Society allows white men to make mistakes. Women and POC not so much. It was never about her emails. Just like how people aren’t really mad at the kneeling for the national anthem. They’re mad that black men are being uppity.
If the gun had its rights violated, the NRA will spare no expense in making sure justice is served.
Which is weird because there’s heavy trans subtext to the Matrix what with both of the directors later coming out as transgender and the book Fight Club was based on was written by a gay man who was mocking toxic masculinity. Something I bet the “fans” you’re describing would blow a gasket over.
See also: South Park, The Matrix, Fight Club, and more examples too numerous to mention.
I think you’ve really hit the nail on the head there. I’d also probably toss in atheism as well. Not as in atheism itself, but more like those who get into Richard Dawkins rather than Ayn Rand. I’ve know a few people who fit your description who fell full tilt into that particular flavor of feeling superior and…
I think there is a certain personality type of fairly intelligent and perceptive person who goes through a phase in their life lasting maybe a decade, from about age 15 to age 25 or so, in which they realize that many people and many institutions of society are hypocritical and corrupt. But instead of continuing a…
Wait, I’m not supposed to like Rorschach? Fuck, thanks for the heads up.
Same. Anything with a plastic/silicone built-in straw is water-only. I’ve passed the time of washing breast milk out of pump parts and baby bottles, and it was gross. I put the thermos and the removable straw in the dishwasher, and wash the top by hand, but no milk, ever (and once again thank you whatever higher power…
I’m pretty sure I never drank water as a kid outside of occasionally running inside to chug a glass while playing with friends or do a version of that at a water fountain next to basketball practice. Kids don’t need to constantly hydrate. Even in high school I’d have a morning banana (not a euphemism) and nothing else…
We know. We just chose to not mention it to you.
Tricky thing, walking when you’re on the verge of shitting your pants. Gotta move fast, but can’t allow too much separation of the cheeks. Keep’em firm and get a nice shuffle going.
Even worse is when your child leaves the Camelbak bottle like the one in the illustration with juice or milk in it, because wifey-poo can’t handle the fact that 3-y/o is not getting exactly what he is demanding (hey, guess why he is demanding it?! You caved, he wins, he forces the issue from then on) and he leaves it…
Ah hahahaha. That’s what teachers get for being hall-pass Nazis.
Man, private Christian K-8 school attendee right here. It was modern enough to where it wasn’t actively staffed by nuns (except for the French teacher), but the policy was exactly the same. My only water in the school day would have been during the short trips to the playground or cafeteria, delivered via dodgy old…
I stand with the “Fuck kids getting Hydro Flask bottles at $40 a pop that they then lose somewhere” take (and am guilty of it even as an adult). But the standard plastic Gatorade bottle or ONE good jug for practice is mandatory in my household.
Back in my day, when I needed a sip of water, I had to get permission from a nun to walk down the hall to the water fountain and be back in less than a minute. And we were never allowed to drink too much water because then we’d have to go to the bathroom. And guess what, she was right because hooo boy did I ever…
I would estimate conservatively that 25% of my usable kitchen cabinet space is occupied by kids’ water bottles. Of those water bottles, maybe 15 - 20% are actively being used. It makes me bonkers. The other day, I pulled out a sliding shelf to get at some tupperware and about 8 water bottles fell back behind the…
