They’re not questioning you, they’re just amused. New parents worry about everything, the second kid on out you’ll be like, “whatever”. Also by the second one you will definitely drug your kid to be more compliant, and not think twice about it. Have fun!

Not willfull ignorance: Cognitive Dissonance (holding two mutually opposing views at the same time because you can’t admit you could be wrong, even though both things cannot logically be true at the same time).

alleging that team members were involved in “a long list of things,” including prostitution, purchasing alcohol for underage team members, and paying others to complete their homework assignments.

I am ex-military and virtually all of my friends are Marines. I love Marines and you can be sure that my answer has not one twinge of anti-Marine-ness in it. Run, go, break it off, stop.

After a year or so of this, even they will get tired. If we’re still alive to notice.

Karen Pence looks like one of Dr. Evil’s henchpersons.

Other than that missing ‘of’, what’s so bad about the way it was written? I once had a creative writing essay that was the same sentence written 50 different ways. Also, it’s a blog post, not an article in the Atlantic.

An active nuker.

In my worst nightmares I have never seen anything like that.

I had to watch it just because of this comment, and you’re very right.

This will continue until we have another Pearl Harbor moment, in which we learned battleships were outmoded and the warfare tech of the future was aircraft carriers. Afterwards, meaning after several carriers sink to the bottom of the South China Sea, it will seem obvious to everyone.

It’s kinda fucked up that this is probably, almost surely, going to be the most helpful and informative thing (at least relevant to my life) I’ll read today. 

My voicemail says “I don’t reply to voicemails, send me a text.” Anyone I actually want to talk to has the ability to text.

Well for f**ks sake, this is the kind of useful information I wish they’d mention more often.

Well they must know us well enough to know that we’d both end up reading an article about what Mama June looks like now. My cognitive dissonance on this is so high that I could legit complain about Mama June clickbait ads on a page about her. I feel like I just learned something disturbing about how our brains work.

Thank you for this, I don’t feel quite so alone now. I was legit worried about how often that ad was showing up on my pages.

Usually I say people read too much into things, but that’s about as obvious as you can get, and is awesome.

I guess I never had to need it, because I’ve been using backpacks for well over 40 years now and I never had a clue.

“I’m doing a thing later, and if I don’t bring a black guy the Lying Media will never let me hear the end of it. We have one around here somewhere, don’t we? I put one of them in my cabinet to shut people up, get him in here.”
