Bullshit response. The universities still could 1.) implement comprehensive sexual harassment training 2.) review their sexual harassment policies and their reporting procedures 3.) ask current staff and PHd students to identify problem staff and than force those persons to take more advanced training. They are not…

They don’t press her more because it doesn’t work. She’s not gonna answer the question, in most cases she doesn’t know the answer because Trump doesn’t tell anyone the answers, for another the media doesn’t have precisely one question (it’s not like everyone can just press her on DACA and ignore North Korea tweets),…

It’s not heritage for Hoekstra. he was actually born in Groningen.

“Shanty Irish” doesn’t just mean Irish American. It means working class Irish-American. Shanty. Middle class Irish Americans are Lace Curtain Irish. I doubt there’re fistfights at Kennedy family events.

u think democrats are not courting trump voters? why not court progressives and independents?

I’m not a “Bernie Bro,” but I did vote for him in the primary. I have long been a fan of Booker and I would support either of these 2 for a national race. In fact, I would much rather have President Harris than President Clinton. Sorry that people are so in love with Hillary “Tough on Black Crime, Super Predator…

Agrabah doesn’t actually exist. It’s a fictional landscape. And when did I say I had written off this movie for that I think it’s going to be terrible? You’re reading into my words

This isn’t a community theatre production with 12 actors. This cast is 500 people. Disney claims literally 400 of them were Middle Eastern. A place like Agrabah would probably have been less then 80% Middle Eastern/South Asian. A lot of those Middle Easterners wouldn’t look Middle Eastern. Levantine Arabs frequently…

Jason, this is Africa. Your default assumption should always be that the rich white people most responsible for any given mess are French, with a possible assist from the Brits.

Ever heard of the Ogadeen conflict? AKA the one that started the rebellion that brought Mohamed Siad Barre down, thus indirectly leading to the mess that Somalia is today? Did you hear that it everything would have been different (and Somalia not only united, but saved) because when the Soviets airlifted in Cubans to…

Mainstream != making money. Mainstream=suburban moms.

Why do they need to explain it?

I mean I’m not saying better research couldn’t have been done, but are you able to quickly identify a western European person’s nationality immediately upon looking at a picture of them? What about an African person or someone who lives in an Asian country?

Legally speaking the Duchy of Cornwall is a peerage title with a very special remainder. It owns vast tracts of real estate. As eldestson of the Monarch he gets it automatically under those rules, which date to the 13th century. Granted those rules can change by Act of Parlaiment, but all property rules can change by…

Particularly since they were already in New York City.

I have no fucking clue why LooseSeals is talking about investing. Their wealth is mostly land. Vast tracts of land. The land goes with the jobs.

Strictly speaking Lady Di was a commoner. Her father was Earl Spencer, but under English law an Earl and his wife (the Countess) are the only nobles in the family. The children are high-ranking gentry. Gentry are not nobility, they are high-ranking commoners. Which is why Princess Michael (daughter of an Austrian…

“Princess Michael of Kent” is just the equivelent of the old fashioned “Mrs. Barrack Obama” for Michele Obama or Mrs. geirge Bush” for Laura Bush. She uses it because her husband doesn’t have a British peerage title. If he was a Baron/Viscount/Earl/Marquis/Duke she’d be “Lady Marie,” but everyone would call her…

I’m really struggling to understand this. In order to protect your state from climate change you need to hasten its effects by continuing to drill that which drives it?

They have a complex house name (Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg) that is generally shortened to just Glücksberg. They do not consider this a last name.
