College had better highs, but also worse lows for me. High school was the most consistently "good", with freshman and senior (post-college acceptances) years being great.

Middle school was the lamest period of my life though.

Why don't the White and Asian men just work harder to get those jobs? People just want everything handed to them these days.

I'm assuming you're calling Fate "Rogue One" since it's the one where Dom goes rogue.

what happened to Gen Y?

Gen Y is the millennial generation.

'92 here and I agree. I've always felt 1982-2000 was the millennial gen.

Among the measures used to evaluate states' natural environments are drinking water quality, air quality and total toxic chemical pollution per square. The ranking also considers how much each state puts its citizens at risk for long-term, chronic health effects from pollution.

Social environment, on the other hand, investigates how involved people are in their communities. Two of the measures, community engagement and social support, are based on surveys where people shared how often they participate in community events and how often they spend time with family members, friends and work colleagues.

What kinda bullshit methodology is this?

Well, I don't believe anybody is 100% a dick.

For actual food and drinks, yeah.
For stuff like ingredients or kitchen supplies, not at all.

wow

Yeah, I had a lot of problems with the wording on some of those questions. I feel like I could've been more to the left economically had I not answered so many "unsures"

Actually, water isn't wet. Water makes things wet, but in and of itself it can't be wet. Who the hell calls water wet? Nobody. And that's why water can't be wet.

That's. Hilarious.

I'm really sorry to hear that, TC. I don't know if this helps or if you've already tried contacting RAINN, but here's the link anyway:

I really do hope you pull through, my man. Just talking about it here was really helpful.

Naahhhhhh.

Loads of single mothers do right by their kids.
Lesbian mothers also do right by their kids.
Kids with both parents in their lives can still end up pretty shitty.

If anything, not having a father in the home can be a symptom of other issues can can affect a child's upbringing.

No, we need to increase the number of drunk drivers.

If everybody is a drunk driver, they'll be swerving all over the place. This would make stuff like roads obsolete, which means drivers have more space to drive, which means it'll be easier to avoid crashing into other drivers!

So basically, school shootings aren't an epidemic, but some of the legislation being proposed to prevent them are good ideas and turning schools into max-security fortresses is bad. Got it.

So basically, you can't read.

Fox said, however, some policy changes aimed at decreasing school shootings and gun violence in general certainly have merit. Banning bump stocks and raising the age of purchase for assault rifles from 18 to 21 are good ideas, and may lead to a decrease in overall gun violence, he said. But he doesnt believe these measures will prevent school shootings. The thing to remember is that these are extremely rare events, and no matter what you can come up with to prevent it, the shooter will have a workaround, Fox said, adding that over the past 35 years, there have been only five cases in which someone ages 18 to 20 used an assault rifle in a mass shooting.

Fridel said increasing mental health resources for students is another strategy that might improve school safety, calling this a critical need that has been historically overlooked. She also said that the U.S. is facing a desperate shortage of guidance counselors. In 2014-15, the student-to-school counselor ratio was 482-to-1, according to the American School Counselor Association, nearly twice the organizations recommended ratio.

You might have students in a very large school who are troubled but who are basically flying under the radar, because you have one guidance counselor for 400 students, Fridel said.

...
After the Columbine High School shooting in 1999, schools across the country began holding active shooter drills in which they huddled together in a corner or hid under their desks. Such exerciseswhich may include someone walking around pretending to shoot studentscan be very traumatic, Fridel said, and there is no evidence that they help protect students. These measures just serve to alarm students and make them think its something thats common, she said.

Other safety precautions, such as installing metal detectors and requiring ID cards for entry, have also proven ineffective in past school shootings.

In addition to being ineffective, Fox said increased security measures of these kinds can do more harm than good. He called the suggestion to arm teachers absurd and over the top.Im not a big fan of making schools look like fortresses, because they send a message to kids that the bad guy is coming for youif were surrounding you with security, you must have a bulls-eye on your back, Fox said. That can actually instill fear, not relieve it.

I'm sorry, who can't read?

This basically boils down to the difference between sexual assault and sexual misconduct, the latter which I think this was.

I know Lewinsky's not saying Bill raped her, but she's well within her right to say their relationship wasn't purely consensual when she was a staffer and he was the president of the United States.

I just think it's important that she's voicing her doubts, because it's an important conversation to have. These things happen all the time, and they're gonna keep happening unless we have a thorough discussion on the matter.

This James Bennet guy seems to follow the idea that being liberal means you have to accept everybody's viewpoints and experiences no matter what.

This is A) a general principle that everyone should follow, not just liberals, and B) bullshit, because some viewpoints are actually bad and don't advance us as a species.
