I'm always amazed that people will go out on and own boats who don't know how to swim. Where do they think the boat goes?

I see you also know my cousin.

I wish I were the sort of person who could be trusted with expensive sunglasses, but I’m realistic about my own shortcomings and know that I wouldn’t take care of them/would lose them.

Me right now. Why does the truth hurt so much???

This is very true. Truly despicable people are very good at compartmentalizing their lives. An extreme example would be a serial killer like Bundy, who was very good at outwardly projecting an air of confidence and trustworthiness.

Whenever I meet someone who can keep plants alive, I have to restrain myself from grabbing them by the shoulders and yelling “HOW DO YOU DO IT??? WHAT IS YOUR SECRET??? I GIVE THEM WATER AND FOOD AND LIGHT AND WHY GOD WHY DO THEY DIE????”

True, but he also burned a lot of people to death. Plus, if you read his writings, he’s kind of a self righteous prick. I think he’s a wash as a human.

Everytime humanist is misused, Thomas Moore rolls over in his grave. Still trying to work out if this is a net negative or positive thing.

No, I’m talking about the very few times when the Reddit actually shut down/banned specific boards (fatpeoplehate, etc).

It sets a bad precedent. Redditors will learn that if they want something from the company, all they need to do is create a petition. Reddit staff need to be able to shut down specific boards and perform other operations that occasionally piss of the community. They definitely don’t want the community to know they…

She may be terrible, but this petition is the worst way of going about getting her fired. Reddit is already 1 step above a rabid mob. I can’t imagine the Reddit executive board wants to give any sort of appearance that they listen to the whims of their users when it comes to employment decisions.

Moving his water bowl far away from his food may help. Cats will instinctively not drink water near their food source.

Here! I had a long hectic week and lacked the energy/motivation to do anything. I stayed in with the cat and watched the Lord of the Rings (because freedom?).

As someone who actually had a bad reaction to a vaccine (encephalitis), can I just tell you how much I hate anti-vaxers? They are the absolute worst. For the record, I nearly died from having a vaccine and I still am up to date on everything. They can all suck it.

That is so true. It’s the same thing with cults. Everyone likes to think they’re “too smart” to join a cult, yet cults find members all the time. All takes is the right message and the right external pressures to make someone, anyone, vulnerable.

I like the picture where she is sitting on the shelf and has moved the figurines to the side. That is Bossy’s shelf, guys. You need to find a new place to be.

Agree. I love my parents, but Facebook on Mother’s Day and Father’s Day feels more like a competition than a genuine expression of love.

Have I ever told you you’re my hero for this summary?

I love that he’s still friends with them too. They’ll come to big events at the restaurant, etc. And they are never the butt of the joke. It’s treated so matter of factly and that’s SO WONDERFUL and refreshing.
