Troy: “Lemme ask you something. People been clowning me about this jacket since I got here. But, if I take it off to make them happy, that just makes me weak, right?”
Jeff: “Listen, it doesn’t matter. You lose the jacket to please them, you keep it to piss them off. Either way, it’s for them. That’s what’s weak.”
Troy: “Whoa. You just wrinkled my brain, man.”
Once, years ago when weed wasn’t legal here, my dealer had so much keef he was selling it by the gram.
Holy shit that was good bang for my buck.
If you can someone do it to the CEO’s private jet for his 1,000 mile commute to work a few times a week that’d be cool.
Similar to cops, there’s gonna be big acab type “all religious are assholes” soon if the good apples don’t start taking care of the bad apples.
There are a lot of good religious people out there, from many religions, who aren’t forcing their way of life on others, who spend their time trying to be loving and care for their neighbor. What precisely they’re supposed to do about the “bad apples” of religious people isn’t very clear. I can’t exactly report the Southern Baptist Church to Internal Religious Affairs.
I am not responsible for the views of other religious people. I’m responsible for my own views. I can argue with those who disagree with me, but I cannot force them to stop being controlling assholes.
Maybe, just maybe, making assumptions about people based on associations they may not actually have is a bad idea. Maybe the world is more complicated than that.
US presidential elections aren’t about swaying your base. They’re about swaying very specific swing states.
The electoral college means pushing to the center is the only way for progressives to win an election. Conservatives can generally do what they want, they have an inherent advantage in the electoral college.
Giving up the chance to make small change because you refuse to compromise only means that, within the system we have here, we end up backsliding. Every small improvement is hard won, and giving up means dramatic losses.
It’s a shit system, but it’s the system we currently have to work with.
My grandmother died at a relatively young age of lupus complications and she had to end her whole career at 36 because she was so sick. I'm 27, and I am terrified I'm going to end up like her. Her quality of life was absolutely awful for the entire time I knew her. I don't want that for myself.
Selena Gomez has lupus and Only Murders in the Building, entirely made after her diagnosis, is the best thing she’s done in her career, IMO.
The world has changed. Stay strong, you can do this!
Yeah, very similar but with steel-cut oats instead of cornmeal/flour. I’ve not had scrapple but I understand they’re very similar, both born out of German immigrants trying to stretch meat servings and save money.
