I can’t grow a beard. I’ve always wanted a beard, since even before I had my first facial follicle, but when puberty’s song had reached its coda, I was left with the thin and the patchy as opposed to the robust and luxurious. It took time, but I made peace with this genetic reality. So I shave. I don’t impose my…

Yeah, the implied advice here is, “Hey, you know that person you’re romantically interested in? In order to manipulate them into a romantic relationship you should be friends with them first, because this research suggests that pretending to be friends increases your romantic chances.”

You think eating a wrap for lunch is healthy? You are wrong, chump, and I’d love you to fight me about it.

I love that the woman wanted to be a wolf. Wolves are carnivores, and while they can partially subsist on non-meat like roots and berries and insects, their main diet is the flesh of dead animals. Animals deserve not the be tortured and abused, of course, but let’s not pretend that carnivores don’t eat meat. That’s…

Some people like cold. I haven’t seen snow or temperatures below maybe 50°F in years. My boots are suffering from neglect.

“Our kids, our choice”

Good question. Here’s his video from 2014 which I believe answers your question:

Sometimes it’s fun to tinker to get things to work, like building a gaming PC, but you can’t build a gaming phone. I’m aware that there’s more choice involved in Android, like if you want a phone with great speakers or a phone that has an amazing camera or a phone that have removable storage and battery or that has a…

Ugh, “humanism”. If humanism is about equal rights for everyone, why isn’t it called sapientism? I find Sarah Jessica Parker’s attitude to be sapientist. She’s obviously just another Bat’leth-busting Klingon-hater.

Last time I checked, One Million Moms had less than 50,000 members, not all of whom are even moms.

What we understand now to be race came about in Europe under the time of imperialism and colonization. Prior to that, race or categorizations like it were quite different. It’s a new thing. Gender? We have evidence of that going back to the beginning of recorded history and consistently across basically every culture.…

I’m still working through Sense8. Terrific show, nice build-up, interesting characters, slow-reveal of an interesting world, and frankly it’s nice to see people not giving a shit about things like race or gender or orientation or gender identity.

Here’s a guy who made his bones in the 1990s, which was a golden age of comedy in part because of a response to political correctness. Anti-comedy combines with comedy, which is why The Daily Show has been a beacon of comedic excellence for so long, because you can take a look at some of the worst our society has to…

I was just discussing this with someone recently, and I think there’s an important point that’s often missed: you can be an ovaries-to-the-wall feminist and still be completely into cosmetics, cooking and homemaking, raising the kids while the hubby works, wearing dresses, and everything else that falls into…

Threats of violence, rape, and death are not protected as free speech, whether in person or online. Harassment is only protected as free speech within certain very specific contexts. There seems to be this idea that you can say whatever you want, and anything short of that is a violation of the freedom to express…

I just want to see Reed Richards playing some sick jazz on drums.

To this day, whenever someone orders steak and eggs, everyone at the table makes sure to ask if they know it comes with steak.

Is there a word that means angry with something and bored with something all at the same time? Her song is incredibly unremarkable, bland, and whatever the third thesaurus word is for unremarkable, but there’s also the layer of societal gender roles/stereotypes. Not every song needs to be a social statement, but Jesus…

Hunger is the best spice. Don’t have any snack foods in the house, just meals and water. Granted, eventually they’ll be old enough to raid their friends’ kitchens, but for that glorious time between birth and maybe six, they eat what you determine is best.

“Believe me, I have been attacked by militant feminists since I got on Twitter. That’s something I’m used to. Every breed of feminism is attacking every other breed, and every subsection of liberalism is always busy attacking another subsection of liberalism, because god forbid they should all band together and…
