  1. I tell you this, because it is true: there is a towing company in my city called "Camel Towing".

    To the company owner: this tells me that:

    (1) you allowed a 13-year-old boy (or someone with the mental development of one) to choose the name for your company

    and

    (2) there were no adults in the room to overrule this decision.

    Seriously, you want to alienate half [1] your possible customer base even before they've tried to contact you?

    They shouldn't be successful enough to stay in business. And yet...

    [1] Well, more than half. Any man with a shred of respect for women should also be turned off by this. I sure am.

  2. Seth MacFarlane laughing at the sheer absurdity of 21st-century god-botherers. We’ve got quantum physics and they’re still arguing about talking snakes. Read a damn science book, then get back to us about that 'holy' text. #AtheistLife #Skeptic #GrowUp

  3. CW: USPol flavored shitpost, aikido

    Me: Yeah, so palm slaps to the face is used in some aikido techniques as a distraction to set up the throw or joint lock.

    🌊🚫🟠🇺🇦4everBluePatriot: Your transgender slaps are a distraction from what Drumft is doing to the country with his boyfriend Putin 🙄 #GrowUp #RealPolitics #IStandWithMulder

  4. I get it. I miss being a kid when snow just meant playing in the yard, building a snowman, snowball fights. A parent there to deal with the tough stuff. I don't particularly like being an adult either.

    But I am an adult. And like a fucking adult I know I have to suck it up and do adult things. Wishing for some authoritarian daddy to make me feel small -- and somehow safe again -- is just delusional bullshit.

    - The #psychological dangers of #spiritualized #antiintellectualism

  6. CW: Swearing about idiots.

    Regarding Cyclone Alfred — and any other natural disaster: if you simply 𝙢𝙪𝙨𝙩 put yourself in danger in order to get a first-hand view of the unfolding drama, FFS leave your kids and pets at home!

    Risk your own life? Sure, whatever. Maybe your dependents won't miss you. But risking the lives of children or animals so that you can get a momentary thrill is behaviour that lies far beyond cuntish.

    Grow up, stop thinking of that awesome selfie or viral video, and protect those who rely on you to be sensible in the face of danger.

  7. Starfleet extends our congratulations to Dr. Bashir and Tailor Garak. A reminder to all: love is not a malfunction, but if you’re experiencing uncontrolled whining, please report to Sickbay for immediate treatment. ~Cmdr.
