It cracks me up up that people think the term sjw is insulting. Fuck yeah I am, I have a conscience and I stand up for what the fuck is right, because I think caring about shit is cool. Because I'm an adult and I grew out of the phase where the most valuable currency is the power of the least interested.

i think you could have left out the reference to sagging pants. It reveals at the very least, your personal cultural bias. At most it's racist.

Just want to throw in my 2 cents: I use the Secret Weapon for my evernote tagging system. thesecretweapon.org

First of all I want to commend you on a calm and rational response. I don't take that for granted anymore when it comes to online discussion, and so I thank you for that.

I'm not sure what you mean about 'screening for risk of side effects'. We are always improving our methods, but there is no way to completely remove…

Measles is <.02% fatal in the first world. Measles is EXTREMELY contageous, that is a fact. However, in the 50 years prior to the introduction of the vaccine, infection rates continued to vary randomly by year with outbreaks, while deaths decreased from a high of around 12k per year to around 450 (http://jid.oxfordjour…

Young definitely has some misconceptions about the behavior of rape survivors. The evidence she supplied is really not evidence of anything and I believe her ultimate conclusion, that the attacker is actually the victim, was false. I also believe there is ample support for the opposite conclusion, that he is a serial…

I respect your decision not to respond, however, I'm going to reply anyway because your logic is flawed. My statement was "if it stops you from going at all". Thats "at all", not "sometimes" . Unless I misunderstood your post, you claim that there are certain activities you completely refrain from doing because…

*then

If it stops you from going at all the it is "I must".

I think that the more worrysome thing is not that you only have one friend, but that you aren't one of them. It's unfair to expect anyone, including your bf, to want to spend time with you when YOU DON'T WANT TO SPEND TIME WITH YOU. Learning to enjoy being alone is one of the hallmarks of true maturity, and also gives…

I just started working on this even though I first read about it back when you started. Some notes for searching:

-Search several days after the target day as often the results return the day of the report, not the day of the incident

what the fuck

I recently discovered that what the internet thinks means nothing to me. Whatever is said on social media or other online media has literally no power to affect me unless I choose to let it. I can't tell you how free I felt when I discovered that I could simply walk away from all this BS at any time by choosing to…

in buying a preowned car right now and my brother owns a dealership on the opposite coast. He went on some dealer auction site not for the public and found out exactly what my desired car has sold for all over the country. Apparently all dealerships go to auctions, not just the shady ones.

but most people have to finance for that much money so finding a buyer takes a lot more time and effort, especially if your car is too old to be financed for a private party bank loan.

on my first car note I got a rate of 7.75 percent from capital one because I have several accounts with them (IRA, Visa, stock, checking) and I knew I was lucky to get it with my credit. The dealer convinced me to let them try and beat it so I consented to a credit check. The best they ended up getting was ~15%, and I…

He doesn't deserve such a detailed explanation. It's your fucking column and you can write what you want. When he has his own column he can do the same.

I think it's a little too late for the 'write a stern letter' strategy of attack in the present battle with police in which the public seems unwittingly engaged. If this is some civil disobedience to draw attention to the problem then I am all for it and I won't question his methods. On the other hand I agree with you…

Exactly. I loved the L word, watched every episode. That and other slightly less safe for work lesbian visual media. And I am all about the dong, always have been.

I am not excusing her statements, but they may be crafted by her label/publicist to subvert the "gay propaganda" criminalization you mentioned.
