Interesting! I must say I never considered it. My kia soul EV was heavy but handled very well. Loved that thing.

Monster. I won't eat anything that casts a shadow. It's not hard, perils are just lazy murderers.

What makes that spec a priority for you?

Well yeah, there are two types of people in the world: Americans and Not-Americans. So these Not-American teenagers would certainly be fully aware of the current political climate in America.

I'll scream it at anyone who will listen - I'm old enough to remember when comedy and tragedy were two separate things.

They need to work on the return policy if they want to be like Amazon. It's well within 30 days.

(I am so sorry I use comedy to survive the daily mental assaults)

Good on you for making that change, and having empathy for others.

Idiot has the same entomology as retard though, does it not? As does stupid? They all start as medical diagnoses and then assholes turn them to slurs and then the medical field refines and renames and things start to repeat.

We had special education class, Special Ed, for kids struggling in certain ways, so if course the shitty kids would call kids "sp-ed" because of course they would.

I'm not sure when the line gets crossed or if we should have gone back or what, but retard, to me, has a very particular connotation that is useful for describing certain people's actions. I don't do it any more because I'd rather live in a peaceful society that fosters respect, but it is one of those things I "don't get"

Thank you for trying to explain this. I found the original blog empty and unhelpful. Lots of nerd words but no substance. I understand more from your post than that blog now.

Oh Allen Turner? Who started using his middle name instead of Brock Turner? Because he raped an unconscious woman behind a dumpster? That guy? (Brock/Allen Turner?)

I just want to be sure I'm thinking of the right guy...

Her lawyer hasn't talked to her, but we know who to ask. Where would we be if the camera hadn't captured the kidnapping? Missing student?
