I totally understand—and respect—the argument that spoilers for a relatively new film/game/book need to be gated off into self-selecting communities and forums in order to prevent new folk from getting info that might somehow mar their experience. I’m not certain what a “reasonable length of time” might be, but I’d…

Ugh, so sorry for both of you. I know all relationships are different, but for her to acknowledge that they were friends first and should be able to return to that struck me as a very kind, selfless, and mature way to go about it. I have an aunt and uncle who divorced fairly well (after a hard year, sure) and even as…

So there was a contest held by Coleco in 1983 when I was baaaaarely a year old and my mother, a deeply competitive and shallow person, decided that I was going to have a cabbage patch doll. She entered me in the contest, then started conniving for ways to get a doll by other means as well.

People who had unhappy childhoods and who saw “Full House” as a window onto a world where parents were genuinely supportive and loving, no matter what they or their children were going through, and who needed to know that it was possible to make mistakes and still be deserving of happiness.

People whose Mama’s don’t cook with salt and pepper.

Fight the ignorance.

Those smarmy Midwest Rethuglican Congressman with their “Well he just says what everybody’s thinking” — well, it’s not our fault the only people you know are a bunch of backward reactionary bigot bastards, you corrupt redneck bottom-feeder.

And they all think everyone is as racist as they are. They’ll be like he’s just saying what we were all thinking! Uh, no. No he’s not.

Almost no racists think they are racist. There’s always someone worse they can point to and say, “See? That’s a racist. I’m not a racist, I shook hands with a black person three years ago and didn’t flinch or anything!”

I think anytime someone says, “I am not a racist” . . . they are probably a racist.

“I am the least racist person you have ever interviewed.”

I am a 46 year old man and now you’ve made me blush. I’m scarred for life. I’ll stick with the time both me and my sister each independently got her a Salad Shooter. (Remember them?) By chance my mom opened mine first, so by the time she got to the next one my sister ran out of the room crying. She didn’t talk to me…

As a mom with two boys: pleeeease bring it up!! She never, ever will to protect you, but you definitely should find a Mother’s Day card for her, maybe Etsy, best with a massager on it, and just write it out like you’ve done here.

When I was around 13 or so I was dropped off at the mall to get Christmas presents for the family. No 13 year old boy is good at such things. I was struggling. But there was this kiosk, maybe Sharper Image or something like that with all kinds of cool things for gifts. I saw this mini back massager, maybe $15 bucks or…

I feel like a good rule of thumb is thumb is that if it has white fur pillow and someone dressed as a bunny, it’s a sex party.

This is exactly the same problem as the Gros Michel bananna. Exactly the same. And shade growing and agroforestry can help - but they cannot stop the problem. The problem is here, now, and when it spreads - and it will - the sins of monoculture past will come to call, whether or not we have learned to farm more…

No participation trophies for losers.

😌 I was on the verge of ‘correcting’ you.

Or a real article about 2014 Juggalos?

Weird, the guy with face tattoos makes ridiculously bad decisions.
