I'd be interested to know what experience and statistics - hell, even anecdotes - you have to back up the idea that doing this specific exercise is necessary for engaging/killing enemy soldiers. Even if we're talking about them having to climb something that slants backwards so they can't get a foothold, the only…

You missed the point completely. Good job.

I think it's a good reason to re-evaluate the standards, why they have certain physical tests and whether they're actually helpful. It wasn't necessary before because basically all men passed the pullup part of the test, but when people start failing it, the question arises - is being able to do 3 pullups really…

Why did this article bring out the trolls?

Hitler also had a well-groomed moustache! Ron Swanson is a Nazi.

Blackface was actually banned in the 60s. But this year in the fancy brigades they had a "Polynesian Adventure" theme or something where dancers wore giant masks and dressed in long sleeves and pants the color of a Polynesian person, so like blackface but not. Wasn't impressed by that one.

I think if they're referring to the same thing, part of the reason you can tell it's appropriation and not just appreciation is the fact that they use the pop culture name for it, not the actual name.

Well, that can be part of daily tasks, so I don't think it's lost in the general scheme of things at all. For a week, instead of your work being "write", it's "read and revise".

1. You're being pedantic. Would you tell someone that said "that box is heavy because it's full of books, books are heavier than clothes" that they're wrong? It's very obvious that it was a reference to density, as anyone with mediocre intelligence would be able to figure out. Come on now, seriously?

1. How many people's height/weight measurements on their license are actually accurate? My boyfriend's weight matches his...when he got his first license at 16.

They'd also joke if you were white and your name was "Jane" or "Mary" because oh, haha, you must be so sweet and innocent.

I know it's much easier to scream "YOU HAVE NO SENSE OF HUMOR" at people that criticize those you adore, but it doesn't hold any merit on a logical level. Sorry! Try again next time.

You missed something here - you're assuming saying something racist implies "is racist". In our world that legitimatizes, encourages, and normalizes racism at every turn, everyone is entrenched in racist ideas. The mark of someone not being a racist is about them acknowledging the racist ideas they were raised with…

I love this game! I put it alongside my dinosaur dating sim and my pigeon dating sim.

I have been delayed for 2 hours now, making my total train trip (at the time of this writing) almost 22 hours. Someone stepped in front of my train and committed suicide. :( Three trains are waiting to let us go home, but the police have to clear the other train tracks for travel on first. I am very tired and very…

Well what I meant was that even though it's not the vagina proper, there should be some kind of orienting going on on that plain pink paper - based on the cutting up, maybe what they need isn't a vagina but a drawing of a butthole. You know, so we know wtf is going on.

I don't understand how a piece of paper with no hole is a vagina. I thought the paper would have a "canal" kind of hole before watching it, but...what is it supposed to be? What part of the vagina? I'm confused.

I was responding directly to:

I don't even like Sherlock but that doll is amazing. Stop hatin.
