On trans topics I am usually not joking at all. On hate crimes, not joking. On politicians? Sometimes joking. Breakfast cereal? Laughs.

...that was a joke. >_<

Why is the Apple iBookstore and Hachette situation not getting any coverage? because there isn't an issue, Apple treats them equally. Amazon is trying to control more of the market by making it impossible for other people to survive and eventually becoming a monopoly.

Mr. Colbert might give Amazon the finger, but if you want a vision of the future, imagine Bezos's boot stamping on the book publishers' faces - forever.

You are quite ignorant. This young woman speaks three languages - how many do you speak? And she is in fact, not from this country and is not African American. At least get your facts straight when trolling.

Amazing how this young woman who speaks three languages was treated as if she is stupid by someone who speaks only one.

Beating the odds within her community and based on her personal circumstances. This was implied, I was correct in my phrasing.

You have absolutely no place diminishing the accomplishments of a girl who was living under enormous disadvantages that did, in fact, weigh heavily against her graduating from high school. Last year the U.S. had its highest high school graduation rate in 40 years, at 75% (http://www.theatlantic.com/national/archi…).…

Alright, I have nothing to do right now. What exactly is your justification for your original comment? Explain to me how that's not a horrid, elitist, pointlessly mean thing to say.

Where does garbage like you come from

Congratulations Rachel. All good things for you.

Congrats young lady! With a strong sense of self and hard work the world is yours.

It was a prom dress.

Not ashamed to say I like this dress. It's an odd choice for a wedding, but I'm all for ditching white as the default wedding color, so I applaud the bold choice. This dress says "fuck tradition, if I'm going to dress as a princess for a day, it'll be in the color of MY choice."

(whispers) I actually like this...

That's what kills me — people have thrown SO MUCH money away on silly ill-conceived Kickstarters that startup weirdos dreamed up as get-rich-quick schemes.

I have to say: I never, ever understood what it really meant for something to be "triggering" until I started following this incident, tried to read Rodger's "manifesto," and learned more about the conversations/cultures on these forums.

EXACTLY. This is the thing that the mens crying "BUT YOU CAN'T DICTATE WHO I'M ATTRACTED TO" seem to not get, about this subject and about this clip.

I think Louie is supposed to be uncomfortable. Deeply uncomfortable.

Tracie did a story about her secret tattoos a week ago. This is just a follow up to highlight her success of outing Dolly.
