I really do think we have a bigger propaganda campaign than even Hitler’s Germany, at the hands of 24/7 Fox news.

Unfortunately it doesn’t work - prior to the election last year, I argued with an old high school friend-turned-distant-acquaintance, who was Republican and getting ready to vote for Drumpf. I know other Republicans who voted for literally anyone else other than Drumpt, but most of them voted for Hillary. These people…
And we can hold George Bush sr. responsible for Osama Bin Laden, because of his handling of Iraq in the early 90's. The CIA call this “blowback”. I.e. essentially every military action will eventually result in retaliation by someone, at some point. And Osama and 9/11 were a retaliation against George Bush Sr. and…
This is the most heinous thing I’ve seen kids do, ever. And I was heavily bullied in middle school and saw some truly scary and insane things (including getting my head thumbed so hard I saw stars while riding the bus home from school. Boys constantly trying to grab my body and so on.) Among other horrible things.…
In the third step, I do not think the victims should be forced to face their abusers in a room full of people, where pressure is high and vulnerability is even higher. Only the perpetrators and their parents need to be at this meeting. Also, someone suggested it above, but it seems like a good idea to have an…
I think I just fell a little bit in love with you based on this comment alone. I love pointing out logical fallacies to idiots, and you did so very well here, better than I’ve ever managed to do, even when directly sharing infographs on the subject! Excellent. Extra stars, applause, and all the golden apples in the…
Amen to this: “This is one of those cases where I’d like to see child services investigate the homes of the perpetrators”. Yes, yes, and more yes. Fantastic idea. This should be an AUTOMATIC home visit and investigation. Like, anything remotely like this, including, but not limited to, racial slurs and misogyny and…
I’m not religious, but since so many Drumpf supporters falsely claim to be Christian, I like to share this with them and hit ‘em where it hurts, using their own religious text against them (I’m not a bible reader, so someone else had to share this with me first):
This sounds like a terrifying nightmare. Noooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!
Counter point: I genuinely really enjoyed Passengers. I’m a sci fi junkie anyway (and I watch shows like The Expanse etc..) And I’m so bummed that I let terrible critics talk me out of seeing it in the theater. It may not have crossover appeal to general audiences, but my sci fi loving friends (and husband) all loved…
Let me compare that to a similar story: I had a horribly abusive boss for a long time. Like, years. Eventually, I trained in a new employee. That new employee sat in a cube semi-near my boss (because my boss sat near hers). So she often ran into him (but only for mere seconds at a time). She once told me, “Oh, your…
Man you sure know how to start a story! lol The best. Yes, it does help (a little bit.) Side note: I think this movie will be great (to me) because I think Adam McKay did a great job on The Big Short.
Oh absolutely. I once dated a guy in college who told me that when he was a tiny kid, his parents had swinger parties in the basement while he was upstairs. It really messed with him in numerous ways.
Just want to give you extra stars for how on point this comment is. Amazing. This should be quoted forever, “We smile at predators to protect ourselves and they tell the world we’re having a good time.” Yes, this has happened to me (and many) zillions of times. I had a horribly abusive boss (who did not sexually…
OMG thank you!! I literally came down through the comments to mention Aaliyah, and saw that YOU mentioned her first. Hot damn yes, she used the baby voice sound amazingly and wayyyyy before Oblivion. I loooooove her and this song. People don’t know what they’re talking about when they complain about baby noise being…
Exactly. And I mean, how did this father even bring this topic up while on the phone with the (horrible) president? Like it’s pretty weird that he managed to get that into the conversation.
The biggest thing about people like her is that they hate a system that they don’t seem to know anything about. They’re very sure undeserving lazy people are getting all this money and just hanging out eating dove bars all day. The biggest critics of the welfare system don’t even know how it works. It’s exhausting.
You are not alone. I feel this way too. But I will give her that she was talented and capable of actual comedy when she was younger and wasn’t outright trashing people (shock comedy). Her earlier work, and her visits to the Tonight Show sets were filled with self-deprecating humor. No one was the victim except…
No, because they don’t care about the soldiers who come home. They vote constantly to obstruct vet benefits and zillions of vet programs. They don’t care about soldiers, they care about the military.
Yes, and also, I had to comment because I love your user name.
