That's what I thought it said too, and I confess I got kind of excited, but felt sad for Natalee Holloway's family, too.

Maybe diversity isn't a core value for them, or maybe for them it was less valuable than being near their family and support system. There are trade-offs, you know? (I mean, I personally really like the idea of leaving the US, but because my family is here, I stay here to be near them.)

This makes me very sad for poor, working-class parents who might desperately need those Saturday morning cartoons to distract their kids so they can get a few hours of precious sleep on Saturday morning.

Yams (not sweet potatoes) do have phytophormones that can affect human hormone levels.

No, it is the yam, not the sweet potato, which is estrogenic.

Some people would and some would not. However, it's a lot more important for biracial kids and children of color to live in communities that are not all-white, than it is for white kids, in terms of development and self-esteem. POC who grew up in all-white communities experience feelings of alienation and often social…

The mother clearly says that they are moving so their daughter can live in a more diverse community, not to "avoid racism."

I have watched that video countless times and it never gets old. She is just gorgeous.

Yes! Animated Batman is the best Batman.

"for almost a decade, we've had a vaccine that prevents HPV infection and, by extension, the deadly cancers it causes."

Perhaps you are not from the South? My family are cattle ranchers and yes, very commonly we refer to cattle, plural, as "cows".

Good points! Also anyone who has actually observed cows can see that they have social preferences. Generally cattle prefer the company of their mother and siblings to that of other cattle.

"is it true, that in the US if you have no health insurance, you get no pain relief during labour?" No, this is not true.

"The big brains and the walking gave us enough of an advantage that we could lose a good chunk of individual members (women and babies) in childbirth but the species would still advance"

Someone should inform your doctor that the uterus is already full of bacteria, the ones that are in the vagina. The placenta is full of them, the uterus is full of them, the amniotic fluid is full of them. It's microbes all the way down. The idea that the uterus is sterile is an outdated belief that was never based in…

Yes, and this is a frequent consequence of frivolous arrest or police harassment.

Your assumption is that the child was in a place where she needed supervision. She is 9 years old and was at a playground.

Yeah, I did a lot of animal rescue (mainly reptiles) when I was young and I know people do a lot of stupid/cruel/irresponsible things. But some "rescuers" just assume that everyone has bottomless pocketbooks and enormous houses that can be filled with animals. Basically, these people were shitting on me for being a…

I think they took the full video down, I can't find it :(
