Melania is the only one pictured who has already lived through total political collapse and instability. She’s just, like, “whatever, this again. Yugoslavia was better off after it split into five different countries, so lets just tear this mother fucker down and see what happens.”   

You know shit is messed up when even Ben Carson is backing away slowly saying, “on second thought, I think I’m better suited to work outside of government....”

Yeah, I love people who made those arguments about Hillary not protecting intel and endangering troops have now voted in a (literally) sponsored by Wikileaks president. Nice job, fellas.

Oh man, I feel you. My PTSD is related to both physical and emotional abuse from my sister growing up. I have troubles when random people behave in a way that is reminiscent of my sister (usually being mean or manipulative) - I’ll get triggered, causing the sort of communication problems you describe. One time I was…

I’ve worked at a university helping students with special accommodations for a number of reasons (learning disabilities, anxiety disorders etc). One guy was a law student who had suffered like three concussions in a year. He was a brilliant guy, he just got flustered more easily and needed more time to do his work…

I’m glad to make someone feel hopeful. For me, some of my darkest moments were reading vague-ass journalistic reporting about trauma-related research, which usually just talks about all of the bad ways trauma victims’ brains are altered by their (our) experiences. What they always fail to report is that, in exactly…

Thanks :)

Glad to hear you’re doing better. :)

It was a temporary situation, luckily, and mainly caused by the ecstasy that I can tell. She still drinks, and not even that moderately a lot of the time, but laying off the drugs completely seems to have done the trick mental function-wise. Have fun, but be safe :)

The combination of alcohol and ecstasy was what did my friend’s brain in temporarily.

I haven’t struggled with drug addiction, but a friend of mine came into a large amount of money, and then proceeded to party it all away in a couple of months time, doing way too many drugs. I didn’t see her during that time, and was absolutely shocked when I saw the result. She went from being literally the smartest…

Given his age, health, lifestyle, and the toll the presidency takes on people - even people who don’t take it seriously (cough - Reagan) - I would be astonished if Trump is still alive to run for a second term. Despite Dr. Spaceman’s protestations, and all of the other ways Trump is grossly unfit for the position, I…

I watched the election night coverage on the CBC. Around 11 pm or so, when it had become clear Trump was going to win, one of the panelists sighed and said, “Well... you know, America did have a pretty good run.” The rest of the panelists sat quietly, and somberly nodded. Know the rest of the world take no joy in…

The fact that he’s still under the impression that people want to be “in suspense” about what he’s doing with the government is mind boggling. How many years will it take him to realize the presidency is not a reality TV show? What a fucking gong show.

All kidding aside, parents please don’t act like it’s normal and acceptable for kids to beat the shit out of, terrorize, and say absolutely cruel things to their siblings. That’s not normal squabbling or sibling rivalry, it’s abuse, and inescapable abuse for the siblings on the receiving end of it, because their home…

So his military policy is “I’m going to decrease the scope of the military’s mission while increasing its size and funding because fuck you, I don’t have to justify my decisions to you.”

I can understand that, but not driving a couple hundred feet to go to the gym to walk/run on it first.

My sister used to live less than one block from her gym. Less than one block in the other direction was a beautiful system of walking trails*. She would drive the several hundred feet to her gym in order to go run on a treadmill. It was at this point that I finally confirmed my long-held suspicion that my sister is a…

Probably.

Obama. Mexicans. Germany. Illegal immigrants. The Democrats... Anyone but themselves.
