There is no ambiguity. No reports have stated that a personal firearm was used in the incident. A gun that is used for the purposes of the film is a prop gun. Prop gun doesn’t mean “fake”. 

I feel like that’s the value of a large scale survey, rather than individual anecdotes. Even if it is “only perception” this perception leads to unhappiness for women. It leads to divorce. Our perceptions create our reality.

Mine is an Americano with a pump of white mocha and a pump of pumpkin. Delicious.

She isn’t an singer? She’s an actress. EDIT-HAHA you were talking about the country music bit.

The part that I don’t understand is that there is no rational argument that I can figure out that GME is aa good stock to have? It was being shorted for a legitimate reason (Amazo, game download, decline of in person retail). I think shorting in a shitty practice but I can’t figure out the long game here? Is this just…

For every person who think The Scarlett Letter sucks are those that think it is seminal in their reading journey (even if, like me, they found it rather boring). Sure maybe your teacher sucked at teaching it, but also maybe it just didn’t connect with you and it wouldn’t have mattered if it was taught perfectly…

I disagree that it isn’t a hobby. That seems absurb. I might think that exercise is a baseline human behavior but people who run marathons or do CrossFit definitely make it a hobby. Same with foodies. Everyone eats but there are people who make it their hobby. 

I am similar, I read on my Kindle paperwhite mostly, but can read on my phone. The only thing I am really hanging on to physical books for is kids books. I like to have a wide array of kids books since they need to just have it at their fingertips in their physical space. If it requires logging into and selecting a…

I think this is the correct read. I just think there is some interpretation allowance here. I think the argument from Judge Chapman was that they had set up alternative protections (plexiglass barrier and allowance for wearing the face shield). I also think there is a lot of scrutiny right now on these overturned non-u…

Face-to-face is indeed required. It has been established through multiple Supreme Court cases. Law is tricky because there is an interplay between the plain text and established precedent interpreting the plain text that is documented through the outcome of court cases (usually at the appellate and Supreme Court…

Similar mom of six free advice. Your baby crying for less than an hour for a few days (seriously, it seems like eternity but it is really a week, two at most) IS NOT GOING TO HURT THEM IN THE LONG RUN. Will not. You having terrible mental health and breaking down sobbing because your baby will not sleep, might.

And this is it. It create so much anxiety because it feeds into the exact kind of fear that is so primal. And they have the unpaid foot soldiers who have bought all into their parenting cult and will shame you on the internet for any picture you take of your child. It is impossible. We have lost the support of family…

And also, would we rather leave making kid content to Blippi? I mean, kids like watching other kids. It’s hard to imagine any child star’s parents as being anything less than opportunistic but child content absent children seems... creepy at the very least.

I have mixed feelings. If it convinces my parents to get the vaccine, hurrah. It feels so rich but we can’t actually get the virus under control unless we convince the other half of the country to follow science and if this is it, then let’s go.

Just more of the same individualistic bullshit. The whole responsibility of the pandemic and then surviving the fallout being placed squarely on each person’s shoulders with a measly $600 handout. Stripping out the things humans need (connection, tradition, etc) and replacing it with facsimiles through Zoom is peak…

On the other side of this. I am a person with some extreme anxiety and I don’t always have the language to communicate my anger. I’m mad but even as I try to formulate why it seems absolutely huge and also ridiculous. The worst question for me is “what is going on” because I cannot even figure it out. Personally, I…

Have you wanted to give a $400 laptop to a 8 year old? Hell the $150 Chromebook is a pretty drastic investment for most families to have to make and then inevitably replace down the line this year.

Her books was exactly The Secret repackaged with white feminist branding in millennial pink.

I’m not trying to speak for her but it seems like she doesn’t want these melodramatic social media apologies for it. Not that it is ok that it was x number of ears ago but that this is not what she is looking for in this moment. Don’t do it again but your performative apology is only about absolving yourself.

Maybe not “in charge” but most White House communications and other staffers are relatively young. The gruel of the job makes it fairly inaccessible for anyone with a family which keeps it in the young, ambitious group.
