Can we please stop paying attention to this asshole? Either it’s all staged, or he’s an abusive asshole who is going to give this woman PTSD.

I had a shocking similar experience, except it was my homeless street preacher uncle and he loved talking about how “stupid” other people’s beliefs were.

I hate to defend Whoopi, but I think she’s trying to say that there is a lack of support for black women. She’s wrong to think access to roles is equitable, but the second issue is Hollywood is much more interested in voting for white women than it is in voting for women of color.

In doing this, they are going to lose money that could otherwise go towards services. Over a bunch of bullshit.

I like how he says he doesn’t care, while expressing irritation. If something irritates you, you do care.

E.) God exists but could care less about some hairless monkeys on a rock circling a boring star.

The segway is more practical as an accessibility device. The balance required for these scooters makes them fairly impractical!

Especially the jab about wearing a helmet. Like, wut? Protection from brain injuries is now dorky?

Yeah, I’ve seen them in public. And I thought those sneakers with wheels were bad...

C trumps that, though. People generally ride on wheelchairs and mobility scooters because they otherwise would be unable to get from point A to B. These scooters aren’t a valid accessibility device, very few people with mobility disabilities could use them.

The fact it took several tries to break makes me think the prep wasn’t really up to speed.

Catholic groups in my state shut down/disassociated from basically all foster care programs because they didn’t want kids to go to gay parents and cohabitation couples. This doesn’t surprise me, at all. Basically they’d rather go scorched earth than run their state funded programs according to secular rules.

Some names bother me. Like Nevaeh, or adding random letters to names. I also think, in general, children shouldn’t be named after brand name consumer goods. But it’s totally my bias, and I recognize this and choose to treat everyone with kindness and respect.

A more distinctly Korean name (Park is Korean, and it’s also European), or a reference to Korean culture, would have more than sufficed. Those cultural references were provided for other characters.

More likely mandatory vasectomies and IUDs (or whatever comparable tech we have then). And probably a dozen courses of RU-486, just in case.

This is silly.

I really like fruit leather, even though I know it’s the equivalent of fruit by the foot with a Flintstones chewable sprinkled on top.

It’s a double edged sword, though, since now everyone thinks they’re just being trendy and many of the “gluten free” products have a high risk of contamination which isn’t okay for many people with celiac. So they’re basically back to eating a lot of rice, just like they were twenty years ago.

That’s been the attitude for the last 4 years. She’s not going anywhere quickly ;) about 15% of Stage 4 colon cancer patients are alive 5 years out, she will probably be one of them (she had 3.5 years of continuous chemo in her clinical trial and had two surgeries, she’s defied the odds).

Yeah, I need to figure out one she could manage. It’s just hard because of her physical and cognitive limitations. I’d also need people to stop buying her cigarettes while she adjusted. I’m sure I’ll figure something out, though!
