I haven't heard people say that from their mouths but I've seen it a lot online. It was really bad when that one actress' nude pictures got leaked and no one could loving shut up about how if she didn't want her pictures out on the internet she shouldn't have taken them in the first place.

They stopped saying that at around the time that police officers started opposing accountability devices such as mandatory body cameras.

Black people get a surprisingly bad rap all over the world, at least in my experience. My own dad, who's of Chinese/Malay/Indonesian heritage, said pretty much the same thing.

The other was more of an abstract idea (it was the thesis of an article I read) which I will condense into an approximate summary: "Women and people of colour should absolutely not vote for Bernie Sanders; Bernie Sanders appeals inordinately to white working class males, and they are the Donald Trump constituency."
"

i saw this article posted as well on facebook with the typical " it makes alot of good points" declaration and it made no good posts. that and the article voting for bernie is a vote for trump because its literal logic is that people are too stupid to make up their minds between bernie and donald trump

Okay this might sound creepy and I PROMISE IT IS NOT MEANT in a creepy way in the slightest.
I just noticed (after looking at the picture for a while not knowing what was throwing me off about the otherwise cute squish squish baby) that babies does not have nipples.
And honestly it is too late for me to realise something like that and I googled it and to no avail and just please someone explain why small humans lack nipples because my mind is exploding right now I thought we were born with the and now apparently we are not and?????

I mean, you're not necessarily wrong. It's not like RBG will show up with a lead pipe if you don't follow a decision, as fun as that might have been in the case of Kim Davis. It just seems like it would be silly to go on about it as more than an offhand sort of remark, because barring some sort of complete meltdown of the system everyone respects that Marbury v. Madison is a thing and SCOTUS gets the final say in interpretation of the laws of the United States.

Yes, but when a court says "put this guy in jail, he's guilty", the police do it.

If everyone in the police decided to suddenly stop doing their job and ignore the law, then yeah the court's decisions would go unenforced. But that's not really something that's going to happen.

Yeah, the court doesn't have a cadre of dudes that go out and, like, actually do stuff. That's mostly the executive branch. IIRC Andrew Jackson defied the court on something and said "neener neener what are you going to do about it." Something about Indians probably.

Whenever I see something like that I want to sincerely ask where their information comes from. The concept of dinosaurs antedates fossils? What? Did she even go to like, one dinosaur museum exhibit before making that video? Did she read even one book? Or did she just sit around going "grr dinosaurs" while avoiding getting tainted by the vile palentological propaganda and think about it until she had some kind of argument which seemed coherent in her head before writing down her diagram on a napkin.
