I hate "lol r u on ur period" comments so much.
stfusexists: This hilarious segment on the Daily Show got me thinking about how much I truly hate the myth of the hysterical menstruating monster. If you are a woman on the internet, you will get asked that basically any time that it is obvious that you a) are a woman and b) have a strong opinion about something. Not only is it absurdly annoying and dismissive of women being passionate or...

Imminent Iran nuclear threat? A timeline of... →
theamericanbear: Scott Peterson: Breathless predictions that the Islamic Republic will soon be at the brink of nuclear capability, or – worse – acquire an actual nuclear bomb, are not new. For more than quarter of a century Western officials have claimed repeatedly that Iran is close to joining the nuclear club. Such a result is always declared “unacceptable” and a possible reason for...

sarahlee310: novenator: Redditors are well known for posting memes, self-referencing jokes and collecting upvotes and karma. But writing legislation to protect the Internet? That’s something new, and it’s happening at “r/fia,” a Reddit community that’s writing the Free Internet Act, or FIA. […] “We’re aiming to create a piece of legislation that’s international and that promotes...

Beard Compliment Translations
winterlungs: “Wow, that’s a really nice beard you have.” I want to have sex with you.  “Are you working on growing a beard?” I would be extremely attracted to you if you started growing a beard. “I hope you’re planning on growing out your beard for winter.” I would be DTF if you had a winter beard. “Your beard looks good today.” My pants are coming off.

Top Ten Catholic Teachings Santorum Rejects while... →
The right wing Republican politicians who have been denouncing the requirement that female employees have access to birth control as part of their health benefits as an attack on religious freedom completely ignore the church teachings they don’t agree with. Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich are both Catholics, and wear their faith on their sleeves, but they are hypocritical in picking and...
