But swimming pools, trampolines, and jungle gyms were designed for a purpose other than killing people. Why is this the first argument always made?? What kind of delusion would compel a person to argue that someone who owns a weapon that is specifically designed to fire an explosive projecticle at a being with the…

Thank you for sharing this. It couldn’t have been easy; but you were eloquent and succinct, which is much more than I am able to do when faced with this type of anger. I am so glad you survived such a dark time. I am sending you as much love as possible through the internet. ♡

WHO ARE ALL OF YOU TERRIFYING PEOPLE WHO WOULD LIE ABOUT HAVING GUNS IN THEIR HOUSE TO PEOPLE WHO ARE WORRIED ABOUT THEIR CHILDREN PLAYING THERE??? This is seriously the most fucking insane thing I have ever heard. What is WRONG with you??? Why is your love for guns more important than allowing those who dislike guns…

You are a weird fucking person if you lie to someone about keeping guns in your house.

I genuinely did not expect this outcome, and feel kind of blindsided;. As though I should have done more research.

This is well put and terrifying to think about. Yay, nightmares!

Doesn’t that make you just as explicit a contributor to the entire culture then? We have to stop acting like young women aren’t capable of navigating a dangerous world. We need to start teaching men more and trusting women more.

A friend of mine was very lucky to keep his life recently when a car pinned him to the building we work in. He lost a leg and is still having pelvis reconstruction surgery four months later but it could have been so much worse. It’s gotten to the point where there are enough people on the planet that freak accidents…

This hit me harder than any celebrity death in the last couple of years. Anton Yelchin was an unbelievably talented actor, and his performances never failed to impact me deeply emotionally. He will be so missed, this is absolutely heartbreaking.

It could be interpreted less literally than physical war. Were I a modern Muslim, I think I would interpret it to mean more that those who do not fight for what they believe will be resigned to a death of their soul. I think that was the point of the Quran study, dude. To interpret an ancient religious text through a…

Something I would maybe add about the quote that so disturbed the group is that to me, it did also immediately bring a discomfort, but I think specifically through the lens I view the world, and my own views of sexuality, rape culture, and even perhaps the mindset I subconsciously end up prioritizing when I read or…

If you ever end up visiting a bad zoo, it might change your mind :( I grew up in Seattle and the Woodland Park Zoo is huge and has mostly spacious exhibits (there are a few upsetting exceptions that I noticed on my last visit, which was my first as an actual mid-twenties adult and made me feel uncomfortable about…

That’s pretty much exactly how I feel. It doesn’t harm me at all to not post FarSide comics, so if it hurts his feelings I have no problem just not doing that. Gary Larsen has made my life much better through laughter, I feel fine trying to make his life better too.

You... you’re shitting me, right?

Wait, what?? Why doesn’t Gary Larsen want us sharing Far Side comics??

Does anyone have any resources for ways to help combat this kind of gender violence in Pakistan? I for one would like to know how to help and I’m not having any real luck via google.

Okay for real though, how is there NOT a version of the original Dating Show on TV right now?

But... I just don’t understand why you would care what they do on their own time. They aren’t feeding YOU meat, nor any of their other customers. I am genuinely curious to know why it bothers you that they eat meat on their own time. Is it to do with not wanting to patronize businesses whose owners have a different…

My boyfriend is just like you :) He eats vegan because the diet makes him feel healthier but he doesn’t bring it up unless we’re in a situation that involves food and he has to explain why his pizza needs to be cheeseless.

A lot of you may not be considering that a lot of people “re-dose” when they start coming down, and this is often how people stay high for that long. But I’ve also seen friends take a couple doses on a Sunday aftenoon and be high until Tuesday night without re-dosing. Acid is a manufactured chemical, and as such is…
