I would gently encourage you to read the literature - there’s lots of it, much of it widely available - about the importance of stories for children, the lifelong effect they can have, and why millennials in particular have clung to their childhood stories in a way that makes a great deal of psychological sense.

I guess I have the cultural sophistication of a little baby then, because I think they are fun reads 

Another classic example of “Since I made an assload of money doing one thing, anything I say or do should be considered right.”

Ah, so the “A” now stands for “Appropriation." Got it.

She has also stated fervently that Hogwart’s Express will never, EVER ride the transcontinental railroad.

She hasn’t done that research in good faith. She’s convinced that trans identity erases womanhood and is actively dangerous to her. She will see what she wants to see in any readings that she does. She’s not a scientist or a doctor, she’s just a bigot.

And if a predator is going to attack you in the bathroom, first they’re going to get a legal certificate that says they can be in that bathroom because they would never just...break the law.

Wow get the fuck outta here.  She used the bathroom argument?  I expect Lindsay Graham to do that, Jesus Christ she is a lost cause.

Recycling this from another discussion, but I think it applies here.

Such a bafflingly misplaced attack, this article. For one thing, “You Need to Calm Down” is an explicitly leftist song about LGBTQ rights. You seem to have missed the fact that the song has that title precisely because that’s how it’s used against people simply fighting for inclusion. You’re not cleverly or ironically …

long time lurker.

How does one.....turn someone gay? It seems like you haven't thought this all the way thru. Have a seat.  

You’re an idiot. Conveniently you ignore all the women who were in power or major affectors of the power struggle. Cersei was the most powerful person in Westeros from the moment her father died. Dany was all female power. Arya slew the Night King. What more could you possibly want?

Why would Dany fly her dragons ahead of her ships and not high in the air? They knew that Cersei has a naval presence and ballistae that could potentially kill her dragons. Also, how did Dany not see them considering her vantage point?

As we all know, 19 is far too late to start over, especially if you’re rich and beautiful.

I’m a clinical social worker (just like Karamo!) and this article is basically every parent calling me to complain that I’m not being hard enough on their kid and change isn’t happening fast enough. Effective change comes from communicating connection and acceptance, while also leading the client to their own…

What’s tough is realizing he can be an amazing performer and still be a pedophile. He can be nice to some children and not harm them and still be a pedophile. He can like women, even marry them and still be a pedophile. He can be a terrific son/brother/father and still be a pedophile. We’d like to find some excuse so…

For me, after watching the documentary, it wasn’t so much about whether to listen to MJ’s music, or how much, or from what period. It was about how we who were adults when MJ appeared on the scene looked the other way. For God’s sakes, the boys’ parents have so much to answer to. But just regular people out here, this…

Don’t like it? Don’t read it.

I sang “Man in the Mirror” in front of the entire school in 4th grade. It was the first time I ever stood in front of a large group of people, performed, and enjoyed the thrill of an audience cheering for me.

It’s so strange now, because I’ve always loved singing that song. I can nail it, and I’ve generally sang it at…
