By this guy’s logic, members of the military who have seen combat and killed people are mentally ill. Same with mobsters, gangsters, and UFC fighters, I guess. It falls apart upon the slightest scrutiny.

As long as they don’t mention the private equity douches in question.

My feet hurt just looking at it.

According to a Doctor Who episode, the royal family were werewolves, so maybe that’s why they have such a problem with [vampire] Meghan.

To GoldenGirlsGirl, thank you so much for your reply and explanation. I appreciate it and wish I could reply to you directly.

You could steal them and the lumber from a construction site, I suppose.

I love mid-century modern, but a lot of her design choices are way too clashy for my tastes. It’s all sensory overload, which is not what I think of when I think of mid-century modern. Not so many oversaturated tones (like all the bright red). Not the wallpaper consisting of giant pictures instead of groovy patterns.…

Not job-related, but I had a “friend” who was similarly stressing me out. I started to realize how abusive he was, and how much he would take advantage of my generosity, etc. It got to the point where whenever my phone would notify me of a text message, I had a startle response and felt stressed out, because I was…

I noticed that, too. It’s really bothering me. I don’t understand the decisions the coders make, like at all.

The only way I’ve ever made it out of the greys is when one of the staff brought me out. Anna Merlan ungreyed me when I responded to her farewell post. She really is the one I miss most. Thankfully I can still read her on Vice (but not comment...).

Remember when republicans were merely obstructionists? “The party of ‘no’”? They’ve moved beyond that into active malevolence. They still do the obstruction thing in congress, because they’re the minority party, now. But when they’re in charge, like DeFuckwits, their entire agenda consists of hurting people that they…

Just a reminder that when right-wingers talk about valuing “freedom” (and I’m not just talking about republicans, but “Libertarians” as well), it’s a fucking LIE. They don’t give a fuck about freedom, and never have, unless it’s their “freedom” to tell everyone else how they can live their lives, or what they can or…

Or, that person’s descendants would have somehow prevented the colonization of California, thereby keeping Meghan from ever owning that property?

Exactly. I’ve frequently been sickened by their response to police brutalizing protesters (they tend to think it’s “funny”).

Yeah, sort of. The small “l” libertarians were anarchists. American “Libertarians” aren’t actually interested in liberty, or equality for that matter. There’s basically no relation between the two groups. I’m guessing you already know that - just putting this out there for anyone who’s unsure.

She was a (capital L) Libertarian before they even met. It’s something they have in common.

Hmm...

She was extremely lucky that the bear was distracted by the dogs when she pushed it. It only noticed her at the last second. If it had noticed her a second earlier we might be reading about her severe injuries.

“Free market” is just a buzzphrase they picked up from Libertarians. They don’t actually believe in free market principles, because they’re fascists. In fascism, capitalism is tied directly to the state - corporations work for the good of the state. All their talk of “freedom” and “liberty” is a smokescreen, because…

So, in your “vast experience”, does it not bother you that this guy is trying to pass off his violent behavior as a mental health crisis of some sort? In your “vast experience”, do people with mental health problems always exhibit violent behavior, or is that a social stigma that needs to be fucking done away with?
