I strongly think it's because people can grow up trained to tie their identity to their beliefs and values. Self reflection becomes a direct attack on their identity.

It's spelt with a "u" and no "e" at the end, but sure.

I hope he doesn't die. I hope he's injured critically and bedridden in a hospital with enough brain trauma to need to stay hospitalized but not so much that he's unaware of his situation.

I hope he experiences what I've seen with CON patients so many times before as their family slowly abandons them. It starts out with visits every day, then life gets busy. Next thing you know, it's once a week. Once a month. Holidays only. When they can remember. A few times, even once a year.

Then the outright shame avoidance starts where your family wishes they could forget you exist. They may stop visit all together. All along I wish this man bedridden in the same room the rest of his hopefully long long life, watching reruns of parks and rec and the office. Knowing the family that has abandoned him. Kids that dont visit. A wife who has found someone new.

I hope he lives through all that and is put on suicide watch so he is restrained to his bed and forced to dope up on antidepressants and antipsychotics. And I hope he lives to be 100.

If anime has taught me anything, this guy is about to start a really intense workout regime and is going to lose all his hair.

I loved that movie... Reminded me of shoot-em-up around the same era

"statement headline" + "and here's how you should think" = fuck right the unholy toe fungal hell off.

Same energy as saying "slammed" or "blasted".

Sure it's on opinion piece, but it's indicative of very low quality.

This was my all time favorite phone outright

If the order of events were different, what might we be calling smartphones?

I had this shower thought earlier and I actually wanted to post it in that community. The name I came up with was SmartWalkman, but later I realized that Walkman is Sony specific, so I doubt other companies would’ve gone for that name, but I didn’t want to let this shower thought slip so here I am now asking you guys.

But they occasionally work. Name 1 3rd party candidate that has won the presidential election and shut the fuck up.

And yet it's irrelevant. I have no reason to engage that point, because people immediately being horribly hurt by looming electoral consequences supersedes the importance of long-term systemic change.

Nobody disagrees that systemic change is needed, but it is not the most important or immediate problem.

Not my only idea. I'm actually pretty clever! At this point though it's probably just the best idea innit?

Trumpism Is Devouring the Evangelical Movement ( www.nytimes.com )

Tim Alberta’s recent book about the Christian nationalist takeover of American evangelicalism, “The Kingdom, the Power, and the Glory,” is full of preachers and activists on the religious right expressing sheepish second thoughts about their prostration before Donald Trump. Robert Jeffress, the senior pastor at First...

I'm frustrated at myself for laughing as hard as I did
