When I started on this career path, I was 17 years old in university and had never even had a boyfriend. This career is all I’ve ever wanted.

I mentioned that both men and women should perhaps find another profession if they want children. Again, choices. Tough old world where people can’t have everything they want with zero sacrifices. I very much agree that the US does things wrong as far as maternity/paternity leave. I’ve lived abroad and have seen…

You’re getting flamed for this but I agree. I know a woman, who was a secretary she wanted to do corporate law. Her husband said ok. He worked 4 jobs to put her through law school, they planned had kids so that she would take the bar and deliver around the same time. Then she got a job with waffle house, she makes…

The point is that there may never be a good time. People choose their professions mostly. Along with making the decision to become a highly educated professional that has to spend a decade preparing for said profession comes choices as to what you can and cannot have. Sometimes these choices are hard, but they are…

It was picked up not because of anything he was wearing, but a bit more to do with how he climbed on a moving schoolbus and went batshit.

Oh, you mean the world where Pan Am and Atari still exist?

Horrible and kinda racist, yeah, nowhere near factual, though

“Captain Pedantic”
Commander, actually. 

If you don’t know what you’re talking about no one will take you seriously. That’s important if we’re ever going to get reasonable firearm legislation.

except that politicians who know even less about firearms are going to draft legislation based on bad terminology, which in a legal sense very much does matter. Words are important, and facts are important. Using the wrong words will result in ineffective regulation. Don’t get defensive just because someone knows more…

I’m a pro-choice, pro-LGBTQ, pro-separation of Church and State (and many other things) Republican. There’s a word for that in today’s political spectrum:

I’m sure there are pro-choice Republicans—I don’t know about “plenty,” though—just as there are gay Republicans, but they are not nearly as welcome in their party as anti-choice people are in the Democratic party. Tomi Lahren got a lot of grief for saying that the right to live free from government interference…

I can’t wait until the woman who grew up as an heiresses’ daughter, in multiple multi-million dollar homes, who went to private schools and Columbia University, calls me a liberal elite.

Plenty? Plenty? Seriously shut the fuck up. There are like 2 of these people and their party doesn’t give s fuck about what they think.

Nothing more irritating than an old person taking pride in not knowing things.

Complain, complain. Until you’ve tried to denude a scrotum without the assistance of a local anesthetic.... then you can come talk to me.

But first you must read this gripping account of the campaign

You must be fun at funerals.

The only thing more obnoxious than the folks who (justifiably) gripe about Penny Arcade’s aversion to comedy are the people who lie in wait to gripe about the griping. They are almost as obnoxious as the people who leave the “you must be fun at parties” comments. 

There’s no pleasing you bastards. I laughed.
