Yeah people act like Joe Biden is going to personally show up at their house, kick them in the nuts, and take a sledgehammer to the stove. I mean, I'd pay to see that, but it's really just various levels of government saying, "Hey, breathing this stuff in isn't great for your brains, here are some financial incentives if you want to replace your stove." The reality is kind of boring.

Oh nooo eating plants and riding bikes and recycling and not using stoves that give you memory loss! What a terrible world that would be.

I haven't seen it but I also want Meta and everything to do with it to die in a fire, so I kind of wish I had so I could express that feeling to the shills. Mark Zuckerberg has singlehandedly made the world a significantly worse place. It'd almost be impressive if it wasn't so depressing.

Green, purple, brown. I don't really like to cook, but pizza has a lot of variations so that would be nice. Talking to cats would just be kinda cool, and $20 is $20. I'm ace, prefer water, and have estrogen 3 of them would be a total waste, and the others just aren't my thing.

Ooh the fundies get mad mad when anyone suggests that perhaps the KJV isn't the only, or even best, version. And it's always the ones who post their dumb Bible journaling where they've highlighted all but like, 3 words. Bitch, you didn't read all that. You would've known what to actually highlight if you did.

Nope, you're not the boss of meeee.

I'm gonna put butter on them and you can't stop me. Damn, I wish I had a sleeve of saltines.

I mean, they don't give you that option if you need anything more than the most basic stuff. I used it for a long time and qualified for the free one, but the second I needed one extra form for something to do with school, they wanted like $50. And of course they wait until the end to reveal that so you've already done all the work.

Ruby Franke is Mormon, but the rest of the people I was talking about are evangelical Christians. The Pearls, who wrote the instruction manual on child abuse are Baptist. I don't give a shit what the Bible says about it, because neither do any of these people. And you can't no true scotsman when there are millions of them.

I hated Seinfeld and hated it more than I might have otherwise because it felt like everyone else loved it SO MUCH and wouldn't shut up about it. But damn dude. This is a lot of feelings about a show that sucked decades ago.

There are many, many Christians who abuse their kids under the guise of godliness. Ever heard of "To Train Up a Child"? It's a whole book about how to properly abuse your child to turn them into a mindless, obedient slave. They start hitting them as infants for showing curiosity. There are popular Christian influencers who have openly spoken about the ways they "discipline" their kids - one said her husband "doesn't know his own strength" with their kids. Aka he's beaten the shit out of them more than once. Sure, Ruby Franke turned it up to 11, but she and her husband routinely abused their children and were public about it for years, and plenty of people saw no problem with it and continued to consume their content.

I'd argue it's not mental illness, it's the natural consequence of practicing a branch of Christianity that doesn't see children as people, just little trophies who aren't meant to have any personality, needs, or wants. They're supposed to parrot everything their parents believe and otherwise not be seen or heard.

Add it to the list of reasons he sucks.

I'm not cheering it, I just don't feel particularly bad about it. She made a bad, really stupid choice when she absolutely didn't need to drive anywhere, and it's just fortunate that no one else was hurt.

Welp, better that than killing someone else driving while blackout drunk. I have a real hard time feeling sorry for a rich person who had plenty of other options than driving (to be clear, everyone has at least one other option than driving drunk, but she had plenty of them) who died from their own shitty choices.

Wow, how dare you. Everyone knows it's not really rape if you force the child to marry you afterward.

Remember when we thought John Boehner was the most orange shithead in the Republican party? And then Trump was like, "hold my Adderall."

True. A lot of sauces are the best in leftovers, but every time, I'm like, "no, this doesn't taste right, it's not good, mom taste it and help me," and then she's like, "yeah dummy, it's been on the stove for 5 minutes, give it some time." I'm not patient.

Couldn't tell you. Every time I make something really good that's worth repeating, the recipe is immediately wiped from my mind forever. It's like some monkey's paw curse that I can only make the thing the most delicious way once.

Also, butter.

I don't disagree. Ultimately it's the fault of companies who expect drivers to do way too much to do it well. Having them waste time on a picture is incredibly stupid when a lot of times all it does is prove the delivered to the wrong place. It feels like the kind of thing thought up by upper management with no idea what the actual day to day of the job is like.

Based on the number of photos people post on Nextdoor of their package at a totally different house, I'm not sure why these companies bother. Maybe they could train drivers to actually use their brains to see if they're at the right place first.
