It's not, and that's a bullshit response. No woman is saying "a man glanced at me and I felt harassed". They're asking not to be groped, not to have kisses forced on them, not to be raped. This "simply looking&

You know, it's not even about you. If there were an epidemic of men in public spaces bullying other, smaller men, I'd be saying the same thing in a different context. People who look like you, if there's a lot of them being a

Just cook your own food for a few months and you develop enough knife skills to never look back. I don't even have fancy knives--ever--I buy the $3 knives from the Asian grocery store. They dull after a few months, and sometimes I sha

I didn't cook, but then I started learning how, and the way was.. actually, I thought of things I liked to eat out at restaurants, and decided to try to make them at home. Fast forward a year, and I can now cook almost everything more

You see a guy making a creepy move, you call him out. Simple as that. You don't know if it's "working" because she's trying to keep him at ease til she can dash for the door, or why. See shitty, harassing, abusive

The point they're trying to make is that, unless it very specifically happens to you or happens in the really flagrant way described in the post... it probably happens but you're not aware of it . That's the take-away from

Again, you assume these gunshot victims were gang members. You don't know shit about these gunshot victims but in your mind "gunshot victim = gang member". Do you honestly really think that everyone who has been shot and take

Ok, fair, that's good, I think we probably agree more than disagree then. I guess my take on it is that the handful of Ricks I've seen, they all wanted to position themselves as irreplaceable, as kings of the project. For them it

"If a person with teardrop / neck tattoos shows up with a gunshot wound" Again, you don't know a single thing about the gunshot victims wheeled through the ER the night I was there. You keep bringing up gang imagery, or

Neither you nor I know who was shot or why. I didn't mention "gang bangers" and it's offensive and stupid of you to bring that up. And you obviously haven't thought one bit about the very common situation where som

Eh, I've joined 3 or 4 projects where there was a "genius" behind it. They liked being in control, and to a one they all talked about being irreplaceable. I don't know Rick, of course, and can't speculate on what&#x

That is ridiculous on so many levels. Several years ago, I had my gallbladder out in an emergency surgery. I was in intense, intense pain. My friends worried I was having a heart attack. They drove me to the hospital, because I could bar

What really irks me with that particular sentiment (the land is historic/already in use) is how the federal highway system absolutely decimated communities of color in a lot of major cities. They'd put a highway right through wher

3 and a half hours is way faster than driving. And for the comfort of being on a train? Worth it!

It's a great idea and I can't wait to see more high speed rail built all across the country. We've already criss-crossed uncountable acres of historic, sentimental (what?? really??) land with roads, both local the state&#x2F

Really? Who's come out ahead for going public with Julian Assange having raped them? Which of the two women at the center of his swedish rape case has achieved political gain?

If middle America wants to blame someone for the changes that have hit rural life in the last 50 years, they'd do better than to look at Silicon Valley. Uber isn't the reason Big Ag took over the family farm, and Google isn't

There's also the fact that there just aren't that many coal jobs to begin with. Here's one link, you can find lots more: www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2017/03/31/8-surprisingly-small-i

I don't see at all how this makes the laws "total failures". You're asking the emissions testing people to: believe that random guy X is going to keep his car, that he's only going to use it for one short trip a da

I have to admit, your reply here is actually making me laugh more than your original "what about water??". I don't know if it's intentional, but thanks for making my morning better. :)

I'd like to second the gluten thing, as an unexpected behavioral change that changed my life immeasurably. I was told to cut wheat down to 10% max of my diet, under very strange circumstances (not going to go into it here; it was weird

Haha, I just have to comment that this is the funniest whataboutism I've ever seen: "Nicotine is bad for you." "What about water??"

Welcome to being a human. Collectivism is built in. No man is an island and all that. The question worth exploring is how to balance individual and collective needs. Using "collectivism" as a pejorative gets us nowhere.

Fine. Public transit usually loses money, too. I'm OK with all of that, because they're public goods, they're things that make life better for everyone in the city/county/region/country. I don't expect g

Yeah, no kidding. We live in this era where people with all kinds of handicaps can engage more and more with society in so many ways. Wheelchairs and the building standards that open places up to access. Phones that can speak to you and pa

Why shouldn't public businesses be accessible to people without a working pair of legs? ADA compliance is all about opening up freedom to more people. It's the coolest thing in the world to see some quadroplegic dude in a wheel

Shit, man. If "financing things I don't like with my taxes" is the hill I'm going to die on, I'm going to set my sights on the insane military budget we use to turn far-away countries into toilets and parking lots.

Maybe you would, and you know what? Good for you if you do. Just about everyone I know would start a business, volunteer, do creative things, contribute to making the world a better place. But, at the end of the day, I don't care how
