Everyone knew that Manchin would be a problem with such a thin margin in the Senate.

I apologize if I wasn’t clear, but my point was that the net result is the same. Is a republican controlled house not a republican controlled house, even if they didn’t win in a red tsunami? What is the big difference?

Pro-abortion? Is that what we’re calling fundamental and essential healthcare now to make the title more click-bait? The fuck does that mean, pro-abortion?

I love her terrible food pictures. She’s Martha - fucking - Stewart, queen of cookbooks and all things pretty and aesthetic, and she takes and posts the shittiest food pictures in existence. They look exactly like the ones my elderly mother posts. It’s just so friggin weird. 

I’d rather walk through a snowstorm than call and speak to someone on the phone

I really think we need to band together as one voice and demand that Jared Leto be fired into the sun.

Yes because that’s exactly what happened when George W. Bush called a reporter a “major league asshole” off-mic. The complete and total alienation of the Republican party’s stranglehold on the national discourse. I haven't heard a word from Republicans for at least 16+ years now.

I see a lot of comments in the vein of “well, if a man can basically force a woman to have a child based solely on the man’s preference that the child be born, then he should [xyz remunerative, punitive, or ‘gotcha’ remedy]!” Some are serious seeming (albeit highly unlikely to be implemented,) and some are hyperbolic…

I hate mandatory minimums. I hate the cultural focus on prison as the only solution for crime and criminals.

He is a rapist. He is now free to offend again. This is not just about punishment, this is about how women are not safe in our society. Women are constantly told how to behave to be safer, but men are not stopped from victimizing women.

I’m pretty anti-prison, and I want real criminal justice reform, so the idea of an 18 year old being warehoused and incarcerated for four years is not an appealing one to me either.  

As a child with a decent gift for playing the piano, my hands would turn to rubber at recitals because I was so nervous in front of an audience. I won a medal in front of judges, but an auditorium? Forget it. So I’ve known firsthand from an early age what a powerful force psychology is on performance.

I think that maybe it’s because there’s been a lot of focus on deaths and death rates that people don’t think about all the “long COVID” reasons for getting the shot. My sister’s a nurse and she laid it out something like this... “Well, maybe it only is 2-4% of all positives that die, but I can tell you that there are…

I kind of think a lot of the reaction to the early-aughts fashion resurgence has less to do with the actual trends themselves and more to do with bad memories of the absolutely horrific body standards of the time. Like, I remember seeing an article about how to dress for your body type in a teen magazine, and it being…

I honestly think that to be on the ballot you should have to pass a civics and basic knowledge test. Like, seriously. I need a 4 year degree to work as a fucking administrative assistant. I THINK we should start asking more of the people running this nightmare.

The idea that Covid-19 either originated from the WVI or as a result of sample collection without proper PPE seems credible. Dismissing it outright feels naive at best, and fuels distrust of media and government.

Nah... society was always like this. Those of us who worked retail/restaurant jobs can tell you people were always like this. You’re just “seeing” more because the only ones “out” are the bad ones, the good majority took the fucking once in a 100 years global pandemic seriously, like one should.

The real difference is that, if and when you do get COVID on that cruise ship, the conservative will disown you and ban you from coming back to the US, while the liberal will lecture you but allow you to come back and find ways to cure you.

Yup absolutely true. Large ships pollute more than just about anything else, and it doesn’t help that they still most often use bunker oil as a fuel.
