HOW DO YOU DO FELLOW HUMANS?

Google is a shit company whose real business is selling their ostensible customers’ data.

“Pencil whip”, I know you’re legit ;-)

I took Airborne training at Ft. Benning in ‘93. One of they guys in my company had a “cigar roll” failure on a jump. Thankfully the combination of the training and his presence of mind allowed him to deploy his reserve and ride it down safely.

Wow. Will and Jada would seem to have some excellent genes, but damned if they can make a baby with a neck that can hold his or her head properly.

A fair point. But if we sit around and watch people be abused out of fear, then we have already lost.

This is a fair point. I am white and I do recognize that intervening in this way is less likely to cost me something than it is for a PoC.

Yes!

Intervening in a wrong is always going to carry some risk. Each person has to decide what level of risk they’re willing to accept.

I can’t speak to other branches of service, and I don’t know what the policy is now, but the Army wasn’t taking anyone over 35 when I was in the service.

I’m in my forties and until last year had a pile of Cosby stand-up albums on vinyl. Hand-me-downs from both of my parents who independently collected them before meeting each other.

I might accept that if the same author hadn’t said the same nonsense in a different article yesterday . . .
