I thought Abraham Lincoln said that. Or did he only say the one about how we shouldn’t believe everything we read on the internet? I get them confused.

I’m Jewish, I accept him as also being Jewish, I think his jokes were anti-Semitic. He may not personally be an anti-Semite (though there are Jews who are, just as there are people of color who are racist), but his “jokes” were in extremely bad taste, and were frankly, offensive.
THANK YOU!!
The first one may or may not have been subtle sexism: I was a soda jerk at a diner in high school and my boss used to ask me to come in really early once every two weeks or so to clean out the freezer behind the soda counter. This involved moving all the ice cream tubs to the back freezer in the kitchen and then…
Yup. It's available on DVD only now. I even tried finding it on the British Netflix by changing my IP address, and no dice. They removed it from Netflix GB as well. Fuckin hell, indeed.
Coupling. They took off Coupling. After I decided that I no longer need the DVDs because, "Netflix has it! Why do I need to take up this space?" *head/desk/repeat, shakes fist in air* DAMN YOU, NETFLIX!
This. I began smoking pot as a way to manage PTSD and at some point realized that while I was high, the PTSD symptoms went away. When I was coming down though? OMFG, the panic attacks! So I'd smoke more weed, and did my best never to be fully sober. It took me years to make that connection, and when I did I went…
In fairness, I don't find the chick who plays Piper to be a particularly good or charismatic actress. They're perfect for each other!
Right? That was my gut-response. It's a 100% fictitious country! How does sitting on a prop for a show that takes place in a make believe land undermine her position as royal figurehead?
Whenever I get into a relationship with someone who has a "best friend who's a woman" I go out of my way not only to spend time with her and my present partner to see how they interact, but also with her alone to get to know her and see if she and I can develop some sort of friendship. There was one relationship in…
Maybe she only said yes to save the embarrassment of his inevitable tantrum had she said no in front of a whole bunch of people? Here's hoping once they were in private she told him, "I only said yes so you wouldn't be totally humiliated. Really, my answer is no. You're creepy. Leave. Now. Forever."
One Chipolte burrito lasts me at least two, often times 3 meals. Worth it.
A "trigger warning" is a disclaimer at the start of an article saying something along the lines of, "This article contains potentially triggering content on the following subject(s)..." It is to let people who may be in fresh trauma and easily triggered know that this may not be the article for them. It has pros and…
LOL My partner has been wanting me to peg him for a while now- he actually randomly showed up last weekend with a brand-spankin'-new strap-on for me to wear. I responded by stammering and turning bright red and yeah. After seeing this, I think I need to just put that thing on and plow him like a queen the next time…
That is mildly terrifying.
Rachel Maddow. Rachel Maddow would own him and would be smiling sweetly the entire time.
Had she said the above statement without the extreme "I want to make this not hurt in any way" lean-in and without the pandering to his ego I'd say she told him off. As it is, he barely blinked at what she said. Had she stated her comment with an upright posture, fewer pauses, and less pandering to his ego, I'd say…
I would be inclined to take that with a grain of salt. I'm going to give the widow the benefit of the doubt that in her grief, she worded her request for copies of photos badly, and honestly, if my first-love ex died, I would be devastated. If I made that devastation public and all about me, I would expect his widow…
You are so welcome!
For future reference re: stripped screws, this lifehack of using a rubber band to get a good grip on a stripped screw really does work. :-)
