It’s an issue of dignity and recognition. I need ID to do a lot of things in Canada. Buy alcohol. Get a bank account. Get a health card. Sign a lease. Use a credit card for a large purchase. If my ID had information on it that was not only countering expectations of who I am, but that in itself insulting my fight to…

Don’t feel bad, Spicey wasn’t some naive guy who got sucked in, he spent months flakking for Trump as an RNC spokesman before he got the gig, and has been a spokesman for years before that. He went in with eyes open and got EXACTLY what he deserved, considering he’s B-grade talent with little professional ethics.

Are you asking for rhetorical effect, or do you actually want an answer? Because I just typed your question into Google and got a lot of pretty useful answers. Basically, much of the insurance industry will live on. Some people move to other roles in health care administration. Some people change careers. It’s a…

Is this an equivalent of an ex who still crashing on your couch after he took some time off to Bali?

“It’s not just about what is morally and ethically right, it also makes sense just from a fiscal standpoint,” [Harris] said.

You’re getting this GOD DAMNED STAR not for the build up, which I am in complete agreement with, but for the last line. It’s a thing of beauty.

Republicans are such fucking dumbshits.

‘“What is off-putting about them,” one political veteran told me, “is they do not grasp their essential irrelevance. They think they are special.”’

Someone posted this in the comments of an earlier article today - wish I could remember who to give credit. Great article in Vanity Fair about Jared and Ivanka. https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2017/08/jared-kushner-ivanka-trump-repelled-by-washington-elite

So long as the data doesn’t exist the problem doesn’t exist. How very mature of them.

“...alongside the boardroom buzzwords “relevant stakeholders,”..”

I really appreciate how you answered this so earnestly; like it was you and your DnD pals and OT that brought down Hollywood this summer.

I will point and laugh at Sarah Palin, who is politically irrelevant.

I love the god found me the perfect house people. Weird how it’s always people who have money and a real estate agent. Seems like it would make more sense for god to find a homeless person a house. No?

In a rather ironic twist, I actually became an Atheist through AA. I grew up Southern Baptist (and my mom sounds remarkably like yours with the non stop church volunteering) but had drifted away from it because of the hypocrisy, the greed, the people, and because the deeper I got into apologetics trying to find…

Reminds me of this old joke:

“God’s got this.”

Thank you for this thread. I work and live in the Bible Belt, and as an atheist, I often find myself feeling very alone in times of tragedy when everyone around me has a raging hard on for “God’s plan.” It was refreshing to read this.
