I’m no fan of the dems but it’s incredible to me that these assholes would think that after years of being obstructionist shits unwilling to compromise with dems in the slighest that they could just walk right over and get a compromise out of THEM. Fuck off, you bigoted shits

Mileage just really seemed to vary with this one, and it’s fine. I think it’s just expectation setting maybe; I don’t want to spoil anything but I think what I enjoyed is that I figured out one thing pretty fast but didn’t guess a few other things AND had no idea how it was all going to turn out but I felt like the…

I’m sure plenty of people will throw up their hands and say “well it’s true, we don’t want them to start going into labor in a prison yard!” and leave it at that, but the solution here is so emblematic of how the entire system works: we have actual problems we need solutions for, but because we’re treating prisoners…

I can handle jeans if they’re like, a size above what I think I might actually wear (who knows!). I also am not a big fan of that sensation, though.

I can’t believe I cared so much about a size number. It’s so fucking stupid. I want to just wear joggers or leggings whenever I can from now on, and if I wear jeans - as I…

Can you tell me more about the job in the game industry you absolutely do not have if you’re saying this? How many of us need to weigh in and explain how staffing in the industry works to get it through the heads of folks like you that you’re extremely wrong?

I once worked for a smaller business catering to largely wealthy clientele; these are people who would often have the “help” entering through a *completely separate door* in their home. There was one constant: the richer they were, the less likely they were to pay. They’d be first to haggle to get prices down as low…

Right, I’ve been just fucking stewing about this because Clarkson is a KNOWN asshole and here he is again, continuing to be garbage. It’s frustrating.

And so many people defending it. The hate Meghan gets is absolutely staggering to me and fuck anyone who says it’s not about race. It’s about race.

Drake is kinda iffy, if I understand right - he seems to have a bit of an interest in younger women.

Rihanna isn’t surprising to me but it’s still sad. I already knew this myself but as with so many things in life, expecting empathy from others who have been in your shoes isn’t always a given. There are many times…

I hear you, but it seemed so clear in this case that the conservatorship was an extension of abuse and many ARE fraught with abuse. My argument isn’t that conservatorships are all inherently bad, but rather that this situation patently wasn’t appropriate for her as designed and from my view perhaps not necessary at…

It’s extremely funny to me because I kinda thought he’d just get away with it, and maybe he might have, but he was going on for SO LONG in ways that had to have made his lawyers want to bang their heads against the wall. Can’t believe another one of these much-vaunted geniuses is a fucking idiot who was totally fine…

One of the big refrains during the discussion about freeing her from her conservatorship was that it wasn’t that she’s totally fine and not dealing with some mental health issues, but that these shouldn’t necessitate a conservatorship.

I think some folks are probably still missing that. I imagine that her mental health…

Not to mention those of us in the Bay Area who know all about what goes down at the Tesla factory. He can piss and moan about “leftists” but that’s not what this was - “leftists” aren’t going to see Dave Chappelle en masse in 2022. I’m not a huge fan of a lot of the tech folks here myself (though I have to concede two…

Right, yeah. I don’t think they’d care because they’d consider the first “woke” already.

Do you feel that Tina Smith’s response to Kavanaugh was inadequate?

In California, demonstrably untrue. It’s one reason I tout Trans Lifeline constantly as a resource for the trans community, as they *explicitly* state that they do not contact services. I know several trans people who have called suicide hotlines which have in turn called 911 and the night ended with a trans person in…

Eh, I did figure it would still be close but mostly just assumed Warnock had it.

The Dropout was really not written all that well but I guess we’re forgiving everything because of some decent performances. Whew. 

Just adding in my usual big shoutout to all the not-even-conservative idiots who fell hook, line and sinker for stupid shit about sports or handwringy “concerns” about kids and puberty blockers or that one story they read about somewhere all completely ignoring the actual trans community in general, doctors in…

I’m against corporal punishment completely, so there’s NO hitting of a child of any age that I’m okay with, but hitting a goddamn two year old. YOU are the problem as a parent in that scenario no matter what a child has done. And she can probably sit back and think about how she got “pushed” to that brink by…

Dave Chappelle’s SNL monologue on this one kind of summarized the overall sentiment of the right here for me: the gist there was “it’s not that Kanye’s WRONG about what he says about the Jews, he should just know better than to say it that way.”

They’re not mad about the antisemitism, period, they just like it when…
