My impression was that the hashtag isn't for educating black people about how nice the cops are to white people, but educating fellow white people on their own hypocrisy. It's a lot harder to say that these murdered black men were thugs and criminals who "got what they deserved" when white people admit to the same…

you know what I find offensive? 18 year olds getting shot and prosecutors intentionally throwing the case

As a physician, this is spot on. Great article. It's amazing how even my coworkers seem to forget the basic science they learned in medical school and develop these faulty beliefs which propagate the problem. Also, VACCINATE YOUR CHILDREN. That is all.

I had an epidural and formula fed my kids. BOOM.

ironically enough female strippers have a higher than normal rate of physically abusive fathers.

Translation: "My city told Uber they would have to follow transit and commerce regulations and taxes instead of their willy-nilly avoidance of existing city laws, and they took their Techbro ball and went home to pout."

Or maybe he fucking sucks in bed and she's too nice to tell him.

Everyone is blowing this is off as some weird fetish-y thing and missing Mark's larger point: this is becoming normal. Let me repeat that again: hardcore, extreme and often dangerous sexual acts, overwhelmingly involving women, are becoming more and more normalized. Things that should be seasoned fetishes and…

Nope, sorry. Hitting is hitting. No definitions needed. The child may not be being beat with a baseball bat, but they are still being physically hit by the person who is supposed to protect them. Not ok. Ever. And all this "My parents beat the shit out of me and I'm FIIINE" is bullshit. Just because you didn't (and…

Ignoring the behavior in a young child is a fairly common and successful strategy. Children can't always tell the difference between positive and negative attention. If you make a big deal about the hitting or other bad behavior they can learn to use it as an attention gaining technique. You have to judge what…

Because maybe he was a non-verbal, large 2 year old, and if the mom had done what moms did in the past with non-verbal kids - get his hand, give a quick slap to the hand, so he can associate hitting his mother with pain - people would call CPS on her for child abuse.

I've been "addicted" to games with a large variety of interesting, compelling content or a long-run development in a sandbox where there's carryover from one gaming session to the next (Skyrim, New Vegas, a lot of city builder-type games, even NBA 2K12 falls into that latter category in MyPlayer.)

But games that are…

"I'm a Portlander".

ALL VACCINES ARE THALIDOMIDE AHHHHHHH

I got vaccinated and I'm poor as fuck. I blame the vaccinations.

Nothing angers me more that people who take medical advice from Jenny McCarthy. She is an idiot, and a dangerous one at that.

All my favorite minstrel performers are black.

But guys, I've heard the word thug once before in non-relation to black people! That TOTALLY means it isn't being used by middle-aged white guys to call up images of gang violence and 90's-era rappers to paint black men as intimidating!

I'm not going to call Flowbee a rape apologist because I don't have evidence of that, but it is disturbing that football players accused of rape get more support than Kluwe seems to get.

Phil Robertson who has not been fired and still has a job in spite of saying something exponentially more hateful and crazy than anything that has ever come out of Kluwe's mouth? That Phil Robertson? The guy who took a brief break from ranting and raving about how gays are going to hell (and suggesting that grown men…
