  • So disheartening. There was never a good reason for this to be an issue in the first place.

  • I move that covering the license plate with LOL becomes the new standard

  • “Birds with mirrors is our cages” is a beautiful analogy - much more beautiful than this soulless idea deserves.

  • When I read the headline, I hoped this was from The Onion. Disappointed (but not surprised) that it isn’t.

  • You can't hate yourself into being a better person (I've tried).

    This sentence alone is god-tier advice. Granted, some people don’t need it, but the people who do REALLY need it!

  • Wow. I just came here to read the replies, because I have no advice to offer. OP should print yours out. It’s fantastic.

  • I saw season one as kind of passing the torch anyway. If he didn’t appear in season two, the show would be just fine without him.

    I’m a Hawkeye fan, not a Renner fan.

  • It might finally wake up some of those who are skeptical already. Unfortunately, several media outlets would portray them as domestic terrorists. The Trump administration would refuse to provide evidence, and ignore any court orders ruling that they do so.

    Fox News would call them “traitors”. At least some of them would have their personal information mysteriously leaked. Homes would be vandalized. Jobs would be lost.

    There would be no consequences. Life would continue as “normal” for most of us.

  • Is he saying that he’s accountable for all his campaign promises? This is only a valid defense he’s equally responsible for everything he campaigned on. Like, for example, lowering the price of groceries. The voters didn’t just sign up for the bad stuff - they signed up for EVERYTHING you promised them, Don.

  • How did the pictures turn out?

  • Five sentences is less than I was imagining. I’ve been glad to see that you’re getting a lot of good, helpful advice. Definitely go with one of those if the problem persists. Good luck!

  • I hate it when a store asks me to donate at the register. I’m probably spending more than I want to anyway, and I’m sure the store has a bigger budget than I do. I’m like “fuck off, stop guilt tripping me, and donate yourself.”

  • Whenever a corporation does something good (for example, make a charitable donation) rest assured it’s been calculated that the positive PR will make it financially worthwhile.

  • First of all, I never use that flavor packet. It’s a ridiculous amount of sodium.

    To keep it quick and easy, I’d use garlic powder and/or chili flakes.

    Edit: pepper, too. Pepper mills are inexpensive, and fresh ground pepper is MUCH better.

  • Rage For The Machine

  • Pathetic.

    Great thread title, though!

  • Rage For The Machine

  • By Trump’s logic, gutting FEMA is a cost-saving move. Why should the federal government pay for this shit?

    Also, it lets him avoid responsibility for climate change. Paying for the effects of climate change would be like admitting that climate change is real, and we certainly can’t have that.

  • This is interesting and all, but I wonder why governments even bother with this stuff when they’re just going to ignore or quibble over the results.

    Just finished watching Station 11 on Max. SOOOOO good!

    I was expecting it to be just another post-apocalyptic drama, and I’ve seen so many mediocre ones that Station 11 wasn’t high on my list. I was very wrong.

    Station 11 was well written, well cast, and interesting (if confusing at times).

    Why is it considered sexist to ask women to smile?

    Just about everyone looks better when they smile. It’s true regardless of gender. I don’t see where sexism enters the equation.

    I feel pretty oblivious. What am I missing?

    Why do some users have green leaves next to their names?

    Is it because of the instance they’re posting from, some kind of “award”, or what?
