At first I was like ‘leave them be if it happened it happened and they’ve addressed it with one another.’ But then I realized that they’re monarchs who live freely on the dime of the country and do practically nothing but look pretty. So in light of that eat the rich

Yeah, it seems to me that the most dangerous likely scenarios for a hypothetical human extinction are A) that we have no immunity to starpox and the aliens don’t know or care and land anyway; or B) that our world suits them and is rare and they either don’t value compassion or have our extremely spotty relationship…

They wouldn’t even need them. If you can defy what we know of physics thoroughly enough to travel the stars, you can certainly drag a big fucking rock from the asteroid belt and drop it wherever you like.

Based on our understanding of physics sure but could be other things.

If aliens have the ability to come here, they are here to observe us and nothing else (or eventually meet us).

My wife, my daughter and I noticed six lights in the sky over one of the Great Lakes around midnight a couple years ago. They slowly descended in pairs, one over top of another and initially would best be described as contained balls of fire. They slowly approached where we were over a period of about ten minutes and…

I served in the Navy from 96-00 on board a destroyer based in San Diego and did a couple West PAC tours to the persian gulf. I was a lowly PN3 and had to stand watch like most of the crew. While we were in transit to the gulf, I think after Malaysia, I was standing watch on the starboard side of the bridge with our…

It’s just so military-brain to immediately assume they’d be here to nuke us. Says so much about us.

There is a lot of misinformation in your comment.

He had proposed twice during our time together and took it back twice.

You know you made the right decision. There is going to be a period of grieving intermingled with self doubt. But you know. Internet hugs. 

Not only have you done the right thing, but you have waaaaaaay more than 10 more “good” years ahead! I know it’s rough, but realistically he wasn’t a good man - the fact that he would move mountains for others while only giving you a pick axe to move your own speaks volumes. Very proud of you doll! Now, time to find…

So it took me quite some time but finally called it quits with my partner of almost 13 years. I knew it was the right thing to do but I’m still incredible sad and though it was definitely my choice I feel like bursting into tears at any moment.

But can’t people separate the aesthetics of a moment in history from the shit that went down during that period? We do it all the time with everything else. The main squares in many European cities saw hangings, decapitations, with burnings, etc. And those same places are now places where celebrations take place,…

A lot of former plantations now function as boutique hotels, wedding and party venues, etc. What else are people supposed to do with them? And what exactly does getting married in one make you guilty of? Are you suddenly complicit with slavery?

Much like all the men pretending they’re too scared to hire or work with women in the wake of Me Too.

These men are also less likely, post-Kavanaugh, to believe women who claim they were sexually harassed or assaulted than they were before...

In 2016 and 2017, Republican women and men’s views on gender equality were pretty similar. But after Kavanaugh, PerryUndem found “a little divergence” between GOP men and women on questions like whether sexism is a problem for our society, whether elected officials should work on issues related to women’s equality,…

‘Poosh’ is what I call the area below my bra and above my pants waistband.

Rapists. They won’t take “no” for an answer. Yet they are so fucking sensitive.
