Definitely being an obese man nearly 80 years old had nothing to do with his health problems . . .

Big fat eyeroll at your fear of “chemicals.”

Haha, you do have a lot of questions. I ended up leasing. I pay something like $250 a month. Can’t remember how much I put down but I negotiated quite a bit from the $3000 they were asking. My job requires me to drive to different buildings around town for the same company. Parking is a nightmare but all the lots have…

I mean, compared to the rest of the story . . . it fits.

2 doors with an INFANT?! 

The Pacifica is also significantly more expensive.

I did that EXACT swap. Weeeeeird.  I fucking hate Entune but otherwise it’s nice to get a bigger vehicle and buy less gas.

“I don’t have any social media accounts!”

Yeah honestly when I first read that she wasn’t in a coma it made me sick all over again.  It means she probably experienced it and felt hurt/violated in some way.  It’s all so gross and sad.

I grew up in a very small town in Michigan in preinternet days.  I’m not sure I met a black person before college either.  My very small town, and all the very small towns around mine, were predominately white with a small population of Latino migrant workers.  I had a lot of blind spots about racism that took a…

Eh.  That used to be true.  But the “in your face” rebel flag shit has infiltrated the north now.  I live in Michigan and a few years ago I saw a confederate flag RALLY 10 miles from where I grew up.

I grew up in Michigan and lived my entire life in the Midwest and I’ve never saw anyone in blackface (in real life . . . obviously I’ve seen plenty on the internet).  Of course I saw white people doing OTHER racist things, but not this particular one.  People have different life experiences.

I mean I guess that depends on your background and where you live.  HIV is pretty fucking rare in the US so I’m not sure why you would choose that test in particular.

I didn’t decide for you.  I didn’t write an article with a headline that says, “STOP doing this thing!”  The world is a disgusting place, friend.  You can’t avoid it.

Oh yeah.  You’ve eaten your share of poo.

I’m sure a lot of people do racist shit knowing it is racist, and hurtful, and wrong. But there are A LOT of white people who don’t know. I’m white, mid-30s, and progressive. I actively seek out content like this to learn more about racial issues. I think I learned about blackface like 4 or 5 years ago. At first I…

Meh. I think it shows masochism.

Obama wasn’t president in 2008 and when he became president THE FOLLOWING year he steered out country out of a fucking recession.  Fuck off with your “democrats are bad too” shit.

No but I touch public surfaces with my hands all the time and I’m not losing my goddamn mind about that.
