That definitely sounds like something that might be glossed over for the sake of “teen audience appeal,” considering how eager fans were to embrace Snape as a Good Guy. Speaking of which, he had more than a little bit of Nice Guy Syndrome going on, eh? Ironically, of course, since he wasn’t ever actually “nice,” but…

Maybe sex workers but even then it seems a lot of these guys are proud (of what no one knows) and don’t want to lose their unvaluable virginity to a sex worker.

I understand the point, but is she a woman? That’s the line for me. If she’s a woman who happens to produce more testosterone, is that her fault? Isn’t the point of competition to see who’s the best? Is forcing her to take BC to change her natural body fair to the spirit of competition?

This is the correct answer. So she has a genetic advantage. Sure. So she’s in the right profession, yes? Women have testosterone- she has higher levels than normally allotted to women. I’m sure there are some men who have higher t than men normally have as well. We just don’t test for it. Lots of things go into…

It’s not difficult to understand why: Our phones give us the false notion we are connected to the world. We spend our day documenting what we do to show “friends and family,” an abstract community that can also include co-workers or even strangers.

When a 737 experiences an engine failure the auto-throttles and yaw dampener are disabled, so there is less automation in play, not more.

On the plane I fly when a major malfunction occurs we disengage the autopilot, regain control of the aircraft run any drills and then and only then do we consider engaging the autopilot again.

The only things at all advanced about us are our posture, our thumbs, and our brains. We’re special in that we are one of the very few 100% fully bipedal species, so we can stand above savanna grass really well, and we can jog forever if we actually do it habitually. (We’re one of the best endurance runners of the…

Well to be clear, I’m not arguing the mostly white crowd was not lit and overjoyed by the performance. I just don’t think that has anything with their cultural black knowledge, and everything to do with who Beyonce is and her power. I believe she said it best in her response: “She said, ‘I have worked very hard to get…

If you have never been to an HBCU homecoming, it was even more amazing if you were aware of them.

It seems like you could market this as preventing contamination of other kitchen surfaces, rather than being for people who are squeamish about touching meat...

Yeah because Trump was so careful about concealing what a horrible all around person he was before election and there was no way to foresee the catastrophe this has been.

Yeah, I mean, she could have called and said, “hey, remember when we shared a ride and we were talking about trolls, and you said this. I’ve been thinking about it a lot, and I remember you saying it like this. I’d like to use it in my book, in this context, but I want to make sure you’re okay with it and that I…

There’s a difference between a conversation and a quote. The irresponsibility here is mind-boggling - not just from an ethical standpoint but a CYA standpoint. I always record people whenever possible if I’m getting a quote. If I want a quote based on a conversation we had, I email them and specifically get it in…

No, he doesn’t have a point. Unless he’s living under a rock, he knows “awesome” has come to be used all the time as a word expressing someones approval of something, they dont literally mean they were overwhelmed with awe. He’s just being a cranky,old fashioned dick.

This is my hometown. This is not surprising to me, at all. Rochester Hills is mostly mid-level executives, and upper-middle class families, with good schools. All that Trump country reasoning for racism goes right out the window because I KNOW these motherfuckers, and they should know better. I’ve seen so much idle…

My point is access to the internet helps pick up the slack and it would be worse without it. Libby’s tone seemed to imply it is making it worse. It’s not enough, but it’s not making it worse.

This is CLEARLY an educational fail, and the same can be said for any sort of racial atrocities in American (or Euro-centric) history. The genocide of Native Americans is glossed over, slavery is glossed over and even taught as a two-sided issue (and people fight to distance the Civil War and the Confederacy from…

I wonder how many people know 20 million Native Americans were killed by the European invasion.

Can’t wait to live in a world run by internet-addled kids raised on algorithmic YouTube suggestions and memes, who know how to code but not what the Holocaust was. Gonna be great.
