Correcting someone on usage of a word isn’t ‘mansplaining’. Unless you women are all guilty of ‘mansplaining’ every time you say “it’s not foundation, it’s concealer”.

I live in Australia now and it’s true — when you see the ‘right vs left’ debate in a first world nation that isn’t USA, it makes you realize just how far to the right our ‘left’ really is. On issues of healthcare, education, civic infrastructure, even foreign policy / military, the Auzzies, Brits, Canadians, Europe,…

Haha, well if it’s in regular usage for your family then that’s legit. My bad.

Perhaps you could increase the number of cars (or stairways, or beds, or bathtubs, or whatever) in your own possession to serve people with disabilities. I’m sure there are innumerable ways!

Hate to burst your bubble, but it’s not your ‘civil right’ to require everyone else to purchase a wheelchair lift-equipped vehicle, any more than it’s my ‘civil right’ to require everyone on AirBnB to install a wheelchair lift next to their guest room futon.

Civil rights laws do not require every privately owned vehicle to be equipped with a wheelchair lift any more than they require late night night Chinese takeout places to provide a vegan, gluten-free menu with Halal / Kosher options.

A ceramic non-stick stainless skillet works in the oven / on the stove, is durable and scratch resistant, can be washed with soap and a scrubber, and can be found in the same price ranges as cast iron or stainless skillets. No salt paste, no seasoning, and non flaking / scratching like synthetic nonstick surfaces…

And he’s well-endowed. Probably excellent at Spades, too.

My old DM from the states made his own website with character / item tracking, forums, wiki pages, and custom rules / item properties. It supports distinct gaming groups with their own forums, administrators and permissions. So far it’s just a ‘friends and family’ kind of thing but it’s amazing. I always wondered why…

What is it with Kinja people saying “hon” and “oh, honey”? It’s condescending at best, cultural appropriation AND condescending more likely. You are not all wise old black grandmothers counseling a naive young relative. Stop acting like that anytime someone expresses an opinion you don’t share.

Democratic describes the democratic process, or the state of being a democracy. Democrat describes the Democratic party. Everyone here seems to grasp that except for you. You’re doggedly insisting FireroseNekowolf is some sort of closeted Right-winger, even though this is an article written by a left-winger about the…

You’re crazy, and if anyone is trolling, it’s you.

I didn’t vote for HC in 2008, for the same reasons (only less strongly) that I didn’t vote for her in 2016. Hundreds of thousands - millions, most likely - are in the same boat. Keep plugging your ears and shutting your eyes in the face of reality if you wish. Trump 2020 sounds pretty likely.

Ahh, so you’re coming from a sexist / racist standpoint. That explains your aversion to numbers and your disregard for appeals to reason.

I know more than a few people who would have voted for Bernie in FL, yes. It’s my belief that a Bernie Sanders democratic campaign would have done drastically better than the Hillary Clinton campaign. FL already suffers because of the leadership of establishment cronies. FL already has an Attorney General who was…

Holy shit, PREACH. This is the best, most concise summary of this whole thing I’ve read so far, period. I’m going to save the link to this comment and send my friends who, as you so aptly put it, resort to throwing shit at liberals who dared to be critical of the status quo.

In my opinion, this nation is among the very top for ‘Enemy of Human Progress’. USA should be treating them the same as N. Korea — no diplomatic relations and economic sanctions to punish them for their abysmal stance on human / women’s rights. The fact that Americans are expected to tolerate an alliance (and arms…

You don’t have to stay silent; just don’t use a story about a woman getting murdered to spout divisive, racist garbage. Everyone should get behind the dismantling of institutionalized racism and demilitarization of our police. We don’t need your bullshit. Kay?

Yes. It’s a legitimate way to frame the issue, as both sides use the term. Colored people, people of color, white / non-white, etc. I sense you probably prefer to focus on white vs. black specifically but again I’d say there is a broader issue that needs to be resolved, and exceedingly narrow, cynical, and resentful…

I’ve had to call the cops twice. Once, to Baker Act a suicidal relative. The cops insulted my relative, insulted me, and ransacked my house. Thanks, cops. The second time, after I was mugged. The cop insulted me and refused to do his job, telling me I should go get the security camera footage (they wouldn’t give it to…
