This.

How else can they prove to MAGA hats that they’re not part of the radical leftist agenda unless they both-sides everything?

Your take is decidedly different, and much more correct, than Osberg’s post just a few minutes ago.

They even made a toned down street version of these things!

I agree, and will add that they have far too much influence in this country. Trump is a symptom, but evangelicals are a big part of the cause.

Yeah, I’m really disappointed to learn that I agree with Trump on anything.

He’s not the only one...

Maybe I missed it, but I only saw Eric referred to as her partner. No mention of a blood bond, but it does stand to reason that if they have chosen a life together her daughter comes as part of the deal. Maybe give Eric some credit for potentially stepping up to help raise someone else’s child?

You operate in this weird twilight where you know about these things but also know that not everyone else does. Amazingly self aware.

Because you are not a certified Cheap Bastard™

Maybe just... don’t? It’s doubtful that you’ll convince your friend that all cops are bad, and it seems like she knows how you feel already. You say he’s a good guy but there are no good cops... so you’re looking for ways to tell your friend that her husband is, innately in your eyes, a bad person. I’d let it go…

In case anyone thinks this is not real:

This is a Penthouse Forum letter without the sex.

Why, all of them, my dear. ALL of them.

If Level 2 autonomy can convince this dipshit to recline the seat and take a snooze, how on Earth can we not expect that full autonomy won’t entice a million other idiots to pound beers, smoke a bowl, wank off, watch Pornhub, or post witty replies to Jalopnik?

I say this as a person who frequently forgets/doesn’t bother to close a curtain before disrobing (not in my current apt, because the bedroom window leads to an overly brightly lit parking lot, but in my last few homes), and I mean no moral judgement by it:

Has anyone noticed (/s) that the longer guys like Whedon get away with shit, the worse they get? The notion of men getting harmless as they age is an especially toxic one.

technically at some point everyone had parents, but some of them may not have their parents anymore and might be taken care of by another relative like aunt/uncle/grandparent. This is not “pandering”, this is simply choosing to find a way to be more inclusive to those that might not still have parents, or that might…

Yeah, you’re right, it’s better to make a child feel isolated than to change some phrasing, good point. 

Bless your close-minded lil heart.
