  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.

  6. 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

  15. 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.

  20. This is very good answer to the question of what you will be if you grow up. And the best thing is: You still can be outrageously happy when getting older. It's never too late.

    And at least from time to time it will work. It may get better with practice. And sharing.
