The logical reaction should be: Yay! We have more people with education and less debt! This is good for the economy! This will benefit society as a whole, maybe even the world! I couldn’t afford education or was stuck in debt for a long time, but I’m happy people will have more opportunities in the future!

I’ve seen this a lot lately and I’m not sure where it popped up from. Tacking something snarky like “try to keep up” or “logic is hard, but please try” doesn’t make your argument seem any stronger, it just makes you seem insecure and annoying.

Empathy says: “Wow, I bet I would be screwed up if I were abused my whole life too.” It also says: “Holy shit, I would probably want bloody revenge too if I were the family of the brutally murdered pregnant woman.”

Indeed logic is hard, I suppose thats why you are comparing serial killers with someone who committed a singular murder. From that very fact alone we can tell you let the gruesome nature of the murder weigh in on the facts. As if one murder somehow becomes equal to several murders in severity because it was done in a…

It’s not a question of empathy. Empathy is a neurological trait, not a yardstick for ethics. Do I have empathy for this woman? No. Do I think it is ethical to kill her given the circumstances? Also, no.

We did something closer to this in Australia. Even our conservatives were ultimately on board. Though not perfect in our responses, everyone was ultimately dragged in the correct direction enough to both eliminate the virus from the community and financially support a lot of people during the worst of the crisis to…

That’s not a silly bit and she’s not joking.

The “average rom-com” remark was trademark mean-girl affectation. It has nothing to do with anything else in the article. If Aniston were an above-average rom-com star, would it validate her concern about Kanye?

I had the same thought. What the fuck are they supposed to do? Encourage people to vote, but don’t vote too hard or pray over their vote?

But on the same hand, Aniston’s initial plea also reveals that celebrities like her watch far too much MSNBC, in turn, morphing average rom-com stars like her into bona fide heroes in their imagined “resistance.”

“Trigger the Libs” has been the only right wing platform for the last decade. The Republican party are Trolls, period.

West claimed that his recent Joe Rogan interview must have gotten the establishment “shook.”

I am almost positive the Democrats wouldn’t have done the same thing. (Don’t get me wrong, I wish they would, but the seem to lack... commitment to Sparkle Motion, I guess). Hopefully this will put a fire under them though.

It makes me think we shouldn’t have a constitution that allows an impeached president who has both personal and presidential cases headed to the supreme court to stack the judges in his favor just before an election he has said he will contest, just because the senate is the same party.

If voting white women voted like voting black women in 2016 this wouldn’t have been an issue.  I am just going to sit over here with the African American women that went over 90% for Clinton in 2016.  I expected better from white women (I’m never doing that again) because I definitely knew white men ain’t shit. 

My entire life and career has been studying the relationship humans had with nature prior to our modern state that began long ago. We were all indigenous once and our very survival depended on maintaining a strict balance with our local ecosystems. Intrinsic within that relationship were prophylactic and abortifacient…

The problem with your statement is that you’re entirely focused on individuals/individuality, and not systemic patterns. Yeah, individual MRAs are immature, but they are being rewarded for their immaturity. Yes, both individual men and women are assholes or bad people; but there’s a specific stripe of behavior that…

I’ve always thought most MRA followers and adherents were simply immature. There are plenty of men and women who are supreme assholes. I think when you’re a grown-up, you see good people and bad people (and in-between people), but rarely is it because they’re a man or because they’re a woman.

When they said he is suffering mild symptoms, I took that to mean he is on a respiratory already and close to death.
