I worked at Johns Hopkins back in the day, and while speaking with the heading of something or other, he commented “oh, the local blacks don’t come here because they prefer voodoo healers.” I was like, “no they don’t come here because for years JH used them as medical test subjects with out their consent. Also, voodoo…

I just find it ridiculous that this stuff continues to get published. Especially since the nursing field is increasingly diverse with people from various ethnic backgrounds.

Some super religious people don’t trust Drs. A lot of anti vaxxers are super religious people. They believe in God and a shit ton of essential oils.

I hate to say it but the culture section of any nursing textbook that tries to go into the subject is often full of racist and stereotypical garbage. I would argue about test questions that contained things I knew to either be false or not true across the board. I had a textbook that claimed that African Americans…

“California” pays no federal income taxes (although I’m sure they pay some duties or fees). Income taxes are taxed by person, not by state.

Funny how it’s “State’s Rights!” this and “States’ Rights!” that... Until they need the states to fund the federal government. Then, it’s all, “Thank you, California, New York, and Washington for your sweet, sweet, Liberal money.”

The 16th Amendment: The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration.

Someone claimed she slept with someone at Kotaku for a good game review, as I recall. Then the Sarkeesian haters jumped on since her criticisms (which I personally feel are either homerun or strikeout, depending on the instance, she has a poor batting average) make them feel threatened which is "unethical" apparently.

One of said guys was a games journo, although he never reviewed her game, and had only mentioned it (and her) in passing on two occasions prior to them (briefly) becoming an item, after that he didn't mentioned her or her game at all. In short, he acted in a perfectly exemplary ethical fashion. But people just lied…

Yeah. It's supposed to be an insult about people who are always looking to jump on something even when it's nothing—a pal of mine on tumblr once reblogged their really shit piece about how 'you can't put a woman in a game at all because something about her will be "wrong" (too pretty, too ugly, can't be evil, can't be…

can we talk about how amazing, in general, the cracked writers are? commentariat? nah. the writers? VERY smart, VERY funny and VERY kind, both in their writing and their online communications with fans, etc. i am vv friendly with a writer and he is such a dream of a person- eleoquent, open minded, a stanch feminist,…

She had a relationship with one of Kotaku's writers. The whole thing was started by one of her ex's who was angry about her new relationship and alleged that she got free press from the relationship. The Kotaku writer in question never reviewed any of her games nor published any articles about her games. He's also…

The "problem" is that indie game developers are sometimes friends with the bloggers who review their games, so the reviews might be biased.

I guess cause...getting your game published by sleeping with someone isn't very ethical?

Thank you! I knew it was Social Justice something....

"Social Justice Warrior", or, to gamergaters, anyone who dares bring up the fact that inequality exists, sexism and racism exist, rape exists, the world isn't only made up of pimply basement dwellers that are obsessed with video games...
