I see one reason: The primaries are the only chance Democratic voters have to really send a message to Democratic leadership. Bernie Sanders may have lost the primary last time but his strong showing gave him at least some clout in the party afterwards.

Or, put another way:

I have a feeling it’s more they can’t penalize players for kneeling because such a rule change violates their contract and money means more to them than anything.

flannel and ripped corduroy =/= “punk”

Hey, some people need to hear the word another thousand times before they get it. Thank you so much for talking about this!

The Topside test is presented (in the linked context) as a measurement for trans literature, rather than a recommendation for all media. It’s working from the sad status quo that some college or graduate courses will pretend they’ve fully addressed “trans lit” by including one work with a trans side character who only…

Watched it last night and when guy said but you choose to be trans, i screamed at TV.

Turns out they elected Ociey Sanders and have rent control.

I have to remember you’re not used to your humanity being mocked on a daily basis.

I’m going to preface this by saying that rescinding Manning’s visiting fellowship was a cowardly move on the part of Harvard; if they’d had misgivings about her previous actions or her place in the national discourse, they would’ve done better to never extend the invitation in the first place than to offer it and then…

Just as long as he’s voiced by Terry Crews.... confusing everyone.

I think the superdelegates system is BS and the DNC pulled some shady shit. But Hillary was still the far better (dare I say... tolerable) candidate compared to Trump, yet many Sanders supporters DESPISED her to the point of jumping ship or staying home.

Dozens of anti-facists protesters, known as antifa, pounced when Joey Gibson, founder of the right-wing group Patriot Prayer, showed up with his crew. Antifa protesters beat one man with a shield and another person wearing an American flag.

That traffic cone thing is great. I grew up in the third world though and my grandfather had a sick sense of humor. He’d have all the kids and grandkids start killing chickens around 8 (or whenever you could swing a machete and not hurt yourself) but he’d always “forget” to mention that when you behead a chicken the…

yep, yep, yep. In this case, the police were right to arrest the activists for their civil disobedience, that’s their job. The activists, however, were not inherently wrong in wanting the statue gone (especially given what they mean and how few states are willing to remove them). So, they responded in a way that was…

So it’s not bad enough I got my dad’s face, which no haircut can flatter, now mall cops are going to challenge me when I use the public restroom because I am not male-defined feminine? Screw them all.

I have to put my foot down on this garbage that meal prep is hard.

I eat four meals per day. 30 days in a month. That’s 120 meals a month.

Take that Twinkie example. By switching “definitively” to keto/paleo, you’ve introduced a rigid diet structure to avoid ever having to assess if eating a Twinkie once in a while would be acceptable for your health. That approach is working for you, and well done on your desired weight loss.

That’s exactly how I do it too. Learned that from the night watch guys during my time at Digital Equipment Corporation (back when it existed.) Never have had to change a thing; also never hacked (not discounting the fact that I may well have nothing of value to be hacked.)
