Yeah, and it’s kind of whack, because libertarian vs. authoritarian is just one test of your political leanings. For example at isidewith.com I tested as a Liberal Authoritarian, meaning (I think) that I believe the government should force people to be good. I agree that HRC isn’t as liberal as Bernie, but that…

My first thought when I saw the “Topher Grace” Captcha Unscramble was, “I bet he got that because he’s always looking at his own page.” What a sad, sad life he must lead.

I think jail is a notoriously horrible place in general, coupled with the fact that sex offenders and cops are usually treated pretty terribly on the inside, they think they’re doing him a solid by making it harder to figure out that he was a cop who raped women. Gee, it’s nice to see state time, energy and money…

Oh. Well, huh. OK. I’m coming to terms with it.

WHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTTT?!?!!?!

I read it as she sends the offender, hence forth referred to as dick pic sender, a screenshot of his own profile where he lists the names and contact info of his wife/SO/sister/mother. It’s like a way to say, “hey dick pic sender, you’ve got people in your life that would be really disappointed in this behavior.”

I see your point for sure. But playing Beelzebub’s Advocate here: there were only what (I’m getting this from the video?) 10 pro-choice/anti-Daleiden protesters at a rally of ten thousand anti-choicers. And yet this morning, the first article I saw was about the few, not the many.

I think breaking the law may be a strategy. They’re not harming anyone, but they get national attention. Even if it’s not intentional, I say good on ‘em.

I don’t know why more women don’t talk about the drying effect of tampons. That’s what makes sex unbearable while you’re on your period (imo)! Love that the cup doesn’t create that issue.

Just coming here to kvetch. I worked a job for 6 months at which EVERYONE mispronounced my name (as an aside my name has multiple pronunciations but I pronounce it the most common way). I corrected EVERYONE multiple times. Finally, I was having a performance review and corrected my boss (again) on the pronunciation of…

I’m just here to shout out Throwing Shade. If you’re not listening to it, you’re missing out. Erin Gibson and Bryan Safi are comedians talking about feminist/gay ‘ssues. It’s definitely a comedy podcast first, not necessarily a “news” podcast (they delight in getting facts semi-wrong), but that’s why I like it.

No. No, no, no. No! NOOOOOOOO!

Yikes. I had no clue. Sorry if I sounded cold or glib. I’m just in a weird headspace because half of my facebook newsfeed is full of people saying Pres. Obama faked crying in his press conference yesterday. I mean, how could a man be emotionally moved when thinking about murdered 6 year olds?

No. People don’t shoot up preschools in the UK. They’ve had gun laws for awhile.

I love doing the NYT crossword, but yeah many of their clues are straight-up racist. Sadly, was not surprised by this.

Thanks, I do have a really beautiful memory of my father coming to me and saying, “they’re not readers, they don’t get it, kid.”

My brother and I read the whole series out loud together. When Deathly Hallows came out, he was on a month long camping trip. So, I waited to read it. Meanwhile, friends/co-workers are teasing me about my 21 year old love of Harry Potter, my willingness to wait to read it out loud with my 15 year old brother, and for…

Isn’t his fucking son-in-law Jewish?! How can he live with this man in his family?

I also wanted braces as a kid and never got them, so I feel your pain.

I grew up with people trying to make me “feel better” about my freckles. I very clearly remember thinking wtf? I like ‘em. Now that I’m an adult, apparently everyone likes freckles!
