I get SO MANY unsolicited calls from people who begin by saying they’re on a recorded line.  I say, “I don’t know who you are, and you’re recording me? Okay, bye.”  The gall of these shitty companies!  Unlike the writer here, I do blame the workers.  They need to stop harassing strangers and get a different career.

(nerd alert) Goomba is a weirdly harsh insult here! They are short, weak, and brown. They are easily-defeated enemies. To call a human person a goomba is a cruel thing!

Catholics and Muslims and atheists have raped children literally billions of times without punishment, so there’s no reason to make this story about Judaism.

His face is obviously already melting, but will someone please just set him on fire?

There are plenty of reasons not to take the test, but that’s not one of them.  It’s not bogus.  It’s science.  It’s just science that you don’t understand.  Stop whining and go to a library.

I don’t see why they received their high school diplomas.

Meh. Wait a week, and he’ll be announcing that the citizenship question is back on the census. The combination of his stupidity and senility has meant that almost every major administration policy meets the definition of illegally “arbitrary and capricious.”

The government has to stay away from our guns so that they can focus on our bedrooms and bathrooms.

“poses no risk to people or fish” =/= “not threatening humans or marine life.”

Nah, it all just cancels out since they first advanced his career. He did a lot more damage than he ever could’ve done as some random Alabamian.

People still say that gender is the polite synonym for sex, and you want middle America to talk plainly and directly about rape?  Uh, good luck?

I’ve made this complaint to Republican friends and to Democrats who work in civil rights: Society has reduced queer people to only base desires. There has been far too much focus on the decriminalization of sex and the legalization of marriage. Democrats pushed hard for the thing that middle class cis/white people…

Children of the 60s, 70s, and 80s may remember Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom. I’m pretty sure I was watching real animals eat each other while I was in preschool. (And so did all of the other humans who lived for the last 200,000 years.) Your anxiety is something else, wow.

There’s no way they know what they’re doing, digitally speaking. The background checks of current and prospective federal employees weren’t secured. The government is taking so long to fix that (old!) problem that the agency in charge of it may soon be eliminated before ever finishing the job. The incompetence is…

Has any journalist ever said or wrote “underage man”? Seems like society agrees that the phrase would be a contradiction.

Um, we literally used to sterilize people for that reason. Check out the NPR series “G” for horrifying stories about abuse. No rational people agree with you.

Please come to my “sex reveal party.” (I promise it’s not an orgy.)

She gave her own perspective. Her child is in elementary school, so it would’ve been creepy and maybe opportunistic for her to speak on her child’s behalf while on camera. (I think parents should generally wait and let their children decide how exposed they want to be in media.) So of course she explained what she…

Isn’t the entirety of the Christian religion based on a 14-year-old girl “immaculately” conceiving a child?

Two brown-eyed people can make a blue-eyed child. You need to consider the eye colors of all four grandparents. If even one grandparent had blue eyes, then that allele would be passed on to the next generation. Either you or your spouse is a “carrier” for blue eyes. This kind of thing is very common.
