The biggest issue I take with Brit and Kara Brown is that they are unwittingly embracing a narrative utilized by unsympathetic whites to marginalize the empathy of whites who are sympathetic to the cause of equality: That they care more for their own selfish gratification than they do about achieving the dream…

Good to know that I can't be genuinely empathetic with others without having some asshole assume that I'm doing it for my own personal gratification.

I had one of those (the upright pets vac) break within the first few months. Like you said hit or miss. It seems like everything is made with planned obsolescence in mind, so throwing that much money at a vacuum that may or may not work properly isn't worth it.

This. Use them all the time at work with a small vac with a 2.5 inch hose. The 1 1/4 would work just as well. Doesn't work well for carpet obviously, but hardwoods/tile nothing beats it. Doesn't take much effort to blow the dust out of the filter either and get more life out of it.

Yup. That's the one. Shitty town with a shittier (literally, goose poo everywhere) lake.

WV. 70 mph on most highways and they won't pull you over unless you're doing 10 over*

"Now that you know the scary truth of Virginia's reckless driving law, what can you do about it in advance?"

"How can cops face criminals and bad guys, but balk in the face of even the mildest criticism when they totally fucked up?"

You mean a college QB who liked to scramble around and lob ducks to his monster of a receiver is a terrible NFL QB?

Anything?

I'll give him credit for immediately apologizing and referring to his comment as "mindless". At least he gets that he was being insensitive and inappropriate.

You are a goddamn national treasure.

'Recovering' chef here.

"I wanna meet the couple (and it has to be a couple) who share such an obsession with coffee that they need to drop two grand on a NASA-designed espresso spaceship that grinds every burr to a precise atomic measurement and heats up your coffee cup to a temperature that was calibrated using advanced fractals."

I get the same thing when I mention that I live in the north side (specifically traditionally white, but recently surprisingly diverse Troy Hill).

Everything 10 miles outside of the city is effectively "Pennsyltucky". The city itself is fairly tolerant (despite being largely segregated still as you mentioned), but head out into the burbs and people start becoming ignorant as fuck.

You miss the point. It doesn't matter if we have documentation that shows that the vast majority of police interactions are positive or devoid of negligence/malicious action on the part of the officer. That is how the police are supposed to conduct themselves with the public, and should be the majority. That the…

No they pretty much are generally shitbags. The local FOP will come out in droves to support these shitbags, making them shitbags by proxy due to the fact that they enable shitbaggery.

There exists just too much disparity in the schedules that are played, the results of those schedules, and the transitive property of who beat who or who lost to who to accommodate a playoff with just 4 teams.
