Yah no. I did quit, but being disrespected by a child is in no way anything like having to constantly save people who are poisoning themselves over and over again and involving their children and attacking people and robbing them and letting the child sleep just a few feet from a bathroom with a clogged toilet with…

I was an EMT for two and a half years. It can change you and your perspective on people. After you see so many doing the same thing you start to hate that you aren’t making a dent in anything, and even start to hate the addicts you are supposed to help.

I’ve worked with drug addicts before. You start to become numb to it after a while, seeing children in environments like this. Once I went into a house in West Virginia and saw a child on the way in, and totally forgot he was there by the time I left. I was surprised to see him and then was like “oh, right, your…

It’s confusing for people of younger ages too. So some black people are offended by “colored,” others are not. With no obvious way to delineate who is what.

I just generally give Southerners a pass on “honey.” Literally everyone is “honey:” wives, girlfriends, mothers, boyfriends, 2nd cousins, etc. Same to “sugar.” Literally every woman is “sugar” to someone from Oklahoma. Women are “sugar” to other women.

I would fully support your decision to wear a toga and a laurel wreath. Just saying.

SAME. Like I may be old but “Latina” and “Latino” didn’t bother me at all. If I had to update my feelings to modern times I would say both terms are great at describing the existence of two separate experiences. What the hell does “Latinx” describe? Just generally born south of Texas?

Correct. HALO insertions with dogs are rare but not out of reason and they do have oxygen masks for them. Lower altitude dogs are muzzled because they don’t want the dog freaking out (some do) when the parachute opens.

Same. Eaten rabbit, deer, parrot, donkey, dog (China!), Buffalo. Somehow still not craving man flesh.

My state too, actually.

When it comes to milk produced per liter, almond milk actually uses more than cows. Almond groves have been a significant contributor to California’s water crisis as well.

No, being Jewish is both a religious, cultural, and ethnic experience. Their are ethnic Jews who aren’t that religious (John Stewart, in example), and their are cultural Jews who aren’t ethnic (see old-school Brooklyn, not just before the midwestern kids with their parents money but before the black people from the…

He was raised by white parents since he was a year old. He never participated in “blackness” until this protest, look at anything he has done prior to the 2016 season. He was white in everything but skin tone.

We’re the ones holding back the conversation saying

The idea that one group just should impose its will on the other and the other can have nothing to say about it is doing no favors to black folk. It isn’t a conversation, a teaching experience, even a lecture. It’s blatanly offensive to the intelligence of non-black people to be told they can’t have an opinion, and it…

I love this whole conversation so much.

The Seahawks remained neutral, which is a lot like saying nothing at all.

80 degrees is mild temperatures anywhere in the world. 80 degrees in NYC is the very same 80 degrees in Maine as it is in Calcutta or Hong Kong. That is the thing about temperature readings: they are standardized. And humidity? New York doesn’t have humidity like St Louis or Kansas City or even northern Arkansas. NYC…

So George Washington was in the KKK now? Thomas Jefferson was a confederate?
