I like foods of various kinds, doing endurance sports to make me hungry for said foods, all the various footballs, and nerdy things

Anti-trans hate groups petitioning FDA for registry of trans women, crackdown on transition, newly revealed document shows In the short term, this is not as dangerous as an outright ban on estrogen. If implemented and then combined with other methods of suppressing trans people, it might be far more destructive in the lon...

Be sure to file a comment with the FDA on the petition, using the link at the end of the article!

A top sign of car brain is refusing to let a 14-year-old ride transit alone but allowing a 16-year-old to drive a car. The perception of risk is completely misaligned with actual data.

Two undeniable truths: 1) violent crime on transit is very rare and 2) teenagers are horrible drivers.

I have questions about what Chili's believes their values are because queso and baby back ribs and fajitas and pretty decent burgers at the airport have no gender

But many people, possibly up to all people, do not intuitively grasp the levels of heat required by actual good cooking; their approach to cooking techniques such as frying and searing and sautΓ©ing, consciously or otherwise, is to aim for the lowest possible level of heat that will cook their food, based on the misapprehension that by slowing things down they can avoid mistakes, like how a driver following directions on an unfamiliar highway will go slow so as not to zoom by their exit. This has the effect of treating their stove like it is a vengeful mountaintop god or a dragon snoozing lightly atop a pile of treasure: You creep up to it, only as near as you absolutely must get, to grab what you need and scurry away before it smites you.

Yep. I think it's as simple as that. It's similar to the rationale we think why Claudius invaded Britain. He just needed a military victory early in his rule

Stupid imperial politics with no rationale beyond big strong status

If you're not mature enough to tell your kids "sometimes boys like boys" you're not mature enough to be a parent

Anti-Semites have agency so I don't want to let them off the hook but at the same time the groups that were supposed to enforce the cordon sanitaire blew their credibility on attacking a guy who went to more bar mitzvahs than most of us as an anti-Semite.

I simply ask for one Purdue basketball player, of either gender, to be able to shoot free throws. Is that too much to ask
