Disposable plastic spoons are absolutely not reasonable at that cost.

I hope you don’t work in fine dining.

Sorry, off topic, but there was a comment somewhere here saying that you were going through some difficult stuff right now (no details given and it was said in relation to some crap going on with some troll or another?). I wanted to wish you the best and let you know I look forward to reading your posts here even when…

Oh, shut the fuck up.

The Republicans have never truly cared about the soldiers. The Neocons like the military for what they can do, they could give a shit about the vets (or their families) because they are no longer useful. Sure they will give lip service, because that’s free - but helping out a vet costs money that could be spent buying…

Parts of our government are beyond broken.

Exactly. This is using public resources for a political purpose. Of course, it’s an ethics rule and those no longer matter.

Does the entire world have amnesia? Do we all not remember what Vice was in the early days? Even for the nineties, the level of misogyny, homophobia, & just vile, puerile shittiness towards anyone not like them was insane. But, of course, always cloaked in a hip, ironic, wink wink, we don’t really mean it vibe.

Is that even legal???

Um, considering he cheated on his previous wife with HER, she has to be pretty effing stupid to not consider that it would happen again.

Everybody knows that the dice are loaded
Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed
Everybody knows the war is over
Everybody knows the good guys lost
Everybody knows the fight was fixed
The poor stay poor, the rich get rich
That’s how it goes
Everybody knows

Trying to earn her way back into the BBQ!

lol “like he intended.”

I’d argue that most folks have a simplistic view of politics.

That abortion story is really upsetting. The “pro-life” people should be called out for what they believe, government enforced childbirth. They believe if a woman gets pregnant, even via rape or incest, or even if her own life is at risk from the pregnancy, she should be forced to carry the fetus through to…

I swear (I have no proof) that airing shows like this and Duck Dynasty are part and parcel of why we have Donnie Two Scoops today.

FINALLY someone decided to point this out. I have low standards for tabloids, but to see sites like People breathlessly covering this woman’s makeover/redemption (and thus putting money in her pocket) without bothering to mention why she even needs to be redeemed is so completely sickening. No amount of makeup or…

I know.

Agreed - or at least, can’t be forgiven certainly without amends and total transformation and acknowledgment on the part of harmer, which is rare. I think a lot of folks use “forgive” to mean “let go of, put to bed” now, which can be confusing. Both can be healthy in different ways depending on needs and wants of the…

On a lighter note, someone else making Twitter a bearable place: (h/t The Root)

i think that’s true, but there also needs to be a way for people who are wronged to stop letting the bad person affect them. For some people that’s forgiveness, for others it’s shunning or whatever. Maybe calling it letting go makes it easier?
