There was always this one student of my piano teacher that was ahead of me. We started around the same time, we both practiced a lot, but he was always better. It killed me for a while, but I realized that he was showing me what a student was capable of and eventually I appreciated him for it. I ended up becoming a

Senator McCain is on extended leave, leaving only 50 Republicans who can be in attendance at this time. If every Senate Democrat and Independent is absent, they can deny quorum (51 senators are required for the Senate to function). This would effectively shut down the government. No bills. No amendments. No

I’m floored that people still recommend VW after their vast conspiracy to commit emissions fraud, lying to consumers and releasing unknown amounts of pollutants contributing the anthropogenic global climate disruption. I’ll never buy from that crooked company again, and I’d remind people of their awful behavior before

Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. If there was a significant change in the lifestyle to which the wife and kids were accustomed, that would similarly disincentivise separation, which would keep people in bad relationships. And no doubt the now ex-wife made significant sacrifices, including to her career, to help raise

The purpose of child support is, upon the separation of one parent who works and another who does not, that the parent who does not work be able to continue to support themselves and their children, maintaining the financial relationship which predates the separation. The needs of the un-working parent and children

I think it’s $50k.

From an elementary school science standpoint, chest freezers would seem to make a lot more sense than freezers (and refrigerators) which open from the side, given that heat rises and cold falls. A freezer with access from the top is more likely to keep cold air in when you open it to access your food, even if it is

Lin-Manuel Miranda can play the role of a legacy broadway producer who modernized his father’s vision of broadway and has found great success, but who is still quite conservative because he came from money. Chelsea Peretti can play the former hairdresser who becomes the nanny. She can do double-duty between this and Ni

It’s not just that Superman is strong, it’s that it never even occurs to Superman to think about the possibility of something being too heavy. When people around Superman struggle with heavy things, he has to put extra effort into trying to imagine what it’s like to have difficulty moving that desk or carrying those

First car as a small SUV or crossover? Honda CR-V.

All the effort you’re putting into this and you’ve not mentioned a single specific study. It’d be funny if it wasn’t so transparent.

It reminds me of when vaccine deniers say “there’s no evidence that vaccines prevent the spread of infectious diseases” and then swear up and down all day that they’ve done the research, but strangely never present a single shred of that research. It’s almost as if they started with an assumption and just pretended to

the questions were rhetorical. i already know the answers.

K, but also the Bible condemns homosexuality in no uncertain terms in Leviticus chapter 18, verse 22, and chapter 20, verse 13, so this bigoted gym-bro could say that someone who tolerates and accepts gay people as a Christian doesn’t have an honest interpretation of the Bible and probably doesn’t read it.... and

Yes, I’m sure.

If you had actually done your research, you wouldn’t need to ask me these questions. Research, then conclusions. Stop doing it backwards.

Maybe they can have a running statistic counter on how often the internet gets a little justice boner for false rape accusations getting caught vs. how many actual rapes are completely ignored by those same people. We can call it the “I Have Zero Fucking Perspective Meter”.

Following your religious beliefs and being bigoted are not mutually exclusive. I’m tired of this. If you’re behaving intolerantly and that behavior is motivated in some significant way by an honest interpretation of your religion, your religion (or your version of your religion) is intolerant. That’s it. End of story.

there is no real data on false accusations of rape.
