In my non anecdotal experience as a psychologist, people always think their in-group is somehow better than the outgroup on measures that matter to them. Like: “sure a “correct” typist can type faster, but his health will suffer, whereas what we’re doing is healthier and that’s what really matters”...

Work should be on that list.

Said someone who knows nothing about cooking a steak.

Kanye himself is a great example. MBDTF is basically an album about how being rich and famous fucking sucks, and it’s an incredible album. Hell, everything he did after College Dropout has that as at least a motif within it, and it’s all pretty damn good. But MBDTF concentrates on that as an aesthetic and it’s a…

Kate Knibbs thinks Hillary is referring to the weapon aspect of the Manhattan project rather than mobilizing the scientific community to solve a difficult socio-political problem with scientific and technological advancement. The fuck?

So this series is awful and indulges the worst white performative liberal tendencies, but the Seal line was great.

This is the info these people leave out! Of course it took you one go around to learn what to do and what not to do but thats part of the experience.

I know a couple people who have done this, some were rich and in the right biz at the right level (read: Worked for google upper management but not in Silicon Valley, CA…

Absolutely insane that terrorist attacks in the West would resonate with people in the West. I just can’t fathom it.

Wait whaaaat?? That pretty much trumps anything I’ve saved to my “Weird Shit of Craigslist” folder.

As far as I know none of the candidates were related to Damon, Affleck or the other producers. As someone who works in this “industry” I agree that nepotism is a plague, but it isn’t a factor in this situation. And I don’t really agree that a person must be the same gender or race as another human being to relate to…

I’ll agree with Matt Damon. You want the best director for the job.

Ohh god, yes for this forever!!

I’m growing more and more uncomfortable with the seemingly increasing progressive notion that people’s backgrounds must be fully delved into and punishment doled out for things they did years and years ago, retroactive, permanent punishment. It strikes me as so anti-liberal.

So... what exactly is wrong with that?

It’s entirely possible that two extremely common words were combined in two different contexts by two different social groups. However, the term that these articles are tracking originates, like so many other trending terms in the last 10 years, from the black community.

It sounds like two separate slang terms that are being conflated. Maybe VF and HP were just excited because they heard a slang word used in a different context and they thought they might know what it meant.

I feel the same way about Daniel Radcliffe. He was okay in the later Harry Potters (I’m ignoring the earlier ones because he was a child), but he really shines in comedic roles. He was very good in How to Succeed in Business without Really Trying on Broadway and is delightful in A Young Doctor’s Notebook (the two of…

I like you Stuart, you aren’t like the other kids here in the trailer park.

Jumping Jesus on a pogo stick! Everybody knows that a Burrow Owl lives in a hole in the ground. Why the hell do you think they call it a Burrow Owl, anyway?

How about just simply saying out loud that the system of law enforcement is broken and racist. Admit the systemic racism.
