They didn’t say that at all. Just that they have to watch their kids because the kids can be assholes to the dog. You’re reading a lot that isn’t there into a super straight forward comment. Parents often jokingly call their kids monsters when describing the dumb shit kids do. They didn’t act like the kids “should”…

I have a slight scar over my upper lift from getting boxed by our very patient cat. I grabbed her tail one too many times and she finally swiped me. My mom (rightfully) sided with the cat and I never grabbed her tail again (fwiw I was obsessed with soft things, I wasn’t yanking her tail intentionally).

I totally agree, except I have the opposite problem. I have “resting nice face.” If someone needs directions, or they need to sit next to someone on a crowded bus, or need to use someone’s phone, or talk about their cats/kids/complain about their spouse or share their odd theories about extending their lives by living…

Thank you. My father still tells this story (I don’t remember it; I was approximately two years old):

This is definitely the correct course of action. Jeez. It’s not hard.

As a kid, I was bitten by our mini schnauzer more times than I can remember. Never once, did I not deserve it. I can’t imagine my family having euthanized her because I teased her to the point where she told me “STOP IT” the only way she knew how.

The only down side to the mask for me - a very large, mean-looking man - is that smiling is my main tool to reassure people who are visibly apprehensive around me.

My opposite-of-this—because-i-am-a-man—who-doesn’t-want-to-offend-statement is that I dislike masks because I can’t do the submissive half-smile of “we accidentally made eye contact but I promise I was just looking at the price of that box of pasta” in the grocery aisle, trying to stay out of the way of every human…

I watched that debate last night, and I fully expect to hear of more horrifying things the orange piece of shit said that I failed to notice because I was still processing the last horrifying thing he said.

Yeah but women laughing at men gets us killed, etc. Men lol’ing at other men is different.

“$750 might be a rent payment”

Great rapid response ad from the Biden campaign.

A coworker hates Trump but “couldn’t” vote for Hillary, I can’t recall who he voted for.

Nah, Pence isn’t more electable. Pence doesn’t inspire the cult devotion that Trump does. If Pence takes over, he’ll be this generation’s Gerald Ford.

Such a good point.  I never realized, until Trump, that our whole system of government is pretty much based on the honor system.

The thing is, if Trump were just a little less incompetent, had a little more self-control, and were able to even feign a hint of normal human empathy, we’d already be well on our way to an authoritarian dictatorship. That there is even a reasonable chance that Trump will be booted out of office after just four years…

Both Obamas’ speeches the last couple of days—and Trump’s response to them—remind me that this campaign season will likely be the densest and most consistent string of criticism Trump has ever faced. Yes, of course he’s been criticized nonstop since he entered the political fray—but now it’s a campaign where he’s the…

That majority of us have been staring at mayo choices our whole life; not everyone is going to be a memorable choice (and given that memorable cuts both ways, I’m ok with that).

At this point no because that is what the fucking primary was for.

I think people don't realize that the electoral college doesn't weigh "excitement" in their decision.
