And those empty platitudes serve one purpose: to make people who spew that shit feel better about themselves and more secure that no bad shit will happen to them.

Bless him for telling the truth. The euphemisms around death are are not helpful. They’re insipid.

I don’t think that recommending someone adopt a new dog to help them cope with their loss is the same thing as proselytizing for shelters. Saying, “Oh, the reason your dog died is because you got it from a puppy mill,” that would be a dick move, but just saying, “You know what you need? A new dog that needs a home!”…

Really? Wow he is rapidly decaying.

She literally had to debate my elementary school bully. Except on a national stage. And had to take him seriously.

funny, no one else is having that response. mostly it’s wow she’s killing it, and he’s a blabbering clown who can’t string a sentence together.

Yeah I feel like there’s traitors allll over that campaign and I love it.

You wrote and posted an entire article explaining how to get an empty seat next to you by picking a seat with an empty seat next to it? That’s akin to writing an article titled “Here’s a trick to better enjoy your morning cereal” with the content equating to an explanation that you should pour the cereal into the…

For fun, when someone on Facebook references “prayers,” replace it with “farts.”

“Going in for surgery tomorrow, fart for me!”
“OMG heart emoji farting now!”
“Sending farts your way!”
“Offering up farts!”
