I have always contended that evo psych was invented by middle-aged college professors to justify being predatory towards barely legal coeds.

Why would they even have to pretend these clubs are secret?

Also...

Its SUPER cringey how much old humor was basically “oh boy, I sure do HATE my wife, I hope she dies, or at least I can die to avoid her!”

I have always been surprised by the number of people I know who seem to actively dislike their spouse and/or children. The societal pressure was strong, so they got married to someone who seemed good at the time, bought a house, popped at 2.5 kids, and generally distracted themselves from the conveyor belt of it all…

THANK YOU for saying this. I also came from a family where not only my mother got fucked over, but almost every single one of my aunts got fucked over. And some of those women are still in their marriages and tell me they’re happy. But, they sure as fuck don’t look happy.

Joey would allow himself to be persuaded by conspiracy theories INTO getting vaccinated, somehow.

There was so much in that trailer that convinced me not to watch this; I don’t know why they bothered putting James Corden in just to hammer that point home.

I’m autistic so my guide is this:

I’m starting to think that Paul was a prick.

That 1 Corinthians reference cited in the article is specifically written by Paul, who was celibate (supposedly) and very clearly thought poorly of women (nevermind how Jesus himself treated them!). Most certainly the type of person who should be prescribing a frequency standard within others’ sex lives...

it’s also “unbiblical” in the strictest sense of the word that these sorts of people use.

I’m going back and forth between being furious and feeling sick to my stomach.

Here’s the thing, though: Simone doesn’t have a “mental” issue to deal with, here. She got a case of the twisties (a real physiological condition) and she knows that if she tried to compete, tried to focus on what she was doing, and had all the training space she could get (like a foam pit), she still would not have…

Oh for fuck’s sake. Nails don’t hurt or cause permanent damage or make you literally imobile.

They look like bassoon reeds

Yep. I’ve given up on trying to reply to people who’ve replied to a comment I’ve made. I don’t have the time to scroll through all those comments just to try and find the one. Even then, I’ve found that the reply just isn’t there. I have to imagine they measure comments/replies/replies to replies as equalling some…

This is so accurate! When my then-girlfriend was devouring the Outlander series, she insisted I try them. I was hesitant, due to the label of “Romance” printed in the dust jacket, but once I picked up the first one, I couldn’t put them down. There was ten times the amount of history and brutal war content than romance,…

That all the Democrats in the US Senate could walk out, and there would still be a quorum to conduct business. Thus, the Democratic senators cannot do what the Texan Democratic senators did, because instead of gumming up the system, it would be handing it over to the Republicans without contest.

The chick lit issue. I read a lot of pop sci-fi and fantasy that are incredibly entertaining and full of amazing worlds, but if there is a female protagonist it is somehow automatically chick lit. Completely ignore all the amazing action and story, the heroine kisses someone and it is now all invalid.
