People really don’t get this.

Yeah when Trump got mad at North Korea and all of the news outlets were putting out graphics on where to go to be safe if you survive a nuclear attack, my roommates and I settled on the church down the street as the best place within a few minutes of travel that has a basement. Absolutely absurd that that is a…

I’d be a hell of a lot more convinced if those six to eight staff members who were at work and willing to open the doors to anyone who needed help were doing something, almost anything, to assist the community. If you’re a charitable organization, I think your duty to your community goes beyond being willing to…

Yeah, the no kitchen excuse is a bit thin... I doubt people seeking shelter would care that much.

Didn’t you hear? The people who saw the injured man beside the road before the good Samaritan came along didn’t stop to help because no one asked them to.

As much as I fucking hate this weirdo man, it did feel like we were missing some info here. Good article. But then again, how does that massive place not have a kitchen? I don’t know if I believe that....

How about calling local media and saying “WE’RE OPEN IF ANYONE NEEDS SHELTER! PLEASE DIRECT PEOPLE TO COME HERE” Get on Twitter & FB and let people know.

Any church or other religious organization that is physically capable of offering shelter during a disaster and doesn’t should have its tax-free status automatically revoked. They should have to pay taxes like any other business until they can prove their charitable value to the community.

Homosexuality? Unnatural and against god!

There’s a woman I went to school with who posted a status update about a year ago that she had finally fulfilled her lifelong dream, one that she had nurtured throughout her childhood in an incredibly poor African country. That dream? To go to a service at Lakewood fucking Church. The top of my head blew clear off

I do not know how he finds so many people to fill up his giant church.

Bargain bin Benedict Cumberbatch ass

This is the best indictment of Evangelical theological viewpoint of “I’m a good person if I think I’m a good person but don’t need to do good things to be a good person.”

Like old Toohotformilk there, I’ve also lived through plenty of hurricanes. When you’ve been through enough, you stop worrying about them and you don’t prepare like it’s your first time - you get some water and plywood the windows and hunker down. My dad, who’s in his 70's and has ridden out every hurricane that’s…

Having the sick impulse to call the cops, from the site of one of the worst flood disasters in American history, to report victims of that flood for looting a supermarket; but also: a crime

Just because you asked nicely, allow me to explain: That 20% doesn’t all go into their pockets. It almost certainly gets further subdivided into operating costs, advertising, etc. I guarantee you most places don’t send 50% of their gross take down the line to the people who actually *make* their products, much less…

Are we holding this up as some paragon of virtue now? They’re still taking 20%.

I’m a transman programmer raised in the NW and I say ‘guys’ for all a lot. I have used it for groups of all women before I transitioned. It’s really common there, but I deliberately try not to use it in the Bay Area, especially professionally, cause it’s offensive here to more people. I still use it with my friends…

I will admit right now that I am guilty of using the word “girl(s).” What I should say instead? (actually asking.)

and? Thats a fuckton better than a lot of sites you idiot
