And you should never, EVER, want to be someone’s 1st bad bįtçh.
the extent to which so many men are sex pests is just baffling and depressing
you can just Not Do That

Sour and/or bitter things are better than sweet things
Sweet tea is too sweet. I know it's in the name, but it tastes like tea-flavored sugar water
Ketchup is just BBQ sauce that didn't stick the landing. It is tomato baby food puree but somehow worse than most baby food (baby food pears still slap, though)

The devil can cite Scripture for his purpose.
I’m not saying Donald Trump is the devil…

Can't they all go back to infighting and stop bothering the rest of us?
I .. I have to go look up a thing. *inches toward Wikipedia*
Genuine question: didn't white supremacists used to target Catholics? I could've sworn the KKK used to go after Catholics as well. When did white supremacy stop being WASP-only?

That's why I always end up going to the local Unitarian church. All of the potlucks, none of the hellfire
