I’ve observed that kids who live in more affluent communities are more likely to reach 10+ still believing in Santa. In economically mixed and poorer communities, the harsh realism that Santa can only bring what your parents can afford strikes some kid at school and the cat slips out of the bag. 

Wander away. The people who like to talk like that want an audience. If they are monopolizing the conversation and you have tried to get a word in but failed, then just wander off to a different conversation if possible. They should eventually figure it out.

When you DO finally snap, please make sure you have the closes person record it with their phone HORIZONTALLY placed. Thank you. 

One of my favorite blogs on tumblr was a constantly updated food recipe blog. They gauranteed a new recipe every hour and had a huge backlog of recipes. (She also posted kitty pictures!)

Agreed: get the fuck over boobs, men. You like boobs, right? So why can’t WE go topless in public?

I’m a former Catholic who argues about this pretty regularly with her still-Catholic mother. He’s not Cool Pope, and he never has been. He’s PR Pope.

why is the catholic church not dead yet? how do people still go to mass knowing about the huge pedophile cover up????? i understand that most priests are fine, but the institution itself actively covered up these pedophiles! I just don’t know how anyone sits in mass anymore.

There’s an old story about Tallulah Bankhead staying up all night partying as only she could, then deciding it would be fun to go to church the next morning (with all the coke and booze still in her system).

This shouldn’t shock anybody. This is the guy who compared trans folks to nuclear weapons, because both go against his god’s “plan”.

so wait, you’re saying you knew it wouldn’t be a good fit for your son to start college when he was 17, and you knew this when he was 5 before starting kindergarten? 

I have obviously spent more time in the nerd-world than the sports world and interpreted “red-shirting” as what happens to the poor crew members who die in Star Trek.

My dad never strangled (or hit or anything like that) my mom. I’ve never hit a woman, strangled a woman or raped a woman.  I don’t get why so many men say “these things happen” when a man does something terrible.  Motherfuckers, stop giving our gender a bad name!

“We’ve raised over $350,000, including $100,000 from Ford,”

What a sponsorship opportunity for GM.

Harry Bennett, not Henry Bennet.

Lmao Ford donated $100,000, those cheap bastards. Pretty sure they can easily cover the rest, and should.

Unions have existed in this country since the 1850s

In the case of the auto industry, Ford’s 1914 $5 dollar day came in the wake of an organizing drive at Ford’s main assembly plant by the Industrial Workers of the World, a radical, anarchist-led labor federation, in 1913.

Also, Ford’s $5 dollar day wasn’t exactly a…

This was a fight for survival, pure and simple, on both sides.
