“Unfortunately, I do not have the same aptitude for the written word, but if I did I can assure you that my tale would be about the most epic love story — ours.”

OK, I’m a wee bit shocked that so many people apparently didn’t know what “complicit” meant to move it to the top of the search, but heartened by the fact the bothered to look it up to and be informed rather than let it float by and assume they knew.

“This failing so-called wine barr is terrible. No class. Terrible atmosphere. Sad.”

Given safety regulations, the theater would also have to be well-lit so kids could see on the jungle-gym and run back and forth to the seating area. Between the excess light and sound, what’s the fucking point of this theater?

Not to mention, unless that netting is somehow hyper-sound-absorbent, those awful little shits are gonna be kicking up a huge ruckus in there, too. I can’t recall, the last time I was near a playground, thinking, “Yes. This is the noise I wish was going on inside a movie theater while I was trying to watch a movie.”

I have no doubt she sleeps like a baby. A live one. That’s in a crib and not a car trunk.

I’m so tired of reading this “pull yourself up by your bootstraps” shit. Investing a few hundred dollars is going to make up for the $8,000 it costs for the uninsured to give birth to a healthy baby in a hospital?

Oh, so I can get great Health Insurance on your new plan for 100 bucks a month? Done! Where do I sign?

I’ve heard of this kind of thing before, parents inadvertently suffocating or poisoning their child in bizarre efforts to quiet them. I think it’s a fairly common form of child abuse that doesn’t always result in death.

No, because he has a therapeutic use exemption. His testosterone is kept in the normal range and therefore he gains no advantage to other guys.

Further: LOTS of states with major HS wrestling programs don’t segregate by gender, and it’s honestly not really an issue. You weigh in, you wrestle the person across the mat from you, and the person who wins is the person who’s better. This shouldn’t be complicated.

Any outrage people choose to feel about this should be directed at the people who made Mack wrestle girls, not Mack himself. That’s fucking idiotic. And before someone comes in and says “He shouldn’t have competed at all if it wasn’t fair,” here’s a preemptive gif:

going back to being white?? You are white dumb dumb

That’s the point, he doesn’t want to wrestle girls, girls don’t want to wrestle him, and the UIL is saying that the situation created by their rules that require him to wrestle as a girl and upsets everyone except the UIL isn’t their problem.

Yeah, he should be wrestling with the guys. Like he wants to.

Going to try to be as careful as possible here, but while he should be able to compete in the boys division without everyone losing their shit, don’t those parents have a point that someone on testosterone maybe shouldn’t be able to wrestle girls?  

I also don’t think they understand that women’s bathrooms have stalls. They seem to think a trans woman is gonna go into a women’s restroom, hike up her skirt and use a urinal.

This just shows you how isolated in their little bubble these people are. This guy clearly doesn’t know any trans people in real life; they are just some boogey-men out there that he imagines looks like John Cleese in a dress and acts like a sex-crazed lunatic. Faced with an actual, real-life trans person who just…

The only moral abortion is my abortion. The only time I do not insult Obamacare is when my insurance is cut. The only time I promote gay rights is when my child comes out to me.

Good point. We know he cares a lot about one of them, at least.
