  1. This is why I will vote for that man for President.
  2. Yeah, you've described the right-wing narrative. They think the moment a kid says, "I think I'm trans" that a surgeon appears for gender reassignment surgery. It's so ignorant and absurd. As with almost every issue, there's much more depth and a lot of nuance. The public can't know every trans person's history. I would be willing to assume that a huge percentage of them receive gobs of treatment of one kind or another. And they certainly do if they seek medical treatment like hormones or surgery. To do otherwise would be medically unethical and probably malpractice. Are there unethical doctors out there committing malpractice? It's probably happened, but far, far from the rule.
  3. I've had a similar experience to Willfully. My BIL has a trans kid. They live far away, so I haven't been around them that much to really have a strong idea of why it happened. From my limited view, the kid was very normal growing up. It appeared to me to be a confusion/attention-seeking thing. But again, what do I know? I agree with Goredho that there does seem to be more GD now, but it's possible that with growing acceptance that more people are being outwardly honest because they feel a bit more comfortable and empowered. It could also be that external influences, like online shit, are confusing kids or causing more kids to believe they are trans. It could be a little bit of both.
  4. This post actually took my breath away. Zeus, do you know what else all of those people have in common? THEY ARE MENTALLY ILL!!! I don't know how to tell you this nicely, but you are wrong about everything.
  5. Oh, God. Please don't be true.
  6. State takeover of equity in private companies? I did not have that on my bingo card. I mean, I shredded my bingo card a long time ago, but this was not on it.
  7. I bet she can suck a golf ball through a garden hose, though.
  8. I found the audio of this video extremely funny. Driver: "He's gonna hit him. Motherfucker, here we go! Gotdammit." Passenger: "Got-dayum."
  9. Get a longer line on that bucket. Geez.
  10. Abrego Garcia released. https://apnews.com/article/abrego-garcia-jail-release-deportation-trial-6eb8e95da3bfb7b7ed89dc156702b295 Here's AG Bimbo saying he'll never come back to the U.S.: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rp_XbX8c998
  11. In Calgary, at least in the early 90's, you could ride the bottom section of the luge track on the actual sled. I thought for sure it would be slow and safe. Nope. You are hauling ass, going up high on the curves of the track. It was dangerous AF. One of the people I was with, the older sister of my girlfriend, went ass over teakettle and got all bruised and scraped up.
  12. I guess I have to say it, "Is this real?" How has this not been on the front page of every major newspaper in the world?
  13. Next to Roger Stone, she looks the most like a cartoon villain.
  14. Last night it hailed at our house. I hollered to my boys, "Hey, boys, it's hailing! Come look at all of the ice on the ground!" My wife: "How is this possible? It's August!"
  15. Mr. and Mrs. Wong had a baby. The baby had no Asian features and appeared to be half Caucasian. The doctor to the dad, "You know, two Wongs don't make a white." I'll be here all week, folks.
  16. I'm not really a selfish, insensitive asshole and bad husband/father. I just play one on the internet.
  17. It's a scene straight out of Idiocracy.
  18. There's been an ongoing topic that carries a little bit of conflict in my marriage. My wife wants to go on a cruise; I hate cruises. I've actually never been on one. I'm just pretty sure I'd hate it. I like to do my own thing, I don't like gluttony and I don't like being around a bunch of fat people. Anyway, my wife and I know where we both stand on the subject of cruises. Stupidly, for my MIL's birthday, my wife's "gift" to her mom was a trip. "Trip" was totally undefined, though my wife suggested the MIL's hometown. MIL was like, "Fuck that. Why would I want to go back there!" I LOLed to myself. But that morphed into my wife coming up with alternatives, one of which was a cruise. I was like, "Fine. Go. Good for you. But I'm not going." It got complicated where kids were going, which meant I would be the only one in my family not there (and not available to help with the kids). I was just like, "Hey, tough titty. I'm happy for you and the kids to go and I'm happy to pay for it, but I'm not going." This conversation happened like 3-4 times. Each one was the same - she'd describe some new wrinkle in the plan and mildly try to convince me to go and I'd tell her, again, I don't like cruises and I don't want to go. Fast forward to our road trip vacation this summer. First couple of hours in the car we're talking, catching up on a bunch of shit. Then she brings up the cruise again. "Hey, you know the cruise with my mom we've been talking about?" Mind you, this is like the fifth time she's brought it up. I responded, "Look, I told you. I'm not going. You and the kids can go. Great. But you know I don't like cruises and I am not going to do it." Her response (she's all pissed off now), "Well, if you would LET ME FINISH, I was going to tell you that plans fell through so it's not happening!" WTF? If the point you are trying to make is that the cruise is off, then A) why are you bringing it up in the first place, and B) you should lead with that, not with the same intro you used in the last four conversations about it where you tried to guilt me and convince me to go on this fucking cruise. We argued about it and it turned into this big fucking fight and she was pissed off at me for the rest of the trip. When we got home we were still fighting. At one point I told her, "Let me give you an example of why this is fucked up. Hey, I wanted to bring up anal sex again." "And then you say, 'I told you! I'm not doing it!!'" "Then I say, 'Well, if you would LET ME FINISH, I was going to tell you that I'm not interested in it anymore!" She was not amused, nor did she concede the point.
  19. Have y'all seen this yet? https://www.espn.com/racing/story/_/id/45918842/indycar-pato-oward-surprised-ice-speedway-slammer-post If I were to write a fictitious story about how maximally tasteless, cruel and bigoted the government could be, I could never have come up with this idea.
  20. Kill it to save it. Hmmmm....
  21. This gif for the 1,000th time.
  22. And they won't get taxed on it, to boot!
