It really IS significant enough to question/consider. For instance, the chance of your child having Down’s syndrome:

Let’s be careful with that whole “the drunk you is the real you” thing. While I will fully admit if a person tends to be the same way every time they get drunk, it’s probably a pretty good indicator. I don’t think that you can judge a person as their “true self” because of how they acted once while getting drunk at an…

“Making them feel welcome, no matter how they speak or dress or look, is part of hospitality.” That has literally never been a part of hospitality. No shirt, no shoes, no goddamn service.

I mean if they turned out fine, whatever. But it’s even worse that you punished them with spanking *after the fact* and made it a whole ceremonious thing. The punishment is supposed to be related to the crime. Running out into the street and getting spanked (plus bonus eye contact) minutes or hours later doesn’t tie…

Here’s my (obviously highly anticipated) opinion on this: just because language evolves, it doesn’t mean we have to embrace every dumb usage that comes along, just because it’s popular. As humans with choices, we can influence the way it evolves to encourage new forms of expression, but also retain the value of unique…

But you see the issue, right? We have many, many words that are intensifiers already. We have very few that mean “actually happened in a specific and literal sense.” So we’re just losing a tool from our toolkit the way we’ve lost “ironic,” and that’s sad.

I’m saying a prayer for your penis

seriously. im fucking tired of it. and that article that it links to is disgusting bullshit.

Same. This is why far lefties make such crappy allies. The GOP took two hostages. We saved one and now we can focus on saving the other but the purity ponies were jonesing for a shutdown. THAT was their goal. Not the Dreamers or CHIP. They wanted the drama. To hell with the policy or the nine million people who were…

Yes, they bought a 3 week reprieve, where they can crow about getting the can kicked, while losing a massive piece of leverage on a longer bill.

I get the feeling you’d see this same article somewhere out there if CHIP continued to go unfunded while Dems held out for DACA. We’d be talking about how Dems don’t give a shit about poor children of color and how our future generations are always left high and dry in favor of a political stunt. I bet it’s a draft on…

I have my issues w/ parts of the Democratic Party, but DACA is the dumbest hill to shutdown the government and die on. The Democratic Party has no power in the House and is the minority party in the Senate. Stopping government services/benefits and furloughing thousands of federal workers in blue states was never…

CHIP isn’t “nothing”. Certainly not to people who rely on it. I don’t understand how this is getting short shrift.

Apparently Netflix didn’t produce this like they did the Death Note one (which I can’t comment because I didn’t see), but from what I can tell it came out a few months ago in Japan and was well-received.

In this case, if you don’t already recognize it, it won’t even matter, but it’s FullMetal Alchemist 

They apparently changed the nominating rules for Animated Picture this year, every voter can vote in this category (like they do with Best Picture) instead of just people in animation industry.

Horror movies don’t win best picture (it has happened once) and they’re rarely even nominated.

It follows the weeks Lady Bird Johnson and Carrie Fisher were in fat camp together.

I’m still not convinced that it isn’t.

Things I learned today. Lady Bird is not actually a biopic about Lady Bird Johnson. Up until today, I honestly thought it was.
