Anyone else tired of this joke yet?

But it doesn't stay on the skin as much.

Do you really not remember any of it? I bet a bunch of it is still in your brain and would come back if prompted. More importantly, you (presumably) got better at reading, analyzing and arguing materials, which is a skill that's far more important than rote memorization.

Oh yeah, Sartre! Sorry everyone, we're shutting this blog down because Sartre already happened. It was fun while it lasted.

I actually wasn't convinced on that one. I felt like the storyteller was reading a lot of malice into that kid's behavior that wasn't necessarily there. She set up the story by telling us about how bratty and entitled they were just because they were coming from a debate team event, without actually giving any…

Serious question: What year do you think it will be before one of these morally bankrupt fairy tale remakes will feature a non lily-white lead.

These pictures would have been considered SERIOUSLY scandalous at the time. No one was supposed to see anyone in a swimming suit (or "bathing costume," as they were called then) at all. It was akin to being seen naked. People did not hang out on the beach at that time unless they were fully dressed.

I'm not so "annoyed" as much as it makes me chuckle just how much people have normalized junk food into their daily diet. That's not to say that I never have any myself, but seriously, it seems like processed junk make up the majority of people's diets today; and once you start eating better, it becomes all the more…

To be fair... I think it's more the US & the Western hemisphere generally being ahead of hte curve than Japan being behind. If you look at the extreme difficulties with racism that Europe is having right now (particularly Greece, Italy, Scandinavia) and the anti-immigrant backlash, Japan looks right on par in terms…

Riiight??? You're welcome, America, for Thanksgiving *and* Independence Day.

Same here, I grew up in Maine and we got the Maine and Massachusetts history (because Maine was originally part of Mass) but we actually were important to the American Revolution and all. Like, we are all assholes, but at least we earned it.

1. Saint Louis Demographic, African American By Census Tract. The population was about 49.2% African American, 43.9% White (42.2% Non-Hispanic White), 2.9% Asian, 0.3% Native American/Alaska Native, and 2.4% reporting two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 3.5% of the population.

The funniest thing Sam Harris ever said was this (in response to a question about whether he felt all religions were equally absurd):

Boston has AMAZING food. St. Louis has their Wikipedia page.

So you're saying you want them to go to St. Louis and eat the food...

In Massachusetts, we spend a long time on our history too. But that's because we basically invented America. *flips hair*

Of COURSE Texas spends 3 years to learn state history. Most Texans think the state is so special and unique it needs 3 years to learn the history. But really, they're just too stupid to learn it in one year.

You take three years to learn your state's history?

My feelings were mixed in the same way until I read her biography, and saw how entitled, narcissistic, and flat-out disturbing her perception of herself and her relation to the world was. Yes, sweetheart, when you confess to acting like a sexual predator to someone who is very much a minor (and a sibling), you are a…

"One early anime show, Kimba The White Lion, for example, had Americans pushing to get black people off the show—which, by the way, takes place in Africa. They settled on letting the show depict Africans, but "only if they were good."
