I’m not talking about the characters, I’m talking about as the reader. If I don’t have any hope that a world is anything other than horrible things happening to people, then I am no longer vested in that world. Frankly, it’s unrealistic.

Don’t be silly: you can’t have a shock without a charge!

So many ignorant comments... I feel like I’m responding to trolls:

I like this story- better than the injected shit at the top of the comments =/

This. As an educator, I see many kids who are not given the proper socialization at home regarding how to deal with their emotions, other people, conflicts, etc. We try to do what we can to teach them here at school, but as this video points out, it’s like trying to empty out the ocean with a spoon if they are going…

Sorry if I see two ladies fighting I am not trying to stop them. They clearly said in the video multiple times security has been called and the police are in the way. There is no way in hell I am interjecting myself into that mess.

The ecological impact of one skate bowl in the wilderness is next to nil.
Think of it as no more than a bunch of rocks falling off the side of a mountain and landing on a wooded patch of land at the mountain base. Not much more than that.

Wait, she’s been in need of a “comeback”?

“died by suicide” has to be one of the sloppiest phrases I’ve heard in awhile. You commit suicide or you kill yourself. Suicide is a motive, not a method.

The death of baseball continues. I like watching highlights from Korean baseball where dudes have batflips down to a science.

What kills me about this is the EXACT WRONG TEAM IS APOLOGIZING!!!!

The irony is that all the hate Caitlyn Jenner gets over this just shows how much courage it took to go public in the first place

Yeah that’s the part that gets me most. These people think that they’re standing up for and supporting the military, but instead what they’re doing is perverting it for their own fucked up beliefs.

Pretty shitty of people to use an amputee veteran as a thin veil for their transphobia

I can’t help but roll my eyes at the people who say things like, the north is just as bad. Sorry but no. Yes racism is everywhere in this country. Yes northerners often use the south as a scape goat to deflect their own deeply entrenched prejudices. Yes the north has serious problems with race, but you’re kidding…

How oddly appropriate that Snyder has chosen to leave behind him a trail of tiers.

Well, for starters, the bangers killing people in Baltimore and other cities aren’t paid by the taxpayers to keep the peace/enforce the law/not beat the everloving shit out of people.

Right now they can go to jail for following Supreme Court decisions such as Illinois v. Wardlow. The Baltimore States Attorney’s Office essentially overturned the Supreme Court’s decision.

That is another myth, but about milk. The old wisdom was to not drink milk if you had a fever, because your elevated body temperature would curdle the milk. When you are sick and vomit up curdled milk, that’s proof, right?
