I recently watched a vice video about how HBCUs are starting to accept more people of other races. The rep from the college said it was purely for financial reasons. It was a pretty good documentary. Link to article (It has autoplay enabl

This is a really good point. The usage of the term really ads clarity to it's usage. You guys - gender neutral. The guys - gender specific. I think a lot of people who are annoyed by the term guys don't like the fact that there i

This is fantastic advice. I have the same issue with my 5 year old. Sometimes no means no and sometimes it means, no but I actually want you to tickle me. This is a good policy and I'll be using it going forward. It teaches clear com

That's a really good solution. Food waste is a huge problem. I think we can all agree that eating food we purchase is way better than wasting that same of food.

This is actually really good advice. I don't remember the name of the video I saw but one of the mentalities of people who do things like this is to become the "anti-hero" and that includes the infamy as well. If you are a t

You make solid arguments about getting into trades. That's a field where unions have really helped out in some ways. I know they slow things down but they have also come a long way towards making people safer on the job. L&I solv
