Related: I’ve come across this phenomenon dealing with doctors when it comes to fibromyalgia, which I suffer from. The accepted “wisdom” nowadays is that “opioids are not the accepted treatment” (despite the fact that they are the only treatment that works for me). Instead, the treatments are SSRIs [namely Cymbalta…

Don’t draw a line you’re not going to keep.

Did the steroids make you take a misogynistic course of action, like, say, going after the female author specifically and making remarks about some guy not wanting to fuck her?

To everyone trying to explain his behavior with “cancer”, read this part again:

Also, as for the republicans, for me it all goes back to Nixon and his “gang of four”. Kissinger still blows my mind as to how prominent democrats love his warmongering ass. It’s one thing to be the “party of peace” while quietly bombing the shit out of everyone. But they publicly embrace him, a truly evil man. All of…

Yeah, I didn’t mean to make it sound like this is a “new” thing for Biden (just that he’s our “new” president). Biden, as we continually pointed out during the primaries, has always been friendly with some supremely scummy people (many of whom are/were republicans). He somehow doesn’t see the bigger picture, despite…

Yeah, it doesn’t bode well that even our new president wants to see trump as an “anomaly”, rather than precisely what the GOP has been pushing for for decades.

Thanks for reminding me... bleah

He thinks he’s rocking a faux-hawk, but it’s really just a mullet.

I love this comment like my own daughter.

I thank the gods of the internet that that statement too the turn it did in the second sentence. Cruz is the epitome of a small-minded, [thinks he] knowitall-jackass. Petty was made for assholes like him.

Trolling as a business strategy generally only works for right-wingers.

A “change in ownership” means precisely jack-fucking-shit in terms of the attitude, behavior, or even basic makeup of staff. These aren’t exactly the kinds of jobs that most people aspire to, so I’m guessing the staff was unchanged. People with a great deal of empathy don’t tend to last very long in these settings.

Qanon is successful in part because it’s so overly broad. They really designed that shit to suck in people from all sorts of fringe groups.

Yeah, it’s complete batshittery. My sister has been disappearing down a conspiracy hole for the past decade, and it’s so sad to watch. Whenever I talk to her, I try to steer the conversation away from the usual stuff to the more UFO-related matters, because at least that’s interesting to me, and it’s less likely to be…

I haven’t been on facebook since he was elected. I had been getting increasingly frustrated with the entire site up to that point, but I knew it was going to be a complete shit-show afterwards so I never went back. I don’t miss it at all. If you must use it, you should use every tool available to curate your feed and…

This is the same psychopath that was caught throwing rocks at a toddler in a playpen, when he was a kid. The same one who “thrived” in the bully-culture of military school. The only reason he’s not a serial killer is because he came from money and found he could fill his insatiable desire for inflicting cruelty in…

Since I developed fibromyalgia, the majority of people I thought were friends have dropped out of my life. So I fucked off to somewhere else and enjoy being alone. Sadly, most people don’t want to be around a “downer”, even if you’re holding the negativity back most of the time for their benefit.
