I’ll never forget the time in high school when this conservative boy decided to get under my skin by telling me he couldn’t see a reason why trees are so important. It worked. He’s still under my skin because there are actually people who are that selfish and short-sighted.

The “own animals” piece is, as I’m discovering as I look for a purebreed dog to do a specific service job, a major concern troll rallying point for insane margin conservatives. Some of these people apparently believe that their right to own pets is actually in jeopardy. It’s INSANE.

Hey - with all due respect - fuck you. To suggest that the millions of kids who can’t even vote, that the people of color who certainly aren’t going to vote for him but will still become even more vulnerable when he wins, are somehow deserving of him...maybe you’re part of the problem? Have you stopped to consider…

Yep. I am almost more angry at this point with the people who act like it will never happen than I am with him. Does no one remember 2000? I mean seriously. Liberals in America should never, ever be blaze and smug.

It’s Mennonite, I believe. They have a church in my old neighborhood. Must think very highly of themselves.

I’m not keen on the term “creepy loser” being used to describe me, Pippa, but sometimes life is more pleasant if we just play the cards we’re dealt.

pretty much all of the men i’ve ever had sex with are “that guy” - i wish i only knew one.

I love animated blockbuster Mad Libs. They’re so easy. You just pick a plural noun and build an entire movie on it.

Yaaaas now this is the kind of bread and circuses I can get behind

“Are you asking me on a DATE?”

I thought that was Tom Hanks?

This is an excellent point and I hope people start taking it seriously. Trump’s campaign turned around nearly the INSTANT Alies got on board.

Alies is a genius. Evil geniuses are still geniuses.

Get people who are still all like “haha no way! He’s never going to win” to AT THE VERY LEAST keep that shit to themselves. If they won’t change their minds and join reality, the least they can do is to keep their mouths shut until the election is over.

That’s not really true in either case - if you give a person with an eating disorder unending access to the tools they need to engage in that disorder, you are playing a part in their self destruction. If you give a suicidal person easy access to the means to achieve a quick and painless death, you are playing a part…

For me, either - I’m an introvert who works from home. I stay inside for days at a time. Sometimes I manage to do all my socializing and shopping etc for an entire week without putting on real clothes - I just have friends come over and order grocery delivery.

he strikes me as the kind of dude who thinks that five minutes of attention to something other than his own orgasm is downright heroic

I am celibate rather than asexual but I still eagerly await the first celebrity to come out as ace.

I think about that word “capable” a lot in these situations. I have a history of depression and impulse control with violence and have been terrified to even babysit my nephew at points. But I’ve always been able to talk to someone about it - my therapist, friends, even my brother, the kid’s father. Just giving voice…

So glad we have guardians of the truth out there to let us know What’s Up. Without you, no one could possibly have known that this segment of a major awards show was scripted. And bonus appreciation for your ever-so-subtle point about a black woman only getting to speak because white heroes granted her permission. You…
