Are you suggesting that regular high schools teach students how to ‘think like adults’? Because I’m pretty sure that outside of one single ‘how to function as a human being, cook simple foods, and use a washing machine’ class in 7th grade, which wasn’t taken seriously in any way shape or form, and was (I believe)…

Starred because I’m pretty sure that’s exactly what was echoing around in the judge’s empty head. “No need to consider what the li’l lady wants. Of course she wants to get married! She is a woman, after all! Don’t they all want to get married more than anything?”

insulting one-liners would be difficult to track down, but some trolls (especially the sort who are obsessive enough to go and commit actual, irl crimes against their targets) write 5000-word screeds. That’s probably where linguistic analysis really shines.

Better yet, prosecutors were literally bullying and downright torturing witnesses into providing evidence against their accused witches. Like Janet Reno, who (allegedly) kept a suspect’s wife stark naked in a suicide watch sell (under constant supervision) for days, and sprayed her with freezing cold water in the…

I once knew a lady who had an anscestor tried as a witch at Salem because she somehow got her laundry whiter than all the other women, when they were all doing their washing at the river.

Pretty sure I went to the same college. I wonder if I know you!

I live near this particular taco bell. I drive by it on my way to work, and I’ve eaten there a few times (though I try to avoid it lately, because they always screwed up my order or gave me a fucking room temperature burrito or some shit.)

I am so here for “sweltering head.”

If I remember right, you can remove some of the filters from a cheap, off-the-shelf webcam and take infrared and/or UV video with it. Even outside of that dedicated infrared cameras (take pictures of your house! See where the construction company skimped on insulation!), and uv cameras (night vision! Security…

The thing is, we wouldn’t need to over-state or mislead to use pro-vaccine scare tactics. Because measles and whooping cough and polio are honest-to-god fucking TERRIFYING. When the other side wants to frighten people, they have to make up bullshit about mercury and autism. If our side wants to frighten people, we can…

I recently realized something terrifying about chicken pox. There’s a vaccine now, so the disease is far, far less common than it used to be. Meaning the kids who don’t get the vaccine probably won’t get chicken pox either, and therefore won’t get the immunity that comes with getting the disease as a child. And that’s…

Buddy, kindly take your fedora and your ugly fucking hate-boner and go back to Reddit. I know your kind. You don’t give half a shit about the lives of lgbt+ people, you’re just happy to have another excuse to justify your massive superiority complex by hating people for what they choose to believe. Look at how smart…

I’d recommend beating him with a stick instead. Who knows, maybe candy will fall out if you smack him hard enough!

Never attribute to malice what could be adequately explained by stupidity.

“The story was published to raise the awareness of one victim’s truth.”

I worked a few summers at a boyscout camp when I was a teenager. We had a birthday song we’d sing in the dining hall any time any of the campers or staff had a birthday. It was sung to the tune of the Volga Boatman song, and had lyrics about ‘well all the other holidays are ruined, and the world is a cold and awful…

Oh my god I remember going there for a birthday once when I was a kid. That song was amazeballs!

Yep. This comes off a little bit like the queen saying “let them eat cake.” I’m not much for violence, but if a bloody revolution happens, it would be well deserved.

He’ll die knowing that he got caught and the entire world unequivocally hates him. The small handful of people who still support him are realizing, one by one, that he’s a monster and he always was. Soon there will be nobody left on his side. Hopefully even his wife quits drinking the coolaid and leaves his sorry ass.

It makes me sad that the court system apparently didn’t factor the years of abuse into her sentencing. A kid who was physically or sexually abused by their parent and kills them typically gets a lighter sentence. A kid who was emotionally abused? Nah, we don’t give a shit.
