I suspect you’re getting confused by how incoherence and hate, as created by profound ignorance, greed, willful stupidity, and cruelty, can, on the surface, be just as incomprehensible as legitimate mental illness (like, say, the Time is a Cube author).

I keep hearing how admitting you have a problem is the first step. I have so many admitted problems, yet nobody’s gotten around to telling me what the second step* is!

What got me about this and a couple of the other comments was the typos. Like why is “black-dick” hyphenated? “Not the pace for...” No doubt he meant “place”.

I don’t know if I should shame you for riffing on a quote from Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Phantom of the Opera or shame myself for still having that libretto lodged in the back 40 of my brain.

That is beautiful.*

Thank you, internet stranger. I needed a laugh.

First part of an answer to your “serious question,” is examining the question itself. In particular, I refer to “...making Muslim women wear...” and then “...Catholicism making women wear...”

A million comic books beg to differ... though mostly they end up mocked by The Hawkeye Initiative.

That is amazing. Not for the stupid (well, yes, for the stupid, too), but for how much WORK these people seem to think others are putting in to “hiding the truth.” I’m sure they’ve got an equally crazypants explanation as to why anyone, never mind all photographers, pilots, astronomers, geologists, explorers,…

Yeah, this’ll work out just fine...

Ha ha ha. They vetted him just fine, thanks:

I’m having the same sort of problem I had when I saw Rogue One and the Empire’s crappy records management set up. I know they’re evil, but they’re so bad at the thing, I kind of want to fix it for them. In this case, the Visio chart. Sweet baby corn, what half-wit intern thought that was an acceptable Visio chart?!

I wasn’t thinking about the “in real time” aspect. Huh. Yeah, the eventual crash is going to be SPECTACULAR. (I haven’t seen this week’s ep, yet. ) And, apparently, it takes a village to watch this show.

I don’t own a car, but I’ve been rocking a “F*ck Trump” button from Etsy on my work bag since the election. It’s bright purple and the only thing on the gray bag. As a nod to “work appropriate,” I put a little black paw print sticker over the U.

If money is tight for you, I’d say don’t. Much like the island, the castle, and that @*&#&@*#! Picasso (sorry, I’m still a little twitchy about that last one) CAH has previously purchased and shared, this will be far less grand than it sounds. It’s symbolic, and the random stickers, cards, and sometimes socks are fun,…

You think they didn’t after CAH released their limited edition “Donald Trump Bug-Out Bag”? That ship has sailed.

Seriously. If the criminals in charge would just toss some funding to the arts, everybody would be better off.

We’ve seen Elliot literally sitting in a corner, sobbing and rocking himself this season and back in season 1. He took drugs to “cope,” and that was him trying to cope with his depression, before all the death and global economic disaster.

I need to shout, “THANK YOU for not making Edi, the older woman who was “the perfect candidate,” computer illiterate,” out to the universe.

I’ve never been fired, but I’ve been laid off a lot. Sometimes it’s, “Oh, hey, we’re really sorry. Make sure you turn in your badge before you go,” with the implication that you have as long as you like to hand off work and gather your things. Sometimes, security is right there to escort you out the door with a…
