If there's such a thing as karma, I'm at a severe deficit due to much dickishness.
Natter 69: Practically names itself.
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.
You're still ahead of the anti-vaxxers.
OMG THIS APPLE BUTTER NEEDS TO BE DONE NOW NOMNOMNOM.
Yipes meara, take care of yourself! No go to Pheonix!
"I realize that you're far too emotionally invested in this to understand that you've reached an incorrect conclusion. However, your incorrect conclusion will result in the deaths of thousands of children and the infirm, so as much sympathy as I have with your dissonance, I have to keep telling you that you're incorrect, and dangerously so."
I love Allyson! Uh, I'd say she's my kind of a dick except I don't think this is a dickish thing to say. It might, however, lead to a dickish reaction in someone else.
except I don't think this is a dickish thing to say.
Neither do I. It might be unpleasant to hear, but it's polite, it's fair, and it's true.
I have pneumonia.
Ack, meara, stay home and get better! Catch up on your television & reading.
Anti-vaxxers make me frothy with rage. They're parasites coasting on the herd immunity, and putting other families' children at risk. And now I will share the Jenny McCarthy Body Count: [link]
I also refrained from pointing out that if she'd contracted Rubella during the time she'd been pregnant, her son might have been born blind, deaf and retarded.
Ayiyi non-logical people make my head hurt.
It might be unpleasant to hear, but it's polite, it's fair, and it's true.
Agreed.
It's a condescending thing to say. The reality is that she probably has been researching for a thousand hours or more. But she couldn't be using the scientific method, and is of course up to her ears in confirmation bias. What she's basically doing is trying to prove to people that the sun does not exist by not ever looking up and telling others to keep their heads down. It's. Right. Fucking. There. And even if you tackled her and made her look up, she'd claim it was some sort of vast conspiracy kind of illusion paid for by the pro-solar lobby and not something that is just there, and always was.
It's fucking infuriating.
At least the leaves really do have an end?
I have water oaks, which are "tardily deciduous" and semi-evergreen in the South. This means they lose their small, unrakeable and possibly evil leaves from September to March.
Dear Sister Cow: Police do have a sense of humor, but not on duty.
The antivaxxers don't seem to hesitate from spreading their craziness everywhere. I say go forth and interact. I probably would not take her on, either, but I frequently wish I was more of a dick.
OMG THIS APPLE BUTTER NEEDS TO BE DONE
Go ahead and eat some. It's applesauce.
