Through a career that has included crotch-grabbing, nudity, BDSM, Marilyn Monroe fetishizing, and a 1992 book devoted to sex, Madonna has been viewed as a feminist provocateur, pushing the boundaries of acceptable femininity. But Beyoncé’s use of her body is criticized as thoughtless and without value beyond male titillation, providing a modern example of the age-old racist juxtaposition of animalistic black sexuality vs. controlled, intentional, and civilized white sexuality.

So I’m re-reading Philosopher’s Stone and I finally notice something. The night Harry first finds the Mirror of Erised is Christmas night. Rowling wrote it so Harry gets to spend Christmas with his family.

My heart just broke

The sound I maDE WAS NOT HUMAN

Would people be as comfortable buying meat if the date the animal was KILLED was displayed alongside the ‘best before’ date? Consumers should remember that meat is the dead flesh from a once living breathing sentient animal who didn’t want to die.

actually i would feel more comfortable. it would make choosing fresher meat easier. thats a very good idea. 

when vegan ideas backfire completely

best before death - are you implying i should eat things while they’re alive and in pain?

We’re not invoking any default initialization though. I think the C++11 spec is clearer than the C++03 one here, in C++03 pod-struct types pretty much only get default-initialized by `new` expressions without an initializer and remain undefined if they show up as…

Can I but in  here and say that variables in C++11 can be initialized in the class definition?

struct Rect {
Rect() = default;
int l = 0, r = 0;
int t = 0, b = 0;
};

Explicitly defining the constructor as default isn’t even necessary, it’s just  clearer as far as I’m concerned.

Interesting trick. I need to spend more time in C++11.

You can do all sorts of cool things in C++11.

struct Rect {
Rect() = default;
//deleting functions, in this case to prevent copying
Rect(Rect&) = delete;
operator=(Rect&) = delete;
//move functions using r-values, to save time with deep copying
Rect(rect const&& rvalue) {
*this = std::move(rvalue); //can't remember if this is right
}
Rect& operator=(Rect&&);
int l = 0, r = 0;
int t = 0, b = 0;
};
This is what Yahoo paid $1.3 Billion for.

So, in the middle of everything today, we ran across a hellaciously distressed momma mallard and a bunch of her baby ducks that had fallen down a sewer grate. Another guy was already trying to fish them out, so my friend and I called animal control before we tried to fish the rest of them out. When Animal Control got there, we had all of them out and the mother duck quacking very happily. I was surprised - none of us got snapped at or hurt. I was even holding onto a bag at one point that had all of them in it and she just watched me. 

I love how the duck is perched on the guy’s butt

I’M SO HAPPY

AH GOSH this has made me so happy
what wonderful people

It’s like she understood they were helping ;;

I nearly killed myself just now.

And all my mother cares about is the car’s engine.

I know I have been harsh with you, but are you okay?

No. I would have just walked out onto the highway if my brother hadn’t stopped me. It’s terrifying, because that’s the closest I’ve ever actually come to killing myself. All this shit that blew up recently is probably to blame, and my mother’s attitude really isn’t helping.
