Or, we could grow beyond barbarianism and realize this is a mental health issue and the way to prevent these things from happening is catching them before they happen.

This may not be the best time to wish to be American.

Eh. My mom got the sweetest dog at the shelter about a year and a half ago, and eventually he turned into a growler and a biter and a dog with food aggression. Through multiple trainers and boardings, she’s finally looking to re-home him. It really does happen.

This has nothing to do with this story but the nerds in charge of kninja have made it so much goddamned shittier with this update I hate it so much how am I supposed to talk to my friends in the comments without an annoying myself.

Imagine something awful happened to you. Something that left deep emotional scars, and you struggle to talk openly about it. Or maybe you have talked about it but people either don’t listen or say you’re making too much of a fuss or go “that old chestnut”...

Does this mean we can start kicking Jews and coloreds out of our business establishments?

It really does go too far. Because only one of them is assured of health insurance in the event.

I need these gummy bears to help me with the pain. The pain of having to deal with this endless scrolling article bullshit. I need to get so blazed that when I click on an article about dank gummies, I get so stoked that I scroll right by and end up reflecting on my weed induced state and start to question my choices.…

A persona can be born with male or female genitals. A person can also be born with external female genitals but be male due to their brain structure. It’s not something you pick and choose (no matter what the religious people tell you), you’re “Born This Way”. Read a science book about the subject.

Reading this article about that book (“Shattered”) on Wapo makes me physically ill. This part, in particular, is just devastating:

“I know that astrology isn’t a science ... of course it isn’t. It’s just an arbitrary set of rules like chess or tennis ... The rules just kind of got there. They don’t make any kind of sense except in terms of themselves. But when you start to exercise those rules, all sorts of processes start to happen and you start…

The worst part is I don’t think he believes he was coming for her. My dad is like Bill-O in so many ways, and I have heard him insert an irrelevant cosmetic insult into a story about a woman a million fucking times. It is SOOOOO male privilege personified. And this of course has the huge and obvious racial overtones…

Aaaaand shockingly their shit does not come in plus sizes, because the people who deserve to buy sustainable clothing are thin in addition to being not-those-icky-poors.

That is a sentence you would not see in any other developed country in the world. It’s a sentence that should not have to exist in the U.S.

I realize this article is largely tongue in cheek, but the discussion could benefit from a breakdown of what contamination is, what radiation is, and the three things that will help minimize exposure: time, distance, and shielding. Radiation is what kills you, through several methods of cellular damage; this…

For all the times I like Jezebel, it’s things like this that are driving me away. A lot of the staff write callous and snarky things for no reason. It’s just mean for the sake of mean a lot of the time.

it stuns me sometimes that people actually get RICHER when family members die. like, didn’t you just lose a worker? what magic is this?

I don’t think people realize that buying your own house, having a pension/retirement plan, and/or having life insurance is a relative luxury. When my mom died, I got nothing - they even stopped the social security payments. That’s why it’s a priority that my family would be taken care of when I die. Where are the…

Lol, it’s not that bad. I mean, a kid should like it?

Now, my daughter and I have lived a pretty frugal life. No big vacations, small house, one tv. Her dad’s house, on the other hand, multi-story, flat screens in every room, new cars. Very different. One day she asked me if we were poor. It made me so sad because until then I had hoped she wasn’t conscious of all that,…
