I quickly realized the movie was not made for someone like myself to relate to. Sure, the straight-forward issues a white teenager-in-Sacramento-who-then-moves-to-NYC-for-college faces are valid, and I’m glad people were moved. But what about the non-white teenager who grew up with an ill mom and isn’t able to express…

Unless you read the statement as tacit confirmation that Tennessee’s conservative lawmakers see non-white, non-Christian people as something less than fully formed and developed human beings...

So people are only supposed to criticize cultural trends that occurred during their lifetime? We’d better go tell all those historians writing about slavery and manifest destiny to slow their roll.

I blame Sunset magazine.

Crystals, for example, aren’t really an American Indian thing, at least not the idea that buying a crystal will heal your individual spiritual or psychological ailments.

While I agree that complaining about sending compelling characters to senseless deaths comes across as willfully obtuse in the context of this series, positioning “that’s the way it was in the books” as the answer to any and all criticism of artistic decisions regarding the show’s theme and/or tone doesn’t strike me…

Forget the people. THAT DOG IS THE MOST TERRIFYING THING I HAVE EVER SEEN.

Hey, now, I have legit had to do this with Q-tips. The new “collapsible” plastic applicators are NOT fully functional IME.

Congratulations.

I am...reluctant to publicly admit how far using the Violent Femmes’ “Add It Up” for the trailer went towards getting me excited for this movie.

...poor Skyler White from Breaking Bad...Carmela Soprano. Women who just wanted to keep their families safe and whole.

Hell, in Dante’s Inferno, has nine circles/levels, not seven—so no, I do not get it.

That’s a pretty high price tag to put on one of the world’s cheapest and easiest DIY projects.

That’s what I was thinking, too. Now we finally know why there was so frickin’ much of him—the producers wanted to get their money’s worth.

I also don’t think she should take the test, but my reasoning is somewhat different. “Native American” identity isn’t genetic, it’s cultural. If Warren’s “family lore” has inspired her to be a better ally to the tribal nations still scattered across the country, then great, but otherwise, as far as I’m concerned,…

I got the sense that this study was significantly larger and better controlled and therefore more reliable than the older, smaller studies—which were also performed as rats, as noted in the lines you quoted, so I’m not sure why it would only be a problem for you now.

Too bad the latest research says BPA isn’t actually that dangerous: https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2018/02/23/588356360/plastic-additive-bpa-not-much-of-a-threat-government-study-finds

FOR REAL. Especially since most Jezzies are ALL FOR cultural relativism when it comes to pretty much any other topic (not that I’m necessarily complaining about that).

Thanks for making my point for me. You might want to actually read the sources you cite before offering them as evidence against someone’s argument. “Mestizo” and “Mexican of European descent” are hardly mutually exclusive categories..
