I have an autistic son and every moron selling Doterra has told me I should “oil” my son as treatment. I also have an autoimmune disease and the same idiots try to sell me stuff they claim I can put on my food to feel better. I wish people were smarter and that telling people how to treat illness with bullshit was…

This is why quacks like naturopaths should be banned. Let’s not give any fake legitimacy to their nonsense. This child was essentially dead by the time his body was brought to actual medical professionals. I guarantee you every quack being asked about this situation is going to say that the actual doctors screwed up…

Actually, I think if they had refused to offer any medical care and had a clear history of refusing it for themselves, they wouldn’t be punished. They chose “treatment” that was clearly ineffective and eventually did being their child to actual doctors. They could have provided real care to their child but waited…

I think people who are outraged that “gubmint” is stepping on parents’ toes are missing a crucial point: the parents DID understand their child was sick and sought medical care. They initially sought crap worthless care and once their child had suffered pointlessly basically to death, they finally took him to actual…

My theory is that the script initially was brilliant and then idiots marched in and added the stupid. The brownie scene is MASTERFUL: it’s the epitome of bad writing to have your characters literally tell the audience what they’ve experienced and feel, but the exposition is raw and real and the scene itself is the…

I love the scene where everyone tries to win the brownie for saddest life story to an embarrassing extent. But it truly is an excellent scene; there’s an astonishing depth to everyone’s performance in it and the meta ability to provide exposition without seeming hackneyed is brilliant. I think the screenplay is very…

I’m reminded of this horrifying mother:

All the high schools and middle schools in our district have dedicated parking spaces for police officers; I’m not clear if there is always one on duty or if they rotate in on a schedule or something.

Not a lot of Snow White love in your house, eh?

Cupcakes filled with the same love you’d give your kid any other day of the year, I suppose. Maybe tweak the ingredients if any friends have allergies?

I first noticed Casey in Good Will Hunting; he’s in the car with everyone and they’re giving his character shit. He squeals “keep antagonizing me! See what happens!” Something about the absolute unhinged nature and the inflection of how he says it makes me burst into laughter every time. He has a presence that’s…

I always loved the clothes in that show because it looked exactly like real life. I went to high school in the Pacific NW in the late 90s and that’s just what people looked like normally.

I liked the Tim story best because it sucked me in; it felt real and your writing voice was authentic. It felt pretty Stephen-Kingsy to me; the lack of polish added to the terrifying realness.

Man, I read the comments and didn’t even consider the third obvious response:

The internet is a great way for people to share their secret horrible actions with approving groups. You know this guy is uploading pictures to share, both as a way to relive the thrill and to bolster his standing in online communities.

Before even reading the comments, I’m doing a thought experiment about all the concern -trolling I expect to see.

Jennifer C was forced to try to get her medical bills paid by her insurance company thru suing the person who caused her injury- her nephew. It was as bewildering for her as it was for her family and I how you’re never in a position where your insurance company puts you in the same awkward position.

Thank you for posting a still that shows irrefutable proof that she is mid-kick. Also the headline is beautifully written.

It’s not quite “cthuljew” but yes, ficking kites, for real.

I saw a documentary about a Caucasian time-traveling teen who played “Johnny B Good” at his parent’s prom. Chuck Berry happened to hear it and stole the song as his own. So white people can safely claim rock n roll.
