YES!

Yes, exactly. I can’t tell if I’m projecting my own annoyance or if the article was sort of snarky. It’s easy to thumb your nose at people and say they are foolish for “lifestyle aspirations”. It’s another thing altogether to actually try to work a full time job, raise children, play for future, and maintain a home.…

Look.... A lot of this is about perception and aspiration. OK, fine. Those are all valid points. But also, look at the meat and potatoes of the situation.

Women only exist in two capacities. A) Mom B) Women I Want To Fuck.

But maybe he'd just go back to before Ma Hitler got pregnant and try to convince her to become a celibate nun. Then, if she refused, he could always kill HER before she activates her incubation organs?

Your question is interesting for a few reasons. Someone who can answer that they'd call the police right away in the second scenario has either never truly faced the terror of really and honestly expecting to lose their personal freedom forever and therefore can answer quickly because they can't comprehend how…

I’ve always wanted to just show them a map of the world with all the political boundaries in place but with none of the names on them. Then I’d ask them gotcha questions. And I don’t mean hard stuff like “where is Vanuata?” because no one can know the location of every country on the planet. But I mean, basic things-…

That's tricky. In the first scenario, I'd call 911. In the second scenario, it's hard to imagine because I'm really hardcore about NEVER drinking and driving. It's something that I absolutely never do... as an adult. So to answer your question honestly, I have to reach waaaayyyy back in my memories to when I was a…

Yes. The real question though is if he'd support Ma Hitler's decision to abort Fetus Hitler. Or if he'd insist that she deliver the baby first before he kills it.

No, I bet Jeb Bush has never even heard of this scenario before right this moment.

Reading before you respond is a good thing. You have said nothing new.

But that has nothing to do with the loftiness of the profession. The world of professions that give you access to victims is MUCH larger than those considered lofty. Cafeteria worker in a school. CNA in an old folk's home. Daycare worker. Etc.

No. I call you out on perception bias. There are assholes in every profession. It just doesn’t make headlines when an accountant or a welder is a rapist. But a pastor, an ethics professor, etc- it makes headlines because of the irony. And also I think humans enjoy seeing people fall who had once claimed a moral high…

In this case, it sounds exactly like she is a rapist, though maybe she’s insane and actually believes her story (the way some folks believe ghosts guide the Ouija board). Otherwise, surely he’d type around other people too?

Yes, but did you read the whole article? He will not type with anyone except her, which sure as hell sounds fishy, don't you think?

I understand this. It’s because of many reasons. First, if you are marrying into a family, your future life (and children if that’s going to happen) will be much nicer if your in-laws are sane and have a good relationship with your future partner. Second, usually people from crazy families carry baggage, and long-term…

Two things can be possible at the same time. It's wrong to kill your kid. Duh. It's also beyond the mental/emotional/physical abilities of most humans to take care of a special needs child for years on end without a huge amount of assistance. Both of these things are true, and if you don't appreciate the later, you'll…

I don’t understand what you don’t understand. When you read a news story about a simple case of indignation, in which someone acts in a totally simplistic and insane way, there are two possibilities: 1. The person is crazy and did something crazy. 2. There is more to the story that was not reported.

Yes. IN fact, I liked Weezer in high school and then didn't think about them again for years. For years thereafter, I forgot Weezer was a thing and heard Wilco sometimes, but since I wasn't thinking about it consciously, I wasn't aware that I'd gotten them mixed up, and then one day I realized that for years I'd been…

Me too!
