I think there is a certain personality type of fairly intelligent and perceptive person who goes through a phase in their life lasting maybe a decade, from about age 15 to age 25 or so, in which they realize that many people and many institutions of society are hypocritical and corrupt. But instead of continuing a… Read more
That is horrifying. I’ve always realized that the Gang are horrible people who destroy peoples lives. That’s why the show can get away with a lot of offensive jokes, the protagonists are always the but of the jokes. Read more
One of the primary criticisms leveled against Rick And Morty fans is that they mistakenly valorize Rick as a sort of uber-nerd, a shit-talking asshole who’s too smart to abide by normal social rules. Rick is always right, and when he isn’t, he still comes out on top, probably with a catchphrase and an episode-ending… Read more
If there are women who have interests similar to theirs but women still don’t want to have anything to do with them, then maybe there is another reason that women don’t want to have anything to do with them.

Why the fuck is it impossible for these gutless fucks to let women do anything nerdy or nerd-adjacent without being harassed Read more
I sometimes have a partner at work and she was thoroughly engrossed in her computer most of the day yesterday: gasping, yelling “NO!” and just having general outbursts. Finally after a few hours, she pulls her headphones off, and sighs. I asked what she was watching and she told me American Vandal. And I said, “Oh,… Read more
There’s a reason black trans women’s life expectancy is something like 36. Those women go through it. Read more
I see it where I work (gas station) constantly. Black women are continuously harassed. It’s something white women don’t experience to the same degree. Even while pregnant, and I’ve heard this on multiple occasions, “I’ll give that baby some food.” Read more
Black women are always at the forefront of everything Black and take all of the beatings and then have to come to their homes and worry about Black men harming them as well. It’s a damn shame and us Black men can’t help elevate the Black community without elevating Black women and LGBT people. Read more

Why is talking about the reality of what Black women face anti-Black male? We are always told we’re being divisive when we talk about what’s going on. It’s a great way to silence us and nothing has to change. This has nothing to do with white people and what they want. Read more
You know which group is playing the game of life on hardcore settings? Black transwomen. Those women get the knocks from every direction. I wish I had half their strength of character and sense of self. I do wish that indeed. I’m glad that I don’t need it though, that I have enough privilege to duck out on most of the… Read more

The fact is if Subway would have done the right thing and turned him in he would of been charged with the crimes he committed and she would not have continued the relationship with the piece of shift. It’s not really a matter of telling her. It was a matter of turning him in instead of covering for him. In case you… Read more
They didn’t choose “advertising over ethics,” they chose “advertising over the felony of pedophilia.” This is far beyond the gray area of moral principles. There was a very clear law that was being broken and they were not only aware of it but helped cover it up. That makes them complicit.

I just... don’t get it. Does Jared hold a patent on the $5 Combo Deal or something? What is the point of trying to go to bat for this guy? What does he bring to the business that is so vital that you’d risk covering up a crime so universally abhorrent and repulsive?
