Seriously? People wear kimonos because they're comfortable or because they're participating in an activity of Japanese origin where it's traditionally worn. Nobody puts on blackface because a heavy layer of greas is comfortable, and I'm sure wearing blackface to an African American event would start a riot.

Unlike simply wearing a kimono, though, deliberately and publicly mocking a race shows extremely poor judgment and a strong probability of bias against that race. Not appropriate for a public official.

Something that keeps getting swept under the rug: this wasn't some 18-19-year-old college freshman in his first year away from mommy and daddy, figuring out how much stupid stuff he could get away with. He was 25, which is not a kid by any definition, and in med school, having finished college three years earlier: he became a frickin' doctor the same year as the yearbook in question. Quite a bit worse than dragging up Kavanaugh's high school yearbook. And sure; times were different then, but in 1984, segregation and the era of making racist jokes freely in public without fear of consequences was already decades in the past. Heck, Northam was five years old when the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was passed. It, and racism in general should have been a major topic in any government or current events study well into his high school years.

Or save them for actual violent crimes. Even for murder it's near impossible to get more than a 20 year sentence in a lot of places, and I can think of two first degree murderers who got only 10, (and could have gotten as little as five) yet our prisons are full of people serving 5-50 year sentences for drugs.

Just imagine the day after they identify a GLBTQEIEIO gene that can be detected in-utero. As soon as people start making the connection between identifying the fetus and abortions being readily available and societally accepted as birth control...

No, Troi was an imbecile with the observational skills of a room-temperature carrot. "Counselor, what can you tell us about the beings who just blew up half our ship?" "I sense anger, Captain."

https://www.rei.com/product/876179/reliance-luggable-loo-portable-toilet How you package it for shipping is up to you. Just make sure it's never within 100 miles of anything I've ordered.

One would hope, but I've found a crisp $20 in the pocket of a $4.25 shirt.

Do these guys not know about Goodwill? (Yeah, seriously; I was in one a couple weeks ago that had a few pairs of underwear on the shelf not in any sort of wrapper. Considering how cheap their still-wrapped surplus/seconds/whatever ones are, I didn't bother to check the used prices.)

150 years of government meddling heavily in education has gotten us to 86% basic literacy, after all. The War on Drugs has us 87% clean for only $650 billion a year. I'm sure they can rush it along and keep costs down for vaccines.

Tasteless and pale...seems like eating rice would border on cannibalism for engineers.

Effectively, they are; Earth. I have a piece of fabric I received yesterday. By some quirk of USPS's package handling, it was in LA the day before. Halfway across the country, sealed in a Tyvek bag where no sterilization process could do anything for the contents, delivered in about 18 hours. Any microbe that can survive a day outside a host might as well be everywhere on the planet at once.

They conveniently don't quantify "milder" or "less likely." CDC is supposed to be using real scientific data, so where are the actual numbers? Of course they're also not saying "we're a marginally useful organization mainly created to absorb tax dollars and get quail to make porn on cocaine." That would hurt their funding. Then who would pay them millions to study fat lesbians? Yeah, the same Great and Holy "We" declared a lot of things about interstate commerce, abortion, gender and marriage that don't hold much water either.

Uh, 3% isn't "very few" in immunology terms. Only marketing terms. Do the math; 3% of the US population is about 10 million people. They're saying that even if every single person in the US was vaccinated we could still have an outbreak that would make 14th century Europe look tame by comparison.

As I understand it, they'd still get paid for the furlough time up until the actual RIF. Of course, with the exception of active duty military, they're all free to go get a job somewhere else at any time.

I've had plenty of fit people fall on me (some with quite a lot of help) without serious injury to myself. However, a 350+ pound person would be a much more significant risk. Therefore morbidly obese people should be incarcerated and forced to lose weight for my safety.

Now imagine going to a "community Thanksgiving service" that consists of two hours of these from all over a tri-county area.

They're required to pull from the same "talent" pool that Baptists get their "praise" bands from.

And if everyone cares by Sunday morning, then by Monday afternoon there will be mass protests and lawsuits over the discrimination against atheists and LGBTQEIEIO.

Now, now. Let's call Talcum X by the name he's earned.

I hereby sentence you to watch all Bibleman episodes.

Yes, but you also giggled uncontrollably when they shot Ol' Yeller. Sicko.

Anyone reciting the Nicene Creed while everyone else is on the Apostles' Creed is going to look pretty dumb anyway as they're still rambling on for 2-3 minutes after everybody else finishes. (Not that these people don't exist - senile dementia knows no denominational bounds.) Can we also have the author and "editor" identified? This kind of intentionally divisive writing and refusal to do even the most basic research is exactly what any anti-Mormon site loves to point to. "Guest author" reeks of some not-a-guest wanting to remain anonymous because it knew exactly how bad its article was and hoped nobody would point that out.

Ah yes, the testimonies prompted by the Holy Script. Always wondered if these people read that part about vain repetitions.

He's going to be in the middle either way. Guaranteed, she's already justified her behavior in her own mind, and anything that happens will be the fault of everyone else involved.
