Wrong wrong wrong. Everybody knows that mermen writhe around the mermaids in a frenzied erotic dance, much like the grunion, until they eject massive quantities of roe and sperm into the water which intermix and fertilize, external of any merbodies. The mermen then return to the briny depths not to be seen again until…

Capitalists love to use this idea of a “gig economy” as some kind of freedom for those who are willing to just “work hard.” That idea is a con that pits workers against one another in a never-ending battle to see who is willing to do a job for the least amount of money.

It’s become abundantly clear that American Catholics care primarily about allegiance to the RCC, not the Constitution, or their fellow citizens, or even basic morality. It’s a church of obedience, not morals - much like other top-down authority churches, like the LDS, Scientology.

See also: On occasions when the “good man” is actually busted for what he’s done, the story often shifts to making the man the real victim in the situation, his life tragically ruined, his career sadly damaged. 

I force out the regret by filling myself with vodka.

Tens of thousands of unwanted dogs get gassed every year. Don’t buy a dog. Adopt a dog. Adopt a senior dog. Paying for a dog is buying into a vile world of puppy-mill torture and misery. Even if you think your dog comes from a “respectable” breeder, many of them are veiled shit houses.

Swap out the word “woman” with “black”, and you could have placed that exact same paragraph in any discussion about Barack Obama’s “electability” in 2007.

Duh, neither has a penis. They are therefore identical. Any nuanced differences beyond that are willfully impossible by a whole lot of people

And throw in the Rust Belt and the Midwest in as well. I’m sick of these people needing their god damn hands held, or else they threaten to fuck over the entire world because they feel they didn’t get pandered to enough. I live in Texas, Dem candidates only come here to raise money, yet I don’t turn around and throw a…

“I like what she had to say, but I still think she’s—sorry—a bitch,” said a 56-year-old Trump supporter.

I always cringe when we compare Liz Warren to Hillary Clinton. Liz Warren is SO MUCH MORE PROGRESSIVE than Hillary, which to me is a strength. They are both white women who conservatives hate and both intelligent policy wonks, but the progressive nature of Warren’s platforms and detailed plans is worth noting. They…

“Electability” is just a code word for “The next guy in line deserves his shot!”, a.k.a., the party establishment knows best.

This was just a normal Shadowrun session.

The most concerning thing is that it looks like Toyota is losing market share to Ford.

This was a softball that any competent candidate would have knocked out of the park and yet Biden demonstrated just how incapable he is of even remembering to say the right things when it matters. Whether it’s on healthcare or climate change, Biden at best sounds like he is exhausted and at worst like diet Trump.

While I respect Biden’s career-long strategy of affably standing near more accomplished people (it’s my only skill as well and works great!), you have to recognize that it does not prepare you to lead. The softening of his brain seems to have made him forget the point of it all.

“There were these hearings in the ‘30s where they brought rich people in front of Congress and just kind of trashed them.”

You’re really trying to say Kavanaugh got railroaded when he’s SITTING ON THE SUPREME COURT? He’s still a victim somehow!?

“I get tired of the ‘she speaks but doesn’t act.’”

It’s like if that one really awful aunt of yours made it to Congress. You know, the one who spends Thanksgiving dinner monologuing about “those people” and homosexuals “flaunting” it and how such-and-such cousin should be raising her children differently, and when you call her on her BS, she makes a sour face and compl…
