I am offically Not A Rascist.

Honestly that test was just kind of confusing. How is it supposed to prove anything?

I think the general idea is that if you had a subconscious bias you might be more prone to put good/bad with the little kids of one race or another and would do significantly differently when it's white/good black/bad compared to white/bad black/good.

This may be a valid tactic. In my anecdotal experience, there is an extraordinary amount of overlap between people who rabidly defend the right to keep guns, and people who want to use those guns almost exclusively to shoot minorities.

Well yeah the sane people who just shoot at targets or animals during hunting season are quiet about it.

Seems like it was a dick move to hold basically an anti-Islam event under the guise of free speech, especially since the hefty security shows they knew there was a good chance someone would attack and they could go "SEE?!"

On the other hand, it was way more of a dick move to actually attack them instead of protesting or holding a counter-event or something. Or even just ignoring it entirely.

Yeah it's a real "everyone involved in this was a dick" scenario.

It has been several years but my Reagan-loving (named his daughter after him) conservative brother-in-law has always complained about soccer and how it was a boring, Unamerican game (refuses to call it a sport). His official reasoning is that you cannot be a superstar in soccer like you can in football, basketball and baseball so it is a Communist style game.

Someone's never heard of Pele, I see.

vvv: Ehhh it's fine that we both came up with it. He's only one of the most superstar motherfuckers in the entirety of sports, after all.

I have known two girls roughly my age named Regan and a friend just named his daughter Reagan.

It's just kind of a name at this point and only terrible by association to a guy.

I cousins named Irony and Omen and so my line on "when people should be chased away from the birth certificate at gunpoint" is a little skewed though.

edit: yea I purposefully said it like that. He's able to tell how well done it is by poking at it. I'd like to learn that on my own since I think it would help a lot without overcooking something or burning it like if I'm grilling.

With clean hands.

e: You can use the finger-thumb method. Touch the meaty part of your thumb. That would be raw. Touch your forefinger and thumb of that hand together, touch the meaty part again. That's rare. Middle is medium rare, ring is medium, pinky is well-done.

Everyone does that, though. Not DEEP regrets or anything like that, but occasionally you'll see an old picture of JNCOs or parachute pants and feel a pang of shame that you ever thought those were cool.

As far as the "conservative candidates who pass anti-gay legislation are actually repressing their own homosexuality and vindictively deciding anyone else should too" goes... Honestly I find it less depressing than the alternative "they don't actually give a poo poo either way and are just exploiting something for votes" because at least then there's something human about the action instead of calculated power grabbing :smith:

Consistently bad evaluations are one thing but I don't think a couple students complaining should threaten a career, and I don't think professors should be terrified of teaching standard literature that has been taught for decades. Obviously this isn't just a made up issue because even the professor who completely disagreed with the premise of the original article thinks it's an issue, they just disagree on what the cause of the issue is.

At least partially related to the fact that the guy was an adjunct and they get treated like shiiiiiit.

I believe there's some debate on this passage but the consensus seems to be that the unpardonable sin is deliberately rejecting God. I.e., God will forgive anything except the refusal to ask for forgiveness.

Well yeah, that's a total contradiction.

Please note that for other interpretations, you end up with atheist clubs doing stupid things like giving out pizza for people to say "I deny the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost" which just seems really petty to me.

Israel has to be around for armageddon to happen. Someone called it "the bait for the Jesus trap" once and that's basically how that type of evangelical thinks about it.

The base may like him, but will there eventually come a moment where the party brass takes The Donald's ball away, tells him playtime is over, and puts forward someone else?

The magic is I have no idea! He's really terrible, but he has a bunch of support from people who just like someone who says the right weird things and is ~an outsider~. If he doesn't give up before the first primary it will be a "fun" test of how much the base has fractured.
