To the people who claim cultural appropriation is a silly buzzword, well, here is literally the best example you can find of it; selling the work of an indigenous people as your own and giving them no benefit from it at all.

That’s a perfect analogy. Public services, like transit and education, should always be prioritized over subsidizing a private service. If you want to choose to pay for a private service, that’s your right. There is no reason the government should be subsidizing it.

I’ve heard this about private schools before, but I have a hard time believing that if the private schools in an area are really struggling that the public schools in that same area aren’t struggling more. Funding is finite, and I really believe that public services, like education, should be given priority.

I did too, but I don’t see how that makes giving public money to private schools justified. This is like saying that the MTA should give money to Uber drivers because I took one once and liked it better than public transit.

If you opt out of a government program, you shouldn’t expect the government to pay for your private replacement for it.

New York City currently already pays for textbooks, computer supplies, certain special education programs, and school buses for its private schools.

A living donor, sure. If you’re deceased, no. If discrimination against trans people is okay, is it also okay for someone to specify that their organs may only go to a Christian, or to a white person, or to someone who’s never been arrested? It’s a huge rabbit hole, and transplant decisions often need to be made…

They already give families the option to parse between organ and tissue donation, too. A lot of tissue donation is used for procedures that improve quality of life, which a procedure for someone trans seems like it includes, and it’s not as if deceased donors of either organs or tissues have a say in deciding what…

The thing about this case is that berks isn’t the original designer. However since they used it with permission and had it copyrighted, they prob have a case. I don’t see why Cara couldn’t have wholesaled it or asked permission first, However Berks could have handled it better.

Mum say counselor not psychologist, in most places counselors aren't regulated. It's literally any crackpot with a sign and email address. Huge difference.

I’m sorry your mom is trying to manipulate you like that. This person, Dawn, sounds like someone with a counseling degree, which could be at any level— possibly Associates, likely Bachelors or Masters, not necessarily a Ph.D.— so that could explain her poor professionalism here. I’m pursuing a Ph.D. in Clinical…

Being a Canadian, it was so frustrating to hear our media dismiss the genuine concerns players had on playing on artificial surfaces. during the World Cup. The whole argument within Canada was that “oh no, people are attacking us because we’re Canadians again”

Thanks for covering this. Insane that it took losing one of their best players to an ACL tear to deal with domestic playing surfaces, especially after all the crap FIFA put them through playing the WWC on turf.

I can see why it would be nice if you live in like...Wisconsin? But if you live in a city with real Mexican food, why go to Chipotle?!

I liked this film the first time it was made and was called ‘After Hours’. Or the second time when it was called ‘New York, I Love You’.

Er well that’s your job.

i feel like sweden is just showing off at this point with their equality and incredibly sane country. how i get to live there.

The fact that Trayvon Martin is dead and this dipshit piece of human garbage still gets to walk the earth as a free man will enrage me until the day I die.

I agree with you that the movie had problematic, paternalistic overtones. Still, I don’t think women (or anyone for that matter) have to be weak to be exploited. I didn’t come away from watchings HOT GIRLS WANTED thinking the women in it were weak in any way. I did think they were often being exploited.

Your comment alerted me to Broadchurch Season 2’s addition to Netflix. I shall thank you now, before my upcoming binge liquifies my brain entirely. No regrets!
