Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

"The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be."

This is where the two-party system really screws you. It forces people to choose between these huge coalitions of interests.

I mean, what the hell to unregulated capitalism and social conservatism have to do with each other? (I know this is an idealised version of the current Republican platform, which is actually closer to Kleptocracy plus social conservatism.)

I like the sound of instant runoff elections where you vote for more than one candidate. I think it could open things up a bit.

If the advil doesn't kick in soon, I'm probably going to hurl all over my desk. It's so stupid that certain kinds of upper back pain make me pukey. I want a redesign.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

so it makes all this bullshit about protecting the fetuses really about controlling women and denouncing women's sexuality.

Because women are NOT allowed to fuck without consequences! That would be Wrong. And we're certainly NOT allowed to make up our own minds about what to do with our own bodies, because we're apparently too ignorant (read "willful") to just fall in line with that the government (read "patriarchy") says we should do.

Shit, this government doesn't see us as anything more than incubators, and I totally believe that.

Life size chocolate skulls

Alas, poor Yorick; I ate him well, Horatio....

I'd love a chocolate skull, if they weren't mostly white chocolate (not actually chocolate by any stretch of the imagination) and also $143. Yipes!

The New Yorker is getting really angry lately. In a polite way. It's kinda fun.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Because women are NOT allowed to fuck without consequences! That would be Wrong.

This is why I'd like to see a lot more publicity to the "more child support payments" line I've been seeing in certain blogs.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Shit, this government doesn't see us as anything more than incubators, and I totally believe that.

Unless you're Condi Rice. Or Harriet Myers. Or... actually, Bush is known to surround himself with single women who totally suck up to him.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

well, there's some men's civil group that is trying to use Roe v. Wade as basis for equal choices to men; i.e., they can choose whether to support a baby his pregnant partner decides to keep.

I fucking hate people.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

there is something desperately wrong with the brains of people who want that kind of gun.

Doesn't it depend on what the bullets are being shot into? And for what reason?

That's more of a red flag to me than the size of the bullet.

That having been said--I don't get the recreational automatic weapon thing.
