They don’t exclude trans-women, they just make it perfectly clear that they’re not welcome there. It’s like saying a restaurant with a “no Blacks allowed” sign isn’t being racist because it’ll still serve blacks if they manage to fool the owner into thinking their white with some face paint.

As the Advocate points out, several prominent LGBT organizations withdrew their support from the festival in recent years, including the National Center for Lesbian Rights, Equality Michigan and the National LGBTQ Task Force. In response, Vogel accused the groups of “targeting Michfest with McCarthy-era blacklist…

Don’t worry about it. It’s an opt-in feature. You don’t have to accept messages if you don’t want to.

Users can now send DMs to any of their followers, even if they don’t follow back. Or, they can choose to receive direct messages from anyone using Twitter. While the second of these features sounds like a recipe for spam, it’s most likely intended to help brands handle customer support on the site. The ability to DM…

Can you just get it modified? I know it’ll add a bit to an already pricy position of brides maid, but it shouldn’t be impossible to take an XXL dress to a professional tailor and tell them to make it fit you.

You might have narcolepsy. That’s what my mom says she (and thinks I) has. Try talking to a sleep doctor, not just a normal one.

I got the feeling this was an official school activity, with not only consent, but active participation and promotion from school officials. Like a spirit day, but with head coverings instead of your school colors.

No, they are literally put to sleep. The lack of oxygen first makes them go to sleep, and only then does it kill them.

No? As far as humane methods for killing animals goes, inert gas is right up there at the top of the list.

I’m not sure if anyone’s ever stuck a man inside a room and purposefully filled it with nitrogen before, but the effects of inert gasses like nitrogen on our ability to stay alive has been well documented:

The use of nitrogen gas, which induces hypoxia, has never been tested on humans

Nitrogen gas causes just as little pain as your solution, and is a lot less messy.

This is what we used for mice in our lab. It seems a lot more humane than drugs, with a much smaller chance of failure. The inmate is quietly put to sleep by the lack of oxygen, and then simply never wakes up.

But Limes! And Tortillas! What she did was blatantly waste money on items useful only for taste and function instead of nutrition or calories.

Even if you say that, it’s not that hard to eat rice and pasta dishes for a weak. Hell, she could even afford some cheep meat or cans of chilli to flavor the rice. But she wasted money on inedible fruits and the most expensive form of bread (tortillas).

Is that your line in the sand then, that it’s alright to copy elements of other cultures as long as they don’t hold any ceremonial or religious meaning?

It’s complicated, because status and image indirectly result in money from wealthy donors and allow the school to charge more tuition. It’s hard to determine exactly how much the school earns from its winning basketball team though.

Sometimes it does, sometimes it means the director didn’t want to make the movie the producer wanted to produce.

Imagine quitting your job for reasons everyone promises to be vague about vs being fired for sexual harassment. Which one looks better on your resume?

Are Colleges Slower to Address Sexual Assault Cases About Athletes?
