I’m not comparing it to other racial slurs? I’m saying I’ve heard the argument that it’s offensive to non-white people.

Well, that’s exactly what I’m referring to. I’m not sure how widespread the mentality is, but I have definitely heard the argument (and it makes sense to me kind of) that it’s more offensive to other races than to whites in the first place.

So, not to agree with this dude, but I thought there was a mentality behind behind not using the term because it’s racist by implying that whites are superior unless qualified as trash? Like, one doesn’t hear of asian or black trash? Not because it’s mean to white people.

Fucking thank you. That throne room fight was so painfully bad. Given how many incredible, prominent sequences there have been recently make it stand out as terrible even more.

That doesn’t make it not a disease. AIDS is an advanced disease stage caused by HIV.

There is not a single true sentence in this post.

Scientists have shit to do.

I’m pretty sure that Asperger’s is still listed in the ICD, so there isn’t worldwide consensus on the diagnosis despite the change to the DSM.

I’m not sure why folks don’t get this. Belichick realized forever ago he doesn’t have to answer anything he doesn’t want to in pressers. His boss certainly approves of how he handles them, and the league doesn’t seem to care enough to threaten him with anything serious enough to change his behavior.

Does he tho? It’s not like the league is going to suspend him. I think he just realized a long time ago he doesn’t have to do anything he doesn’t feel like when it comes to pressers.

Argh, do people still use VLOOKUP?

Well, favorite contemporary artist. Until RTJ4 drops at least.

Phew, A$AP has been my favorite artist/act since A.L.L.A came out. It’s been years and I think I still run that album straight through once a week at least. Testing kinda meh but still.

This is my thinking too. I think there are legitimately interesting questions around how women’s divisions should be restricted, but most takes seem to be all-in on one side here with very little thought (e.g., “XY MEANS MAN DUHHR, or, “WHY IS PHLEPS ALLOWED TO RACE WITH HIS ADVANTAGES?!!?”).

There are no restrictions on who is allowed to race in the division where Phelps competes. There are in hers.

I want to laugh, but this is probably literally going to happen should this research pan out further.

There may have been only one study on this particular work/series, but there has been plenty of thought put into how suicide should be covered and depicted. People with experience in both think that the scene risks enough harm to merit removal. 

Pai is competent at making Verizon more money. Nothing else. Not sure what faith in him there could possibly be to “erode.”
