As an outsider in the UK I always find it so weird reading about health care in America. I got bit by a wild animal, went home, drove to hospital, gave name and address, got tetanus jab and some anti-biotics for a week, paid nothing.

This is absurd and really poor sportsmanship on her part to say. Who exactly is she implying shouldn’t have been nominated? Danielle Brooks outshone Hudson by quite a bit the night that I saw the show, I can’t find fault in the nominators choosing her.

This article explains so much. A couple months ago, there was another article here for which the topic of home-birth with a midwife came up in comments. Several people equated the practice to the medical standards of refusing vaccines because they cause autism, or some fake science like that. Used as I am to seeing my…

There is also a potential selection issue in addition to the midwife training etc. it matters who is having home births. If it's a normal cross section of mothers in Europe and Canada but a skewed sample of more at risk populations in the US (folks who can't afford hospitals or good prenatal care, rural populations,…

But they tested on Bud Light, it is not beer. So you are safe to try.

I lol’d at the Stella comment.

Yeah, I basically feel that if you’d rather sew handbags than have sex for money then that DEFINITELY should be something you are supported in achieving. But if you’d rather be having sex and sewing handbags is something you’re being pressured into because the government is all “We actually don’t give a fuck about you…

Just because you don’t understand doesn’t mean it doesn’t make sense. Learn to read.

And not all people in adult services industries are trafficking victims. Or do you think that if there are enough people working in any industry (adult, hospitality, textiles, manual labour, any industry, just for the sake of being neutral) under duress or unwillingly, then people working voluntarily in them shouldn’t…

No see, that’s different, because getting my nails done cheaply is something I actually benefit from. Women should be exchanging sex with men for social stability and value, and a share in his property and assets, or out of love and affection, or just general horniness. If some upstart hussy exchanges it with men for…

Maybe they could follow the Cambodian model: “rescue” voluntary sex workers along with the actual trafficking victims and forcing them into in government sanctioned sweatshops making clothes for Western labels. (“WE get to decide what your labour is worth and how you do it, not you.”)

The way hate crime laws generally work is that they increase the severity of punishment of a crime where the it was motivated by a bias against a particular group.

Uh yes. Because every murder of a black person is not automatically a hate crime. It has to be racially motivated. If you shot a black guy because he slept with your wife, you’re shooting him for that reason and not because he’s black. Which means you didn’t commit a hate crime. The same thing applies here. If the…

Not pictured: the Gap Kids ad from just a few years ago wherein a black model was using a white model as an armrest in almost the exact same pose.

Not you, too. Andrew...

I don’t know, man. The bash shell on windows is huge. Huuuge. It’s one of the best shells. The very best. It’s fantastic!

Hmmmm.

This. Totally. No way is Venus Williams bigger than Nadal, Djokovic or Federer. This is totally ethnocentric,

Since this ended in a thai, it went to a shootout.
