“My husband has the absurd idea that any one-piece is a “granny” swimsuit, any two-piece that is not a bikini is lying about being a granny swimsuit...”

If you are really intent on getting a thing done without interference from other stuff you like or from distractions, hyper-scheduling yourself like this can work.

Can the President unilaterally pass laws? I thought that was the literal point of a legislature?

My dad’s Thing growing up was banana sandwiches. Apparently Dale Earnhardt Jr is the only other person alive anyone knows who eats these, but I love them. They’re just white bread, bananas, and mayo. That’s it. People say it’s gross, but I say it’s no more gross than putting peanut butter on your bananas, which is…

I have legit wondered if the 2nd Amendment can be interpreted to mean that citizens have the right to own weapons equal to the power of weapons used by the military. That would get really special, really fast -- and possibly lead to a takedown of the whole amendment.

Seriously. Someone just come in with a wrecking ball and beat the shit out of it. Fuck legality.

Whether or not you can push, encourage, or whatever your friend into sanity really depends on why she’s going full TERF.

I’m genuinely impressed at the people here who are being consistent about their views on capital punishment. I’ve seen so many in various comments threads on Kinja who are like “I hate the death penalty, it’s evil, abolish it” and then turn around and say “he raped someone? she murdered someone? KILL THEM”

IDK about a debunking video, but CGP Grey did a great video on why yes, the math does work out. He makes a point that I agree with here -- the reason the buildings are so revered is, in part, because they’re a “monarchy zoo.” This is one of the few places you can see structures backed by a real royal family that…

This is all answering the wrong question. “What does money mean to society” is what these people are all talking about. “What is money” is a simpler question. It’s a proxy for bartering. That’s it. It’s a universal standard to measure value by so that people can trade services and goods without having to haul large…

The answer is that this answer in the article here is horseshit, small-minded, and mean. You shouldn’t follow it. Some people will be like that, but others will give a shit. Find the ones who do.

I care. I give a shit. I care because people who are depressed or low mental resources or whatever else get shat on for needing help, reassurance, and support, and I am viciously angry about that.

OK, the first two questions were fun to read the answer to, but “fuck you” is just a shitty answer for an advice column. “Here, let me call out your question only to tell you I don’t give enough fucks to answer it, and I don’t care, and you don’t have any problems.”

Boston shut down the MBTA and blocked downtown from car traffic while simultaneously telling protesters to leave the scene immediately. How do you leave Boston Common? You take the fucking T. Then they beat up protesters for not leaving.

Suicide in a bunker is too good for him. Drag him into the daylight and put him down like an animal.

“It’s not about you” is a very insulting statement you can really make to someone who is genuinely trying. Like, okay, what does that accomplish? Just go up to them and say “you selfish bitch, shut up.” Same thing.

I feel guilty about things I directly am to blame for. I feel many things about stuff out of my sphere of blame — a desire to see them changed, motivation to put effort into it and talk to others and whatnot — but I do not take credit for them, so I don’t feel guilty. There’s a difference.

Because using shitty wording makes people not listen to you. Do you want to feel good or be effective?

These are very different! Complicit means you bear some guilt. Benefiting from is much milder.

OK? I didn’t say I got my feelings hurt. I’m saying that we should be using rhetoric that works on anyone, not just blowing off steam at the expense of others.
