Why are white people Caucasians?

Amazon couldn't confirm our dumpster order. So they cancelled it and now we are scrambling to find a replacement, but everyone seems to nickle and dime us. Good times. GOOD TIMES!

I commend her mother for her years of service to this country and for wanting to actually be a mother to her one and only daughter but I'm pissed that she plans to take her 5000 miles from me just like that. And apparently according to a very good friend of mine who is a lawyer my chances for custody is nonexistent. shit without the kid here I'm afraid I won't have any reason to live on... and moving across the country to stay close to her isn't an option right now as I'm in a serious relationship and my better half refuses to leave (she's just starting her career here).

Listen man, I totally get it and have been there. I married into a ready made family my first go round. I literally raised 2 beautiful kids for 5 years, but when mine decided to cheat on me I had no parental rights or visitation despite all that for the same reasons you are running into. That being said, you have to flip it around. This is her mother's career and most likely a good opportunity for it. So I don't think she's going out of her way to take her daughter out of your life.

I've heard that ordering from them is just the pits. Outside of that, I generally like shopping at their stores. Outside of one store in my area I don't get too much heat on price matching and whatnot.

Today in my country, we honor the people who fought for our freedom in WW2 and who are continue to fight for our freedom, as well as the victims.

I am so grateful...

Wondering why two of my classes' final grades are showing up as "I" when I showed up everyday and did all the work. Both were taught by the same professor who really liked me, too. She never really communicated using the school's site so I'm hoping this is just some type of mistake.

I think it’s stupid. There is no country or continent called Caucasia, so why the name Caucasian?

Just call white people Europeans. Black people are called Africans, so why not call white people Europeans?

But if you did that then you’d run into the problem of Spain, it’s in Europe but they are called Hispanic.

Overall the entire system of categorizing people is messed up.

So Caucasians are named after a group of mountains? The name just gets dumber and dumber...

"It is home to the Caucasus Mountains including the Greater Caucasus mountain range, which acts as a natural barrier separating Eastern Europe from Western Asia, the latter including the Transcaucasia, Armenian Highland and Anatolia regions."

What’s the difference between white chocolate and vanilla, because they taste the same to me?

They taste vastly different to me.

White Chocolate is typically cocoa butter, vanilla, milk, sugar, etc.

Vanilla chips/baking chips are mixed with palm oil or soy bean oils and will not typically have cocoa butter.

That explains it then, that's why they have a similar taste to me.

White chocolate, to me, tastes like a richer and thicker vanilla. The richer part might be the cocoa butter...

Probably.

Just depends on the amount of vanilla used in the flavoring, I think Hershey's white chocolate has a more bitter taste, where Godiva may have a more sweet taste.

Those baking chips almost have no taste except a very waxy vanilla, at least the wilton brand ones.

Wright State. I'm beginning to believe it's a mistake. I've aced every single assignment, there's no reason to have an "incomplete" grade. The classes never showed up on the school site that's used to access the syllabus, grades and stuff like that. The grade of "I" is supposed to be agreed upon by both instructor and student, no such conversation was brought up to me by my instructor. Both classes are also pre-requisites for other upper level classes I'm taking in the fall and no e-mail was sent to me saying that my pre-requisites weren't met. A few other factors are leading me to believe this is all just a mistake and I have nothing to worry about. Just scared me when I first saw it is all. WSU also just sucks as a whole so there's that too

I would say "everyone that" but I’m no expert...
