unfortunately, bigotry and absurdity isn’t solely the domain of the religious.

SAME.

As a reminder of how hard it is to “take down the bad guy” there was a shooting in NY by the Empire state building a few years back and a bunch of people who were shot were actually hit by police (who are trained in firearms) firing at the gunman.

I disagree.

The resistance crowd started the normalization of political violence? Uh fuck you and where were you during a year and a half of Trump’s rallies, where people were getting brutalized and he promised to pay their legal fees for their thuggery? Do you really expect the left not to respond to the violence that Nazis…

do you like cheese?

I loved everything about this movie. Girl going against the grain? Striking down the patriarchy? Rebelling against social norms?

Wasn’t the whole point of the Lord of the Flies that when the adults wage war the kids will too? I think what we seeing is that if adults act like assholes, kids will too.

Tangent but opportunity to vent: In 2001 I was on a first date — a confident, successful, and very heavy woman with a smart, attractive man at my side — when the trailer for Shallow Hal appeared on the screen. A couple minutes of people almost gagging at the idea of a (heavy, sloppy) guy falling for a fat girl,…

As I have written before, my daughter died when she was five in 2011, two months after being diagnosed with an inoperable and malignant brain tumor. There is no cure for her type of tumor - DIPG - and current treatments do little more than extend life for a few months.

I think it might be an Ohio-ism. I heard both flicked and flipped growing up pretty interchangeably (for the record, I say flipped). But outside of Ohio I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone say “flicked.”

Yes, I think we can acknowledge this without ceding ground to their bullshi or weakening our position. I think Cooper was probably rolling his eyes because she was talking about the Glorious Leader’s victory yet again.

Yeah I have friends that think they’re relationship is so sweet and I’m like, are we watching the same show? She has to chuckle indulgently every time a 40 year old man acts like an 8 year old, including eating a dead cockroach on a ‘double dare’ on live TV. Nothing about their marriage is sweet to me, except maybe…

I have no problem admitting that the book is flawed, but I didn’t find any part of it titillating, and I’m a little disturbed to learn that there are people who do.

This!!!!! It wasn’t about money; it was about the environment. Plus alcohol was being served, and it was easier to ban people under 21 to make life easier for the venue that had already bent over backwards for us!!!!

YES. My sister is going through this right now! I’m handling her RSVPs and I’ve had to politely tell about 4 people “Oh, I’m sorry but it’s going to be 21+ only. are you and (spouse) still going to be able to make it?” because reading invitations is so damn hard.

Fucking Jamie. I’m no fan of Sam Thompson but Jamie has made a sport of fucking up Sam’s life at any given opportunity.

You got the wrong side of the family. Two words: Spencer Matthews.

i like maroon 5 still and im not ashamed!

I’m sure your music taste is beyond reproach. I’m sure the music you like is deep and says a lot about the kind of person you are. I’m sure people fall over themselves to compliment you on your playlists. Jog on.
