No word on whether they help prevent heart attacks, like cats.

Your challenge: Find a Microsoft employee who’s a Republican. (Hey, if it were easy, anybody could do it, right?)

In short, parents are correct to think that they can change their children. Their mistake is to suppose that the change will endure. Instead of thinking of kids as lumps of clay that parents “mold,” we should think of kids as plastic that flexes in response to pressure – and springs back to its original shape once the pressure goes away.
So I guess the solution is to press harder.

Read it.
Languages such as German, Spanish, Swedish, or Italian are also acceptable, but are considered to be poor substitutes (especially Spanish). At the time of writing, it is still considered expert-level white person behavior to have white children speaking Asian and African languages.

It’s a pretty good idea because when you have jokes that aren’t that great and music that isn’t that great, you can mix them together and create something that will entertain white people.

You know who you are.
Up until this point, white people were consuming most of their water in the form of expensive bottles like Fiji, Aquafina and Dasanai. To this day, many white people continue to get their water in this fashion, and it is important to be aware about how your choice of water can say a lot about who you are.

In general, any proposed legislation that contains “Consumer Protection” and “Community Empowerment” in the title is a scam. In this case, it’s an attempt to buy votes by kicking phone companies, whom nobody likes anyway.

Only non-Westerners, apparently. Of course, this is the New Yorker….
Steve Sailer has some thoughts on the subject.
You just have to have the Times Table pounded into your head over and over as a kid, but our education system is against “rote learning,” so school kids aren’t usually forced to chant them like in the good old days. But kids actually kind of like rote learning. (It’s adults who hate learning that way, and especially hate teaching that way.) Kids like singing the alphabet song, for instance. You’d think educators would find a times table rap that today’s children would like.
Indeed.
