At this point, it's not "a few bad apples". Men who are not a part of the problem are the handful of semi-intact apples on top of a barrel of toxic applesauce sludge.

And we don't treat the one life we have like a rigged entrance exam.

My parents were too busy dealing with their own damage to indoctrinate me much at all, for which I am grateful.

This is how far the Onion has to go to sound ridiculous when faced with the actual state of the US government.

Sending tech-bros to prison might be a freebee if the genie has any idea what those billionaire bozos are up to.

I love this plan. I support this plan.

The propaganda mechanism of the USA must be dismantled.

New movies are being based on old movies with little consideration for how culture has evolved in the meantime.

Charlie's Angels was revolutionary when it came out.
It's barely relevant now.

Women are not illogical If you judge them based on how they dress, they will take a long time to go out. If saying "NO" might get them killed, they will appease men they want nothing to do with If you turn marriage into a trap, they will not voluntarily enter into it If you teach that physical intimacy is sinful, they will not want to have sex If you tell them that you will not save them if their pregnancy goes wrong, they will not have kids If their faith community tells them they must be slaves, they will leave

Men claim to be the more logical gender, but are they really? The tantrums men have in public certainly suggest otherwise, as does their visible desperation to remain in positions of power they are clearly not cut out for.

How do you spend a decade making a grifter out to be a messiah and then have the nerve to be offended when he believes you?

Another rule for guns that applies to men: Don't point a gun at anything you aren't willing to destroy (do not incite violence)

They'd "never be able to send anyone back" because the vast majority of the people they're trying to deport haven't done anything to merit deportation.

Why would the government of Iran want to escape? Every move Donald Trump makes seems to improve their position.

Question for the "Absolute Morality" crowd:

If morality were absolute, wouldn't your gods be measured by it?

If morality is handed down by your gods, aren't you just doing what the strongest tell you to do?

Though it would be a logistical and ethical nightmare, I would love to go a few decades where only women could vote.

Guys like this remind me that 80-90% of men could die and humanity would be fine. A fraction of that fraction of women die, and we are done.

Name Four Non-Person Things That Make Your Life Livable:

1. Storytelling in all its forms
2. My cats
3. Virtual building (cities, vehicles, farms, etc.) on my PC
4. Assorted internet soapboxes

If your religion can only continue to exist if it demands the torture of Pre-K children, your Sunday lunch club needs to find a better reason to get together and sing.

This made my morning. A physics lesson from an angel.

Much love to all. Having this soapbox has done a lot to keep me sane.

We need sweeping reforms, and a two party system is never going to reform much of anything. Both sides are pretty much bought and paid for; all that differs is where the money comes from.

Vote Democrat to stem the bleeding, not to actually fix anything.

It is both rare and delightful to see someone asking reasonable clarifying questions instead of steaming into a minefield of buzzwords and bent definitions.

Empire building is an addiction, not a defense. Your citizens occupy the new lands, are threatened, and you "must" expand your borders again.

**hugs**

The problem with anarchy is that anything enough of your neighbors dislikes becomes illegal.

The math doesn't tell stories as well as a piece of string can.

With everything that has happened since 454786's reelection, I think we are in mass grave territory at this point.

I never thought I'd see anything good come out of this war.

Heck, if they blow up enough AI infrastructure, the energy crises of multiple countries might be averted.

April First cannot be over soon enough.

There is absolutely no way to distinguish facts from "fools" right now, and it is not funny.

The country of Israel and its people would have to give up its empire-building and acknowledge that its neighbors - and Palestine - have the same right to exist for that to have any chance of working.

There are two kinds of practical jokes:

Emotional abuse and assault.
