“Both candidates are equally terrible.” - A stupid person

The man failed miserably selling gambling, football, and steak.

In one of my favourite books Good Omens by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett (r.i.p. ❤💔💞) Pestilence retired in the 30ies, muttering something about penicillin, and was replaced as a horseman by Pollution

He looks like Pestilence, the 1st of the Four Horseman.

Yeah, this is all so new.

Counterpoint: It’s a completly fruitless task to tell people they shouldn’t look up to athletes, considering it’s been part of worldwide culture for hundreds of years.

This is a very uncool take. A lack of civic engagement, where people are more likely to research conspiracy theories and celebrity gossip than learn about the actual fundamentals that should affect their vote, is arguably the underlying problem behind much of our societal decay. It’s a good thing when influential…

There’s a lot written here and not much being said other than a weirdly hostile “stick to weighty sports issues but sports nonetheless” message.

You Ruth Bader believe it!

When a thoughtless or unkind word is spoken, best tune out. Reacting in anger or annoyance will not advance one’s ability to persuade.

Still incorrect. If you are not being detained, you are not required to stick around and listen to questions. If you ask an officer “am I being detained?” and they say no, at that point you are absolutely free to walk away from their questioning. You are not compelled to stand and listen to an officer who is not…

In elementary school, my hamster died and I was crying about it. (1st grade yo). I went to the principals office for what I think was just going to be a quick pep talk. He mentioned that I really reminded him of his daughter. I spent the whole day with him, going around doing principal things- it was a blast. It…

In other countries, if a robber/thief runs away and the police officer isn’t able to catch them (without the use of a firearm), the thief just gets away. This is just a fact of life, sometimes the bad guy escapes. I feel like Americans find this scenario completely unacceptable and that ANY measure to catch a…

I, for one, can’t understand not trusting Hillary. No one in human history has been so investigated and yet found so boring.

Anytime someone describes Hillary as ‘center-right’, it’s safe to tune out everything they say after.

I had a similar revelation about wolverines a few years back when I moved up north and began working in a rural area. People kept warning me to beware of wolverines and I would laugh and ask them if I should be watching out for Bigfoot, too.

Oh I think it is shade! Subtle, could easily be said to be just appreciating that nobody was contradicting her parenting choices, and yet also a delicate “I am blessed that the man was nowhere fucking near us when I raised her”.

Counterpoint: people smell better than reindeer.

I am ashamed to admit that I thought reindeer were mythical creatures until like 5 years ago. Someone at work mentioned how a Christmas thing had real reindeer and I was like “Ok, dummy, did they have unicorns too?” And everyone then told me I was the dummy. I was in my 30s when this happened.

The War on Christmas is actually being caused by climate change. I would laugh at the irony except for, you know, dead reindeer, screwed herders, and ill people...
