I think part of the issue is that when it is used, it is more often to build up the male character and spur him to action. It isn’t about the female character and how she deals with it, it is about giving the man a reason to be macho and stand up for her. sure, there should be more rapes in media if we want it to be…

I especially like the part where they mention studies in other highly developed countries found higher mortality rates. Since our numbers don’t sound scary enough for them, they want to throw in some vague warning that makes people think it is really more dangerous than it is. And of course they don’t mention what…

I really question his taste. The basketball flower pot will add “a touch of class”? Really? It’s an interesting use, but I’m not so sure about classy.

The thing is, in pure numbers the scale are closer that your charts make them appear. From a human perspective, Fahrenheit uses around 100 numbers (0 to 100) as shown in your chart while Celcius uses around 60 (-20 to 40). Now your second chart is thrown off by including water boiling, which basically doubles the…

And how silly would it be for the democrats to fake votes in California? They know they are going to win the state, so why exactly would they take the time to add fake votes there? I guess in his mind they were trying to make sure they won the popular vote but why would anyone do that instead of trying to win the…

No, that is an very uncomfortable place, not an odd place.

The problem with getting rid of Marvin Lewis is who else is going to come here and work under Mike Brown? The only reason the Bengals are the decent team they have been is that Marvin Lewis has been there long enough that Mike Brown has given him some small amount of control. The minute Lewis leaves, Brown will want…

But doesn’t water just drip through the openings and pool under the wood? Sure it would help keep the floor drier, but not dry.

As in most other things, the Trump men finish before the women, leaving them with a limp half piece of ribbon.

I haven’t seen that, but that is a tiny minority of individuals. But yes, I should have guessed at least a couple outliers would say that to get attention. That said, that article is a terrible racist piece of garbage. When an article talks about “the lie of Trayvon Martin’s death” you know there isn’t going to be a…

No, they haven’t called for less police presence, they have called for better police presence. I have never heard anyone say “there should not be police in black neighborhoods”. They want the police to treat them with the same respect they treat white neighborhoods. That means less shooting of unarmed suspects, less…

But there is no reason McGregor couldn’t have been a big draw for his first title defense. Aldo isn’t a huge personality, but then again neither is Eddie Alvarez. The problem is, they are killing an entire division to keep McGregor happy. Instead of seeing him fight guys in the featherweight division and seeing good…

The thing is though, McGregor still has not defended his belt. He has not had another featherweight fight since he won the belt. Even if you think Aldo doesn’t deserve a rematch (which I would disagree with since he is in the interim champion) McGregor should fight someone at featherweight or be stripped of the title.…

I was the same way. I am a low effort user so I never really interacted much with the bank and everything was fine. But as more and more came out about how they were screwing other people and the country as a whole, I made the decision to move to a credit union. Yes, it is actually a little less convenient at times,…

This is dead on. I always try and pay cash at small local vendors because it means more to them to not have to pay the credit card fees. Sure, I miss out on that 1% cash back or whatever, but to me it is more than worth it to help at that small local vendor and than to give Visa some more money. At big box stores it…

And please forget about the Southern soldiers who died fighting to keep slavery. Sure, they were Americans before and were still Americans afterward, but please forget that half the country wanted to keep you as property.

The thing is, this wasn’t brought on by health issues. The data is still inconclusive as to whether there is any health risk. The bigger issue is that they haven’t proven it to be effective over regular soap and water. That is why it is still allowable in hand sanitizer.

We have no idea what he did before being arrested. He may have struggled a lot with his urges, or not at all. He definitely watched child porn, but we have no idea if he tried to stop or if he reveled in it. Some people don’t get better, but you have no idea if he is one of them. The sure way to make sure someone…

You also can’t “cure” an alcoholic or drug addict. That doesn’t mean someone will relapse. The key is giving people the keys to controlling their urges and dealing with them. The way we treat sex offenders now, that is no treatment in prison, no treatment or follow up when released, and registering as a sex offender…

I think it depends on how you like your mashed potatoes. If you prefer them actually mashed, then leaving the skin on is fine. If you prefer them whipped, then having the skin on will definitely ruin it for you.
