Every spiritual tradition is continuing with the same reckoning that the culture-at-large is experiencing. Buddhism is no exception. I used to study quite a lot of Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche’s work, and the accusations that came out against him were so horrifying that it didn’t seem that burning the books would be…
Here it is worth noting that walnut contains several chemical compounds you might not want too close to your food. I’m a woodworker with horsey friends & sometimes save planer shavings for them — but I always carefully sequester any walnut shavings because they can kill a horse. Nothing grows within 50ft of a walnut…
I think Marianne Williamson's oma is probably older than the woman in the video.
The best part is later when Swallwel said “But you are the government.” That is pretty much a summation of Bernie’s problems.
I always find question dodging frustrating (and that's hardly something unique to Sanders; everyone does it) but that RISE UP, RISE UP rhetoric to every question was so fucking grating I wanted nothing more than for the moderators to cut his mic.
Can we...stop pretending that this guy and his wagging winger is cute or worth listening to?
Hey, you’re welcome! Come sit by me and we’ll be misanthropes together.
He flopped. Hard. He couldn’t even say how he’d do it except the “people will rise up.”
I'm happy that he's happy, but I neeeeever want to meet this person.
Oh hell naw you just know this dude is insufferable.
Yeah I feel like I’m one of many women who might be the audience for this ad? I shave my legs and sometimes my thighs, but I’ve never shaved my pits or pubes. It’s nice to be reminded that body hair is an aesthetic choice, not some type of horror to be abolished.
Out of curiosity, what part of this ad makes you think that a man’s preference re: sexual partners has anything to do with said advertisement?
I have a Billie and I like it. I use that Billie to shave my calves and knees but very rarely my thighs or pubic region. I don’t think it’s a terribly conflicted ad—I think they mean that shaving is not an all-or-nothing grooming procedure. No one likes capitalism, but using feel-good ads to normalize bodies is an…
“‘What if he’s a loser?’”
LOL “if”. With Trump as his parent, being a loser was virtually assured.
As dumb as Trump is, he was prescient about that.
Obvious but I’ll say it anyway: Junior’s “hunting” and killing large wild animals is another expression of the same thirsty insecurity. He’s much smaller in every way than he tries to appear.
I disagree, kind of. Trump the Elder is all about Looking Strong, and Winning. So Junior’s macho posturing would be effective if Pops was capable of giving a damn about anyone but himself. I’m sure he approves of it in a casual, devastatingly unsatisfying fashion.
Call me weird, but the right’s constant screeching about the flag as if it’s got some kind of magical powers and loses them when people don’t treat it like a god is probably my favorite “culture wars” thing to laugh at them about. Like, it’s miles ahead of guns, abortion, prayer in schools, whatever else. They cannot…
I’ve seen a story or two like this before, and as someone who works everyday to get people *out* of custody, it is utterly baffling and not at all cute.
