philolzophy asked: Ha. The INFP description was especially accurate bc I'm an INFP and I wrote it. I've noticed some weird aesthetic things about them, like we hate clutter unless its books or pictures or something, and the bed thing.

INFP- Why you want one: They’ll read you poetry and rub your back while you fall asleep, they have the most comfortable beds. Spoiler Alert: May suffocate you with intensity. May cry during a commercial for McDonald’s. Where to find one: Getting existential at some dive bar with a small but intense...
Al Jazeera English Blacked Out Across Most Of U.S. →
hitrecordjoe:
We Americans are giving the Egyptian government shit for trying to block information. Meanwhile, American cable companies refuse to offer this world-renowned news source, which would be the best place on TV for us to see what’s going on over there.
One of the guitar players for my old band worked as a camera operator for Al-Jazeera English for a few years. He had to quit...
The Democrats Who Support HR3
sadydoyle:
So, yeah: That “let’s redefine rape, and pass the Hyde Amendment into law, and also your insurance won’t cover abortion any more, and also, REDEFINE RAPE” act? The “No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Even Though There Basically Wasn’t Any Already, But At Least We Can Save $50K on Rape Survivors Act?”
Some Democrats sponsored it. THIS IS A VERY PRECISE SORT OF BUMMER, OF WHICH I BUT...

This quote illustrates one of the main problems I see with capitalism as it exists in the United States today—we turn things that a rational society would normally want to see become less necessary into for-profit growth industries. We then create a situation...
Lower Costs and Better Care for Neediest Patients →
If Camden, New Jersey, becomes the first American community to lower its medical costs, it will have a murder to thank. At nine-fifty on a February night in 2001, a twenty-two-year-old black man was shot while driving his Ford Taurus station wagon through a neighborhood on the edge of the Rutgers University campus. The victim lay motionless in the street beside the open door on the driver’s...

Knowing Coves: Third World Protest as US Spectator Sport
zuky:
I’m not a fan of the US cultural habit of turning political turmoil in faraway lands into a gawkworthy spectator sport. I came to this realization in the aftermath of the 1989 protests in Tiananmen Square, as it gradually dawned on me that sheltered, largely clueless people who had no stake in what was happening had...

…mainly because it seems a little too easy.
Instead of engaging with points of view that are challenging to yours (or just even working from a very different perspective), instead of looking within yourself to see how you’re perpetuating and practicing discrimination and harm, all you have to do is pick out a word and go “Ableist! Classist! XYZist!” and dismiss the...

An interview with Evva Pryror, a social worker and consultant to Miss Rand’s law firm of Ernst, Cane, Gitlin and Winick verified that on Miss Rand’s behalf she secured Rand’s Social Security and Medicare payments which Ayn received under the name of Ann O’Connor (husband Frank O’Connor).
As Pryor said, “Doctors cost a lot more money than books earn and she could be...
Taco Bell update:
Because I know you were all wondering.
I really did go to eat at Taco Bell right after that last post about it. I didn’t eat the seasoned beef, though—they have this new “Quad Steak Burrito” which is advertised as being the biggest burrito they’ve ever served. I decided to order it out of curiosity—I’m the sort of person who feels the need to try every...

False analogy - pop music is not harmful in the way alcohol is. Also, it takes more discernment to recognize the good in things than to reject them. As a species, we hate what we don’t understand.
Your point about alcohol being harmful is certainly true and I’m the first one to admit it, but...
“Rape is only really rape if it involves force. So says the new House Republican...”
– And, yes, this is going on.
Let’s outline, one more time, the reasons why requiring “force” as a part of legally defined rape is a bad idea, hey? Because there are many. And let’s skip right past the part where many rapes would no longer be defined as such (I’m… really not sure how you redefine...

So far I’ve been working on this project for a day and a half, and I still have somewhere between 800 and 1200 emails to look at. I’ve found dozens of digital promos I was sent that I never reviewed and quite a few opportunities that I missed due to being too busy with other things.
I need to get organized and stay that way. Hopefully this will work.
