is he really that recongnizable? he looks like every tech industry guy ever.

Did you read the article? It’s a question of whether or not her claim is legitimate, not whether or not being persecuted for being gay is a valid reason for seeking asylum.

The players are getting paid—in a free education and many other perks that most other students don’t receive simply because they can’t play a fucking game. If people want the players to get paid like employees, then treat them like employees. They don’t get to have both a highly paid employeee contract, AND free…

Everyone gets worked up about working conditions but the common thread here is illegal immigration and the ability to exploit these workers out of fear of being sent back home. Hell, even LEGAL immigration impacts this as software companies know they can work the hell out of H1B visa workers as long as they hold the…

I was kinda more pissed at the White liberals who immediately denounced the entire moment and basically “stay in your line”-d black people. Bernie Sanders hired a woman called Symone Sanders two weeks before the event - a black woman - and made racial equality a part of his main platform.

Wait. Before you ‘flimsy’, let’s fact check.

I’m tired of the pseudo-intellectual identity politics bullshit. You are an idiot if you think being a women or a person of color is more important than where you stand on the issues. BTW he is Jewish is a country with a history of anti-semitism. But go ahead vote for Hillary, just like you voted for Obama. Out…

crunching the numbers because i dig this kind of stuff. If 71 officers have been killed this year, in August, then assuming the rate continues about 95 total can be expected to have died in 2015. There are about 461,000 active duty police officers in the US, giving each officer an average of .02% chance of being…

Because what I’m saying is that it doesn’t have to be a different reality. Racism can’t be solved overnight, but police officers could try to not treat the people they’re tasked to protect as military targets, and it would be a positive result for all, even if society as a whole is still racist.

It’s human nature, indeed, animal nature, to survive.

Hey Kara, I just wanted to share this link in response to “the police have a dangerous job” argument. A grand total of 71 officers have died in 2015, with gunfire accounting for 26.7% of deaths. So yes, their jobs can be dangerous, but it seems like being a civilian is far more so.

Are periods that big of a deal that they make somebody a badass for doing regular things?

But way more calves are taken away from their mothers taken away every day. So why would this be the priority?

Are you kidding me? The war for political correctness has been won by people who have way to much time on their hands. There are toys for boys and toys for girls. Why is that such a big deal?

None of those are felonies. None of those involve property damage. None of those involve blasting your car through a business. Get off it.

we are the only developed country without voter ID laws, but yeah, we should totally just not do it. The same way we don’t do gun control or have socialized medicine or any other thing every good country has. Not doing everything that has been proven to work in developed countries is why America has been a shit hole…

There is a great Wikipedia article describing the Electoral College system and why it was put in place. I suggest you start there. That’s the long answer, but it will be good for your soul to iron out how electing the president works in this country. The short answer is “The Supreme Court was worried that the country…

Agree. If you want to admire someone and aspire to be like them pick someone who has a bit more substance. Like I said, I’m sure she’s nice enough but I think I want more for myself. Plus, I have horrible stage fright.

What kind of world is that that people want to be Beyonce and not, let’s say, Judy Blume, Toni Morisson or Carol Greider. We’re doomed!

“ You can’t help but cock your head to the side and wonder if there really is something to all of this.”
