I think Dennis Rodman, of all people, clarified “n-word” privileges as regards white people: if you, hypothetical white person, know a black person, work with them closely, and are good friends with them, you may, eventually, have n-word privileges WITH THAT ONE PERSON.

Ah. Insight. That and five dollars will get you a coffee at Starbucks. But it will do nothing to make life easier with the person/people who now think I’m an idiot for confirming my ignorance, rather than smiling and nodding.

Though the frequency and direction of racist actions are, we might say, just a *tad* unevenly distributed.

Sure, and now you look like an ass. And you’ve gained...what, exactly?

Much like “how to wear blackface”, the answer to “how to talk about race as a white person is simple: don’t.

I would recommend against giving your daughters additional reasons to kill you.

As in, you like them in a white wine sauce?

The joke I’ve been hearing is that at the final debate, asked for his closing remarks, Trump just stares at the camera and says “The Aristocrats” before walking offstage.

No, Boston does not get the Joker. Ever since an Australian playing the character while filming in Chicago decided that he could best creep out the world by putting on the local accent, he belongs to the Windy City.

Out of all the leads, he definitely has the most experience playing characters in good blockbusters. Then again, he also has the most experience in bad blockbusters, too.

Or the target audience could be the 97% of America that does *not* live in NYC, very few of whom live in conditions anything close to as cramped as typical NYC apartments.

Lots of jobs require folks to live in shitty places (oil derricks, open-sea fishing, fracking in North Dakota...). But only NYC pretends it’s a perk.

I’m perfectly happy in the 200Kish city where I live. Visited New York for a long weekend, felt crowded in the whole time.

I’ve never seen the appeal in paying huge amounts of money to sleep in a glorified closet and live cheek to jowl with 10 million other people.

Oh, and he made a career of driving unsafely. That “The Initmidator” dies in a car crash because his recklessness finally caught up to him is almost poetic.

My wife and I said it within a month of meeting each other. It’s not the word you need to worry about, it’s when people deploy it as a tool to get what they want.

Honestly, her antics are so far beyond the pale that I find a gender flip unnecessary. I don’t want to meet the person who says it’s fine for her to do this to him but not okay for a man to do the same to a woman. (I also don’t want to meet the person who says this is okay in any relationship, but that horrible,…

My brother was on opiates for over a month when he tore his ACL, he appreciated the mental check-out from constant pain but didn’t really experience a high. I got a bottle of similar stuff when I had my wisdom teeth out, and it got me high as a kite. So people can have wildly different reactions, even when they share…

I gotta go with the record that will stand forever, personally. When Star Trek needed to invent a mid-21st-century baseball star, they had his claim to fame being breaking Joe DiMaggio’s hit streak - because they knew it would hold.
