  • You know when a young child gets mad about the inherent injustice of bath time, so they pack a suitcase with their stuffed animal and a juice box and tell you they are running away from home? Like, you want to address their concerns, but they have so completely overestimated their own capabilities that you can’t help but feel patronizing. They even made a little model rocket.


  • No. I live in PA, and we have a similar law. I remember before it was passed, and seeing buggies with just the reflectors.

    Close up, directly in front of lights, you can see reflectors fine, but your lights aren’t always pointing at them. Maybe it’s a curve or a hill, maybe they are approaching an intersection, but flashing lights can be seen from all angles.

    Also, most Amish have no problem using modern technology when required. It’s not like a pathological fear, it’s a religious devotion to self-reliance. They use cell phones and power tools when they need to, and they hire “English” (non-Amish) to drive them in cars. Some are more insular than others, and they rarely get involved in politics, so they mostly just do whatever is required.


  • Shaggy with his “It Wasn’t Me” bullshit always rubbed me the wrong way. “My girl caught me fucking another woman.” Gaslight that bitch. “She was staring at me balls-deep in our neighbor on the floor of our bathroom.” Gaslight that bitch. “No, really, she was standing there watching us both, buck-ass naked. She never took her eyes off me. She knows what I look like. She knows our neighbor lady. I can’t believe I forgot that she has a key to my place, and she just walked in on us mid-coitus in the shower. I’m telling you, she’s not a fucking moron.” Gaslight that bitch.




  • My kids are 9 and 11. If they ask for something I want them to have, I get it for them. If they ask for something I don’t want them to have, I don’t get it for them.

    They’re smart for their age, but they’re kids.

    I think you’re torturing the metaphor a bit much. I just meant I don’t believe that Harris is going to listen to progressives on Israel. I wish she would, and I’m going to vote for her regardless because Trump would be far worse. But to say “Harris is listening” feels like an attempt to placate reasonable people who don’t want to support a genocide.
