Most of the time, when people talk about how “there were white slaves, too” they’re referring to indentured servitude, which was temporary and entered into voluntarily. But the more important point, in my view, is that even if there are examples of societies enslaving white people on the basis of their race in a way…

The entire family:

The way our society USES them is problematic, in that huge overuse has bred “superbugs” that are resistant to pretty much everything we have, but the drugs themselves are perfectly useful and very often lifesaving when used properly.

it’s funny how this “realism” never applies the other way.

There shouldn’t be a poll, because there is only one right answer.

Hey! One of them was on Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me recently!

RE: Giri vs Girl, kerning matters, dog:

The argument against Sex Bots, at least for me, is convincing on two points. In the focus on fembots it’s reinforcing already sexist ideas about women. In media already, women are told they are to act a certain way, look a certain way, and think a certain way in order to please a man. The Sex Bots continues that…

Yeah. Seems about right.

Was it grain?

I came here fully expecting Normcore to be some form of boring porn.

It’s so damn frustrating, and terrifying, at the same time. It explains why so many of their decisions don’t make sense, and why so many people are willing to vote directly against their own interests. No depth, little real intelligence, and also - very little empathy. Most literally don’t care what happens to others…

I have a family member that is not very bright (common sense wise). He supports Trump and I’ve tried to talk politics with him and get him to see that Trump is pond scum but no. That is an impossible task. If I say “he mistreats women” and give examples- he says “ no, that’s media stuff. He loves women. He’s said so…

This is the only acceptable spider video. (As a person who is uncomfortable with spiders.)

It was sad too because he genuinely loved his parents and they hadn’t kicked him out or stopped supporting him, and they clearly still loved him in their incredibly flawed way, but just wouldn’t accept his being gay as something that was okay.

I know! I wanted to scoop him up and say, “Oh honey, come live where I live. You won’t have to pretend anymore.”

I love Connie Britton. She made American Ultra and This is Where I Leave You much, much better movies than they would’ve been otherwise. Lady needs her own show. She has that special “I won’t put up with your bullshit but you’ll still like me” incandescence.

I would wear the shoes. Any more than that, and I’d feel like Minnie Pearl.

If they ask you, “Mommy, why isn’t that lady wearing a shirt?” and you answer “Oh my God Tommy, close your eyes! Hurry! Don’t look!”
