The story from the prison, per NYT, is that the guards were supposed to check on him every 30 minutes, but didn't because of short staff. The DOJ, FBI, and BoP are going to investigate.

One of my exgirlfriends is Mormon, and literally all she talked about was getting married. Marriage is such a foreign concept to me that I really can't ever see myself doing it.

I know what it's like when somebody calls off, so I try not to subject my coworkers to that. For me, it's not about the company, but about the other staff members who will have to pick up my slack.

You write allegedly to protect yourself from libel. Unless a person has been legally said to have done something, you can't say they categorically have without being susceptible to libel.

Honestly, most along the border don't want a wall. I tried to post the URLs for three news articles from three Texas-based sources about it, but I can't for some reason. The Fort Worth Star-Telegram, The Texas Tribune, and the Texas Observer all have pieces about it.

Every single one of my friends sees a therapist. They joke about it and share their stories.

Exactly. If this is something they normally do and refused to do it because of the customers gender identification then that would be an issue. They didn't do it because of safety issues, then that's not a problem at all.

No they can't because that's an essentially stupid take that unklethan is using just to cause a reaction.

That's a good job using one issue to invalidate another. Whataboutism at it's finest.

All my friends are women, and I've had girlfriends who have had a hard time with that.

Michel Foucault boils down the history of the penal system in the book "Discipline and Punish." In it, he shows that that prisons have had two essential functions: one, to show the criminal that what they did was an egregious breach of societies rules and regulations; and two, to experiment new ways to punish the population as a whole. The penal system shows the states power and its ability to punish the people when and how it sees fit.

It's funny how people grow this hatred of athletes based solely on their jobs. When alls said and done, Lebron will be the apex of sport, both on and off the court.

If people want fewer abortions, there are two things that will do that: education and contraception.
