More quotes from people who don’t understand how words work:

Yup, pretty much. I guess it annoys me at an abstract level that people keep misconstruing the tenets of feminism and also misusing the word “humanism” (which does not mean what SJP thinks it means unless she’s really into Enlightenment-era political philosophy)

I agree that it’s more about actions than labels, but when people (particularly women) in positions of influence say things like that it only further stigmatizes feminism. When people disavow it like that it makes it seem like a dirty word. Plus for her to say she’s not a feminist and then continue on to say she’s…

Except they’re two significantly different things; to even suggest one is an alternative to the other illustrates a fundamental ignorance of both. I think before anything else changes, we should make it illegal to form and share opinions about a subject without at least reading its Wikipedia entry. I’m so tired of…

I want to hear the rest of the story...how much did we save not enforcing pot laws, encarceration, court costs, etc...I’m guessing the 62 million might be on the low side.

Oh yeah, I have no delusion that she can be convinced by logic, reason, facts or any metric shit-ton combination of the 3.

This book is amazing. It really highlights how comparatively terrible it was to live without clean water, modern sanitation, etc. It was not romantic or picturesque, it was brutal.

Yup. Measles is not chicken pox.

It’s up there with letting your kids get brutal sunburns because it will make the kid’s skin “used” to the sun and not burn so easy. Thst’s not how it works! Oh, I’ve also seen that some of my anti-vaxxer friends are all concered about how “toxic” sunscreen is. AAAAAARRRRGGGGHHHH!

I think because the vaccine has kept our population measles-free for so long, a lot of them are ignorant of just how serious an illness measles is. They think it’s like a cold or something.

What gets me is that the “VACCINES CAUSE AUTISMMMMM” crowd is basically saying that having a child with autism is worse than having a child who becomes deathly ill with measles (or whooping cough, or whatever) and possibly dies. How is a child with autism worse than a DEAD CHILD?

We actually get most of our avocados from Mexico and the Valley (Rio Grande), but as a Texan, we thank you for using your last few precious drops of water to help keep the price nice and low.

Y’know, on principle, I agree with you. Go ahead, put peas in your guac. I’m not a fan of avocado, anyway, but the peas will ensure that other people who actually do might stay out of it. (Peas are gross. There’s still that.) So, if you don’t find peas gross, boom: more guac for you.

Fuck your pea included abomination recipe masquerading as food, Burneko. I used to like you. You're dead to me now. DEAD.

We need to have limits to this shit here man. Don’t you realize what you have done. First its peas in guacamole, touted as some “michelin chefs take on a mexican classic” and the next thing you know some ironic jack ass is putting nacho cheese on al pastor and charging 5 dollars per taco in Silverlake, and the next…

This comment is physically painful to me.

If you want to add a bucket of burnt hair to it, I mean I probably will pass on having some, but: do what you want.

Not a bad take, Burneko, but surely even your permissive outlook must take issue with Chris Christie’s variation of adding a busload of shrieking schoolchildren to his guacamole before devouring it with a angrily tumescent gluttony boner.

Some dude putting peas in his guac is one thing. The Paper of Upper-Crust White Record located in a town that craves Western authenticity publishing a guac recipe with English peas and fucking sunflower seeds is just begging for hate.

I suppose he could just take your maiden name, sort of a trade off.
