It’s going to take Asian Americans (and Asians in other places as well) to really 1) see themselves as a much more cohesive group in the US and 2)start organizing in a loud way for this shit to stop happening. Also, it’s going to take shaking the perception as the “model minority” for a great many in this country to…

Hey, it got you to the Delta Quadrant though, so that’s...something?

These comments are pissing me off. I get it, you hate rich people and it’s fun to parse their words even when they obviously mean well. But I don’t quite believe it’s about rich people as much as it is about rich women. Rich women are somehow worse than rich men.

We had a similar exercise conducted at a hospital I worked at about 5 years ago. Our “trainer” was a knowledgeable, former FBI agent & just about the kindest man you could ever meet. The first thing he told us was, “you’re not Jack Bauer so stop pretending to be”. He said they’d get calls all the time about people…

You are correct. I have rightfully put virgin into quotation marks. Honestly, the whole idea of super-powered sex is pretty horrifying when you get down to it; Larry Niven’s classic “Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex” does a great job breaking down the absurdity of it.

The New York Daily News reports that he also has ties to a “known hate group,” though police declined to identify the group in question.

Ahhh, isnt she the Cutwife in Penny Dreadful?!

That’s awesome!

Speaking of celeb families; here some Felicia Day & behbeh

We had the news on, and they were interviewing a trans woman who I would never have even guessed was trans if she hadn’t just said so. So my wife and I were talking about the fact that if that woman on the TV walked into the ladies room, neither of us would bat an eye. But if that same trans woman were forced to use…

Kelllyanne, tragically, became a double amputee following the Bowling Green Massacre.

I never get them. Well, virtually never - I’ve had exactly one and I got over it on my own. I think it’s probably a little like cavities or acne where there are some obvious things you can do but that just don’t work for some people. I reckon about 50 years of dedicated microbiome research is going to shed light on…

I know reality tv is not brain food, and it’s not “harmless” in all cases but I love “trash tv” as much as the next person and have a doctorate. Sometimes, I don’t want to watch something “thought-provoking” when I get home from doing research on meaty issues like incarceration rates, recidivism and sexual abuse. I…

We get 480 days of paid leave. 660 if you have twins. 390 days with about 80% of your salary (up to a cap) and 90 days with a small allowance. 90 days are reserved for each parent, if they don’t use them they can’t be transferred to the other parent and are forfeited. You don’t have to use the benefits consequently or…

You don’t think coding is work? Fuck yourself and go back to the 19th century.

I disagree on the “doctor” point as long as they’re being referred to in the context of their field. If you’re talking to a professor at a university or someone doing research I feel like “Dr. ___” is way more appropriate than “Mr./Mrs./Ms. ___” because it acknowledges their qualification to speak on the subject.…

I’m sorry, but the non-MDs have it right. “Doctor” comes from the Latin for “teacher” and was used by the university teachers for two centuries before the medical use. The Ph.D. is a “Doctor of philosophy” - that’s the D.

Should have clarified. Im SEA-American living in the Northeast.
