It had never even occurred to me to do this to someone. Now I must hover in a totally non-weird way near my enemies, patiently waiting for the moment when their eyes become dry and they turn to me for aid.

I’m screaming.

this sounds sort of like a hostage negotiation

Freeform sounds like a brand of sanitary towels.

Let’s stamp a big red NOPE on that. You probably know far more people than you realize who have been in treatment (1 in 4 will deal with issues within their lifetime). Try asking one of them whether their viewpoint is therefore worthless.

They do indeed. Well, Fred does anyway — he has a new show with Rob Lowe. 90% sure Judge is still an extant being.

My fiancé went to a catholic school in a pretty diverse city and there was a LOT more diversity there compared to the school my dad went to in Ohio. I think it just depends on location. If I knew what city the school in the article was in I could tell you more but from what I know catholic schools in Ohio are usually…

exactly. turds helping turds.

I caught the judgy vibe on that story as well. The customers turned out to be jerks anyway, but there was also a bit of confirmation bias going on there as well. He expected them to be trash, and so they were.

And that there’s more than one way to cook eggs. RECOMMENCE THE EGG WARS, BRING IT, MOTHERFUCKERS.

He really was being a bit of an elitist fuck, and I say that as a self-defined snob on several issues.

A lot of servers make (less douchey) socioeconomic observations about customers in BCO. I was just pointing out the “poors be stupid” vibe that dude was throwing.

poorer folks were a part of the landscape

I get oddly hopeful, and I’m a realist to the point of being borderline misanthropic. Here’s a man who has been kicked by life almost as hard as a person can be, and he still gets up every fucking day and does what he can to improve the lives of other people. Makes me realize I need to get my shit together and do…

Shit yeah, man. I’m also over 40, and I’m currently kinda-drunk and am painting white tree silhouettes on my dove grey living room wall for some indeterminate reason (probably because “drunk.”) Rock on, dude.

Cool! I hope the surgeries go well for him and that he’ll have full function and sensation!

Miniaturizing animals rarely has a good outcome. So many health problems, including mental issues, are introduced.

My friend had her wedding dress made into baptismal gowns for her babies.

Pffft I don’t know if that’s a normal people problem. I can’t imagine any normal person spending a ton of money on a beautiful dress only to keep it in a bag that could be mistaken for trash.

Yeah. I feel like I remember him making a full-force stupid quote about feminism over a year ago. Like offensively bad. And it’s just weird that in a gossip roundup blurb about SlutWalk, one woman is named, two dude allies-participants are named.
