In a way, even more frightening. To grow up in Western Europe, having more or less the highest standard of living in the world, social and political freedom, free health and education... and still choose to murder scores of your own countrymen/women because you feel more connected to an extreme reading of medieval…

Interesting. I dislike early Xander’s jealousy of Buffy and inability to take no for an answer, but he generally grows on me as the series progresses.

Well, when a large part of your “look” comes from plastic surgery, it’s not that unusual for you to have a doppelganger running around...

Nooooo don’t put random household substances on your fancy metals! Buy a bottle of Brasso (liquid, use your own sponge/rag/etc) or a tin of “wadding” polish (it’s a can of dense wooly fluff soaked with cleaner — pull off a small tuft and use until it turns black, then grab another one). Both work well on unlacquered…

Pin this on the Republicans all you want, Dems played on this fear of black criminality as well. Private prisons skyrocketed beginning in Clinton’s era. Federal sentencing got tougher and continued to be discriminatory as well.

I have two major takeaways from this:

See, I could get behind LaLa...but it REALLY icks me out that she gives James the time of day. He is so VILE—he’s like that foreign, old, moldering band aid you step on in the gym showers.

Contour or Strobe. Not both.

I think I get why his girlfriend is a teenager.

I’m going to say “No work”*. Yay.

Seriously: forgiveness is often peddled as a magic virtue, as if the ability to forgive somehow wipes the slate clean. No. It’s lovely when one is able to forgive someone. But to forgive someone who has never shown remorse, who continues to dump toxicity all around them, who blindly refuses to see their…

I would also like to extend an Internet hug to you, for I am in the same boat. The number one thing people say to me - and I just want to smack the shit out of them for it - is, “oh, but just think...one day he won’t be around and it’ll be too late to make amends.”

I saw that and people have no idea why the other five kids didn’t go to dinner with their grandfather. I mean I don’t believe each one had an emergency where they could not make it, but what if the one you were sending death threats to did?

Do people really need to receive death threats when they post or do foolish things? For example, a girl posted a picture of her grandfather and said she was the only one who came to eat with him. His other five grandkids skipped for whatever reason. The one they could find on Twitter started getting death threats. Not…
