As pro-pet adoption as I am, there was a really interesting article on Slate a little while ago about why so many rescue organizations are actually driving people directly to puppy mills, breeders, pet shops, and Craigslist. Basically: a lot of their adoption requirements are completely insane.
It's actually her arm and shoulder, covered by a sports bra. Not that it makes it a lot better.
Out of curiosity, what gave you the impression that Jez was a feminist site? It's never advertised or touted itself as such. I've been reading since the launch and I've never quite understood why so many people have this notion.
WAS an elected official.
By any chance, do you have any idea what the English translation of the narration is? I mean, I've got a pretty good sense of what's happening, but actually knowing how they're analyzing it would be helpful.
How did I not know such things existed?! God bless you for opening my eyes to a whole new dining experience!
That's what I thought, too. Kind of like the (wonderful) cookbook What We Eat When We Eat Alone.
Exactly. My boyfriend and I had this discussion during the NFL's disgusting pink-pandering in October. If you want to save women's lives from horrible cancers, there are more deadly options to research. But cervixes and ovaries just aren't as sexy as tits. Or go to heart disease. Or just support women's health in general. But nope...tits!
I'm not sure I have a good response, but the whole thing gets complicated when you start to unpack the issues. Which system is best for each individual survivor? Which system is best for each type of complaint? Is there a difference between an informal complain, a formal complaint, and a legal complaint? Which complaints have to be reported by the school under the Clery Act, and does that influence how much pressure the school puts on the complaining student? And...I'm not actually certain why we (in general) seem to distinguish schools' complaint policies from business' sexual harassment/assault policies. Or why we think of this differently than a non-student choosing not to report their assaults to police.
Thank you. I don't like the assumption in the article or the comments that he's been accused of rape. "Sexual assault" includes a whole slew of violations and it's possible we're over-accusing him here.
Eh...she could have turned down the role if she thought it would be awkward or emotionally painful.
That's not exactly what an outlier is, or how one handles unusual data, but problematic if it's occurring in research nonetheless.
I'd argue that Gingrich isn't *actually* that smart. He's just what stupid people think smart people sound like.
Even a broken clock is right twice a day. Just because he's a decent human being in some respects doesn't mean that his personal version of Christianity isn't misogynist and anti-feminist, or that he isn't a mediocre football player.
Thank you for this perspective. I've been getting really tired of the "blame football/sports culture for this tragedy" game that's permeated a lot of the conversation about this scandal. It's not football's fault that this happened; people become irrationally obsessed with all sorts of institutions and traditions. it just happened to occur within the context of college football this time around.
My boyfriend just asked a really good question: what would she think *is* racist? Okay, lady, you don't think this is racism...what, exactly, would it take in your mind, for something to be racist? Must it involve white robes and a burning cross?
But what you're describing isn't homeopathy. People are tossing that term around a lot on this post to defend alternative medicine, in particular the use of herbs or plant-based medicines for certain minor issues and ailments. But that's not what homeopathy actually is, and to perpetuate the idea that homeopathy has any effectiveness over a placebo is dangerous and non-scientific.
Seriously. It looks exactly like Hitler.
Actually, violent offenders in general are less likely to be repeat offenders. Those who commit property crimes or crimes against justice (e.g., obstruction) are the most likely to re-offend.
Even if it's available where they live, Americans don't want to read when they're watching a movie (in general). And I don't necessarily think that's a bad thing. Many people use movies as a form of "dumb" entertainment and reading (even just dialogue) detracts from that kind of escape.
