Huh, thanks for sharing.

Thank you for sharing. It's always good when parents push their kids because of course they don't want their kids to struggle but sometimes when they go 'tiger' mom or dad the cub just can't take it. You should want your kids to be happy, independent individuals and that means you might end up with a mechanic. Which…

That's horrifying about your cousin, I'm sorry. Is your family first or second generation Americans? I ask b/c I'm first generation American and basically that's how we were raised - excel in school to the exclusion of becoming a well-rounded human being. We didn't really have outside friends, I was taking college…

I have a question about facial threading, why is it done? No judgement, actual curiosity. I've had my eyebrows threaded and sometimes the ladies will ask me if I want to do my entire face and I say, "no, why?" and they won't give me a reason. I'd understand if I was fair and had dark hair, but I'm regular ol…

My folks mostly just wanted pictures of me with that cap and gown on. So I'd order the regalia let them snap pics of me and my friends around campus and take the fam out to eat. Beat that post-ceremony dinner crowd. My Nigerian parents don't want to hear someone struggle to butcher my first name (even though that same…

How does that work for POC practically? A kid in MI was defending his home and now he's awaiting trial: http://www.theroot.com/detr…
I'm just happy that the cops didn't kill him or his family and if not for a reasonable judge, he'd be sitting in jail right now. If a cop is violating my civil rights the best I can do at…

If someone has a stalker, is high profile, or otherwise felt they would need to defend themselves (handled large amounts of cash/valuables etc reg.) AND can hit a target they intend to hit they should apply for a CC permit. But I truly don't see the purpose of living life armed and personally wouldn't feel comfortable…

and I don't care how good of a shot people think they are, once that adrenaline kicks in there's no telling what happens. It's hard enough to making sure the police don't put extra holes in you…

Civilians aren't even allowed to carry tasers. I'm surprised we're allowed to have mace.

Agree. I have nothing against having a gun in your home if that's your thing but everyone carrying everywhere just in case? Nah, especially in an overpopulated place like NYC. If a gun goes off in mid-town it's dangerous to everyone. The buildings echo people so will be running in in all directions and into the…

Body cams work in that when the footage is preserved and made available, yt ppl can't act like this isn't a thing we've been consistently saying is happening. Honestly, the only way things are going to change is when they have to confront it head on and can't deny it or make excuses for it. When you say, I can't stay…

If google glasses had became a real thing, like inconspicuous glasses that could record encounters on demand and upload them to the cloud, I would have bought pairs for me and my two 6ft+ baby brothers. If I had a penny for every creepy encounter I've had with the police or 'authority figures' in general.

They aren't mad b/c the police don't shoot everybody, they shoot black bodies. I'd bet my next two paychecks that if this was a car full of yt kids leaving a yt party 1) not one cop would have fired a f*cking shot even if 'they thought they heard gunfire as a car was 'backing up aggressively'" 2) if someone did get…

I reeeeally hate respectability politics. I hate that my hair is considered unprofessional, I hate that certain vernacular is considered uneducated, and I haaaate that I have to ask myself "if I get assaulted wearing this, will the police say it's my fault?" BUT I think the reasoning behind labeling a person murdered…

I feel like the only person responsible for this nonsense is the tech bro. If I had to guess Ja Rule pulled a Cheetolini and lent his name and image to be used. There is no way on God's green earth that I am willing to believe that he had a clue about or a hand in the actual putting together of this ish-show. I…

Haha, when it starts to look reeeeally bad, that's my sign to update linkedin, my resume, send out some "let's get drinks soon" network emails. I guess I've been lucky and haven't had to abandon ship without a life vest.

Who was she supposed to tell? If there's even a 1% chance that it could have worked itself out, she'd look like an a s s if it did come together at the last second.

singing like a mothaf** mockingjay

Nope b/c Chloe looks like she quit w/o having another job lined up. We usually do not do that.

Did anyone else read the NyMag article he linked to? Raise your hand if you've ever been put in that chick's position at work. Like, you're the only one trying to tell mgmt that ish isn't going to work and they're ignoring you until it's too late and everything implodes. Then you have to make sure your name isn't on…
