. It varies geographically based on the number of resources available within that area. In this case we had five ambulances on scene, along with two others from the University’s ambulance. The local…

Well, enthusiastic enough to cause a minor mass casualty incident. Always fun dispatching ambulances here on a Friday night. Football season is the worst.

and made a rhyme with the word Orange. That’s unpossible.

Dude has heart, that’s hard to deny. Give the man a bit of credit, he ain’t just there for the cultural appropriation, he’s sincere.

He made a rhyme against the word Orange! THATS UNPOSSIBLE! I love the rest of it too.

I agree completely. I feel most of The Root commenters are the same. I like it there too. We just have to keep in mind we are basically guests in these spaces and act accordingly.

Oh I know and I’m not asking for reassurance. Thanks tho.

hehe that would never work :)

No I know that. Like I said, its a personal problem, not anything you said.

No need to say all that. Any of us who are offended probably have some listening and introspection to do. Sometimes we need to know when to just shut up and listen.

All those things you mention carry a rather negative connotation, yeah? There is even for men a lot of social shaming involved with masturbation. I won’t compare it to women, its a very different dynamic, but no, we cannot generally talk about our masturbatory practices. Its reduced to jokes and innuendo. Its just…

How many siblings are you willing to have? cuz I’m in.

Best way I can explain privilege is my own situation. Pretty sad, I guess, but I’m a useless, lazy white boy hanging on the the skin of my teeth. I like to think maybe I have some skills that that are appreciated by my superiors, but deep down I know I’m just a warm body filling a seat and doing the job adequately…

I love Pop. I wish I was as brave as he is on speaking on these issues. I try, I really want to try but I feel like there is so much more I can do that every time Pop speaks on these issues I feel ashamed knowing I can do more. I don’t mean to center myself by saying this even though that is exactly what I’m doing. I…

Is the Yankees organization a covered entity under HIPAA? Serious question. That seems odd.

Its a huge problem and no one cares. Literally, no one in emergency medical services cares about this issue. Our mental health training sucks, we do not have the tools or training to deal with violent patients and it falls to the police to get physical control before a sedative can be given or soft restraints applied.…
