What I don’t get is how “folx/folks” is even preferable from a progressive standpoint in the first place? To me it either conjurs up explicit white southern racism (You folks ain’t from around here) or explicit white germanic racism (volks) Why not just “people”? Anything less fundementally removes a bit of humanity…

I’m already spending $3 every time I want a $1 avacado - If you want to be SURE you get home with a good avocado you have to buy a few - generally a firmer one that probably isn’t ready yet but you can be confident it hasn’t at least gone bad, and then 2 that have passed the firmness, color, smell, and stem-end pop…

Where can you find Granola Bars for $1? Granola bars are $2-$3 everywhere around here...

You imply that is a problem or somehow otherwise subject to your judgment/approval?

I see paperback attempting to address your points. I see you hurling insults and profanity.

I’d like to think so, because we try to be particularly mindful of the media we consume (I’m in PR and my spouse is a librarian so we’re both keenly aware of the effect of media on society and perception)

Not just to come mansplain, but my daughter is way more of a know-it-all explainer than my son. She’ll come dictate to you in no uncertain terms that the thing she really knows nothing about she’s sure you’re doing all wrong.

I think this is a good point. The places that progressives (like myself) tend to point to as examples of places that ban hate groups/ hate speech have comparatively young constitutions written by young(ish) liberal legislatures. Germany, France, etc re-wrote their constitutions when their political pendulum was as far…

There was a KKK rally in Winchester, IN on 8/25, and the KKK in Madison, IN are currently permitting for a rally on 9/24. White supremecists/separatists are experiencing a huge uptick in open behavior... the Trump candidacy has given them a rallying point and they’re dusting their hoods off.

Mike Pence?

Oh, I get it, I saw all the places where you typed “allegedly”. But at the same time you keep undercutting the meaning of the words you use with the way you’re using them... saying that they deserve to be locked up with the certainty of someone who’s had a trial. That’s the whole point, if you’ve NOT had a trial, then…

I get that with ppd they do tend to kill the children out of “compassion” but I think it’s a stretch to hold that they consciously consider spousal murder and decide against it. I’d imagine more like the father is simply invisible in the process, if not actively percieved as a threat to be punished.

But thankfully my…

But they aren’t convicted. They’re still in the trial phase. If not for their social standing, they’d be at home chilling with their baby waiting for some court date, but they’ve been in jail for a month, and could be in jail for goodness knows how much longer, because they can’t afford to bond out and their crime…

Because they want to make sure the man suffers. It would be better to kill the man, yet they don’t out of cruelty. This doesn’t sound better to me.

All beach is public beach! Some states may use different definitions to define how far from the waters edge counts, but I can’t think of a jurisdiction in the united states that doesn’t treat beach and shoreline as a public asset, unable to be owned by private citizens. That’s why fences and assholes are so popular,…

Well, what is your objection? That urine is unsanitary? That it will smell? This is the beach. Fish pee in the ocean. The tide will take care of that. Was she indecently exposing her genitals? Because that’s not mentioned anywhere, even in Ms. Brinkley’s posts. Looking at the photos of the Brinkley estate posted on…

Yet another overpriveleged white person who believes that paying for one thing means she gets to be the boss of something completely unrelated. We have thousands, THOUSANDS of years of legal precedent that the beach and shore belong to EVERYONE. The entire fundamental premise of Ms. Brinkley’s ire, that someone was…

Memory fails. NVRAM is forever.

Well, I’m glad you’re able to live a life free of needing or being needed by others.

Yeah, but that was before people expected that everyone at a live event would have a phone on hand, and is thus eternally, immediately, reachable. 10 years ago returning a call next day was acceptable. These days it seems if I’ve gone 10 minutes without responding to communication from a boss or significant other, the…
