Great stuff. I’ve often noticed this as well. I tend to be competitive, so I may be one of those asshole men yelling at the ref. But I never yell at my teammate, and I certainly make my fair share of mistakes, so I try to play the ball to any one who is open, regardless of gender or ability. I’ve definitely noticed a…

What if women who wanted kids started matching and entering into civil partnerships with other women who want kids (straight women too?) And joining single mom/civil mom co-ops? I mean . . . don’t we already do this de facto? So many husbands/dads out there only have minimal involvement by his choice. What if we just…

sure, but they did commit a misdemeanor crime while fleeing rape torture and death for them and their children in their home countries so, y’know, gotta think about both sides of it, huh?

I’m reading through the comments on this post and am kinda surprised no one else has gone with the incredibly simple solution of black sheets. Good for the occasional sleep-leaks too. Just wash them and go about your life with no concerns about stains.

are there no prisons? are there no workhouses?

I don’t see any reason why they can’t continue being artists. Now, whether they’re popular artists or not is up to the audience.

What is the worst living thing on Earth? If you answered “centipedes,” you’re correct! But coming in a close second are humans, of course.

HARD disagree.

I am SURE someone has written an exhaustive hyper detailed breakdown of her gown down to which trees the silkworms that made the silk ate, but a quick look at the gown shows a likely un-stretchy duchesse type silk satin (no stretch), a portrait neckline, and with a sleeve length that is AFAIK dictated by…

I didn’t mind your almost chuckle-worthy dick joke and funny gif.

Me, too. I’m sorry.

Sometimes I don’t know if it’s better to come here, to this sort-of echo chamber of mostly sane people who also see how nuts the world is right now, or to stay away, because...well, the truth is fucking awful.

Hugs.

Peppa Pig is by far the best written children’s show on TV.

Sounds like where I grew up. The reason I’m poor and unemployed is because all these other people/groups are holding me down. The reason that black person is poor and unemployed is because they’re too lazy to use the bootstraps god gave them.

Related: As a white person who grew up poor and then got my ass educated and into decent field after taking a look at my family (but who has lived in the evil city all her life), I am sick and goddamned tired of poor white people giving up on themselves, refusing to adapt, having hoardes of children who are not…

Them: “Show me an example of structural racism.”

This reminds me of a time when I was going to private school on a basketball scholarship, so nobody thought I could hack it in my non-hoop related classes. This one vengeful English teacher, who liked to bully other kids, never believed I was as smart as I had proven I was time and time again... Especially when it…

Part of it comes from the belief that the world is ever-changing, and behaviors that were once tolerated, aren’t anymore. That’s why you see the Mens’ Rights Activism bullshit. “Well, pinching her ass is a form of flattery!”. Some of the most insufferable fucking people on the planet.

I’m more than a little worried that all this breathless reporting and thinkpieces on incels is just going to give their (admittedly attractive to men who feel isolated) worldview more exposure while driving the core believers to radicalize. No good can come of this.

A too-wide generalization but one that may hold some truth here: Women tend to internalize pain; men externalize it. Both are dangerous for the person in pain, but only one of them is dangerous to the rest of the world.

This is EASILY my favorite review of this film. The inevitable trolling of the butt-hurt comics nerds only proves its greatness. I’ll never tire of the sad spectacle of “fans” who are so emotionally invested in what is essentially a massive marketing scheme designed to take as much of their money as possible,…

That’s why I still tackle my underarm hair with precision I give no other activity. I can roll with leg hair and my face stubble to a point but I’ve had a few people recoil at my underarms with revulsion I usually reserve for things that aren’t as benign as body hair... it doesn’t bother me but the expectations of…
