Information age tech used to further bronze age bullshit.

No matter what we do, auto accidents happen. People die in car wrecks. No matter how many rules and restrictions we make and our licensing requirements people still have fatal auto accidents. So, are you ready to give up driving cars for the good of everyone?

Are her parents happy now? Instead of a child who did not grow up to meet their personal expectations - because, holy shit, that never happens to any parent ever — now they have no child. Bastards.

I suffer from chronic depression (which is sucky beyond the telling of it, but also doesn't hold a candle to CANCER), and my animals (two bouncy young dogs, one very grumpy old man kitty) are my lifeline—they're quite literally the only thing that gets me out of bed some days. It makes me ill to think about losing one…

Is a member of another oppressed minority (First Nations), I disagree quite strongly with this.

Well that says it all doesn't it?

Medical examiner said cause of death was the throat being crushed.

Woof. Am I the only person who thinks this all comes off as bratty, not charming?

My crush on Demi Lovato continues ...

Demi is so goddamn classy. Love her so much.

taylor swift is the most supportive person ever

I'm going to say the thing you're not supposed to say about someone's kids:

I live with my parents. My mother is disabled and in declinig heath. I'm her primary caregiver. I think our relationship is good despite the massive strain that accompanies a child having to essentially parent their parent. I don't think your obviously biased view is particularly healthy.

I'm Asian, and it's pretty normal/traditional to live with parents until you get married in my culture. In many cultures it's normal to live with your families in a multigenerational household after you get married too. So you mind racism, classism, sexism, and homophobia, but not xenophobia or othering cultures…

There's a lot of evidence that, that value of a "core of independence" apart from actually being mythical (there all sorts of ways on which we are dependent and interdependent that aren't visible) is also really unhealthy.

Saying that it's not "remotely healthy" to live with your parents is also really culturally narrow-minded. There are lots and lots of cultures in which families stick together that way.

And my god, if I can do it THEN YOU CAN TO.

It is interesting that something which has been the norm in American society up until just very recently and is still the norm in many other societies you would call not even "remotely healthy."

That sounds like my dream date.

NOPE. Ever After is and always will be the best Cinderella. She was a feminist (she saves HERSELF from the creepy rapist at the end!) and a social justice crusader. Love.
