When my sister (older, by 4 years or so) would fight, my mom would put us both in time out, in seperate chairs, facing each other, only a few inches apart. It was a devestatingly effective technique.

I... really don’t know how to feel about this name. Have I created something terrible?

And remember, you absolutely must have your infant color-coded at all times no matter what, so that complete strangers can tell what their genitalia looks like and can therefore get in on the sexist socialization too!

Dependent on having access to a legitimate grocery store, not just a burger king and a couple of gas station convenience stores (which is the reality for a surprisingly large number of Americans)

A couple years ago I got myself in a bad place financially, due to a lost job at the most inopportune moment possible. I was on welfare for about two months. What I remember most is how goddamn convoluted and difficult the process was. Applying for and recieving any given type of welfare was like a poorly-written…

If I remember right, ‘Apple’ used to be a word for any generic type of fruit (or even some vegetables) in a number of different European languages- hence why the French term for potato is “pomme de terre” (literally dirt-apple,) or why pineapple is a word in English for a fruit that looks vaguely like a pinecone. I’m…

Well that’s really just your loss.

I really like the image of a secret service agent with his hand up to his earpiece, talking into a microphone “That Jackass has left the building, and is en route. Repeat, That Jackass es en route.”

I’d vote for Bilbo in a heartbeat.

You don’t really even need to do that, if you don’t mind your dehydrated corn syrup solids being off-brand:

For celebrities, attention and money are basically interchangable. Donald Trump is well aware of that old saying about there being no such thing as bad publicity. He’s near-universally hated, and a national disgrace, but he’s also making so much money that it’s significant even for someone as rich as he is. He’ll have…

The problem isn’t really a lack of discipline, the problem is “no raping” isn’t a part of the discipline. It’s a rule, but it’s only in the last few years that there’s been any effort whatsoever to enforce it, and it’s still not nearly enough.

In continued fairness, I can imagine several possible explanations for what’s going on here, but I can’t imagine any that would change the story much. The reason this happened is because Tim Foster is a crazy asshole. The details surrounding his crazy assholery are just that: details. Whether he was a crazy asshole…

It kinda sounds like the “alcohol, drug use, and misogyny” accusation was a knee-jerk reaction to hearing the word ‘rap,’ regardless of either context or specific details.

I dream of a world where MRA rageflailing is intentionally used as an unwitting advertising medium. Like, some marketing intern is paid to troll around in the stankier corners of 4chan and reddit, trying to get the MRA crowd riled up to protest the movie, with the knowledge that a big enough MRA protest will get…

Right? Most of his movies are the same goofy, kinda grindhousey revenge fantasy plot, with the [insert oppressed class] victim swapped with another oppressed class. I’ve seen most of them. I’ve even enjoyed them when I’m in the right mood. I’d even say he has a distinct style that borders on ‘interesting’ at times.…

In general, or in specific reference to Mel Gibson? Yes, and Hell Yes, respectively.

Yes, it would. It would be pretty stupid, but it would also be entirely constitutional. Since the constitution doesn’t forbid governments at any level from passing stupid laws, the two are very, very far from being mutually exclusive.

Can we start some kind of petition to get the confederate memorial torn down and replaced with a whole bunch of monuments to a whole bunch of black civil rights activists? Honestly, seeing these people angry is fucking hilarious, so why not go for ‘all out blue-in-the-face incoherent rage?’

Have you not been paying attention to CNN lately? In fact, have you not watched more than two minutes of CNN at any point in the last five years or so? This is what they do. This isn’t even ‘par for the course’ for them, this is honestly pretty low on the sliding scale of CNN stupidity. Because CNN desperately wishes…
