I’ll tell you the same thing I told the other person on this thread who is recovering from addiction: way to make the choices that are best for you, even when it’s hard. That is truly awesome.

Seriously, congratulations on staying sober through this shit show. Way to make the choices that are best for you!

I’m so sorry for your loss. I’ve known enough people with contentious, even toxic, relationships with their in-laws to know how beautiful it is when you truly love them and they love you. I hope that soon you’ll be able to enjoy Christmas and your memories of him, but don’t push yourself; grief has its own…

Also, that hair is not a good look for him.

THAT IS SUCH A GOOD IDEA. I’m going to have to make one for myself.

Did you ever read The Wilder Life? It’s all about one woman’s journey thorough revisting the books and going to the “Little Houses” and stuff. I really enjoyed it! https://www.amazon.com/Wilder-Life-Adventures-Little-Prairie/dp/1594485682/ref=asap_bc?ie=UTF8

My parents told me and my brothers that once a long time ago, a kind man (St. Nicolas) gave presents to people in honor of Jesus’ birthday. Now we give presents to each other too, and it’s fun to pretend that Santa is real to remember that kind man. They also told me that some kids believe that Santa is real, and…

I don’t know. I tried looking on Google for a bit, but didn’t find anything.

Oh yeah, that’s an important distinction.

Oh, right. Forgot about Sandra Fluke—he really has to be that dense after all. It must be SO NICE to be born as an automatic authority on everything. “Who needs research or facts? I already have a penis!”

It was amazing. How can you get it and so fundamentally NOT GET IT at the same time? It has to be deliberate, right? Nobody can actually be that dense. It did make me laugh though, so I guess that’s something.

That’s a good point. I got tired of trying to explain that to people, though I did have a dismal little chuckle over Rush Limbaugh finally understanding that all we care about is consent.

Thanks! I was thinking, “I’m white too, but I’m pretty sure I know the answer to this one.”

To be outraged at the white supremacists, not at the people who are calling out the white supremacists.

Absolutely. The n-word has a lot more weight and prejudice behind it than pussy does, but it is the same kind of misplaced outrage. It is the ULTIMATE in hypocrisy to defend someone who speaks this way and then to be offended at the person who calls them out on it. Sometimes you have to quote someone IN FULL so…

Situations like this is why I have a junk email account!

It’s gotta be Jared!

I saw the one where he said Trump looked like a tranny, so I knew it had to be a troll. Went to his “discussions,” and sure enough, it was all body-shaming. I do think he has a point—posts like this can get ugly in the comments and it is hypocritical—but people are also reacting to the derogatory way Trump talks…

Only his victims were black, so that argument doesn’t really make sense here.

Could you dismiss Electronica Dance Ass, please? They’re making body-shaming comments all over this post trying to bait people into being as judgmental as they are. We don’t need that shit.
