I’d go so far as to say anyone can get into a rut or a kick on anything. I have my food ruts to be sure, but I also get hooked on certain songs that I want to listen to with great frequency (not necessarily on repeat) before I tire of them. I get obsessed with binging a TV show, podcast, or videogame before I slow…

This stems from years of schools punishing both students whenever bullying takes place. Like if someone hits you and you hit back, now you’re both in trouble, because the school doesn’t want to take the time and effort to figure out the context or the power dynamics in play.

If the answer is “What’s a Lawrey’s?” they are banned. From the entire internet.

Counterpoint: when you have l337 gaming skillz, sometimes you can click faster than you can keyboard shortcut, at least for certain combinations. I do a lot of excel work, so I’m used to having my left hand on the keyboard and my right hand on the mouse.

Hah, I could outrun Jesse Owens right here, right now.

I don’t know how widespread this is, but at least in D.C., and presumably other places, jury duty counts as mandatory PAID time off (with some caveats). Employers have to let you do jury duty, and they have to pay you for it.

Ok. I missed the part where she’s not the coach. My mistake on that. Though I think my wider point of “Don’t be shitty to your underlings” still stands.

Maybe she said the N-word, but it seems as though her larger offense was making the players uncomfortable. I’ve never been a fan of loud, abusive, foul-mouthed coaches (or drill sergeants, or band directors, or anyone else whose job involves guiding people towards victory or higher performance). You can criticize your…

No Old Dominion? Maybe it’s not sold outside of Virginia, but it’s probably my favorite. Barq’s comes in second. I don’t mind the fact that it has caffeine, there’s not a lot of it in there compared to a cup of coffee. But then again, I have a very high tolerance.

with some using the hashtag #BoycottSouthwest.

The level of stupidity in that statement. I can’t. A person wearing a confederate flag is offensive. A confederate flag hanging in a civil war museum* complete with a plaque explaining it’s history is an entirely different context.

Fucking hell, Brandt. You do what you gotta do, but don’t do it on camera. Visit her in jail, or I dunno, say “I forgive you” silently in your own head. Brandt’s actions are going to make white people hold the rest of us [black people] to an impossibly high standard (I mean, they already do, but now they have an…

I’m always amazed at how people refuse to admit that they carry a very human and normal bias. It’s not inherently wrong that you think people of a different race all look similar, you just need to A) not say that out loud, you dumb idiot and B) make an effort to work on it. Just take a few extra moments to notice the…

I have to admit, the brazen stupidity of that tweet did make me laugh.

It’s not just sadistic, it’s downright treasonous*! Nickelback is a Canadian band!

My dad is a mechanical engineer, and I remember when I was in high school struggling to memorize some trigonometry equations for a test. I asked my dad how he memorizes the mathematical formulas he told me he doesn’t. He has a reference sheet.

I know that a hernia is a serious medical condition that requires attention. I just don’t give two shits about R Kelley’s hernia, or his other issues. I’m sorry that you, RadicalIntelligence, had to suffer such a thing.

“I’m not racist, I just say and do racist things. But that’s not my true intent. If you could only look past all of my words and actions and examine the real me, you would understand.” -A racist

I’d be more interested in a series of interviews with trans-men (who already receive less coverage than trans-women) and their experiences with misogyny before and after their transition. It’s the same basic idea, but with fewer creepy, plastic faces.

If he googles shit at all it’s probably disjointed, mangled words in all caps, like HOUSE SENAET DIFERENT, UKRAINN HILARY EMAIL, PELOSI SEX TAPE etc
