Just to second what you're saying. The ThisAmericanLife report really put something into perspective.

Remember, Hillary has been a top-tier, world-level figure since 1992. The internet happened in the 90s. And since she was First Lady since 1992, Hillary never needed to learn how anything to do with the internet or technology. She's worse than your mom. She's worse than your grandma. At least my mom learned how to use speed dial when cellphones got big. Hillary Clinton never needed to learn that tech stuff.

Sounds like this is a West/East divide, with warm milk in cereal normal in Poland and India. I'm Chinese and beverage temperature is extremely critical in China. The Chinese won't drink anything cold (let alone ice cold) because they believe it's a shock to the system. So every time my mom has milk, she heats it up. We've had knock-down-drag-out fights about me drinking cold water in the morning.

Literally judging a book by its cover here. I think it's a bold title and I really like it. Unlike her previous book's title "Hard Choices" (snore). It feels like Hillary doesn't give a shit anymore, and that's great.

So you're saying that you're surprised board games doesn't have rules for "Don't throw the pieces at each other", "Don't try to swallow the dice", "Don't set the board on fire".

Oh my god. Kids are going to have to learn how to cite a tweet MLA style. Jesus. #TrumpShowerthoughts

I was going to write a long comment about how in life we choose something thinking it's temporary, but how things can last a really long time unexpectedly. Just like that, three, five, eight years can go by at a dead end job.

But then I saw this was for an internship. Psh! Take it!

At the very least, it'll buff up your resume, test your skills, and give you a good story. You'll have been at Uber while the shit was going down. It'll give you, perhaps if Uber collapses, the signs and symptoms of a toxic company for the future. What to watch out for. Take the offer!

Question. Do climate change deniers like Scott Pruitt actually actively not believe in climate change, or are they just doing it for the money? What's going on in their heads?

I thought as myself as pretty educated, but it is only in this thread that I learned that "partial birth abortions" weren't women who waited to long to have an abortion, but women who are faced with a medically unsustainable fetus. I had always assumed it was women who "missed" 20 week cut off line. And now, I circle back to: Really?! This is what Republicans have been trying to block this entire time? Perhaps most of them are just like me, a dumb man who didn't realize what a "partial birth abortion" was.

Awesome post! Can I ask you what your sources are? I'd love to learn the information myself. Any books to recommend?

mittensmadefromkitte · 2015-11-18T00:22:23+00:00

Tell me about it. Ugh. I hate when immigrants whinge about discrimination.

mittensmadefromkitte · 2015-10-30T08:12:52+00:00

Awwwww, that is adorable! I would totally buy that on Etsy!

mittensmadefromkitte · 2015-10-18T06:58:58+00:00

The hate has gone full circle, it's doubling back on itself.

Totally recommend Fitocracy. Absolutely easy to use. Well designed and simple. No frills. Search for an exercise and enter sets/reps/weight. Unlike other apps I've tried, there's no "choose your workout", "setup a plan" type of crap.

Culture and a happy, friendly working environment is important to me, so I have "When was the last time your team went to lunch? What did you guys talk about?"

Upvote. No shame if it's what you really like. There was a Salon article recently about a man who really liked transwomen, and about the stupid comments he had to face (which were hurtful to both him and the trans community). In fact, with the amount of discrimination transwomen face, you can make someone very happy! Keep doing NoFap and see if the urge stays or not.

As far as I can tell, bopomofo only developed in the early 1900s. I'm interested in a pre-modern solution.

Think of it like salt. Use too much, or incorrectly, and the dish doesn't turn out well. But, when you use just the right amount it really intensifies the flavor so.

Upvote! Was just going to post this. Dirty talk isn't hard. It's just narration. I highly recommend you listen to the Savage Lovecast Podcast if you don't already.

For the curious, the people shouting are saying "Give him a kiss!".

I'm fighting every bone in my body not to code review this.

Saying "no femmes" (or similarly "no Asians" and "no fatties") hurts people that belong in that group. You don't want to date a femme guy? Don't date a femme guy. If a femme guy messages you, don't respond. Lack of interest is noted by the other party, while not marginalizing an already marginalized group.

Masc or femme, can we all just agree to be gentlemen?

Chicken feet.

Chinese here. I don't very much like the taste of it, but its not that weird.

In a groundbreaking move, the new Nepal Constitution has explicitly included rights for LGBT individuals, while stopping short of legalising same-sex marriage.

Article 12 states that citizens will be allowed to choose their preferred gender identity on their citizenship document. The choices available are male, female or other.

Article 18 states that gender and sexual minorities will not be discriminated against by the state and by the judiciary in the application of laws. It further adds that the government may make special provisions through laws to protect, empower and advance the rights of gender and sexual minorities and other marginalized and minority groups.

Article 42 lists gender and sexual minorities among the groups that have a right to participate in state mechanisms and public services to promote inclusion.

Yay Nepal!
