Agreed. The only superhero movie I’ve ever seen was Guardians, but I can still name all the Avengers. He’s obviously not at home reading Plato, what the hell kind of culture does he consume?

I’m going to assume also that, as a capitalist, he wouldn’t care if it made him a shit ton of money. I don’t think he’s one of the true believer, froth at the mouth types conservatives. He says what he has to to get paid. If solar energy overtook oil in profits he would be on board that band wagon so goddam fast.

I feel like it needs an Spanish upside down exclamation point at the front and he’d be ready to launch his Mexican telenovela career.

My friend is divorced with a kid who has the father’s last name and she married a guy with a kid who has his last name. She kept her maiden name so there are 4 people and 3 surnames in their family. The only place they had any trouble was one TSA guy in the US and even that was relatively minor and no problem once…

Try being from Australia. Jesus, you would not believe the shit we get asked.

There’s a difference between using humour as a coping mechanism with people you know, and just pointing and laughing at someone on the street. Which is essentially what this is.

Do you also complain about not being able to use the n-word when black people can? It’s the difference between punching up and punching down.

Oh if only we could return to those times when minorities were too cowed and frightened to stand up for themselves when we made them the butt of jokes. Truly those were the glory days of comedy.

The only reason unjust executions took place was because the church sanctioned death as a punishment for heresy, which is utterly indefensible no matter how much “inquiry” you put into it. Saying “oh but they established legal trials to make sure they were only killing REAL non-believers” is like saying “Oh I…

Believe what you want, but don’t force you’re beliefs in other people via legislation.

This seems to be a conservative religious trend: caring about life until it’s actually born, but then you’re on your own.

When did this discussion about Paul Ryan turn into a discussion about your personal problems travelling with kids?

Forcing women to give birth, then refusing to provide assistance to raise the child they didn’t want in the first place isn’t valuing life. It’s punishing “sluts” and I wish more republicans would at least admit it.

That a guy choosing dresses for women with a bunch of different body shapes and other variables is a really bad idea?

Being a bridesmaid is expensive as hell. Suits all look the same more or less and can be rented while bridesmaids have to outlay hundreds of dollars on a dress and shoes that will never be worn again, and, depending on how generous the bride is, hair and makeup. Assuming the bride is a good friend, I’ll outlay cash…

Uh, someone needs to tell him that you can still tip even if you pay your waitstaff a living minimum wage. We do in Australia if the service is very good, but it’s not expected and they don’t need it survive. It is literally a bonus which is what a tip should be instead of praying to god you get a generous douchebag…

I find the service culture in the US to be really stressful to be honest. I don’t want to feel like the waiter is some servile peasant bowing and scraping to me, but it’s impossible to ignore the underlying power differential because they rely on customers benevolence rather than the legal contact between employee and…

I’m seriously underwhelmed too. The whole wedding just looks tacky as fuck. I’ve seen that lighting and PowerPoint slide shows combo at some of my bogan rellies weddings.

Not if it’s booze soaked fruitcake. We have a piece of my great grandmothers wedding case in the tin it was sent out in. That used to be a thing you did, back in the day, for friends who couldn’t make it to the wedding. There’s not even any mould on it and refrigerators weren’t even invented when she got married.

I don’t even want to pee in there let alone have sex. How the fuck do you even fit two people in there? I’m really skinny and I find them cramped.
