I’d argue that the comedic movies and shows of today are pretty terrible. Something like All In the Family and Married with Children wouldn’t be put on network television today. The crazy thing is, as ‘politically incorrect’ both those shows were, they were really making fun of small-minded and offensive people.

TBH I don’t disagree with Jerry Seinfeld. I don’t think what he’s referencing is “killing” comedy (that’s an overdramatic characterization; if it was, then why do comedy movies draw millions, comedy TV shows draw millions, comedy specials draw millions?), but I think a specific type of collegiate thinking is creating…

That’s like saying that a white presenting octaroon that’s been passing has had the lived experience of a black person, tho. And I say this as the mother of a pale biracial child. It’s not the same. It is an authentic experience of a masked black person that the world treats as white. Just as Caitlyn enjoyed the…

I have seen a lot of middle class white transwomen write blogs on how they are SHOCKED at how unsafe they feel after they start presenting as a woman.

I don’t think that piece is anywhere near that simple. When I read that piece I do see a number of flaws with the presentation and occasional content of the opinions being shared, but for the most part I do see some serious issues worthy of being raised. When a cisgender woman listens to a transgender woman discuss…

Is it ok to be against rape but still think this sucks

You could be right. But I have a sneaking, horrible suspicious that it might be even worse than that. That Josh learned that behavior from his dad (or maybe his mom, but usually it’s the dad). And that that’s why the cop is a family friend, because those two guys had something in common. And that’s why they have so…

Alright I’m going to comment on this statement from the article because I’m tired of all the dancing around it. That this guy was into child porn is not a coincidence. There is only one narrative here that fits as far as I’m concerned. Sorry to make it about Josh once again but this particular aspect of the situation…

Pure speculation on my part, but.

My theory is they know he’ll fuck it up.

“I expected my children, Star and Gangrel, would be skyclad during their lessons. I am very disappointed, and I shan’t be taking them to the Solstice bonfire in protest.”

Come on. You’re sending your kids to a private school named Gaia and this freaks you out? I’d be happy just to learn they weren’t showering in bong water.

How does the dildo library above accomplish either? It is beyond weird and gross for an adult to take a group of kids to a sex shop. It just is. The fact that she did it without parental consent goes beyond the pale.

Nope. Best practices for suicide reporting recommend not using “committed,” which sounds like a crime or, to religious communities, like a sin, and “kill yourself” is just insensitive, crude, and poorly phrased. “Died by suicide” is the phrasing recommended by mental health professionals and the American Foundation…

I think that you probably just did more to reinforce why people think 'snobby' wine people are insufferable, than you did to refute it.

I mean.

I think the point of the campaign is for the more everyday, low-priced brands like Mattel would produce these kinds of toys so more families could afford them. This is just a small but important step in the right direction.

I wasn’t going to read that because I don’t click links, but I did because of what you said and actually... if his account of things is true, I kind of agree with him? I don’t agree with his choice of words, but I do agree with him sticking up for his employee and not backing down.
That being said, I find it hard to…

Purely from the press, I thought Blake was an idiot that Amy was wasting her precious time with/got her into drugs and therefore was the devil. I saw him a year or so ago on the Jeremy Kyle show no less, talking to addicts about rehab and how to overcome denial within addiction and work towards recovery. He was living…

I have an allergy to raw tomatoes (among other things). One of my “friends” refused to believe that someone could be allergic to tomatoes at all, much less just raw ones. She decided to test me by serving me a burrito with tomatoes hidden inside it. Thank goodness my allergy isn’t a life threatening variety. Thanks…
