A move like this closes off even the possibility of conversation, and shows that the person using it sees black people as a homogeneous mass who do little more than respond to the cues offered by charismatic leaders, and occasionally need to be reminded of what those cues are by benevolent whites.

The only thing stopping me is the knowledge that the poor sap who gets conned into selling a PS4 or Wii U for $90 is probably losing a job they can't afford to lose.
The theory of a social breakdown sounds pretty familiar.
More evidence that most humans never truly "get" object permanence...we just "get it" a little better with age.
Needs more Pope.
For everyone marveling at this country's apparent backwardness, I'd like to point out that they are, in a literal sense, playing an incredibly fast game of catch-up.
Interesting!
My grandparents all died of cancer in their early to mid-70s. None of it was caused by smoking, drinking, or any other terrible life choice.
One teeny tiny quibble here about an otherwise entertaining article: I don't think sports ban nut shots out of cowardice or coddling. It's just a necessity, and the very fact that it's banned from organized fighting and frowned upon IRL is definitely proof enough of its efficacy.
Yeah, some of the things that cross my mind when we're fighting are simply horrifying. Not things I want to do, mind you. Just things I know I could say that would cut to the marrow of the woman I love and likely destroy our relationship.
I shut the fuck up the instant I feel my temperature rising. There is zero point in trying to discuss anything like an adult in the midst of an amygdala hijack, because everything that comes out of your mouth will be overtly hostile and/or defensive.
...about 50 independent processes are at work in human brains performing the complex visuo-motor tasks of indicating the presence of green and red boxes...It implies that parallelism in the brain does not occur on the level of individual neurons but on a much higher structural and functional level, and that there are…
Reminds me of this story on toxoplasmosis from a few years back. If I remember correctly, there were also rumblings of a possible link in men between toxoplasmosis infection and impulsive behavior.
I just tried it myself and it was bounced back.
When the sweetness was taken away, people didn't tend to prefer the no-longer-sweetened flavor. Another study, a bit more ambitious, attempted to get elementary school kids to like eating vegetables. The kids were given vegetable puree sweetened with sugar to drink. Although they did like the sweet vegetable shake,…
I'm not an attorney but it seems like that could be a little bit of a problem for Apple down the road...which will be kind of hilarious.
Ahh I think I misread; I had skimmed that part thinking it just said that it only applied to Prime customers but that you could get around that by signing up for the trial. Missed the bit about "new gift card customers."

I don't doubt that they'd try if they really, truly thought we were fucked. I just don't think they could do it or even come close to it.
