I’ve been working for a couple years to remove this word (as an epithet) from my vocabulary. It’s almost gone, but it still pops out occasionally - it’s one of those words I used regularly for a long time without ever really thinking about who I was hurting by doing so. Once I became more aware of the stigma that…

As someone who teaches kids with disabilities, this is a word that will always make me cringe, but I have given up on being surprised by people who use it, especially out of my own sphere of influence. She’s knows she shouldn’t use it. It’s obvious by how she corrects herself. But to be honest, I used to use it too…

She said “fucking retar-”, I believe.

I had an interesting thought yesterday and this article reminded me of it.

I’ve said it before, but in light of another unimpressive year for Microsoft in terms of exclusives I feel the need to say it again. My decision to stick with Xbox again this generation is the biggest gaming purchase regret so far in my life. Haven’t turned the damn thing on in like a year. Well, on purpose anyways,…

Go ahead and mock imaginary investments all you want. Last December I invested 10 grand in thoughts and prayers when they were trading for $3.78 a share. Soon after the Vegas and Texas shootings demand hit a premium and I sold at $22,000 a share and cleared a cool $58 million.

The fire retardant is potentially harmful, but the fire is actually harmful. That is like saying your parachute could potentially fail while you are already out of the plane. Sure, maybe you will reevaluate your life choices next time, but right now you have more important issues to worry about.

Blanketing California in fire is also very dangerous.

Sure, but blanketing California in raging infernos is absolutely very harmful. If my house had a wall of fire behind it, I’d want firefighters to be considering all options to save it.

These chemicals do not have a benign effect on the environment.

Yes. Finally.

Little boy: Hey, mister! How’d you get to be a millionaire?

Oh, joke’s on you, imaginary friend. See, poor white Americans are just one lucky break away from being millionaires, so none of this will be their problem soon. All it’s gonna take is that one idea they had that they never lifted a finger to bring to fruition, or that one lottery ticket they just bought will finally…

Dear white voters in rural America,

No, you don’t get it. Religion > Football was my point. I don’t know if that is what the chain is, but I do know some people are like that. So, if that is the case, it does not “pay” to be the “bigger man.” If that is the case, his actions are totally understandable.

Maybe the chain (which he had taped on) means something significant to him. Try to think of something that is important to you, and then imagine that someone grabbed it. Maybe you can’t, because, like me, a chain would never mean anything to you, so consider something else totally disrespectful but ultimately…

Absolutely. Just a sore loser

The Geneva convention might outlaw them, but the Second Amendment guarantees my God given right to have a flamethrower for personal protection.
