Or maybe black women, used to being shuffled off, don’t report the crimes. And maybe, just maybe, black men or more often convicted of crimes than white men. Just saying. I know there are studies to support both of these hypotheses.

You can also use a pumice stone to wear them off as they develop so they never get to razor blade level.

Rented a bounce house for mine. And a cotton candy machine. People still talk about it.

You can’t change a habit in one day. You stumbled with a Big Mac... dust off your knees and try to make a better decision for the next meal.

If you haven’t listened to the video Derek Chauvin filmed of Cooper calling the police, you should. It is so disturbing. She knew exactly what she was doing. I heard it on the radio, without seeing the video and it was just so chilling.

This is probably about Amy Cooper, who was walking her dog in Central Park when a man who was bird watching asked her to leash her dog (as was required in the area). She refused and had a fit telling him that she would call the police and tell them there was an African American man threatening her. She calls the police and suddenly is breaking down sobbing about the black man threatening her all the will choking her dog as she drags it around. But the man she was threatening was recording the whole thing and it’s pretty horrifying. It sorta went viral and she lost her job and her dog over the matter.

This brings up a good point. You could fit a lot of stuff under a skirt like that.
Thanks but that isn’t really relevant to my lifestyle choices! 3 comments

There have been suggestions that the presence of toxins in paints is to blame for some of the erratic behavior exhibited by artists (e.g. Van Gogh’s ear). Many artists crushed and mixed their own pigments and was/is not uncommon to use your lips to smooth the tip of the brush.
In addition to the blue of cobalt and bright white of lead, cadmium makes a lovely red, barium a yellow, mercuric sulfide also red or orange, chromium oxide a green... so many lovely pigments from beautiful toxins.

Oh! Because we think that planned parenthood is all about abortion and disregard the life-saving health services it provides (predominantly impoverished) women!
I could probably enjoy the joke if it weren’t that so many people really believe that.

Why is planned parenthood involved?

This seems like the sort of thing that doesn’t need a gender split. I’ll admit, I’m not a real gamer so maybe there’s nuance that sets one gender at an advantage over the other... but I feel like it is not so.

When I was young I got a betta. My mom asked me what I wanted to name it and I said Mister Betta! She wouldn’t let me name it that, because it sounded too much like another word (which she wouldn’t tell me, but that I would get some day).
Well, now I get it, but I’m still irritated. Mister Betta was a good name for him.

I notice they are slightly different, and I imagine the Japanese version uses the traditional character, whereas most who speak Chinese use simplified characters. Simplified Chinese was introduced in the 1950s. I think the borrowed characters that the Japanese use are all traditional Chinese characters. (Also used in Taiwan)

Yeah. They share some characters. So in this case the first character (黑 hei in Chinese) is the part of the word that describes black specifically (which is the part that is written the same) and the second character (色 se) is what describes it as a color (e.g. red is 红色,Hong se; blue is 蓝,lan se; etc). I imagine it is the same for Japanese.
I am fascinated by these shared characters that are written the same but sound different.
