As a virgin birth, Jesus could only have had X-chromosomes. Yet throughout his life He lived and presented as a man.

I feel it’s less of a slap “fight” and more of one guy trying to come back at another guy but keeps tripping over his own pants.

The most prevailing ‘product’ sold with ARs is not the weapon itself, or the accessories, but the story. The story that somehow, a group of scrappy rebels can stand up and defend freedom against anything with their guts, gumption, know-how, and a Black Rifle.

Walmart is responsible for...2o percent of all total ammunition sales nationwide. Ceasing to sell some types of ammo...might mean that Walmart will now only supply 9 percent of the ammunition in America.

Like, a dick pic is gross at worst, it doesn’t actually harm anyone.

There are certain groups of people most at risk during natural disasters... including marginalized groups such as poor people, people of color, children, women, the elderly, and those with physical disabilities. People who are outdoors or in unsafe structures, in particular workers, and people who live alone, like…

Whoever chose this screenshot to illustrate this story deserves a raise. Those three people have, indeed, just heard that the most popular and influential YA series of the last century - credited with everything from improving reading rates to helping children survive bullying - has been removed from a school library…

Seconding Flaments. Severely restricting your diet from age 7 to the point where nutritional deficiencies blind and deafen you is not a “stupid choice”, it’s a fucking eating disorder.  Choose empathy, mate.

I’m so glad I can help you! Congratulations on your new-found freedom; it’s tough to even realise you’re in an abusive relationship, let alone break away from it. I’m sorry your ex is making things tough for you, but I’m glad you’re getting custody of all the important relationships! A support network is really…

I just realized what’s going on in this video. I thought she was turning away from him to avoid a kiss or something. But she’s actually going in for the tender moment and he actively avoids it by pointing and shaking hands with whoever is off-camera. Awkward shoulder rub and cold nod from father ensues. Damn.

Politically incorrect opinion coming up, but hear me out.

Sounds like your dad has the girlfriend he deserves.

I made a big point of continuing to go absolutely everywhere that I liked because fuck him, I own all these places and HE can go find somewhere new if it bothers him.

The problem of blame arises when people try to take reasonable micro advice and apply it writ large to the systemic macro issues.

So a senior editorial figure at a major outlet has made systemic omissions of fact in slanting a story to support her agenda. Cool, cool. Journalistic ethics all good then.

...since recent history has told them that their instincts are faulty, they’re paranoid about phantoms. Which leads to a “better safe than sorry” Mike Pence approach of just avoiding women completely...The guy at your liquor store instinctively knows he’s not harassing you, but he doesn’t trust those instincts anymore.…

“Dangerous” is only useful if the critic goes on to explain how, why, and to whom the work is dangerous. Because many people only consider something “dangerous” (and by implication, bad) if it might affect them. Remember most mainstream critics are well-off older WASP cis men: aka the group with the most to lose from…

...lots?

You used a lot of words to say “I’m happy to make excuses for the young white guy who threatened to commit a mass shooting if prevented from mutilating his father’s corpse, but I won’t forgive the black man who knelt during the National Anthem to protest lethal systemic race-based violence by the state”.

Yes, but the brother was mainly mad that Hamlet had killed his father. As in this scenario Trump is both the brother’s father and the guy who killed the brother’s father, we have a paradox. Either Trump does not kill Junior’s father, which leaves Junior with no motive to kill Trump; or Trump does kill Junior’s father,…
