While I wholeheartedly agree, I’m not sure where these recruits should go instead.

I’ll be that guy.

Yes, I’m sure a YouTube video with an unrelated “angry feminist” meme in the thumbnail will have a very reasoned approach to racism.

“Pretending to be dominant over another race” is not the definition of racism.

That is still what is being taught in my nieces’ schools. I also see textbooks posted regularly with the same ish.

The “OK” knocked me out. It has to be the the step child of “I said what I said” This child is COMPLETELY unbothered by his teacher. It’s fabulous. And I have been trying to find a way to articulate what my mood for 2018 is and this child found it for me.

Always wondered why there’s that one person who looks incredibly on edge on every flight.

The throttling made sense in the laziest way possible:

I think that reinforces the point though — the conversation here should be a lot more nuanced and handled more deftly. I’m in my 30s now and I know how to say no, but pretty much throughout my 20s as I explored my sexuality I consistently ran into situations that I didn’t know how to handle. There’s a lot of pressure…

Wait, so Rey is a Mary Sue, but Chirrut Imwe is not a Gary Stew? She lives a hardscrabble lifetime of streetfighting and climbing/parkour through downed Star Destroyers (i.e. equivalent to the days of training that Luke got on Doagobah) and Chirrut is a blind middle-aged man with no force abilities who takes down…

CPS is generally shit though. They remove kids they shouldn’t and don’t remove kids they should. I live in a smaller state than CA and, smaller county than where this occurred. Our CPS is so over stressed that it takes a miracle to really get kids out of bad situations. And even if they actually do get them out-they…

Not saying turn a blind eye. But ‘if you are wrong, so what’ is waaaaaay to cavalier.

That’s Extremely Worrying: The US School System

Off topic, but is anyone else finding it weird that Jezebel hasn’t mentioned the Aziz Ansari thing yet? Am I missing something? If I am, will someone please fill me in?

I choose to use common sense in these instances. People don’t make this stuff up, her account is extremely detailed, she obviously knows/ is in contact with him, and he made a half-assed apology.

This piece of crap screws it up for the rest of us. It’s one thing to be pushy, fine, if that’s your style. Some maybe like it, but once you get the no vibes, shut that shit down and be respectable or gtfo. Women are people, too. Not just receptacles for advances. Take your shot, but respect the response and act…

I’m not sure what your issue is with Babe.net. They aren’t a Russian porn site or anything, they are a website that has been up for a few years with an emphasis on girls and young women. Their readership is in the millions. I mean, what are you claiming is more legit? Jezebel? According to the editor, this is what…

Do you think it’s likely that you’re caring about the wrong things here?

Because whether or not the story is true, she’s probably going to receive online abuse and death threats if her details get out? Supposing for a second that it is true, why is she obliged to put herself through that? ‘Remain silent’ and ‘deal with Internet assholes’ should not be the only two options.

Pedantic? Are you sure you know what that means?
