Personally i blame the lead poisoning

I can’t say I’m surprised. He falls right in the middle of that demographic. I grew up listening to The Mississippi Squirrel and Eric the Awful. I grew up watching The Cosby Show too, and Hercules. Some of the old stuff is still enjoyable, even if the artist isn’t. Not all of it tho. I can’t watch most Kevin Spacey or Mel Gibson movies
- Comment on What's the deal with breakfast in bed? 1 week ago:
My wife has an autoimmune syndrome that makes stairs painful in the morning. I wake up, make coffee, bring her coffee and a snack, and about an hour later when I know she’s awake I bring her breakfast in bed. We eat together and talk about what we’ll do for our respective days, and if there’s anything we need to coordinate for the day that’s when we talk about it. By the time she’s done with that she’s mobile enough to do some stretches and loosen up enough to walk.
As someone else said, coffee for morning breath, eat breakfast, then brush teeth. It’s about being served breakfast as soon as your ready to sit up in bed

It’s a funny song highlighting the hypocrisy of televangelists and, by extension, for-profit religion (even if it’s non-profit according to the IRS, we know they don’t open churches to help people)
- Comment on I always wondered why hotel rooms had bibles 1 week ago:
Would Jesus be political if he came back to Earth/
Have his second home in Palm Springs and try to hide his worth/
Take money from those poor folks, if he came back again/
And admit he’s talked to all those preachers, and say they been a-talkin to him?
Would he wear a pinky ring, would he drive a fancy car/
Would his wife wear pearls and diamonds, would his dressing room have a star?
If he came back tomorrow there’s something I’d like to know/
(Would you tell me) would Jesus wear a Rolex on his television show?

It is indeed very strange
- Comment on YSK about 15 bean soup. 1 month ago:
Just like killing an asshole, I don’t think it’s right, I just understand why it was done (and low-key agree tbh)
Basically
- Is it wrong? Yes
- So I understand why? Yes
- Would I do that in their shoes? Maybe
- Does that make me a hypocrite? Probably, I do lots of wrong things

Honestly, I’m with the mod on this one.

I found a study that disagrees. However the sample size is pretty small

You could say they’re the oddest
- Comment on Should I feel bad that my abuser is suffering? 1 month ago:
Do not hold on to hate. Don’t pay an emotional price on people who don’t care about you
Do not feel guilt about other people suffering the consequences of their own actions. Don’t pay an emotional price on people who don’t care about you
Have empathy for the injustices others face. It helps you let go of hate
You are responsible for how you respond to your environment. They are responsible for themselves. They chose to respond to abuse by abusing others. You can perpetuate that cycle or stop it. Treat them the way you wish to be treated. Do so knowing they owe you a social debt for their abuse, and do not put yourself at risk while treating them with fairness
Do these things and you will be at peace with yourself and others.

Never heard of it, but I use Tri-flow and Houdini liberally. If Ballistol doesn’t leave a residue it’s probably fine

Flex? Have you lived in Corn? It’s course and rough and gets everywhere
It’s just that there are men in No Man’s Land, but the ratio of men to corn makes the label Corn more accurate than No Man’s Land
It’s science

Replace Nomansland with Corn and it’s pretty much spot on

Grief is weird and normal. Glad she’s in relatively good spirits. Sometimes I get The Sads or The Grumpies and don’t know why until I remember. Try to be patient with her and yourself. You sound like a good friend
And remember, grief doesn’t have an expiration date

I lost my dad recently. I fully wept at the honor walk, and again at Dr Robbie’s flashback scene. You know the one

- Comment on Funny how that works 2 months ago:
Unfortunately taxes is how gentrification of neighborhoods removes the poors. If property taxes remember relatively flat for low income property owners they could actually benefit from the equity they put into their homes. Instead of rising with the waters of gentrification they are squeezed out of their home and future benefits of living in an improving neighborhood.

Leaving aside how gross it is, and separate from whether corporations should be the arbiters of morality:
Incest between parent and child, even if the offspring is of legal age of consent, would imply an insurmountable power differential as well as likely grooming. Incest between siblings would depend on the age differential and authority structure of the family. It’s not a case of incest=abuse, but of how likely it could imply abuse. The challenge is nuance. The goal is harm reduction
I understand that for some incest porn is enjoyable, not because they would commit incest themselves, but because incest=forbidden=naughty=sexy. Maybe that’s you? In any case, you asked how violence is implied, and that’s my take
- Comment on Another Google Pixel 6a catches fire after battery-nerfing update 2 months ago:
If the carmaker has a recall on the airbags, and the dealer breaks the instrument cluster in the process of replacing the airbag assembly, you’re goddamn right I’m not paying for the instrument cluster. I don’t care if the car is ten years old. It’s a recall, which means it’s bad design and always was. That is 100% on the mechanic, the manufacturer, and the engineer that designed the instrument cluster to break if the airbag is replaced.
They can fuck right off with that shit
