The Williams sisters both have said that they would not win a game, perhaps not even return serve against the number 200 male player. That’s why they shut down any proposal to play men, and any contention that they would be competitive against men. They are quite definitely not “mayo”, and certainly deserve to have…

The science is there to back up the advantages trans-women have if they’ve passed through male puberty.

Portland is called “the whitest city in America” for a reason. So, while it’s true that the city has a pretty robust cycling community and plenty of infrastructure supporting bicycle commuting, any incremental increase in black riders is destined to be minute.

Someone will want this. Someone who is not me.

Except that the order was refused in every venue for lack of evidence. In a divorce, it is not uncommon to see one party or the other make such accusations, regardless of the legitimacy of the accusations. Given that the complainant was repeatedly unsuccessful and has actually been penalized by the court for violating…

I had several of these as company cars and I would rent them, too. Comfortable long distance cruisers and surprisingly good in Rt 81 snowstorms through upstate PA and NY, the Le Sabre was the representation of Buick I still envision, even though they’ve bailed on cars. This thing can do 200k - if I were still a…

Marilyn Monroe was a very small person. That doesn’t fit the conventional wisdom, but she was anywhere from a 4-6 in contemporary sizing. Her bust was 35, but the rest of her? Tiny. I’ve seen her clothes in person, and they would inspire conspiracy theories among those who like to label her as zaftig. 

I think they pretty clearly communicate that his feelings were hurt throughout the episode. In a way, he’s MORE rounded than the white kids, because he stepped out of solely nerdy pursuits to play a team sport.

First time in my life I haven’t been happy to see to continued presence of mourning wood.

No, it’s not even close. The US is not adding net people to the population. So, a US citizen having kids doesn’t move the world needle. Plastics, on the other hand, can only increase with consumption and production, not just because the world lacks the technology and infrastructure to recycle, but by the very nature…

The population problem is flattening and is expected to halt or decline by 2100. The growth will largely be in Africa and Asia. Europe and South America will be in decline. So, a US or Canadian person having 3-4 kids isn’t really going to move the needle in the face of statistical trend.

It’s ridiculous to claim that there isn’t Black homophobia. The very fact that you claim that “...he’s being used against his own people...”, really? Who’s using him? White LGBTQ people? C’mon - what stake do they have in him being nominated for anything?

I had to read that twice. Good handle, btw, I’ve had three.

There’s nothing “vital” about your point. It’s not selfish to have kids any more than it’s selfish to not have kids. I think it’s responsible to not have more kids than one can support.

Given the relative quality of 1980's Maserati, one can reasonably posit that the low mileage is a function of downtime, not conservatorship. I mean, I’d still buy the thing for the summer. 

I’m relatively certain you’d take steps if animals threatened your housing situation; beavers dams can destroy all kinds of stuff - houses, farmland, equipment, sanitary water supply, etc. Beavers are just beavers, they are fine with relocating if they can remain undisturbed.

It’s almost like 15 years ago might has well have been another eon. In terms of trans- acceptance, it was.

I’m in. I will sacrifice some couch time to this show.

This car couldn’t be more German. 

My legs, hip to knee, put my ass in a seat and my knee against the tray. My feet occupy the space under the seat in front of me. In the vast majority of situations, most passengers do not put things under their own seat (partially a function of design, the guard under the seat that prevents items from sliding forward…
