There’s a verse in the Bible that is the only one that has ever spoken to me in any way. That is because it doesn’t offer anything other than a fundamental, self-evident truth of our existence:

I’ve dreamed of things that eventually happened. I’ve dreamed a lot more of things that never did.

Confirmation bias isn’t anything particularly profound.

Eh, I think Hanoumatoi has a point. I mean, it’s not that big a deal because we know you personally mean no offense, but erasing casual homophobia (like casual racism) should always be on our minds.

Now let’s just get back to calling this guy a dumbfuck asshole.

Okay, except for that.

Anything is better than “too-sahn.”

Oh, sure. But the kind of thinking is the same: superficial observations and a metric ton of bias of all kinds leading to an incredibly distorted worldview.

Plus a steadfast insistence that this worldview is just as valid as any other, so everyone else needs to stop trying to silence them.

You can get bilingual stickers when you people learn how to pronounce the “c” in your city’s very Spanish name.

My dad and I always vote together, and we proudly wear our stickers all day long. Rock the vote and rock that sticker, peeps.

Libertarians are never and will never be our allies, and never claimed to be. They’re not lying when they tell us that they think Trump is equally as terrible as any Democrat.

Are they stupid and deluded? Abso-fucking-lutely. But unlike Berniecrats (full disclosure: I voted for Sanders in the primary, but had no…

“Just in case you start to feel a little bit bad for her”

lolnope.

Count me as another vote for “arrest this abuser.” Come on, isn’t this assault? Were the victims able to press charges?

Two months’ suspension and three years’ probation seems absurd to me.

Well, they’re going out of their way to say it’s not a kink. They’re being infantalized by their husbands and they’re internalizing it.

Jesus Christ, someone please beat the living shit out of these men.

I don’t really see “chem trail enthusiasts” as being distinct from the “granola hipsters.” One might blame the gubmint while the other blames Monsanto, but it’s the same thing.

“Hi! Can you explain to me why the vitriol against people who chose not to vaccinate - since - in theory - they are the ones (like me) who are at most threat?”

It’s not just about you.

Conspiracy theories find common ground with everyone on the political spectrum. I’d say that the farther one goes along either extreme, though, the more common they become. The extreme authoritarians (Nazis, e.g.) want an all-powerful state, but they have no trust in any of the existing institutions. The extreme…

While acknowledging that he was a terrible person and that these phonies are terrible people for celebrating him, who exactly decides who among is irredeemable trash who deserves only to be thrown away?

This deserves to be the top comment.

This guy wasn’t a “beautiful person”. He was a disgusting person. You can acknowledge this reality while mourning the person he could never be. I can’t find it in me to celebrate a death, certainly not a murder. How the fuck could I possibly celebrate it and so elevate his killers,…

“I do not believe in potential” is a hell of a fucking thing to say.

Wouldn’t it be better to say that potential is not something to be rewarded or celebrated?

“And a preemptive “Fuck you” to any judgy millennials, who grew up with the internet.”

Wait, what? Have you never heard of Rule 34?

Show me the Millennials who haven’t jacked it to a cartoon character, and I’ll show you the next generation of Catholic monks.

“I can pretend that’s not true and not be able to ask him questions or I can continue to aks questions.”
