It all comes down to the legal right to medical procedures. No matter how easy or fast the procedure is, everyone has the right to say no to any medical procedure done on their body. I imagine the procedure to dig into the vaginal wall to get to a fetus will not be easy on a woman at all, while an abortion is a pill.…

She agreed to create the embryos with the contract in place. If the man had said “no, I want the right to create your biological children regardless of how you feel, whenever,” she probably would not have made the embryos. If we’re going by what “sounds fair”, as it seems you are, is it fair to her for her to do…

I imagine that they cleaned the floors on which the celebrities would be walking on quite thoroughly, as they knew clothing would drag.

A Southern California friend once said “I’m from Southern California, so I really know Chinese food.” I was stunned. Wtf is with California?!

This is actually really common, both in language classes and outside. Language classes sometimes go the road of total immersion, the same way we learn our first language - after someone says “please pass the index cards” 3 times until you get it from context clues and pass the index cards, you probably remember it…

You don’t have to know the difference between pho and kimchi to know that Japan and China are different places. This is not specialized knowledge, dear.

There are multiple types of racism. Racism isn’t about the intent of the speaker, but the words said or actions done, so it’s entirely possible to be racist out of ignorance. Often the two are even linked. If you can make it to college without understanding that China and Japan are different places, then you are…

Unsurprisingly that a white person would argue that it’s the job of the marginalized minority to “educate people”, not the privileged majority to educate themselves.

Do you do this many backflips to justify it when random assaults on the street happen? No, only police officers?

According to the original article, they were getting closer and closer to her.

I just wouldn’t wear anything that I couldn’t easily replace for multiple reasons, one being chlorine. Or it breaking in a drain. Or being pulled off by a friend. Or the clasp coming loose and not noticing because it’s not as heavy in the water.

I love you.

The latter. :)

Probably because it’s latched to your head so it really doesn’t matter. If it’s a cheap, cute necklace (cheap because idk what pool water does to jewelry), it’s not like it’s going to come off so there’s no reason to take it off.

In addition to this, a lot of people think that if you ever have a racist thought or do something based on a racist assumption you’re a racist, and therefore if they admit to ever having any subconscious racism then they’re admitting they’re a big fat racist and everyone hates racists so they’re terrible people.

Yeah I agree that she was annoying. Frankly though, I don’t trust a cop that can’t control their impulses over a little annoying to be good cops. If you assault people and destroy their property when you’re annoyed, what if you’re dealing with a mentally ill person or any situation that requires you to not punch…

“The woman was actually in my face, blocking my view of the person we were trying to arrest. She was violent, unruly, and tried to attack me. When I blocked her attack, her phone went flying and she blamed it on me trying to block recording.”

My father has diabetes and I developed a preference for diet soda due to it being the only option in my house as a kid. I get very legitimately angry when I get a regular soda - not because I can’t drink it or dislike it that much, but because that means they could have done it to anyone with diabetes. Who the hell is…

This definitely applies in higher-end restaurants, but I think the places most people are going to are not higher-end restaurants. Most people are at Applebee’s or Chili’s or some other mid-tier restaurant where the recipes aren’t hand-crafted masterpieces from the highly trained head chef, but some recipe passed down…
