UBI would save us so many issues and, ironically, would help capitalism do its thing. Right now, workers have to end up in shitty wage-slave conditions because they have to eat food and live. They’re not getting any money elsewhere. If we had a baseline UBI, something where you could get cheap food and live in cheap…

Definitely don’t, because you will totally get pregnant, that’s where babies out of wedlock come from! The succubus gets sperm from some random dude, then turns into an incubus and puts it in you.

“Florida health officials say that the reopening of Disney World, Universal Studios, and other theme parks have not caused any covid-related outbreaks.”

I respect monks and nuns a lot, and sometimes I envy their lives. They have very regimented, scheduled lives without the agony that comes with military training (the other highly regimented job). As someone who likes stability and constancy and is also religious, I’ve considered the lifestyle to just avoid most of the…

Ugh. I’ve gotten destroyed too many times by this shit. And I’ve tried it, too — I just don’t have the willpower and energy to not eat (which is good, or I’d have become another teenage anorexia story). I feel awful when I don’t eat.

There’s something to be said for not assuming marriage is permanent. I don’t mind the idea that two people agree that they’ll get together, and if it doesn’t work, it doesn’t work.

“I currently have a probably broken toe because I dropped a large wooden cutting board on it.”

How in the absolute hell did you land like that? O.o Did you like...fall face first, catch yourself with your arms, then fall through and belly flop?

Ohhh I got one. This was pre-pandemic, of course. It’s the story of the only bone I have ever broken in my life.

People in my extended social group plus in many places I’ve been online.

As someone who’s entering my thirties and watching my unpaired friends get antsy, it makes sense as to why. There’s a dip in dateable people around that age, especially if you’re a 30-something woman looking for a man, because there is a solid chance you want children sooner rather than later (just statistics +…

“You will live with the choice you made because making choices and then living with them is all we can do.” That’s not much of a “how.” It’s a non-answer — you live because dying sucks, and you can’t change the fact that this choice happened, QED. That’s not good answer, if you ask me.

Preface to all of this: “cancel culture” is defined in my mind as people grouping up online or in other media to demand the wholesale shunning of works and media by a specific creator.

I still love this story, but it qualifies as things going sideways, so here you go. No shame.

I would really like to see more people forego bio-children and choose adoption, fostering, or hell, even just being amazing to local kids. “It takes a village,” right? Parents are on their own enough as it is.

I would be worried they would go down as martyrs for the economy — the “look, even our president will die for the prosperity of the country” thing.

This hits me in a pretty bad place. Not everyone is thrilled about life.

Insert all the whiners here who are like “but men are always better at all athletics than all women, ever”

Yes, they’re flavor holes! Holes where good flavor should be.
