Unfortunately, articles about rape are far more likely to get views than articles about drug specifics. I can see the prosecutors opting not to focus on the specific drug or even to bring it up in order to avoid getting the jury bogged down with parsing out the type of drug and trying to understand how/why Cosby was…

I’m sure some folks are having an absolute shit fit over this. It makes sense, though, in terms of adding more customers for Amazon and actually can help older folks (many of whom receive SNAP benefits/Medical Assistance), the disabled, people with babies/little kids, people in food deserts and people who don’t have…

I do some of my grocery shopping using Amazon Prime Now and it’s pretty convenient for basics especially if I don’t feel like running around or don’t want to end up with a bunch of impulse buys. I can see older people, disabled people, and people with small kids especially using the service. If you live in area with…

And yet people will still line up to defend Cosby. All of his victims will be called whores and gold diggers, and liars just out to ruin a great black man. They’ll ask ‘why didn’t she say something?’ and ‘why was she even there?’ ‘Why did she take that pill? I wouldn’t have taken a pill. She must have wanted something…

It won’t. That’s the problem with modern terrorists groups. You don’t have to travel to become radicalized, you just have to have internet access. And it won’t be by going to the ISIL recruitment page, it will by going down the rabbit hole of more and more extremist materials. Technology, especially social media and…

A lot of people don’t get that. That’s why people support things like travel bans, registries, and all manner of security theater and violation of people’s rights. It gives the illusion of safety and the satisfaction of ‘striking back’. Unfortunately, all it really does is help the terrorists’ cause. Not only does it…

I’m sorry for your loss. This past Mother’s Day was the first without my mom and it was hard. I didn’t want to be around people so I kind of cocooned at home. I ate some of her favorite foods, dressed by Barbie dolls (we both collected them) and, unfortunately, went through most of my flask of Crown Royal. I don’t…

Congrats on your success! I’m just getting back into working out seriously after dealing with a huge bout of depression and anxiety. I keep myself motivated by focusing on strength and functional fitness rather than the scale. I like knowing that I can do 20 pushups now instead of 5 or go twice around twice around the…

The last I saw of Fergie was in an Avon catalog. I figured they had broken up.

Unfortunately too many people have used female/females in ways that are derogatory, dismissive, or objectifying. “Females need to get it together if they want to get a good man” “I don’t trust females” “You females don’t know what you want” . All of those sentences would be terrible even if I replaced females with…

An indifferent fuck up that fellow officers likely covered up for. People like this don’t happen in a vacuum and it’s never a one time thing. This is what pisses me off about the one bad apple surrounded by a lot of good apples. Cops who stand by while one of their own escalates to the point of killing someone aren’t…

While wearing simple homespun dresses and sensible shoes. Except for Sunday when they break out the colorful suits and giant hats for church. They’re grandma names - no offense to anyone with an old timey name.

Being prudent would be not getting behind the wheel at all. Opiates normally take about half an hour to fully kick in but different people react differently. Also, by the time the medication does start to kick in, your decision making ability may be impaired enough to think that you can make it home instead of pulling…

Unusual, I mean. Damn Kinja

I have an usual name thanks to my father. Apparently my mom wanted to go the old school name route so I would have been ‘Pearl’. I don’t know why since we don’t have any other Pearls in the family but my mom liked it. Dad wasn’t too keen on it and I ended up named after someone he met while he was in the merchant…

Baltimore is pretty cash strapped and, as much as I might hate to say it, the influx of money from the ‘collectors’ who would bid on these statues could be used for a variety of things to improve the city. It likely won’t be but that’s a whole other issue. If some racist asshole wants to bid on a statue and therefore…
