There are also a lot of Germans who like to replicate the traditions of various American Indian tribes, usually based on meticulous but outdated and somewhat inaccurate guides. I honestly have no idea why there's such a profound fascination with pre-industrial indigenous cultures on another continent that so many…

I don't know if better labels will really make a difference. In consumer society, we tend to think that more information will cause people to make more socially-conscious choices. However, at a certain point, too much information is going to overwhelm the average shopper, many of whom are just going to say "eff this"…

Bah! I have all three of Chua and Rubenfeld's listed traits and all I get is overlooked constantly and languish in poverty. I like your benchmarks better because they explain why I'm not successful in that certain narrow sense of the word.

Let's just go to Final Jeopardy. And the category is... Would you like a cookie? Yes or No? If you want a cookie, say yes. If you don't, say no. Even if you want a cookie and you say no, you'll still be right.

Excellent Joke! A++++++++++++++++++! Would read again!

Keep in mind that you're not talking about rational people, and that the government can always go ahead with discrimination if they feel like it and get away with a slap on the wrist 10 years after the damage has long been done.

Thank you. I'm reluctant to say this because of how upset some people — by which I mean Americans, who never want anyone involved in their business — get whenever weight is brought up, but not all discussion of weight is "fat shaming".

Bride: I do.

And somewhere else in Texas, a heartless Ayn Rand acolyte is raging about letting those "moocher" kids game the system and not letting free market incentives have an effect.

If a few details seem a little off, it may very well be that she just didn't report events entirely accurately. Maybe she wasn't very close to a lot of people, especially not on Twitter. If this happened to me, I would probably appear the same way if anyone remembered me at all. This doesn't seem like Munchausen by…

That's not the first thing I think of when I hear "fappy" ...

This is about how I feel about this:

I never called you a hillbilly. I called you out on your privilege, and the fact that you defend yourself with "no bias against anyone" before displaying extreme bias and telling me to think of the straight menz shows that you need to educate yourself more. You don't get a free pass for being a liberal atheist.

So much feels and tears. I don't think the point is that Phutt's approval is necessary, but that Phutt approves because he is supposed to approve, though. He sees the best in Jane, the average-looking woman with the kind heart.

I have to admit, I've had my share of run-ins with this sort, and I think I know who you're talking about. They act like men living men's fantasies about women's lives. That behaviour is kind of offensive, but I don't think most trans women are like that.

I think there's hope for Piers. I don't think he's a terrible person or deserves to die or anything of the sort. He just didn't do enough to educate himself ahead of time.

Because I'm still in the greys on Jezebel, I feel the desire to give you the verbal beating you deserve. So here goes:

I've been in classes that are 90% male and it is a little daunting, but I've never decided to not participate and attend at all over imagined anxieties. It's not like Crybaby Dude actually got taunted here. He just assumed that the girls wouldn't like him and didn't take the opportunity to drop the course.

I don't get that. I've noticed that almost always there's more emotion (and threats!) over dogs than people.

I don't understand police sometimes. They often seem like they're on a power trip or something, and then later found some reason to justify whichever cruel thing they decided to do. Seriously, what suicide risk?
