Thanks for the info; not that it makes it any better, obviously, there have just been so many cases lately of people getting little more than a slap on the wrist for killing POC, that kind of thing has been weighing pretty heavily on my mind.

Is race mentioned anywhere? I didn't see it mentioned in the linked article. It's a fairly simple question that may shed light on it—racist father, white girl dating a black boy who lies to her racist father about it, racist white man shoots black boy... I note that it was apparently a shot to the head, which does not…

Agreed, her first new job should be litigation.

That's a good point. I was going to suggest "why not enforce no hair for everyone, men and women," but it would still be unfair in terms of the amount of time to recover the hair (and would also, I think, qualify as unequal treatment between men and women, since a shaved head is much much more socially acceptable for…

WHY IS THIS NOT FOR SALE

Well, I dislike Franzia, but all IPAs taste like rancid ass to me, so... my apologies, but one voter's nectar is another's piss.

Or tube steak.

Seriously thought this was some mixed drink I'd never encountered, like maybe what the kids nowadays call a Cape Cod. This... this is just... ill-advised.

I've never seen these commercials, but have attended an "organ pump". Basically, a large pipe organ has to be played regularly to stay in tune, and at this event attendees were invited to lay down on the stage to feel the vibrations of the music as well. It was quite an experience, even without being naked.

I'm not even interested in this story, I just wanted to thank you for properly spelling "lede"; so many don't know their journalism jargon.

Why does the headline not use the simpler term "Bro-eds"?

I *really* like the idea of the "shame this asshat" button. I don't think it will solve the problem, though. How long before the asshats just work in packs to target people just for being one of the aforementioned groups? You know... like in real life.

Thanks for the visual. People tend to forget (or just never did learn) that the beam is not nearly as focused at greater distances. It covers a much larger area than when you're pointing it at the wall to amuse/taunt your cat. In the case of helicopters, as in this piece, most if not all have glass floors in the…

MATURE magic of color.

...colder than the most distant of Connecticut mothers...

In fairness, I think "gender fascist" would translate more directly to femussolini, wouldn't it?

Yeah, my grandfather was a dowser. Never made a big deal out of it, just did it as a favor to friends and family. I'm always slightly more willing to believe the people who aren't looking to profit from it.

I think it's only really an issue if you developed an attraction for him from his appearance in "Seven". Otherwise, it's pretty healthy. And he sings rather well, so there's that.

Mark me in the hipster column on this one, I guess. Slovenian-Laotian Fusion just sounds delicious. I guess I can take solace in my lack of familiarity with the term "cronut".

IP blocking is actually fairly unreliable. It's perfectly fine if the person/site you're blocking has a private static IP address, but most do not. Home users generally have DHCP addresses from their ISPs, which change periodically (but at varying intervals depending on a variety of factors). Add to that the fact that…
