Just because none of these people have shown any instinct for public service, ever, in their lives, totally does not mean that they all haven’t suddenly, without warning, become altruistic and devoted to making the world a better place for everyone. They absolutely haven’t taken these positions to advance their own…

I agree, but I also know plenty of people, myself included, who spent many years going the radical route (ie. attempting to attack problems at the actual root) seemingly without effect, and eventually decided their efforts would be better directed at small-scale, local work trying to treat the symptoms, because…

I considered the possibility (watch me stereotype, now...) that a lot of the make-up artists and hairstylists styling these vile homophobes are possibly gay, and maybe subtly taking revenge.

No, obviously not. Much as he boasts about being a “builder” who makes things, he hasn’t been that since the 1980s, really. For decades now his entire business has involved teams of lawyers arranging deals to put his name on products made by other people, and ghostwriters writing books in his voice while he sits in a…

I think he needs to resort to the scotch tape thing because he wears his ties tied so long that the short end falls above the loop. Which, you know, if you INSIST on doing that, you could just get a tailor to move the loop higher or sew another one on which he can afford because he’s allegedly a billionaire.

When I was in junior high school there were rumors that a young teacher who was coaching the volleyball team was dating a volleyball player in grade 9. They’re married now. They allegedly didn’t start dating until she was in university, but I don’t think either of them dated anyone in the intervening period, so I…

Honestly, I’m left wondering if, on some subconscious level, some parents know their kids are better off without them. Because it’s true. My dad and his siblings became completely estranged from their father when their parents divorced. He made no effort to contact or see them. When I was born, my dad thought the…

Where I live, in the late 1980s/early 1990s, the school board introduced something called “social promotion” which meant that, unless the parents insisted on holding their child back a year, kids would be moved forward to avoid them being socially marginalized by being “the kid who failed” and having to find their way…

Why do conservative ladies wear sleeveless dresses in cold climates in the wintertime? Are they so cold-blooded they no longer feel the ambient temperature in their surroundings?

Also, none of the things he’s referring to - public rallies, interviews with reporters, or even Tweets while running for office - are remotely similar to talking shit with friends at a bar or dinner party.

I think she’s always been like this, and Trump empowered her, and a bunch of people, to stop pretending otherwise.

Part of the weird narrative they’re peddling to try to pretend they have a mandate for governing is that the protesters are being paid handsomely by Hilary Clinton/The Democrats in an effort to hide the fact that everyone loves Trump. Remember, the sort of people who voted for Trump believe being a “crisis actor” in…

Man, it’s going to take decades to get rid of all of the incompetent yahoos the “Harper Government” appointed when they were in office. This will be one more of them gone, anyway.

Yeah, in Sherlock I don’t understand why most of the characters continue to interact with him. Like, what does John get out of that friendship? Nothing, that I can tell. If he just needs an adrenaline rush he could probably make friends with a mountain climber or bike racer or whatever else who would not treat him…

Yeah, as someone who grew up not Christian (or religious at all) in a Christian environment, it’s sort of puzzling to me that these people think they’re somehow going “against culture” or fighting in some culture war just because they’re increasingly unsuccessful in forcing other people to practice their religion.…

I got a bunch of Self magazines from the past year for free when my local library got rid of them and, sort-of agreed, although it’s not a compliment. I found the magazine to be more style than substance - there just wasn’t much there at all, and it wasn’t worth more than a quick flip through looking at the pictures…

It’s because the Republican party are craven and cynical and will do anything to be in power, so they convinced themselves “he’ll come in line,” “we can control him,” “it’ll all work out.” And obviously, no, none of those things are true. And obviously Ivanka should have no role in the administration because why would…

My point is more that people used to be ashamed to be the “dumb kid” who got held back because they can’t read or do math. But as there were fewer and fewer negative consequences to being stupid, people started feeling like it was okay to be proud of their ignorance. What’s the point of trying in school if you’ll pass…

Possibly Zuckerberg should have kept Facebook an elitest invite-only network pretty much only accessible to people with some level of university education.

My partner’s white, Christian dad informed me that racism was invented by Charles Darwin and I’m really not looking forward to his Christmas explanation of Trump and how hard it is being an oppressed Christian.
