As a trained, hypnotist, let me let you in on a secret: a hypnotist cannot make anyone do something that they do not want to do. That’s why stage hypnotists usually work with groups - there’s always someone who thinks it’ll be funny to cluck like a chicken.

amen!

Im supposed to be replacing a shower head filter?

“It’s fine to lie to idiots for money, it’s actually awesome, but we’re not supposed to be the idiots. Completely unfair. Illegal.”

I still don’t get how politicians aren’t ahead of this.

Thank goodness. I was nervous I was more likely to develop gallstones because of my love of hot sauce.

Lolz— I’m old enough that we didn’t even HAVE vending machines in schools. Back in the Before Time, kids only used to consume food at lunchtime! With a special allowance made for The Diabetic Girl, who went to the nurse’s office several times a day to eat her snacks throughout the day! Come to think of it, back then…

I dunno about you guys, but if someone hands me a script to yell racist slurs on(or off) camera, I’m saying no.

I’m also old, and this whole “child tyrant” thing hadn’t hit yet in the 70s... Nobody had yet invented the phrase “Oh, she/he won’t eat that”. Mothers cooked one meal for everyone.

Kind of, but they’re also teaching them that those foods aren’t normal, so that birthday cake is for birthdays rather than dinner (although elementary school kids also go to multiple birthday parties a week).

Word. My parents never had snacks in the house or sugary cereals or sodas. So we never ate those items. We also did not get an allowance (get paid? for chores? HAH) so we couldn’t buy from the vending machine. We ate the lunch ma made, traded some lunch items with friends and that’s it. You ate what was in front…

Who is dumb enough to read the script and say to themselves... “Yea, using the N-word on camera will have positive consequences”. 

Don’t buy it, don’t keep it in the house, don’t feed it to them, they can’t develop the habit.

If you dont put surgery drinks, cookies, and chips in your house then your kids will eat way less surgery drinks, cookies, and chips.

Sacha has pinpointed the exact dog-whistle frequency and Republicans don’t know what to do. “He can make us do anything how do we stop this”

Well if you want to deal with Democrats you do need journalists - when you’re dealing with Republicans you gotta send in the clowns.

I mean, honestly, the reaction from your daughter is very likely above average. I certainly wouldn’t worry about it.

I don’t know how much I impact what my girls like, but we just don’t have a lot of terribly unhealthy food in the house, so when they want snacks it’s usually something we can live with.

Those for profit child prisons aren’t going to fill themselves!

Strategically, why would they? When you can win the presidency despite a 3 million voter deficit, or win a 33 seat majority in the House despite losing the national popular vote by 1.4 million (as happened in 2012), then you don’t need to win the hearts and minds of America, you only have to win over the minority.…
