• Introverts get exhausted by social interaction and need solitude to recharge.

Goddamnit Apple you’re doing it wrong.

And the fact that while schoolkids know that being sexist or racist is bad, they don’t actually know what those words mean.

TBH I don’t disagree with Jerry Seinfeld. I don’t think what he’s referencing is “killing” comedy (that’s an overdramatic characterization; if it was, then why do comedy movies draw millions, comedy TV shows draw millions, comedy specials draw millions?), but I think a specific type of collegiate thinking is creating…

You say “absurd difficulty”, I say “doesn’t coddle the weak”.

I want to preface my response by saying that I absolutely am strongly in favor of gay rights and think that under anti-discrimination laws, a baker should have to bake a wedding cake for a gay couple just as for any other couple. But this wasn’t a wedding cake, it was a cake with a specific message on it saying…

He’s backing what he sees as freedom of speech; it’s pretty clear he does not agree with bigotry.

Is it ok to be against rape but still think this sucks

The point is the softening of the language. It has to stop. Call it what it is and it will have 100% of the force you actually want to use here.

Don’t bother. It’s another softening of language so people who can’t take reality can hide behind it.

It sounds slightly gentler at first, but it’s a bit insidious if you really think about it. No one suffers from depression of their own free will.

Don’t you know you can’t be realistic on Jezebel?

You just have to swallow whatever garbage they try to shove down your throat and smile.

These women are the future of out society... Allah help us.

It remains an inelegant phrase. Died by suicide means “died by killing themselves,” it’s like saying died by fatality.

“died by suicide” has to be one of the sloppiest phrases I’ve heard in awhile. You commit suicide or you kill yourself. Suicide is a motive, not a method.

I just read through the comments section of the Tacoma Stories link and someone fairly close to the situation said that her father had threatened to put her up for adoption. If this is true, coupled with the hair cutting off incident, it paints a picture of an abuser who should be in jail.

Have a berry. You can cut it up for your cereal.

Well, technically, you have to be in the batter’s box to hit, not in the field.

Because they are not paid to hit. They are paid to pitch.
