I normally enjoy reading Angry Asian Man, but I don't feel like he understood who the butt of the joke of that poem is supposed to be. When I first read that poem I was 95% certain it was mocking the practice of white urbanites/hipster/foodie types Columbusing ethnic cuisines to feel culturally superior. I feel like…

There is no such thing as “complementary medicine”. There is Medicine and there is Bullshit. If “complementary medicine” had any basis at all in scientific fact, it would be called “medicine”.

So, no, Naturopaths remain snake oil salesmen of the highest order.

Naturopaths shouldn’t be allowed to treat anyone no matter what their age.

Let me find my violin real quick. This is my favorite song.

It makes sense for him to pass the whip and fedora on to his son:

To be fair I do think his point was that Italian explorers went to work for Spain (and Portugal too) because “Italy” didn’t hire them. Like, in his imagination, there are all these explorers hanging around but the “Italian” government cares more about cathedrals and won’t pay them. So he knew the first part.

She should have been considered to have served 40 years already, since having to live with that kind of abuse is it’s own prison.

Uhm, except Osteopaths are a VERY specific thing, not a loose term, and I’d be careful labeling Osteopaths, as a group, as charlatans. The Non-Charlatan versions of them, notably the AOA (https://www.osteopathic.org/) and all the legitimate D.O.’s in the world would also.

My dad had a bunch of Bob Newhart’s LPs and I used to listen to them on our giant console stereo that could hold three bodies comfortably (shut up, I know I’m old). Pure, perfect comedy.

Bob Newhart is a national treasure that millennials will never understand.

This isn’t strictly a left vs. right issue. After all, it’s Obama’s DOJ (and Obama himself) pressing this issue. The fact is that the political establishment as a whole would love to infringe on our privacy like this. Both Bush and Obama oversaw the modern domestic surveillance regime. We have to push back against…

So, you lead with a misleading image of a road (infrastructure!), but the article itself has nothing to do with roads and they aren’t implicated in the findings. Fish farms and levees are the causes, but you don’t discuss the mechanisms or even show images?

What IS “paternalistic” is to assume that a woman is unable to make her own decisions or to understand a contract to which she agreed, or that she is unable to be responsible if she decides to terminate the contract.

I agree with you. I don’t agree with what the DOJ or FBI (or any government entity) is doing in this case. And this is coming from someone who works in both law enforcement and works with military intelligence occasionally. Apple must not give in this fight, it’s too important in the future of technology/data…

Every other outlet was more than happy, for business reasons, to announce that the anti-Beyoncé rally was real, and happening, and preposterous. Any more preposterous than the hordes of reporters standing out in the rain right now waiting for phantom reactionaries?

And for people who are too young, she faced a firestorm for having come out; people demanded she be fired, certain radio hosts called her “Ellen Degenerate” and considered themselves fiendishly clever, and she was basically shunned by craven networks who feared losing their audiences.

Yeah, that Blaziken hair... I did appreciate the stars & stripes shoes though.

A production group called Bad Wolf creating a TV series based on books by a person named Harkness.
