My boyfriend tries to tell me this all the time, that there are pockets of the internet with terrible and horrible things, but the majority of what is out there is decent and even maybe good.

Quite frankly, the internet has been nothing but a blessing for hate groups and for bigots. Yes, overall the internet has had a democratizing effect and I do think it has led to people in general becoming more liberal. But it has also led to people being reinforced in their crazy ideas in a way that was literally…

I’d like to believe that, too. A platform is a platform - and now these moronic dipshits have one, so they’re able to spew their shit around. My fear is that when these morons see each other out there it’s a chance for them to get together (much like what we do here) and amplify their feewings about how to Make…

I really want to believe that these kind of assholes have been around forever, we just didn’t get blasted in the face by thier bullshit. In the 90s we had the militia movement (rather funny how these kind of people only seem to have issues with the government when the left is in charge) which had moments of spotlight,…

For an even fuller context, why not include the entire history of the United States in every news story?

Am I naive in the ways of real estate for being shocked that a 30 million dollar mansion only has three bedrooms?

Yup.

Same (Wait, are one room apartments mansions? I forget)

Do you guys think rich people eat Nutter Butters? I’d like to think of them as the great unifier as opposed to an emulsifier, which can take the shape and form of an ancient leprechaun and has potato chips for eyes.

I hate that I know exactly the type you’re talking about. Dudes who’ve figured out that social progressivism is basically a free ticket to lots of boning with sex-positive (read; kinda slutty and almost certainly using contraceptives) women. A lot of us active feminists know too many dudes who are ardent “allies” but…

ktown sort of stops at olympic. no clue what he’s doing at pico and western.

Points to Joe Mande. I am a So Cal native, and I know where Pico and Western is. Although it’s not necessarily “bad” per se, I don’t go over there unless I specifically have business over there.

Agreed. Smile or no smile. Hell, he could look like a goddamn Persian cat and I’d still think he’s the bae-est because of his ludicrous amount of talent.

Isn’t saying that black men should smile also pretty problematic (if you will)? I.e., that they are inherently aggressive unless they smile often?

Have you seen the Bye Felipe instagram account? It’s AMAZING.

I hope she will write about her experience because public figures talking about their valid choices that go against the social norms is a net positive. They didn’t want to marry in the first place and only did it to avoid immigration hassles, and she’s been vocal about her choice not to have children.

“And I realized that barista not only held my coffee. But also the deepest needs of my soul. Taking the cup from him, I was in communion with a godhead that would free me and nourish me. Of course I didn’t tip him. That would have insulted the soul-work that we had performed together.”

I would skip all the other sections and go straight for revenge. YEAH, GREAT, YOU LIVE IN AN ASHRAM, WHATEVER but NOW tell me about setting all of his sneakers on fire in a bathtub.

I just want to eat, i don’t care about other stuff
