I'm crazy good at standardized tests. It's such a very useful and yet entirely useless skill.

That's an argument I've seen a lot from Catholics lately. Probably just because I grew up Catholic, so I know a lot of them, but I've heard a lot of crap about people who are pro-choice have no place being sad about Sandy Hook because they're responsible for the same thing hundreds of times over. I don't know why I…

Didn't PP announce recently that they'd decided to stop using the terms pro-choice and pro-life because their research had shown that people are confused by the terms? They never announced what terms they were going to use instead, though.

Ugh, this hits so close to home. My parents are getting divorced, and my dad says it's cos my mom is such a lush and that ruined the marriage, but the truth is she drinks because their marriage is a mutually abusive trainwreck that you'd really have to drink through to cope with. The drinking is a symptom of what a…

I kind of feel what you're saying. I don't think anything in particular about "kids today" but I've had ends of the quarter where I was just so at the end of my rope with excuses and assholes that I get the blood boiling. The shit people will pull, it's redonk.

Ha! This must be what people mean when they joke about they support marriage equality because they think that gay couples should get to be as miserable as straight ones. I'd never thought about the fact that gay couples probably don't get asked as often about when they're going to have kids.

I loved Hazel. I still laugh to myself about the scene where she creeps into Liz's bedroom to put lipstick on her so that she can gab with Liz's sleeping body about "OMG! We're wearing the exact same lipstick!"

You know, TETO but I find it horribly offensive. I do get the sentiment, that life and happiness is worth fighting for even through the hopelessness depression brings, but I think it completely minimizes what a massive and chronic struggle it can be to call it a "temporary problem."

This actually goes straight back to the letter that spurred this conversation. Expecting someone who is suicidal to react to your attempt to help graciously is naive and often counterproductive. If you can't react to suicidal people's anger and frustration with grace and not escalate things, then yes of course…

You were unkind to someone that was rude to you when they revealed to you that they regretted being alive. Yes, you were the douche in this interaction.

You need a better therapist. I went through probably 5 different therapists over the course of 8 years before I found the one that was right for me and started to make real progress on myself and my issues. Keep trying. It's not that a therapist can't solve your issues, that it's that you haven't found the…

Average people are allowed to think highly of themselves.

I feel like you've crossed over some line recently. Your comments used to be mostly well thought out, though entirely contrary to the general zeitgeist of the site, but recently you're just not even making any sense and sound especially angry.

I agree. I can see where everyone is coming from, but Godwin's Law exists for a reason.

This is true. It is pretty unfortunate for them. But you see adults doing this too. People who should definitely know better, but I guess bubbles can be pretty effective too.

I always wonder what kind of combination of overconfidence and idiocy it takes to be okay with being photographed like that. I guess none of these pictures are tied to these people's identities, but with tools like Google image search it easily could be. How can they be so blind to how much they're very much on the…

It hella is, though! Not that I'm legitimately complaining about needing high SPFs, but it is pricey. I stupidly assumed that sunscreen is something everyone everywhere uses religiously and didn't pack any when I went to S America last year. I paid something like $25 for a small bottle of SPF 45, and had the…

I think it was just that the birth rate of Hispanics is overtaking the birth rate of whites. Whites are still the majority.

I'm sure you mean well, but this comment was totally douchey.

But isn't it infantalizing at some point to say that a person can't make a choice to commit suicide because they're not competent to make that choice? I know I've been suicidal and felt like I was never ever going to get better, but had enough presence of mind to know that that was the depression and that I was…
