But where’s the line? If I look at my phone on the subway, is it ok if someone punches me and steals it? What if I have issues with wi-fi and decide to go to a coffee to work a bit? Will it be ok if someone steals my laptop because I was using it in public? What about people with new cars? When does your empathy ends?

BTW, “giving all the profits” means that if they pay 1000 dollars for 100 shirts and then pay themselves 1000 for graphic design and 1000 for administrative costs and sell them for 32 dollars, “all the profits” would be 2 dollars per shirt. And that they could only have profits after selling shirt number 94.
So…

Yes! That sensitivity training is so necessary! Specially since, like other people have pointed out, it’s included in the tour. I recently went to Maasai Mara and that’s exactly what happened. I felt super awkward and obviously didn’t take pictures and stayed aside when some of that shit was happening, but it’s a…

He’s an overeducated man in his thirties who uses words (and rehearses them!) for a living and he’s just being mocked for his shitty speech. There’s no “jumping over anybody’s throat” and dude’s not a child who didn’t know how to talk properly. He fucked up and that’s all.

The idea that I could, or that we could provide, some relief and entertainment for people who work for Unicef and Médecins Sans Frontières and The World Food Programme who are fixing the world in the places where it was broken made me immensely proud.

Who’s that woman in the center?

I don’t know. If my racist uncle didn’t have something like Medicare, any member of his non-racist family would sell their house in order to help in in case of need. So those consequences are not only bad for him. And what about his kids, his wife?
I get what you say because I also argue all the time with people who…

It’s a weird way to teach empathy. So you were actually happy if other people would lose their Medicare/Social Security, but now that it’s you, you actually realize how awful that is? Good.
I still feel super bad for them. Nobody should go through that. :(

That’s not a good analogy. A proper one would be if you had already bought some random presents and then asked those same people to tell you what to do if your family didn’t like those presents and not changing anything at all after that, just kept explaining why thought they were good presents and wondering how to…

Even if what you say is true and all of them were in one way or another coerced to use it, how is banning burqas helping those women? The ban won’t help them take it out. I will force them to stay inside their homes and have no contact with other people and thus deny them a support system that would help them take…

Not really. He doesn’t start from cero and begins to form his cabinet then. There’s a lot of work that needs to be done before inauguration day.

Thanks. I feel that even though those kind of articles (Morocco) start being shared with the purpose of finding support for women (I’m not completely sure about that, but let’s pretend so), they end up being taken as proof that people “over there” are different and barbaric, and that women “here” with their anti-porn,…

It’s still a completely different kind of stare. As a WOC who has spent the last months in Poland, I can see it in their eyes from a distance if they’re curious about my hair or eyes in a nice way, or if they’re wondering what my bf is doing with a person like me. I can tell if their internal monologue is “nice…

LOL. I don’t think anybody implied interracial relationships were a uniquely racist white man fetish, but your way of denying it is hilarious.
So it cannot be a racist thing because poor asian women have shitty paid jobs where they physically pleasure mostly white men in Australia?

Really close, I’d translate it as “Mexicans, use these glasses to hide your swollen eyes tomorrow while you build the wall.” (The original wording is weird).

That’s terrible! I’m not from the US and am really far from there, and my partner doesn’t know much nor care about US politics, but by reading Polish media he had a positive idea of Trump and a really negative one of Hillary, to the point we had some big arguments about that. But today when he woke up and saw me (had…

Yes, I freak out every time I see a Tinder date from a different country, whose phone number I’ve already deleted appear there months after we met. :O

Google images tells me that Damon Tweedy, the author of that book, is a bald man who generally wears grey suits. So, how is it that dressing up like him required black paint, black clothes and an afro? She could learn from Kristen Wiig’s Michael Jordan costume.

Yes yes! Spanish is my first language and I spent some years living in two different Spanish-speaking countries that have different accents, words and phrases, and I do that thing you mentioned of saying local phrases in local tone! Also names of things like subway stations or even phrases associated to those like…

Weird how commenters could understand the complexities of war and refugee life in Afghanistan by looking at a cover picture when they were tweens, but somehow as forty year old adults are incapable of understanding the complexities of using the face of an adolescent girl with eyes that westerners consider particularly…
