The only tree I ever saw explode was hit by lightning. No shit, it was awesome. Lit up in a fireball, sounded like a gunshot.

This is a thing political organizations or charities can handle. Pay for and distribute stamps. This also at least gives some money to the USPS.

Just saying, that is fucking awesome. So is your boss.

I’m not sure that anyone doesn’t have any preferences. People usually want their kids to be easy to raise and get along with, and that is reliant on whatever biases and stereotypes are in their head as well as what they like. My family of outdoorsy athletes had no idea what to do with a nerd. I wouldn’t know what to…

Speeding up a track and calling it nightcore is also a way to let people pirate off Youtube while not calling it copyright infringement. The downloader can just slow down the song in Audacity or whatever and then they get the original song.

For once, I agree with Fuck-Up here. You are not an oracle; you can’t predict the future. You can’t know that anything you might have said or done would have done anything at all.

Yeah, I feel like this is still majorly picking on someone suffering. Vincent/Helen just wants to live their golden years out in peace without being thrown into public scorn.

I’m annoyed at the rumors going around that COVID is only really dangerous here because America is obese. That’s very untrue. While being obese can raise your risk of harm from COVID, being lean or fit will not save you. It is not a vaccine. COVID is not a sloth disease. (Neither is obesity sometimes, but that’s a…

Yeah my first thought was “this isn’t a sign you’re trans, this is a sign of DID.” I mean, people with DID can be trans, but I wouldn’t use this as evidence there.

I’m reluctant to start sounding the alarm about COVID re-infections because that is a major can of worms that will upend our entire pandemic strategy if it’s true. I’d want to be 100% sure of this before spreading rumors.

Thank you! :)

What are the rewards? So much liberal cred. So much.

I’m trying to figure out what she wanted here. If she just wanted to feel like part of a historically persecuted minority (IDK why), she’s already Jewish -- that’s some serious history right there. Why pretend to be black?

Whoa. So one is basically starving the other -- that’s intense. :(

I’ll raise a glass to that sentiment. This year has been a flaming pile of donkey shit.

It’s no wonder so many asshole men vote against abortion and birth control — no one would be willing to take that risk for them if they didn’t make it impossible not to.

MIT just flat out kept incoming students from returning, for the most part. The problem is, it did so really fucking stupidly. Its “who gets to stay here” policy was random. People who were being sent back to their families in China (when China was the epicenter early this year) got refused. People with abusive…

What was the original?

The idea that pregnancy isn’t dangerous has the same root as why people don’t think measles are dangerous. We’ve made pregnancy so safe (even with how dangerous it still is!) that people have forgotten the historical death toll. Measles used to ravage populations, and women used to die in childbirth all the time. It…

“Don’t rely on womens’ birth control methods, those are for them.”
