Well you see, part of the prison’s ‘important military mission’ is to constantly, unrelentingly humiliate and torment Chelsea Manning.

I especially love the “Look at how America has such great human rights for gender and sexuality! We’re so much better than them darned muslims!” and “Lets take away basic human rights from sexual and gender minorities! They’re the worst” almost in the same breath. The irony is almost palpable.

I was probably 5 when I first saw the movie. I can’t even fathom how much that particular scene shaped my entire life-long idea of what romance is and what a relationship should be. I bet there are thousands, maybe millions of people who can say the same out there.

Same here. I’ve come to the conclusion that for a significant number of people (including myself) jealousy just... isn’t a thing. I try to imagine what would drive me to say to my wife “no you can’t hang out with that person,” or even “I don’t want you to love or have sex with anyone other than me” and I just can’t. I…

May I suggest “Presidential candidate and half-empty can of store brand cheez whiz that expired in 1992 Donald Trump” for a future article?

I’m pretty sure we could make a solid case that ‘research’ shows that families are better off in courts where the judges aren’t violent, bigoted shitlords.

How much would you bet that this lady runs through her delightful powerpoint presentation at least 4 times a year at the mandatory ‘parents night’ or some such shit?

My wife calls me ‘hubby’ sometimes because she knows it grosses me out. The only defence I have is to call her ‘the old ball’n’ chain’ in return.

I’ve definitely learned to side-eye anyone who uses the word ‘professional’ as a description for behavior more than once or twice a day. Or in any context whatsoever outside of a work environment, ever.

Better yet. Picture what would happen if Target started selling a tshirt “CANCER IS FUN!” printed on it.

There’s a difference between Des Moines and West Des Moines though. Des Moines is a fairly diverse and liberal city. West Des Moines is a conspicously rich and white suburb.

I’d venture a guess that the majority of Americans have at least one daily prescription medication. I’d also guess that nearly all of them carry their pills or other medications in a pill minder or ziploc bag while travelling, and not in the original prescription bottle. This kinda sounds like one of those situations…

Eh, a little bit of it might be the media’s fault, but then there’s Edward Snowden. You know, the guy who actually pretty much was everything any of Hollywood’s ‘noble freedom fighters, exposing the government and telling the truth to the public’ have ever been, but in real life. Most of the reason why people are…

Note the difference between “be an actual feminist” and “claim to be a feminist.” If OP just convinced a million Nice Guys to do research, think about their thoughts, feelings, and actions, and honest-to-god start treating women as real humans and making equality a priority in their lives, well then they’re not ‘Nice…

“16. Must we say it after people sneeze? Even... Muslim people?”

I’m not sure it’s quite that simple though. One or more doctors have said this dude has the mental abilities of a toddler. You’re claiming that this means that the statement is true, and not an assumption. The problem is that doctors make assumptions too. A lot of them, in fact, about questions like this.

So I’ve never been to the museum in question, and I don’t know much about it, but... Doesn’t Britain have enough history of their own? They dig up goddamn Celt and Viking burial sites full of jewelry and armor and rusted old weapons all the time! The British Isles have been inhabited for a mighty long time. Said…

I always thought the temporal prime directive was just an excuse folks from the 29th century to be dickheads.

Yeah, but the final battle between Robo-Dinosaur!Himmler and Gender-SwappedSpacePirate!Winston Churchill would be fucking awesome to witness.

Likewise if the kitchen screws up and the server and/or manager comps you for it. In fact, tip them extra when thhat happens. If your server is trying really hard to cover for someone else’s fuckup, they sure as hell shouldn’t get stiffed over it.
