The worst part is, I think the reason the little girl was sitting right on the edge of the dock with her back turned is because her relatives told her to pose there so they can take pictures (that’s what it seemed like from the video). Prior to that the girl was standing and just looking over the edge. So for all…

“Hate has no place in America.”

It’s good to remember, too, that even if the animal does not mean to do you harm, a wild animal, even when it’s just being playful or investigating something in its surroundings, can still harm a person accidentally (in this case, I think the sea lion’s eye was caught by the highly sun-reflective, white back of the…

What gets to me is, it doesn’t really matter if it’s playful or not. After every encounter like this—the gorilla dragging the little boy in the zoo, the Siegfried and Roy tiger attack, the orca at Sea World—there’s always a debate about whether the animal was playing or trying to help or got scared or was attacking…

Yep. Disney has a lot to answer for with regards to anthropomorphizing wild animals. We get a HUGE volume of tourists from Hong Kong and China in Vancouver. There seems to be a lack of awareness about large mammals and their danger. There are signs all over Steveston docks warning people not to feed any animals.…

There are signs ALL OVER the docks in Steveston telling people not to feed the animals. The harbour master is actually super livid with these people. Not only was there a potential for this little girl to be killed or seriously injured, but the sea lion is also at risk if it returns and shows an eagerness to pluck…

Predators will fuck you up every time, even if they look cute.

Glad everyone’s okay. Do not feed wild animals, especially ones that weigh three times as much as you do.

And many people in these comments are still disregarding the hurtful premise of using the death of black people to rehash the election. Nice to know that people have no problem to use black lives and deaths as props in order to prove a point in a verbal spat.

The self help on “how to do marriage” is unfortunately monopolized by “how to keep up appearances as perfect Christians” propaganda. It also seems like a lot of the authors end up getting divorced too. I like some of the marriage counseling books on how to communicate and argue, but it takes both people to work on…

A group of women in a small village in India’s Assam province advise Piazza to maintain reasonable expectations for marital bliss and to incorporate a practice of gratitude in her daily life

There’s also this pervasive notion that compromise = settling. If you have to modify one behavior, or that if your partner can’t modify something about them, then you’re settling for the less than. She won’t look hot for me? I’m not settling! He’s perfect except that he won’t participate in my interests? Settling!

It’s pointing out how the lives of Black people don’t mean much for certain white liberals except as a jump off to make a political point.

If the teachers and administration are concerned with eliminating harmful distractions, perhaps they can begin by addressing the teachers and administration who obsess over hair instead of obsessing over academics. I would imagine being hassled by my teacher and being sent to the vice principle’s office over nothing…

“Distracted” is code for what they really want to blurt out, which is, “that shit is ugly, why am I, a precious white person, being forced to look at it?” I think the sight of the particularly frizzy haired students touches on a fear that’s embedded in white people from young- the appearance that you’re not entirely…

Politically incorrect??!! Fuck that! I’m black and a practicing Catholic, I have used birth control, I’M PRO-CHOICE under the right circumstances AND PRO-DEATH PENALTY under the right circumstances! And I think God will still let me in heaven because I live my life RIGHT.

Wow. Of all the lame “feminist” justifications for stripping, “If men are gonna objectify women, it’s only right that women demand to be paid for it” is the lamest. Write your book, give good advice to your fellow strippers, stay safe and healthy, express yourself. But you can’t participate in the objectification…

I particularly like his repeatedly referring to her as “Texting Floozy.” I’m guessing we’re about a day away from seeing the “Nice Guys Can’t Get a Date Cuz Bitches Only Date Jerks and Won’t Blow Me on Command” manifesto he posted on an MRA subreddit.

I’m with you they’re both shitty people
