Actually, that’s amazing. Like even if you believe in these things, the karmic “payback” for trying to do evil with it is paid immediately by being scammed.

I’m in awe of the pylons.

The House here refers to the House of Representatives, not the White House.

I’m not going to get into my history here but I’ve spent years in and out of institutions. If you want to make the argument that this is schizoaffective disorder I won’t stop you, but I assure you that even if that is the case, we are still completely responsible for what we say, and I would argue even moreso because there is zero excuse for him not to be seeking care and treatment.

When grandma has dementia, and spits and bites, she is still responsible for the consequences of her actions. We will treat her with kindness and compassion and health care, but she isn’t absolved of her part in hurting someone. That is the notion I rebel against. You are still responsible for your racism. You are not given a consequence free card because of your illness. Advocating for a consequence free environment is why people can claim Kanye should be forgiven and should not be treated as an intelligent, thinking, feeling human being. I will not allow someone to say he should be. That is dehumanizing and ultimately the opposite of kindness.

I will reiterate that I agreed upon treatment as a necessity. I also believe he deserves a punch. Not a single illness out there makes you a nazi. Not one.

Reminds me of when Ambien said the same thing.

And the above poster who says they need treatment should read this. We are out here. We are mentally ill. Our mental illness, even at its most untreated, doesn’t make us fucking nazis so trying to be “kind” to nazis who happen to be mentally ill makes you an apologist.

Dude does need treatment. He also deserves a punch for the nazi bullshit. The one doesn’t absolve the other.

To add on to other’s stories- my cat will come and hop into my lap 100% of the times I call him, even on another floor, and I didn’t even train him to do this, he just really likes my lap.

Sometimes he does cute stretches on the way to me, or makes mrrps and other sounds to tell me he’s coming (and I assume ask if there might be treats, because one time he mrrp’d and I somehow remembered that there were treats that exact moment like two years ago) but yeah. Cats can come when you call them.

Oops! All Teeth!

This absolutely chaps my ass! I said I don’t want dairy! I love gluten goddammit! Why am I being lumped in with celiacs??

I can’t actually understand this comment at all. I get to “globohomo” and I laugh too hard to read further.

I love this movie but not for the movie, but for the best visual adaptation I thought we would ever get from the book.

She has another series that I adore, the Chrestomanci books. What a talented author!

Oh, no. She died of a broken heart.

Stranger Than Fiction is my favorite movie. I’m so glad to see it on someone’s list!

Agreed, but be advised, it has some very hard episodes, too. Which I actually feel only serves to make it’s positive moments that much more meaningful, but it can definitely pack a wallop.
