I just can’t with people who say ignorant shit like that.  Children don’t know themselves?  What kind of fantasy world do you have to be living in to think that an ELEVEN YEAR OLD is a blank slate waiting to be programmed?  Just... my god.  

The cost of living has also been climbing year by year, while wages stay stagnant, and in many states servers make less than federal minimum wage specifically because there’s an expectation that they’ll be receiving tips to offset their criminally low pay. It’s a cliche for a reason, but... if you can’t afford to tip,…

Ack, Twitter thread got a little borked. More starting here:

Of course we can’t get clarification on this now, but yes, it would seem that Jen (the adoptive mom who acted as a homeschooling SAHM but who was really addicted to online gaming and Facebook updating and hippie-ass New Age “transformational festivals”, according to the Broken Harts podcast) made him do it. https://www…

There’s so much to unpack in this film, but dismantling the familial hierarchy is an angle I hadn’t considered, and I can’t wait to rewatch Us with this framework in mind.  

Even though Flores has said she’s not supporting Sanders for the 2020 election, you think she’s lying?  Wow.  Keep telling on yourselves.  We see you.  

I dare you to find a picture of Joe Biden nuzzling the back of Barack Obama’s head, the way he’s done to women.  

Whewwwwwwwwwwww, categorizing a request for men to keep their hands to themselves as crucifixion?  You’re telling on yourself in SO many ways here, my dude.  

lol bye troll

Hey, can you shed some light on why folks include non-human skin colors when they try to make a broad statement about racial inclusion? Like, you said “black, white, or blue”, but... there aren’t blue people. Just like how I hear people say they don’t care if someone is black white yellow purple or polka dot... it’s…

Weird, I exclusively use the mobile app, have been for several years now, and I’ve never had problems making playlists or navigating to an artist’s main page. It’s always been as simple as tapping the three dots in the upper right corner when a song is playing and selecting “add to playlist” (the very first option…

Weird how Tom Hanks has gone his entire career without making his Greek Orthodoxy the cornerstone of his public persona.  It’s almost like he’s talented enough to not need to do that.  

I’m surprised it never occurred to you, in all your gyrations to excuse the act of telling an assault victim to get assaulted again and to get it on video, that by setting up a situation where an assault can be recorded the victim opens themselves up to accusations of making a false rape claim.  It would be BEYOND…

So you object to women displaying their sexuality unless it’s done in a way that lets you pretend it’s not sexual.  Got it.  

If twerking is vulgar, then so is bellydancing, since they both involve isolation and manipulation of specific muscles.  

In the conservative mindset, everything a woman does is for the benefit of men.  They can’t wrap their minds around the idea that a woman might do something for her own benefit and enjoyment.  

I really wish they’d have some of their seasonal frozen snacks year-round... I was so sad when I went into my neighborhood TJ’s a couple of days after Christmas only to find that the mini Brie en croute had already been removed from the freezer case.

But her advice is simply to consider whether or not your belongings are a benefit to your life or not, and if not, to let them go. I’m not sure why that advice is “wrong”, but as I sit here looking at my six bookshelves with more than a few books that I have to admit I probably will never read again if I’m being…

29, not 20.  

Well, that’s Evangelicals for you... their guiding principle doesn’t really seem based in the Gospel, it appears to be more along the lines of “do as I say, not as I do”.  They’re great at prescripivist pronouncements about the only proper way to be, but not so great at following those pronouncements.
