The bigger question is why do some vegetables get commercialized and some don’t. Why are only orange varietal carrots available en masse? I love red carrots, but they are hard to find, and I live in CA. I got introduced to rattlesnake beans (like green beans), but you can only find those at the farmers’s mkt. Why?…

That’s not why someone’s gray. I’ve been going on gray for almost a decade and I’m not a troll. It’s a dumb Kinja system that rewards lots of posting—nothing more.

Always the bridesmaid.

But he looks a generation older. I’m older than Cruz, but look 10 years younger than Cruz.

Not everything has to be metered. In places where I live, it’s both 2 hours and metered, so there you go. 25 cents for 15 minutes. That’s kind of the limit of sanity. In downtown, Santa Monica, it’s 25 cents for 7 min. That’s robbery.

In LA, I believe you can move the car 10 feet and it’s legal. Haven’t heard that you can’t park on the same block for more than 2 hours. If there’s an empty space, there’s an empty space.

This is like what Amazon sounds like based on the 2015 NYT profile of the company.

After an hour, all heels hurt my feet. I have high arches and maybe not enough padding on the balls of my feet, which is where the pain starts.

Ah, the infantilization and disenfranchisement of senior citizens.

It’s gross that it’s a thing; can’t stand the tribalism of parts of Boston. I don’t live there, but annoyed that it’s portrayed in film, or embodied by the Wahlbergs, or that it exists, really.

A bit off-topic, but I’ve been gray since 2009. Gray isn’t for those who suck; it’s for those who don’t comment a lot, kind of like a purgatory. Why Kinja has this dumb system is just that - dumb. Kinja doesn’t really foster conversation, because there’s some goal one has to achieve to get to “black.” I don’t have…

You guys haven’t read the comments on DailyMail. The majority say “he’s right; she’s wrong” over the percentage. Apparently, she wasn’t enough NA for them. Trump never asked for a percentage; the DNA test proved her right, but when you have an electorate dumb as a bag of rocks, you get Trump for president. Barf.

Warren succeeded in those positions despite her mention of ancestry and you know that. Her academic and professional talents are not under dispute. And, her employers have stated that they didn’t consider her NA heritage in her hiring.

Instead of doing the test and falling into Trump’s trap, it would have been better to learn from Obama’s release of his birth certificate. The birther weren’t satisfied with that; they wanted the long-form, then they said that was fake, and supposedly Trump still has a crack team of investigators in Hawaii looking for…

Butterfingers.

Warren: Total badass. She gets in the fray and emerges victorious. 

Flake is very ineffectual.

John Oliver said people would pay good money to yell at Jeff Flake.

Her story did add up, just not in the way you think it needs to. People, especially those on the right, just didn’t understand the term “corroborating evidence.” Corroborating evidence is evidence in support of, not unassailable truth. So, the people she told about her assault prior to Kavanaugh’s nomination are…

Correct. The media should have done their job here. You’re not a lame duck president for an entire year! It’s just the 2 months from Nov - Jan.
