Grr, I hate when the left is described as wanting to erase history. No. We want to stop glorifying objects of hatred and oppression. We are not the ones removing language from textbooks or saying the reason behind the Civil War is states’ rights.

They aren’t doing anything different from what BMW, Mercedes, and other luxury brands do: Sell people on the gadgets.

I wish more poor people would punch rich people in the face. Honestly why are you not banding together and forcing change? the reason you are poor is because you are being exploited with substandard wages. Yes EXPLOITED. Any company that pays minimum wage is a company ran by scumbags.

If you think a minor traffic infraction remotely justifies attempted murder: Fuck You.

Del Toro knows what he’s doing. He’s always told stories of fascinating women. His sense of color is outstanding. He’s one of the best directors working right now and I’m absurdly excited he managed to get Crimson Peak made. I hope it does insanely well and he gets to do Pacific Rim 2.

Amen. I drive a truck because I need it for work and because I like it. It is big, it is comfortable, and it hauls or pulls whatever I put behind it. Usually the people that criticize “truck guys” are the first ones who call to borrow it when they need something hauled.

I drive a pickup truck. I build houses for a living.

It could also be because by paying lower wages, you’re lowering the expectations of what they should be paid.

all the fucking stars. Men’s egos are so flimsy, I’m surprised they make it out the door.

Even the Beatles have acknowledged that when they first came together as a band, they were singing covers/stealing from black American singers and that they simply introduced it to a wider (white) audience. They were progressive later on in their careers, but not in the beginning, at all.

And that’s why it must been seen. So people learn reality versus Hollywood/Video Games. Good on the families for releasing this. Very brave and smart thing for them to do. Sorry for their loss, but they turned it into a teachable moment.

People do things in crowds they’d never do alone. Fundamental psychology, really.

I have joked that the “antibiotic stewardship program” should be called the “don’t put everybody on levofloxacin just because you don’t feel like thinking program.”

You couldn’t even classify this as Islamic based violence.

Also, I would be willing to bet five Schrutebucks that the majority of dudes know exactly what these social cues mean. They are choosing to ignore them because they think that the social contract doesn’t apply to them in cases where the other signee of said contract is female.

Yeah, all that beef first-worlders are eating require a lot of methane-spewing cattle which is going to mean we won’t have a first world if we keep it up too much longer.

If they can find a way to make insect meat not look like it came from an insect, I’d be fine with eating it. Bug protein powder or something like that — totally cool. I just don’t like for my food to resemble the animal it came from. Let me compartmentalize these things!

That’s just a matter of packaging. I love me my meats, but I am under no illusion that turning pig into bacon is...well, let’s go with “not gross.”

Funnily enough, if you were raised such that bugs were considered normative eating, you’d not notice a difference. If you start kids of young eating this stuff, they’d be fine with it.

“Men don’t get emotional, they get angry, so it’s totally better!”
