It would be much, much easier to laugh at these idiots if they weren’t actually hurting their child(ren) and mother. All this makes me do is wonder why there aren’t much swifter repercussions for scumbags who dodge child support payments.

TEN MONTHS? And they’re sending yet another warning letter? Are you kidding me?

Put this shithead in prison. Let him out on work release every day so he can do his full-time shift at Waffle House. Then back to prison. That will be his life until the last kid turns eighteen AND any remaining debt is paid off.

All Ukraine is asking is that we send them what they need to kick invaders out of their country. They’ll do all the hard work themselves. Shut the fuck up and get it done, Johnson.

Until reading this article, I never knew that Musk even had a brother. Considering the press Musk has gotten, though, that probably suits the brother just fine.

Suzy Welch, an NYU business professor, previously said the trend is fuelled by Gen Z’s “strong desire to avoid anxiety at any cost” because they haven’t made hard decisions or done hard things.

Theory: Suzy Welch emerged from a pod as a fully mature adult, and never experienced puberty or high school.

Whatever you choose to do (my vote is to talk to a therapist solo), do it soon. I don’t mean that you should put pressure on yourself and rush things, but that I don’t want you to spend any more time feeling stuck and unhappy.

If/when you talk to your partner about divorce, I expect they’ll promise anything in order to change your mind. Be prepared for the avalanche of bullshit, and don’t believe a word they say. Without you, they’ll actually have to be financially responsible for themselves. That is their real fear.

Edit: don’t second guess yourself when it turns out you’re not 100% right. That’s an impossible standard. Even in the most lopsided cases, the obviously wronged party can still take a tiny amount of blame. Plus (no offense intended) it sounds like it would be pretty easy to get you to feel responsible for things that aren’t actually your fault. Don’t be afraid to be tough.

My sympathies to anyone who has to use reddit because their niche community either doesn’t have enough activity or doesn’t exist at all.

I’m more of a casual user who’s just here for the news and memes, so fortunately I don’t have that problem.

Probably the best line I have read in any article this month:

I drove back and forth to a bookstore job in an ancient Oldsmobile Cutlass Calais so apocalyptically derelict that when I got pulled over for a busted taillight, the lady cop fixed me with sad eyes and asked “Is everything OK with you?”

I’m glad that tired, old trick is getting the skepticism it deserves. Even the slowest among us are realizing that if you’re discussing a non-denominational issue and being called “antisemitic” for it, then maybe the accusation is bullshit. Human rights should not be a religious issue.

Here’s the beginning of the Wikipedia article:

Kiwi Farms, formerly known as CWCki Forums, is a web forum that facilitates the discussion and harassment of online figures and communities. Their targets are often subject to organized group trolling and stalking, as well as doxxing and real-life harassment.

So, it’s an assholefarm.

Although the name originated with one particular site, it looks like the name now applies to any site that serves a similar purpose. Bleah.

Good question. I was only talking about my own personal tastes. I don’t know what would be objectively worthy of defederation, because what you’re talking about is fine.

Well, a few people have already pointed out the nastiest sounding one, so I’ll go with wolfgirl.bar

Pretty sure I’d want eye bleach after that.

I like how the child in the first panel grows up to be the protester in the second panel, and the child in the second panel grows up to be the protester in the third panel.

What I want is a map of the states where owning a raccoon was expressly, specifically made legal. States where the law plainly says that it is legal to own a raccoon.

Loopholes, sloppy legislation, and situations where someone can say “well, it’s not technically against the law” do not count.

I think it’s kinda funny that a comment about understanding contains a typo

“I was told that professor was not okay, Dr. was not okay for me because I didn’t have a Ph.D., but there are lots of people at FLVS who do use Dr., which, coincidentally, is also in violation of the same law I got disciplined for,” Vary said. They were told the other acceptable courtesy titles were Mrs., Ms., or Miss. Using “teacher” was also out of the question.“

“We’re going to refuse every attempt at compromise, and force you to choose between abandoning your principles or your career. Why? Because we’re bastards. Fuck you.”

Serious question, though: how does one pronounce Mx.?

I’m taking her story way too personally to be anything close to neutral. I thought that was clear, but okay.

What an asshole. I’m so glad he’s someone she used to date, rather than is dating.

Look at her face. From my worst moments in the past, I can understand getting carried away and snapping the pic in the heat of the moment. Still, though, how the hell can you look at that pain and sadness, and then send the pic to her without realizing how badly you’ve hurt someone you care about? That was a priceless moment for him to STOP HIMSELF before making things worse, and he just bulldozed right past it. Fuck that guy.

Consider the source

Huh. I wasn’t thinking “racism” at first. I was thinking of child soldiers who were simply too young to know better.

Thank you for the explanation.

“Horror” is way too broad a category to say that you don’t like it. Personally, I’ve found that I’m not a fan of slasher films, or excessive gore (but with good writing, those things aren’t necessarily dealbreakers). I’m all in for a tense, scary supernatural movie. Those are very different films, but they can all be put under the general heading of “horror”.
