A couple of years ago I began taking Metamucil sugar free powder twice a day. Yes I feel like an old man stocking the giant cannisters of it in my house, but it works wonderfully, and as far as I know has no negative health effects. Not only does it help keep things moving, cleanup is generally easier too. 

Definitely dropping some nuggets here.

Its number 2 on my list.  

Bigotry and racism are not situations where one should ever play devil’s advocate. There are no valid points that can make bigotry or racism valid/acceptable, so there is no need for a devil’s advocate in these discussions.

Pretty much. If you decide to intentionally use the word in a joke to be “edgy” you’re probably a misguided asshole. If it slips out in a heat of anger, you *definitely* use it all the time. And you would have to be a colossal moron to not understand the impact and meaning of a word you use all the time. I don’t know…

“To be fair, I had no idea what it meant for 20+ years.”

Why do you need to be fair? And why in the world would you think your ignorance let’s somebody else off? It it about you?

As you said, you were lucky you said it in a safe space and not some place you got your nose broken. (I’m not the tough guy, but my dad could…

I don’t like how all these apology statements talk about how the person may have “hurt” other people and other communities. When minorities are angry, we are not angry because we are victims, like we are weak people to are slighted by the smallest breeze. We are angry because you disrespected us. You signaled that you…

“who last year was also the only player to remain on his feet before a game while his teammates knelt to support the Black Lives Matter movement”

It wouldn’t have survived, and I don’t think fish pulled up from that depth ever do if released. These morons are pulling this fish up from a deep trench. Water that deep is gas-saturated, and so are all the creatures living in it. When these guys pull this fish as hard as they can up to the surface, all that gas…

They didn’t, but it might not have survived anyway. They suffer from high catch/release mortality at that size, due to the pressure change being hauled up to the surface from their 55-525m deep range. Oh, and a big specimen like that? Probably took at least 20 years to get to that size (age can be up to 60 years).…

The survival rate for released fish is low.

The post says they hauled off their boat with a tractor, so I’m going to say that’s a big fat no. I’m sure they’ll take turns shooting the carcass up with their AR-15's.

I hope they released it. 

Elephant seals are a lot more attractive.

I’m glad to hear lung cancer has won its battle with Rush Limbaugh.

Folks on Twitter putting it better than I could.

In times like these I am always reminded of the famous Bette Davis quote on the passing of Joan Crawford:
