Get hit in the face by a Brillo box filled with rocks at the Andy Warhol Museum

Assholes are using the existence of 3 Black jurors to excuse this travesty as though it’s not bullshit.

This is good, but honestly, the more progressive thing would be to admit that there’s not really a good reason for an airline to specify the presumed genitals of a passenger in the first place.

They also don’t understand Catholicism, apparently.

I recently heard a podcaster (I think it was on Sawbones) argue that we shouldn’t say people are “anti-vaxx” but rather “pro-preventable disease.” I’d like to see this take off. It’s still an accurate description but is more effective as making these people look as stupid as they are.

Those four themes definitely hold true in my completely anecdotal Facebook experience. I would add one more: human rights. A lot of anti-vax parents I see on Facebook tend to emphasize how mandating vaccinations is somehow infringing on their intrinsic rights as human beings (no word on how spreading preventable…

Exactly. It’s like these parents think if their child isn’t “perfect” it’s not worth having. They remind me of those people who would have another child just to provide an kidney or something for their sibling. How fucked up do you have to be to have a kid and then tell that kid “Sorry you’re just spare parts for the…

I agree with you but at the same time I never understood how white nationalist is a softer word than white supremacist. There are 75 million POC in America so if you’re advocating for America to be a white nation then you’re explicitly arguing for the expulsion or extinction of 75 million people. That’s genocide no…

Disney World when there aren’t crowds is actually a lot of fun even for adults. When we went in May it was so empty that after we rode Space Mountain there was nobody in line so we went again. We went back in summer and the whole experience was completely different. It was pretty miserable. 

I’ll let you in on the bitter truth; you are still a four year old running away from her in department stores and don’t realize it.

“What’s the answer to the first question?”

As an adult I’m soooo glad I was a stubborn, insolent kid with trust issues already, now finding out these horror stories. It kept me safe.

Gah, you’re right, I’m fixing. I should have just sold highlighter palettes.

I had the same experience as you. I went to Catholic grade school and we were encouraged (read: nearly bullied) into doing confessions face to face. Even as a kid I had such an issue with the idea of telling a stranger anything about myself so I could be forgiven by God. It didn’t make logical sense to me, let alone…

Oof, that was me in highschool. I refused to do the face to face confession, because it freaked me out having some old guy demanding to know our teenage secrets, even explicitly asking questions about whether we’d had thoughts of sex.

As I look back on my Catholic upbringing, I can’t see how confession was useful or helpful at all. For me it was just awkward, creepy and pointless. And this wasn’t even the face-to-face kind; we just had the darkened confessionals in the church, with a dim silhouette murmuring penances, as if from a menu, from the…

A friend of mine in high school was raised Mormon. He said his bishop pushed my friend repeatedly to confess in explicit detail all the times my friend jerked off.

To wonder is human, to watch is a sign of depravity.

OK then, clearly viewing habits aren’t your only disturbing trait.

you have some very disturbing viewing habits
