Hey great tradition, solid thing to do instead of Black Friday. I fully support it. I'm just saying a thing that there are people that have been doing Black Friday literally their whole adult lives. Traditions have to start somewhere, and that sounds like a solid start of one.

Except not really, because, as I wrote, a majority of those regressive zombies supported these progressive ideas.

Offhand, I know a few people that have been doing that since the turn of the century. (I just wrote it like that to make it sound like a really long time. But still, 15 years is long enough to make a tradition.)

For a lot of people it's a tradition. A tradition that makes life shitty for a bunch of other people. Another reason to declare War on Black Friday.

Personally, I've declared a War on Black Friday. It's bad enough that it's starts Thursday at 5 fucking pm now, throw in employers keeping workers perpetually underemployed as a form of manipulation, and acting like they should be grateful to get these extra hours, while people kill each other fighting over shitty…

Yeah, but there aren't as many Medicis around as there used to be.

Pat's a protestant, so I'm don't really see why he would care about this Pope saying something other Popes have been saying for the past 50 years.

He said an in interview that Catholic church leaders and lay people, as well as those outside the church, are reacting strongly to the Vatican meeting because they aren't accustomed to addressing issues the way Francis advocates.

I don't know, there's a very big anti-incumbent push in my area, south Louisiana, at least. Of the dozen or so important races (DA, City Marshal, School Board Seats, etc), only 2 incumbents remain. We're talking about people who have served 20-30 years not making it. Plus if the course stays, Mary Landrieu, 3 term…

It's upside down when you drink from the can. GET IT? DO YOU SEE?

"Get up from under that bed, you can't hide from people you don't like."

Holy shit, that's really his legal name? Fuck him.

What this guy needs is prison time, and therapy. But the way the world works, we'll be lucky if he even gets one of those things.

See, I was thinking she'd be great in regular 50 Shades. Specifically is she's got a gag on. Silence is golden.

"...and is (like the song) a fuck you to all those people who think Taylor is (in her words) "a serial dater, jet setting around with all her boyfriends, she can get 'em but she can't keep 'em because she's too emotional and she's needy."

So I can't discuss the finer points of writing without having a stick up my ass? Ok.

Even if you wish to discuss the societal biases mothers face (which is certainly a valid topic of discussion) it's a point that's not related to the quote she couched it in. And I think you're being generous to call it humor.

Survivor Bias is a sampling error, that there may be a confounding variable unaccounted for. The biases Tracey is taking about are societal prejudices. The author of the study is saying "You probably can't extrapolate this too far, it may just be a result of who asked ie already highly successful people". That's the…

Then, like most things from the 80s, it's best left there.

It is? Then that's a really stupid point.
