Listen, don't tell anybody, but I've got a real boob fetish.

Apparently Nex started the fight by pouring water on them. Hard to believe that someone might lash out that way if there wasn't a history of bullying though.

If only!

Seriously. They still don't have a way to increase the font size on the default app last I checked. How is such a basic feature STILL lacking?

I have some bad news to tell you about capitalism

You can soften "a black" or "a Chinese" entirely by adding "person" to the end of it. English is weird.

No. I don't do any of this stuff and it has never occurred to me to do it.

Yeah and the yelling and cajoling is generally part of the process. It's often a raucous affair.

I never once saw an electric kettle until I was an adult. Then again, I'm from Idaho.

I've timed it with my kettle and it's literally the same time to boil one cup.

I'd interpret "next Saturday" as the one on the 11th, and "this Saturday" as the one on the 4th.

Well, healthcare and other benefits aren't likely to account for the discrepancy, as pretty much all teachers get benefits (with the exception of adjuncts at the university level, who are absolutely fucked).

Seattle is a leftist town, despite all the big corpos that employ a lot of us. And Washington is a fairly social democratic state, for somewhere in America, at least. It's pretty nice.

Do you realize that this is commentary, not news? It's supposed to be offering opinion. That's the whole point.

Water in the microwave. Cheap Lipton tea bag for five mins. A little cashew milk. It's fine.

The idea that you'd vote for those candidates and then Trump after seeing what a Trump term looks like is laughable. It just demonstrates that you're either lying or have no principles whatsoever.

The American left is furious at Biden for the same reason we're angry at pretty much any President's foreign policy. We've opposed most of the interventions and support for dictators that presidents in the latter half of the twentieth century up to today have engaged in. But we have never been the majority, and haven't had the power to stop them. It's important to remember that about a third of the US is composed or pretty reasonable, pro-peace social democrats. The problem is that another third are "moderates" that are okay with empire as long as we pretend we're being nice, and the last third are maniacal religious fascists.

Your comment is pretty reasonable but I don't think you're misinterpreting the criticism of Biden here. The US is and has been supplying Israel with virtually unlimited arms and support for decades now. This support has come with very few strings attached. Biden could easily make aid contingent on many of the things you mention, and it would put the Israeli government in a real bind, forcing them to make concessions that their right wing doesn't want to make. Biden isn't being blamed for the whole conflict, and isn't expected to fix it on his own. But he's got a lot of leverage that he refuses to use in the interests of peace. This same problem recurs with basically every president, as AIPAC's influence on the American government is substantial.

Probably very few. The bias for these companies is in false negatives, not false positives, since false positives create controversy when students appeal a ruling.

Badly. This burns my laziest students every semester. Chatgpt just adds nonsense citations.
