That cheesecake in the header looks INCREDIBLE.

Fuck respecting adults! Jesus Christ, what the fuck is wrong with people?! That bullshit is always used to justify authoritarianism, ironically by the same people screaming about government overreach.

Is there anything the GOP can’t twist to blame on basic human decency?

I remember as a teenager sitting in some church youth program and this woman got up and started talking about how horrible self esteem is, as a concept. I think the basic idea was that *self* esteem invited focus on the self, which was a form of self-worship, whereas good Christians should focus only on god and…

The petite bourgeoisie will split between reactionary fascism based on their feared loss of status and revolutionary socialism based on the realization they were being used as a buffer and puppets by the haute bourgeoisie and that they were never truly free in the first place. 

I feel the same complicated emotions. This isn’t a solution, but being pro-sex and pro-choice and pro-birth control doesn’t address the culture that doesn’t promote a conscious approach to parenthood. And most liberal, educated perspectives on this are way too rosy re: the fate of children in these situations. Love is…

I’m an addiction counselor in a rural area, and most of my clients are poor, low-functioning, and have low educational levels. Many of them have no transportation or internet access. They often have unstable housing.

As for me, I’ve started asking, “How come you want these victims to ‘get over it,’ yet if anyone suggested the same about 9/11, you’d blow a gasket?” I’ve never gotten a response.

Another element of himpathy is the push for forgiveness and healing — sometimes literal days after the action. But when people say “forgiveness,” what they really mean it moving on, being over the transgression, and never mentioning the incident again. We’ve become so focused on that, that we don’t realize that…

Ohhhh man, the second my eyes locked on the article’s picture I was already steeling myself to read “William Dafoe accused by former assisant of sexual assault” or the like. You stay golden, pony boy.

It begs the question: How lazy are we? Or, in this case, you? Is it REALLY that much of a time-saver to not turn on a coffee maker, for instance?

Home automation, much like the coding of this website, do not adhere to any kind of standards.

Personally, I think it’s a bad faith argument to blame non-consensual or manipulative sexual advances on a sexually liberated culture. You can have one without the other. Your argument also implies that before the advent of culturally normalized casual sex, women were being treated respectfully and on equal footing.…

I used to wonder why this happened, but Democrats face a challenge that Republicans do not. As an instructive aid, sometimes I practise thinking like a Republican (I won’t call them conservatives because they are radical extremists in every sense of the word), and it is soooooo relaxing. Simplistic clichés in lieu of…

Does anyone else get the impression that “gay up until the point of intercourse” means, “I hate women, but goddamnit, I want to have sex with women”? 

You left out giving up the free money they get each year from the sovereign oil fund. Imagine that, a country that instead of handing all the profits from its oil wealth over to corporate cronies actually enriches its citizens.

Why would anyone from Norway want to come to the US? They love gun violence and terrible schools? They feel like they’ll see themselves as more attractive among the highest obesity rates in the world? Maybe they’re tired of universal healthcare and want to see what it’s like to get sick without insurance? Or perhaps…

One of the things that struck me when I was away was, for people who are football fans in America, how much of our lives we put into it, and I’m including myself in that. It feels somehow life and death, and I’ve increasingly wondered whether it should

Let us have a moment of silence for the trees that were needlessly sacrificed for this man’s showboating.
