Except the first thing they teach you in nursing when it comes to suicidal ideation is if you can get them away from the immediate dangers it increases their overall chance of survival.

So, see the second comment in this thread.

I agree that people are silly about race, but it’s equally silly to ignore the fact that certain names have a tendency to be utilized more by particular cultures. It’s not just a black/white phenomenon; do you know any Japanese people named Piotr? It’s ok to say that someone named Demetrius is statistically more…

Yes but at a real company if you refused to work with whole portions of the customer base, you would not remain employed for long.

Weird how commenters could understand the complexities of war and refugee life in Afghanistan by looking at a cover picture when they were tweens, but somehow as forty year old adults are incapable of understanding the complexities of using the face of an adolescent girl with eyes that westerners consider particularly…

Commentor Busslayer upthread summed it up best. It’s not about black voters, it’s about white voters. Specifically, it is about the white voters who are on the fence about casting their ballot for Trump due to his racism. This gives them the “out” they want. It soothes their nerves when they can say he reached out to…

Obviously that is the appropriate take away. Fucking moron.

Oh, I am familiar with the history. (As the idiots in the armed forces who chose to invade Afghanistan should have been.) The fact that other, more established empires have been brought to their knees in Afghanistan doesn’t make me think any better of the US for being the latest in a string of willful fools.

“... her image came to stand as a symbol of the ongoing conflict in Afghanistan.”

C’mon....you mean to say that you and your classmates didn’t disagree on the themes behind “Hills Like White Elephants”? Like maybe one person thought it was about how certain bitches should be in the KILL column?

A little bit of Monica with my knife!

Years. Bridgegate is now a years-long investigation with criminal indictments. No, he never really had a chance because all of that happened before he ran for president. He fucked himself up something vicious to settle a petty (the pettiest, in fact) political score.

Um, excuse me, I have a Kill Journal not a mere list like some college punk.

Reading this post is like hearing your roommates having really noisy sex. Enjoyable for the people directly involved, embarrassing and annoying for everyone else, and the generous thing to do is just pretend you didn’t hear it.

Whatever we may think about the quality of the poem, she did put a lot of effort into it, that’s pretty sweet. That said, I too would love a poem about a woman falling in love with another woman who had gone through the procedure I described. An epic one with a lot of adventure and suspense.

" Yes, you might lose sleep. But you'll save money."

"You might lose sleep, but..." Super health advice there. Also assumes that being poor means you shouldn't have leisure time, because you have so many socks to darn and grocery stores to walk across the city to. You're asking someone to sacrifice their health and sanity so you don't have to look at fat people all…

Your situation is certainly a difficult one, without doubt. But when you are poor, you don't have money, so you have to spend time. You mend your own clothes, you make your own cleaning products, you will find every fucking kind of way you can to save money. Yes, you might lose sleep. But you'll save money.

I HAVE tried to prioritize those things.

You're ignoring a ton of other things that go into healthy eating. Are we buying fresh produce? I can get carrots super cheap but they're gonna be freezer burnt or taste chemically. How healthy we talking? Organic? Grass fed? That seems to be what most "health experts" run…

Yeah, a coworker's wife was actually raving about Kang and how she's an inspiration and like her (said coworker's wife is extremely fit after two kids), and we (the other women in the office) should emulate Kang.

Yes. It's offensive to be condescended to by someone who thinks their body mass index makes them an expert, when let's be honest, this lady isn't very bright if her syntax is any indication. She seems uneducated. Not that i'm trying to dumb-shame her, but I'll take my fitness advice from a fir person and my…
