.... Really?

"And then, on Thursday, nearly two thousand years after one man had been nailed to a tree for saying how great it would be to be nice to people for a change..."

I think you're totally right, in the sense that this value has become more prevalent in our communal moral compass, but I don't know if that means people are getting any better or worse.

Yeah, I think that's a good point, in that perhaps/ probably cultural morality* has improved**. (*Meaning the commonly accepted moral values and actions? Ish?)

(Totally on the same page as you, but I don't know whether we've "sunk this far" or just... never been any better.)

The update in the linked article says they "addressed the hack" (which hopefully means "fixed"?) so it may be okay to use the site now?

It's horrible when any children are tried as adults. : (

I think writer is Julianne, not Jia ( Tolentino)?

I used to think he was somewhat sincere (I know, I know, I'm really gullible when people talk... but like also really prone to conspiracy theories somehow? I can doubt globally but not locally, or something? Anyway...) but now he really creeps me out and makes me feel sad and empty. : (

Some people will forgive a lot for hotness/ beauty, though. (Or even not perceive the flaws they might otherwise spot as red flags.)

It's all very clockwork orange (minus the ridiculous mistake of a 21st chapter).

I'm sad to see Python's innocent name dragged through the dirt. : (

Same, I feel you. (But also I do have a "sex towel" for protecting the sheets/ mattress. I don't care if it's not sexy, I am not ruining the mattress. Those things are expensive.)

I don't think it is. If this is a poll. : )

(Those books are seriously THE BEST. Every time I read them I realize something new about them. And after reading Paradise Lost I was just like DAMN Pullman did such a good job.)

Also, the whole fighting catty thing that so many pop stars seem to feel the need to do is just... incredibly repulsive. Feuds, rivalries, whatever. It's really really immature and gross.

This goes higher than you think.
