I don’t disagree at all but I think it’s important to note that this kid had multiple problems with this principal, is allegedly a tremendously bright kid and . . . jeopardized her future over a shirt.

I’d love to not make this about race. Doing so when this and so many other situations point *with all 10 damned fingers* to race being the deciding factor is just delusional. I’ve faced this many times. Every person of color I’ve ever asked about it experienced this sort of shit. There are mountains of research and…

With all respect, the issue is the infantilization of the student...

What I’ve read so far of that link is full of biased and incomplete information. Fox news (haaaaa!) reports that states don’t release figures for crime involving illegal immigrants, but by parsing what data they could find, they determined illegals commit more crimes? ok...

Every known metric shows that illegal aliens have a MUCH higher crime rate than the average population. Several times higher in fact.

Why not just cut out the middle man and start leaning into a On-Demand/Premium Cordcut model? I don’t think it happens in the next negotiations (or maybe the one after that). But at some point the NFL is going to realise that MLB, NHL, MLS are making in-roads on direct-to-consumer content and want to control the…

I have to question if you read my entire post or just picked out a small piece which justifiably makes you uncomfortable. I thought that I made clear that I was referring to a stereotype, and that there is nothing wrong with the people who I know who happen to fit it. “People of multiple races, AND genders.” It *is*…

Or we could be honest about this damned agency:

Your posts are often very easy to star or just to nod my head in approval to, but I don’t fully agree with this one at all. The previous point about the bullshit of judging people is valid, as is the point that some people are, in fact, judging the article’s writer due to her race, but it is a mistake to assume that…

“body positive” and obesity have no place together. Body positive has become the new “I’m fat and tired of trying, so now I love myself”.

But then, they also know, absolutely know, that to other people it absolutely means racism, slavery, oppression, abuse, bigotry and hatred, and they don’t care.

Lady with kids: Don’t try to bring a stroller into the cabin with you. It’s dumb. It is very, very likely you knew it was not allowed.

Why doesn’t a passenger just call the appropriate police at the airport themselves, and let them come and handle it?

They also put up with a tremendous amount of abuse. Very few people are happy about flying after fighting lines to be prodded and probed, then be herded onto a bus that flies. But, it’s a calling and lifestyle, like a firefighter or a cop. Very few people want to do it, but those who do love it.

Sorry, no. Just NO. International travel with kids is stressful af. I feel guilty everytime my wife has to do it. If even 1 thing goes wrong, it can screw up everything, that’s the case for everyone, but kids who need sleep/food/changing/water/quiet time/calming/entertainment make it 100 times more difficult. Airline…

It’s nice that there are archeologists and historians that are challenging the old narrative of “there’s no way a complex society could have been here before the Europeans!”

Even if they were able to use overbooking, it still doesn’t matter. Since United doesn’t define boarding in it’s COC, common use applies. I think everyone would agree that he had boarded the plane under common use. At this point United has specific reasons for why they can kick someone off the plane. Oversold is…

I hope that you are able to successfully join a police force, since too high an IQ is often a disqualifiier. I hope that should you be successful doing so, that you don’t get power drunk or surrender to appathy, as so many have. That you always remember your stated reasons for joining, cause as shitty as many cops…

Checking that database does fuck all to resolve any issues. I had a damned payment come up missing a few years ago, and NOONE GAVE A FUCK. I pursued it for over a month with calls and emails to every group I could find, to no avail. They genuinely don’t gaf, and why should they? The money is guaranteed by the Fed…

It sounds to me that they are stopping the program only because they want the worst possible outcome. I’ll explain... There was a story the other day on Slate about a lawyer who was representing someone swept up in this recent ICE bs probono, even though he wasn’t an immigration lawyer. He detailed the extreme…
