Thanks. I think it’s possible that’s what she was trying to say, but her language usage is in general pretty weird. I wasn’t sure if it was some sort of regional euphemism or what.

Can somebody please explain to me just what the fuck (if anything) this means?

These are excellent points. I would add that as for the developing nervous system, while at some point it will be able to detect noxious stimuli, and will respond to said stimuli, there’s no way it had the perceptual apparatus necessary to perceive “pain”. I say this only because it’s an argument I’ve seen by…

Catholics are not evangelicals. While evangelicals are almost always insane theocratic fascists, with catholics it’s more 50/50, depending upon the region you’re in.

I’ve noticed that, too. They also use it in place of “fascist”, even when fascist is the appropriate term.

I think this is probably the best advice. I’ve been single for a while and honestly not looking, but social media in general is an illusion. You can’t take the measure of a person by a list of attributes, some misleading pictures, and a bit of text. Some people may be genuine and honest, but those are probably the…

I’ve never really bothered with them aside from looking briefly out of curiosity. Social media in general bothers me in that it reduces a person to a series of data points. The person itself disappears in the process. I understand your issues with self-esteem, though, as I have dealt with them all my life. The best…

Beat me to it. All Cats are Beautiful. Cops are scum.

Is that a rhetorical question?

I think any feminist posturing by Jez authors these days is just that: posturing. A lot of these articles read like they were ghost-written by some hack spamfeller brought in that isn’t a feminist, but knows the right buzzwords to use.

Jez is hardly feminist these days.

Why on earth would it? They’ve already demonstrated that they have no issues whatsoever with resorting to undemocratic means to attain, consolidate, and maintain power. Oooh, the fascists are quaking in their jackboots because the general public disagrees with them! They’re gonna be terrified when you threaten to…

Well, pathological narcissists, for one. They will completely fuck you over and be all “This doesn’t change anything, right? Wait, why are you walking away?”.

This is what I was responding to. Trump did nothing single-handedly. You mentioned some of who/what paved the way (although you forgot mr. “post-truth” Gingrich, and Nixon, of course). Republicans were already utilizing disinformation to a sickening extent. Republicans voted for him. Their politicians made way for him…

Trump didn’t do anything the republicans weren’t already working on for decades. He was just the head of the pimple.

Keep telling yourself that.

As far as I can tell, Nixon was the turn. When an evil cabal of ratfuckers engages in antidemocratic measures to grasp and hold onto power and gets away with it, that sets one hell of a precedent.

Don’t sully the Addams like that.
