As someone who has had to tangle with the medical system in great depth this whole year, seeking to get proper care for my ill and disabled father without also bankrupting him and my mom, I can attest to the desperation, hopelessness, and despair one can feel. And if it were your CHILD who needed the care... I can’t…

The ACA is still a disaster compared to any sane health care infrastructure. It’s only good compared to what the US used to have.

The “talks too much” thing made me want to punch through a wall. How dare your SO want to talk to you! Maybe her “low sex drive” is just her not wanting to fuck someone who shushes her when she’s speaking.

Why not both?

In (life) (I) care more about what’s wrong with (me) than what’s right. Thank you very much severe depression. I would hate you so much but really, you have been such a loyal and constant companion. But I do need a break every now and again so I am going to swallow this zanax and go to sleep. Don’t be mad!! You’re…

Apparently in Texas you do not have to identify yourself to the police unless you are under arrest. So if they arrested her for not identifying herself, they got the law backwards.

Why are the weekend trolls such low quality

God this version used to make me sob. I still get choked up any time I listen to the song “When A Mermaid Comes Of Age.”

For those that are interested in a cartoon version that most closely follows the original story, here’s the 1975 Japanese version with English subtitles:

So, as a gay man... you have never dated a man? Having a hard time keeping your comments straight?

Dude.

So, I’m really struggling with the cognitive dissonance of knowing men around the world will take any opportunity to keep women down and the idea that I’m supposed to fall in love with one.

Also, “making love” is maybe my least favorite term for sex. It is 1000000% not what is happening when I am involved, as much as I love my boyfriend.

Agreed. Don’t tune in to NBC to “ironically” watch it, or just to “hate watch” the “train wreck.” Don’t watch clips on Hulu or nbc.com on Sunday or Monday. Total radio silence on criticism. NBC wants viewers and Trump wants attention, let’s not feed the monsters.

It was only this year that I realised that people had a social media ‘image’. Up until that point I earnestly believed that everyone I knew had perfect lives and that made me so happy, but gently puzzled as to why mine was so imperfect, then put it down to autism.

“Who rules from his pineapple under the sea?”

People find ways to get out of work to get Iphones, Star Wars tickets, and free Dunkin Donuts coffee.

It’s almost as if refusing to protect trans people didn’t stop straight men from going into womens’ restrooms to assault children there.

Is this an irony test?
