People who are on death row are violent murderers, and not innocent.

And by killing a murderer the killer of the murderer becomes another one in turn. Isn’t it illogical that a society would choose to punish a crime it deems heinous by committing the same crime upon the person it is punishing?

It is coherent if you accept it’s about punishment and not about saving lives.

I never thought I’d ever type these words but, “Good on Pfizer!”

Amazing when reality dawns as it actually is — and not the way in which we have been trained to perceive it. It is so hard to disentangle from this since our main care providers are responsible for our subconscious assumptions in the first place.

Scapegoat whenever she kicked my Dad out had a new boyfriend and needed someone to blame for her marriage relationship problems, golden child when she was lonely and wanted me to be her friend.

Eggshells. My mother would regularly have screaming fits (sometimes days long) followed by hysterical sobbing over whatever-the-fuck happened to trigger her that particular day. Then she would freak out and have pity parties about how “everyone walks on eggshells around me/why do you all treat me so badly.”

I worked with a woman and she brought her two kids to the company picnic, The boy was into everything more so than any kid his age I’ve ever seem. Her daughter literally just stood there. The mother smiled at her son’s antics and yelled at her daughter. There was no safe movement for the little girl.

I related to this viscerally. My mother was angriest when she sensed that we (and especially I ) were happy, and then the rage would take over, eclipsing everything else. Our childhood was spent in fear: the toll of which is lifelong.

MARK! *HUGS*

HUGGSSSS

1/3 for the titles.

The other half being “the way it sounds”?

Country music song titles are half the reason I hate country music.

It’s not that younger women are bad at sex, it’s that women pretty much across the board report enjoying sex more by their late 20s/early 30s than they did when they were early 20s. Younger women are usually far more experienced at providing a good sexual experience to a guy than they are at enjoying one themselves…

Completely. And not just strength, in my experience, but also month upon month of telling your body, “this is what I want you to do now, and you’re just going to have to deal with this” while your ass goes “....Nah. Floor? I like the floor.”

“Reagan/Bush ‘84"?

Who thinks we might be trapped in a black mirror episode?

Not surprising considering Oregon’s history.

Yeah, I see what they were going for, but in their defense, it would have taken at LEAST another half an hour to find a person of color in Portland to run that name by.
