These are the women who have already convinced themselves that Bad Things don’t happen to Nice Girls (because if that were possible, it could happen to them, which is too terrifying to contemplate), therefore she must be lying.

Russia has been manipulating our elections by firing up hateful conservative voters in larger numbers. The way to beat them is to fire up enough liberal voters to counter those votes. If you cede the idea that you have any voice at all in this election, they’ve already won.

If our post-2016 reality has revealed anything, it’s that a good portion of the US electorate values being overly emotional, easy to anger, vindictive, and clearly partisan to the exclusion of rationality, fairness or a functioning democracy.

Lifehacker, I will use autocorrect however I damn well please. Stop being a joyless scold.

AMEN.

Half of us reached that number a long time ago. For the other half, no number is high enough. 

TL;DR: Cats respond best to people who don't act like they're entitled to cats' affection. 

I want to create new burner accounts just to give you more stars. (Unfortunately I’m too lazy.)

Was anyone else bothered by the resolution of the “We need that gun!” plot? Shades just grabs it out of the rubble when no one’s looking and later hands it to Misty, who is thrilled, as if it’s actual evidence of something.

Exactly the point. The kids are twisting the superficial vocabulary of critical thinking to “prove” what they already think they know, not actually engaging in critical thinking.

My brother, a middle school teacher, says his school attempts this, but the students just use the “critical thinking” techniques to poke holes in whatever they don’t want to believe and confirm whatever they do. I think maybe we’re just beyond saving.

There are many terrible people who I think the world would be better without, but I don’t normally wish suffering on anyone. That said, if I could give Stephen Miller testicular cancer, kidney stones, rheumatoid arthritis, and AIDS, I would do so cheerfully.

Can we secede already? I’m tired of sharing a country with these assholes. When I say “we,” I’m not being geographically particular. Pick some states; I’ll move.

I run mine when I run out of dishes. There’s usually at least a little extra space on the top rack.

Same here. I live in a warm climate that bugs adore, and my bin stores in the house, so the containers need to be clean. Anything with residue gets packed into the dishwasher I’m about to run anyway.

But what if someone reassembles the pieces of your original brain, Ship-of-Theseus style?

I always wonder how many people wailing about the terribleness of government waste realize that a huge percentage of the work/employees they’re complaining about are from private sector companies under contract.

If you pay attention to her accent though, Rancher’s Daughter Dolores has a soft southern accent, Wyatt has a clipped American TV accent, and Current Dolores has something in between. She seems to slip between the accents based on context too, sounding more like her old sweet self when talking to her father, and more…

I once saw an autobiographical book signing by a woman who had escaped being a child bride in (I think) Afghanistan. One of the people enthusiastically getting a book signed had a little girl with her who looked about 8, who was wearing a T-shirt that said “Sexy1". I don’t understand how people’s brains can function…

I tracked my food intake on a work-sponsored wellness app for six weeks (down to the brand names of everything I ate), and my diet was ruled deficient in vitamins A and C, even though I do eat a fair number of fruits and vegetables. I’m also a Gen X slacker who subsists largely on processed food otherwise. So I take…
