As long as she doesn’t try to give WW a tiger as a side kick.

You recognize that this isn’t actually going to happen, right? Bills get introduced all the time. It’s piss easy for a congressman to introduce a bill. Very few of them actually pass. This is a political move, a way for Shaheen to look good in front of female voters without having to actually do anything that effects…

I’m pro-vaccination, but this just leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Using welfare money as a bargaining chip to force people to do something, even if it’s something they should be doing, doesn’t sit right.

Does every single kid in your district need a free breakfast? I’ve never heard of schools offering free or reduced meals to students above the poverty line (or whatever measure they use to determine who can’t afford to eat a good meal).

Seems like there’s no good way to feed some, but not all, kids breakfast. Early enough that they have time to finish a good meal would mean starting before the school bus arrives, and the parents who most need this program are also the most likely to not be able to drive their kids to school.

How much would this actually do? Presumably, if he was convicted of rape in a court of law, he’d be sent to jail for a reasonable amount of time and, upon release, there would be a number of barriers to him getting custody, like being a convicted felon, not having a job, and the head start the mother has on raising…

He banned my first account for pointing out how wildly wrong he was about a particular incident. He wrote a story about a restaurant getting protests from the Jewish community for serving Palestinian food. 5 minutes of googling and I found that the death threats were actually about a particularly militant…

Pinkham sometimes crosses the line between being a critic of Israel’s policies and being a critic of anyone who isn’t a critic of Israel’s policies, particularly the Jewish community.

I’m also curious. I know he’s a a VERY outspoken critic of Israel, but he insists that’s not antisemitism whenever anyone brings it up. What happened to him?

It’s a metaphor, and there’s only so much it can support before collapsing under its own weight. She was trying to stick to the topic of white feminists ignoring issues that mainly effect black women, not start a whole black vs white thing.

Too much work for too little gain. As long as you’re not buying the super expensive high quality hummus, it costs almost as much to make a quart of hummus as it does to buy it.

What she explained of her methodology was enough for me to tell it was flawed. That’s enough to know her results were inconclusive (like the results of any flawed studies).

Apeshit? I calmly explained to the woman that her methodology was poor and that she couldn’t conclude anything from her results.

That’s why a good, scientific survey has balances against that kind of thing. It needs to be compared to other, similar surveys and get similar results. It needs to be pored over by multiple researchers. Each individual question needs to be painstakingly dissected by trained professionals to determine the best way to…

I’m not picking at their current wording, but I’m absolutely picking at the wording of the survey. I’m a research assistant in an educational science lab. Creating surveys like that is a part of my job, and poor wording will completely destroy any conclusion you could hope to get from one. Even more so with such a…

And you’re sure this wasn’t just the wording of your questions? You didn’t ask about giving their white child to a non-white family, you asked about giving him or her to a family “of a different background”. Race was never mentioned in that question, only background, and your conclusion assumes that your subjects all…

Those jokes are part of the chance we’ve already given him though. Like you said, he’s a comedian. If his jokes aren’t particularly funny, then he’s not a very good comedian.

This is stupid. It’s like people are just looking for things to be offended by.

Admittedly it wasn’t as venomous a fuck you as it could have been, but it absolutely wasn’t an apology.

That wasn’t an apology (or a half apology), that was a Fuck You.
