IANAL, but only requiring gender docs for trans sounds like a clear case of discrimination. I wish people would just get over this crap. 

So, I’m confused. Where exactly does Tolkien equate dark skin with evil? The only description you provide of an evil creature (orcs) in Tolkien’s stories is “sallow-skinned.” You do know that ‘sallow’ is “greyish greenish yellow that is paler than the color hay?” Perhaps you are confused with the portrayal of Uruk-hai…

Psychological exams should be developed for police candidates. Also, the profession should be held to higher standards, require certification, and training equivalent to a bachelor’s degree with curriculum including psychology, sociology, history, and law.

“Racism aside....”

I agree the policy is uncalled for; hair styles should be entirely up to the person from whose head it grows, outside of the military and for safety. However, this is a private school, and they have the right to set their policies as they wish as long as they don't contravene law.

Agree. Nothing wrong with the Vibe. We bought an ‘05 Vibe with ~70K miles on it for my father-in-law. Only real problem with it was it’s shitty paint, and the buttons on the radio lost their coating. Zero problems mechanically until he got rear-ended and it was totaled. My son was sad ‘cause he was about to turn 16…

Agree. From my experience, cleaning, making lawn presentable, and conservative painting are the main improvements to consider. (no, not a Confederate battle flag, conservative color scheme, think not neon. 🤡) I think people way overestimate their taste and ability to attract buyers.

I’m not making others suffer for my comfort. Your logic is flawed.

In other breaking news, water is wet....

You’re really asking for a big sacrifice here. Though born in CA, I was forcibly transplanted to OK at the tender age of four, and wasn’t able to permanently escape back to CA until I was 29. This afforded me plenty of experience with AR, TX, KS, MS, and LA. These just aren’t states I’d encourage anyone to move to,…

Anything social that Thiel supports is likely a dumpster fire. I can't wait for he and Musk to announce their marriage and imminent departure for Mars. 

Totally agree. This is even worse than Ronnie Mack’s family suing George Harrison over “My Sweet Lord” vs “She’s So Fine." Both Swift and Harrison are skilled, well-regarded lyricists who wouldn't risk their reputations and careers. Fuck the leeches. 

I wasn’t suggesting they discuss the case in any way. Simply have a news conference explaining to the uninformed the _process_ that results in a search warrant. ie all the steps entailed in obtaining a warrant, and the inherent protections afforded denizens of the US against frivolous and political use of the DoJ (Yes,…

Totally agree. Due to who/what he is I think the DoJ should have had a simultaneous press conference to explain the process that led to this. Not that it’ll calm down his fanbois, nor does Trump deserve it, but getting out in front of what is sure to be a shit-show shows competency and understanding of the situation.

OK, Herschel, you obviously care what I think because you posted and replied. Multiple times. 😅🤣😂

You are such an angry, thin-skinned child. I would bet you don’t even know the history and origin of the word “racism.” At risk of being pedantic, let me help insure this is not the case. The word “racism” is credited by the OED as first used in print by Richard Henry Pratt in 1902. In 1902, the word “racism” had no…

Don’t even bother responding to someone who would use such an overgeneralization. It's apparent by their demeanor that they aren't open to rational discussion of their bigoted opinion. Save your energy for a discussion that might bear fruit. 

Racism has no power dynamic requirement. I have observed an attempt to change its definition to require a power dynamic/imbalance, but that definition is not a first order meaning.
