I have a friend who trained with them for a few months then worked in several locations in the Caribbean and US. These people are no joke. Most of the training is about building a dossier of information that amounts to probable cause for police to get a warrant to raid "massage parlors" and other fronts for sex…

Beyond the fact that most of those people are considered white now, outcomes and privilege are not synonymous. That shouldn't be a hard concept.

Being able to shrug at one's own privileged position in life must be the best example of privilege.

The middle of what? Do you think Stewart and others are actually arguing that white privilege is as great today as it was 50 years ago or 100 or 200? Or are they simply asserting that it still exists and has real impacts on life outcomes?

Well....true.

1. There is a very good chance she didn't know the date of the hearing when she signed on to represent the client. There are often multiple hearings in a case, and the dates can be set just a few weeks in advance.

I seriously think I may have sat a couple seats away from shirtless bro at the 49ers/Packers season opener in 2013. He was with a group of guys who had gone to college together and had recently graduated. All Packers fans, visiting a friend with a job at Google. He almost got ejected from that game.

I'm of the brunch class, and you really do have it nailed. Sometimes I do the super boozy, drunk all day brunch, but that is a handful of times a year. Most of the rest of the time it is catching up with my friends who are too busy for much of anything else. A significant number of times we both go into the office…

Serious question: as a Giants fan, just how smug to I get to be out beating St Louis? They are inviting it, but their lives already suck so hard, is it just mean?

Holy shit, this needs out of the grays. Note that not a single thing in there was an expression of empathy, it was all about his "success" rate.

I'm not calling anyone out, its really well done, but I just have to believe this is fake. At least so I can continue to exist in this world, I must believe it is fake.

Those two paragraphs are so depressing. This woman actually used the word "convincing" when I truly hope she meant attracting or romancing or wooing. Just think about that. Remembering that this was written by a person with real life experience, that is just so sad.

Pretty powerful statement and sound marital advice. I've been convinced that regular, fulfilling sex papers over a lot of the small and constant chafing that exists in any marriage. You're just never going to fix all of your problems and cease annoying each other sometimes. Sex gives you the chance to reconnect and…

But the operating system isn't working! And little Mikale Jame$'s new girlfriend Brittknee sounds so nice!

I think it is especially troubling to see the argument "just make good stuff" in children's entertainment. Even if we accept for argument's sake that white creators and products are better entertainment, don't most of us think that children's entertainment strives (or should) to do more than just entertain?…

No one disagrees with that point. They are objecting to you being an asshole* about making a wholly obvious, uncontroversial point.

Hilarious.

It isn't always obvious or even noticeable that someone's capacity has diminished to this point. Further, a lot of people just aren't that sophisticated to consider such a legal plan. I'm glad your family seems to be doing a good job protecting its members, but what's up with the callousness towards others?

This is just conjecture on my part, but I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that older people may not be as comfortable and savvy with the modern world. By the time we are all old our grandchildren might be running around with iBrain and we'll rush to their aid when they tell us their operating system needs a…

I know, I KNOW. My need for sleep is problematic. And I fear that 5 hours may lead me to being just a tiny bit attractive to boners.
