He’s not going to read this, it’s OK

They say it because that shit has worked for centuries (e.g., George Washington didn’t buy his slaves, he inherited them!) Rich whites get to have everything, so having it both ways doesn’t seem that outlandish to them.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes

I think the number of people who fail to properly train their dogs and then abuse them when they “misbehave” is probably somewhere in the 60-75% range. People really are lazy and terrible.

You seem like an incredible dork with no friends or social skills. 

I’m pretty sure that the easiest thing you can do for your own happiness is to mind your own business unless someone is getting hurt. Or to keep it moving if your neighbors are petty assholes. These kinds of disputes, starting with one neighbor being a busybody asshole and the other being a vindictive child, never end…

I can only love people I’ve met. People who know my name, at least. Sorry!

I literally cannot follow and I’m not sure I need to. 

Whenever anyone says “the media” I immediately think they’re kind of dumb. “The media” consists of thousands of individual outlets staffed by millions of individual people, all with their own points of view. Everyone who watches TV, uses the internet, listens to podcasts, etc. consumes “the media.” It’s absurd to boil…

Why do you love him eternally? Have the past few years in entertainment news taught you nothing? Don’t put these people on pedestals. They don’t deserve it. They’re just people. Fallible, often terrible people.

He’s an actor. You’re a rube.

Yang also thinks the minimum wage is bad. He’s a Republican. Fuck him, fuck anyone who takes him seriously. “Dangerous” is an apt term.

Acknowledging that our brains aren’t completely in our control means acknowledging a lot of other stuff that most people don’t seem to be able to deal with (i.e., the fact that life is literal chaos and our attempts to bring it to order and make meaning from it are mostly futile)

What a colossal piece of shit! But yeah, she’s just so kooky and funny. Queen of the internet, right guys?!?!?!?

I understand why she appeals to people—the need to believe that everything happens for a reason, and that everyone gets what they deserve. So good things only happen to good people, and bad things only happen to bad people. It’s a very childish, simplistic worldview. 

I genuinely just don’t understand why people use these products in the first place. When they work properly, how much time are they really saving you? Maybe an hour per year, tops? I understand that there may be some people who have disabilities that make these products a lifesaver, but if you don’t absolutely need a…

Yeah so I know who Louise Hay is because my kookiest friend sent me an “encouraging” text the morning of my hysterectomy (a surgery I had to have in my early 30s because they thought I had deadly deadly uterine tumors). I don’t remember exactly what it said, but it was basically like “you manifested this illness by…

It will absolutely shock you to learn, I’m sure, that different people have different priorities in life, and that therefore means people who aren’t you will be deeply frightened by things you find benign.

I think that it’s relevant for Marianne because she seems like the Louise Hay “if you’re sick, it’s your fault for being a negative person” type, and that’s something we should know about someone who wants to be president (or, in her case, grow her profile so she can make more money from her bullshit ideas).
