“one of the great things about the days we live in is that a person can chose virtually any identity that they want.”

True, but in my experience we never had corporate cards. Everyone used their own cards and filled out expense reports for reimbursement. You really don’t know their intention until something happens.

I was in financial technology before I retired. Biz dinners are always expensed to the company. You just act like you would if a woman boss took you out. If he gets out of line make it obvious you’re not interested. I’m not sure what I would do if it got really unprofessional, because even though I made good money,…

Since men have business dinners one-on-one, it’s essential for women to do it too. I have many times and not been harrassed.

Yes! And she was in one of my favorite movies in the 80s, My Science Project..I think that’s the name. John Lithgow was in it. The main character makes a plutonium bomb for his science class.

Anyone else always wondered if SJP required Cynthia Nixon always have shitty haircuts during that show? Nixon is absolutely gorgeous and it always seemed suspicious.

I read the linked article, written by Lin, not open to comments. Yet he asked:

Yeah, and that would be an illegal conflict of interest. Can’t have two family members as opposing counsel. Negates the constitutional right to a fair trial. But keep shouting it to everyone anyway.

How do we know the future leaders didn’t banish him to a time their records show he would best fit in with society?

I apologize for stating the numbers incorrectly. But 50 10mg Valiums in 52 weeks is not chronic abuse, yet you point out “It is also worth noting that chronic abuse of diazepam can lead to aggressive behavior.” Why add that and base a lot of your assumptions in the article on it if there is no actual evidence of…

Except that Lisa Bloom, his attorney, is Gloria’s daughter.

I doubt it, in almost every case. Most white people don’t think they are racist, and if they admit it, it’s followed by a stupid “but...” and something like “everyone is racist.” Do they consciously know that deep in their hearts it all comes from their views of PoC? I don’t think they care enough to look that deeply…

Absolutely. In its worst it’s probably a slave-era allegory for racists to imagine owning and trading players. You definitely hear from some the disdain for player salaries, or the comments about how players would be in jail if it weren’t for the sports org paying them. As racist as a person wants to be, they will…

Two prescriptions of 10 pills over 1-2 years isn’t evidence of anything. I get that you point out chronic use can lead to aggression, but 20 pills in that time period is not chronic use. You are painting a picture that people should be ashamed to take medication designed to make them feel normal and healthy. This…

I’m just gonna reply to myself, because I didn’t realize my last reply to this troll ungreyed him. But to answer them, the rampage in Norway isn’t on the fucking list because it happened in Norway. You retyped the headline yourself. And, seriously...you really wanna dip into Norway to argue against the obvious facts…

Every white person I know who prefers college over pro, any sport, it’s because they are habitual gamblers.

GTFO with that. ALL of these stories check out. They all happened, as described. Every mass murder.

The details are just about as gross as the actual picture. If it had gone well, she would have had one eye with the white part permanently lavender. But since her boyfriend was drunk, lied about doing it before, performed the tat in her kitchen, went too deep with the needles, didn’t dilute the ink with saline...and…

To The Root and Michael Harriot, I want to say thank you. You keep teaching me things I should already know. I keep coming back and learning. Thank you all.

And here I thought that chick who let her drunk boyfriend tattoo her eyeball into blindness was the dumbest white shit this week. I continue to be amazed and the audacity of my white brethren. Ashamed is a better word.
