Another reason to scorn open-plans; they allow fire to spread much more quickly.

But a tiny little spider that can hide in your sock drawer, or in the crease of your mattress, and can kill you in minutes...

The “men just can’t help themselves” argument is such bullshit.

Although I’ve seen rattle snakes...I’ve never once spotted a mountain lion.

Sounds like a current situation in Australia. The narrative has always been that Aboriginal peoples were semi-nomadic hunter-gatherers, with no agricultural practices or permanent built structures.

I’m so sorry. My mother had dementia, I know how difficult it is.

Yep, deliberate lies intended to demonise desperate refugee-seekers for political benefit.  Fuck John Howard forever.

Sounds like half the police force was being paid off. Is there an investigation into how this creature was still walking free?

I share a birthday with Trump which has henceforth ruined all birthdays.

So the rest of his life could be tied up in legal proceedings? Excellent.

It’s time to call a spade a spade, to say that no matter how many hands we win in this political poker game, we are playing with a stacked deck of gross immorality and ethical incompetence.

This means that now, having been impeached (with or without Senate removal), no future president can pardon his offenses

Yeah, sorry, I didn’t mean that this POS isn’t racist as fuck. I didn’t put my meaning real well.

One of my coworkers tried playing the “oh, it was originally a pagan symbol so...” card, but I cut him off...

Yeah, I don’t doubt that occasionally it’s actually true. I know of one building built in 1902 that has swastikas as part of the floor tile design in the foyer. That gets a pass. But if you’ve lived your life in an English-speaking country...you know exactly what the swastika means.

I didn’t know all that history. Interesting! I said “Buddhist” bc that’s the usual thing I hear from “reclaimers”.

Yes, someone can be killed by a punch; however, you have to be very skilled or very (un)lucky to kill someone barefisted

Fuck that Jesus fiction.

“They don’t know their history, evidently. That’s the only reason I think of that they can think anything bad about it.”

The two spaces after a full stop...yeah, I do that too. Or rather, my thumbs do it automatically.  Why did it change?  I guess it’s a generational thing.
