Two centuries later, we don’t have quite the same concerns.

I reiterate: There are no gymnastics. The State of Michigan provides this quote in its FAQ on the appointment of emergency managers:

I would strongly suggest you learn how political appointments work. Despite the fact that this particular appointee is a Democrat, every appointee answers to the administration that appointed him/her, or that administration’s successor, until replacement.

How, exactly, is Gov. Snyder not ultimately responsible for the actions of his appointees, whether of the same political party or not?

You do, though, by repeatedly denying that the issue even exists.

Except for the part where you literally sat here and had at least 20 women telling you that it is, in fact, true. That this is, in fact, a fear we face on a regular (read: fucking daily) basis.

No, you got started here because you suck at reading comprehension.

IT IS EXACTLY AS UBIQUITOUS AS THIS THREAD MAKES IT OUT TO BE. How many fucking women will it take telling you that it’s happening for you to believe it? What number is a good number for you to accept that this harassment, and fearful reactions to harassment, are occurring on a daily (second-ly) basis?

When you see a male friend talking to a woman who is giving obvious signals of discomfort, STOP HIM. When you are out with male friends and they are screaming “hey baby! hey!” after women who are not interested (and you can tell, because they are not responding or are walking faster to avoid you), STOP HIM. When you…

I don’t think your question means what you think it means.

Congratulations! It’s all going to work out.

Just remember: It’s OK to release the steam now and again, too. Obviously you know yourself, but if holding back is going to end in a frenzy of purchases if/when your self-control breaks, give in here or there. It’s OK.

Necessary. “Paved” means something different, and isn’t universal.

WTF is up with this Snowpiercer love? I’ve seen it twice and I don’t see it.

You’re asking an American public to follow a pro-minority-and-poor-people line of bureaucratic logic that ultimately ends where they want it to, anyway: Government failed. And if local government can fail its people to this extent, why would the federal government function any more efficiently or provide better…

Because it’s not inheritable. You die, the remainder of your winnings go back to the state.

It’ll solve my financial problems. Once I pay off my student loans, and set up my elderly, disabled Mom with a trust fund for her lifetime care, I’ll set up a family trust, run by disinterested parties, and everyone will have to submit grant proposals to get cash. If my cousins can come up with good business proposals…

The point of the article is more “pick your own adventure” and less “this is the narrative”. How can these bloggers know your specific context, or provide a sufficiently detailed roadmap that is generally applicable to its entire audience?

She’s from Louisiana. Lamb is too tame a meat. She’s long since had gator, squirrel, possum, raccoon and snake.

Please tell me how Cleveland is amazing. I’ve lived here for 2 1/2 years, and am still searching. kthxbai
