Speaking as a recovering alcoholic in the AA sense, I know several (myself included) alcoholics who can pause their drinking for a month so long as they are substituting some other addiction (emotional drama, adrenaline, self-harm, eating, gambling, etc.). Whether or not you get DTs when you pause your drinking is not…

People that defend rapists don’t get to tell me about gender inequality in movies.

IS this the same Natalie Portman who supported Polanski? Fuck her

People that are willing to martyr themselves and put up with shitty treatment from assholes in order to fulfill their own dreams are a huge part of the problem.

The games should be played earlier for both the players and fans. And the championship should be on a Saturday. Same with the Superbowl. Forcing me to go to work tired and hungover isn’t cool.

It’s all fine and well (and even admirable) that you’re able to laugh at yourself—or at jokes that reference conditions you have. However, you, as an individual, don’t have the right to speak for others in terms of what they are or are not bothered by.

It’s also worth noting that blackface has its roots in some…

In Evangelical circles this is called “working on your testimony”. After he gets through this he can tell people how the Lord saw him through this and how much stronger in the faith he is etc. A proper Christian response to this IMO would be shame and an abject apology to the young lady while expressing sorrow to God…

He must have double vision something fierce. Everyone knows you eat at the Y.

Things like this.

This is true, but don’t underestimate the role that defense contractors play in shaping that policy that leads to using those tools. Defense contractors profit by having an oversized military and constant need for that military, and they are not above putting pressure on lawmakers to make sure there is always demand…

I’m assuming is flopping would look like this:

COULD CARE LESS. The origin of “I could care less” is in its sarcasm.

You are soooo right. What an idiot. For everyone’s benefit, here is an example of a sentence properly using “couldn’t care less” and “could care less”:

Sometimes I take it for granite that people know how these things work.

I wouldn’t be so quick to say that. I’ve seen droves of millennials D.C. transplants adopt the Nats and Caps. It’s a trendy thing for them to go to the games and be in the loop about what’s happening. Those company sponsored outing aren’t always full of people into the Nats/Caps, but a lot of them are. It also feeds…
