There was a good sized contingent of extraordinarily devout guys in my high school in the “Youth for Christ” group. Every single one of them ended up being gay, with the Christian contingent being the perfect place for them to lay low during high school with a neverending supply of girlfriends who didn’t want to have…

I loved La La Land but damn you could tell a white dude wrote and directed the film. I’m surprised there aren’t more thinkpieces on the whole cringey white man saves jazz thing trope being repeated after Whiplash, especially when John Legend was “corrupting” jazz.  

That was my first thought too. I would bet my Christmas bonus that boy comes out in under 5 years.

*rolls eyes*

I loved Mandy Moore in that movie. She got the self-righteousness DOWN.

Right? I was trying to math how long it would have taken and it has to be like 200 hours if she spent 10 minutes on each page. This girl is in looooove.

People are way too fucking involved in other people’s lives. Also, if Jesus is real, I doubt he’d care if a child decorated a bible. In fact, coloring bible versus is like the first 8 years of going to church and you’re sent to the basement to be entertained while real church is happening upstairs.

Imagine the poor boyfriend. “I said I wanted strippers, not scriptures.”

This is what bibles looked like in the Middle Ages when they were still being hand-copied by monk scribes. All decorated with pictures and shit. Stick that in your pipes and smoke it, haters.

Personal beliefs aside, that is an impressively thoughtful and work-intensive gift.

All of this for doing what Christian monks did for centuries?

Ah, a fellow Canadian. Did you also angry whisper through most of it because you weren’t exactly sure how sound proof the walls really were and didn’t want to disturb your neighbors?

You made me laugh out loud. Thank you for this. It’s been a rough holiday season for us GenXrs and this had me rolling.

This! I was recently stuck behind someone at a security gate who had a full-on meltdown because they wanted her to follow the same procedures that literally everyone else follows. She was just utterly shocked to find out that, no, you cannot wear your coat and jewelry and shoes through the full body scanner.

I’m in my mid-40s and those restrictions have been in place as long as I can remember.

There’s always that one douche who’s just shocked - shocked! that he can’t get up and start digging in the overhead bins while the plane is 5 feet from the ground and the seatbelt sign is still on, and always one other person who’s surprised to learn they can’t blithely wander into the bathroom under the same…

This is so good. And mirrors so much of what I feel. Hopeless and angry and just so fucking full of rage at the class of men that I don’t know what to do with myself.
