She’s not a final girl, though. She’s the sole protagonist.

That’s a really brilliant take. No, I haven’t read/heard about that interpretation.

I think the point you’re missing is that being educated about the mechanics of guns doesn’t have anything to contribute to gun policy and the morality of gun ownership. Gun owners know how to kill a lot of people efficiently. They don’t know how to protect people. Their input in this discussion is invalid. They’ve…

I don’t know how else to say this: There are people who absolutely abuse cultural norms to drag acceptable discourse to the right. Wringing one’s hands over the “right” and “wrong” way to vent understandable frustrations doesn’t seem like a good use of time, but you do you.

I can’t think of a single interaction with police that was positive or helpful in any way. I don’t want to disclose too many stories because of anonymity, but I will tell you that once a lady DARE cop came to talk to us about drugs. Instead she talked about how her husband repeatedly raped her. Super cool topic for 8…

Turns out content and context matter, not adhering to norms that result in restraining people who fight back against bad faith assholes. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ No one is under any obligation to not bully Ben Shapiro. It’s good, actually.

Time to burn down another police district.

Same, I read it when it was published.

If a batch of JIF peanut butter has salmonella, what does a responsible society do first? We know. It sends out alerts to media everywhere, telling people to throw it out or return it to the store for a refund. Then the responsible authorities work with the manufacturers to figure out how it happened and how to…

Yes, thanks everyone for replying and correcting me. I completely forgot about it. I do remember him being much older when he and Clare first had sex, which wigged me out.

Do you pick your seat when you buy a ticket? I do. There may have been reasons why that person chose their seat. Demanding that someone else move further back down the plane is a dick move.

I don’t remember that being in the book at all. Am I misremembering?

I once flew with an elderly couple who didn’t have a seat assignment together, maybe they got their tickets late. They sat down together and insisted the person sit in the seat they were vacating, further back down the plane. I wouldn’t have believed it if I hadn’t seen it. The entitlement was insane. And it was for a…

I’ve been married for almost twenty years, so it’s not like I’m looking anyway, but kids are a deal breaker for me. I chose not to have them for many reasons. I don’t want to become a parent (let alone a step-parent) or a grandparent later in my life. I’ve seen how much some parents ignore their kids when they are…

Be happy you live in a country that allows you this much of a voice.

The “miracle” of reproduction.

A guest at my house once dropped her diva cup on the floor rug in my bathroom. Even in the privacy of a single bathroom, accidents can still happen. Watch yourselves, those boogers are slippery!

Jesus Christ! You have my sympathies. May the menopause fairy visit you soon. 

Not that you’ll convince that camp, but menses isn’t ALL blood, it’s mostly mucus. Fun! Anyway, I have a theory that people who flush their tampons (for those reading this who do that: stop doing that!) are personally grossed out by their own bodies, which equally enrages and bums me out. When I leak onto my underwear…
