Trump is “absolutely” immune for “official acts” on Jan 6th, SCOTUS rules
  • What a power move that could be.

    "Currently, any act, no matter how illegal, is available to me without repercussions due to this Supreme Court decision. So I am going to fix that. I would like an amendment to be put forth explicitly stating as much, and also would like to have an amendment put in place to establish ethical rules for the Supreme Court and an enforcement method for it. Keep in mind, currently any action I consider part of my duties, including... removing... legislators who vote against Democracy itself, until I have enough of a majority of whoever is left t9 accomplish the same goal. Before that, though, I would like a voting reform to establish rules across the nation to maximize voter participation and remove gerrymandering and other systems to diminish the voting power of any group."

  • yikes rule
  • I feel like George R.R. Martin was doing that with incest. Starts out with shocking incest between twins, and then spend a bunch of books getting you used to the idea until you find yourself reluctantly cheering for a dude hooking up with his aunt.

  • Make it stop.
  • The amount of people with no kids that have strong opinions about how children should be raised is like the people with no uteruses that have strong feelings about abortion and pregnancy, or white college kids who have strong opinions about what words and phrases should be offensive to minorities. There's nothing wrong with having an opinion, but the arrogance to think they have something to contribute to that conversation is exhausting.

  • Anon is a test subject
  • I can't find the scene, but Supernaturalhad a scene like that. Sam had recently gotten back from Hell, and he got hurt pretty bad (forgot how, but something like a broken rib or gunshot wound), and a doctor asked him what his pain level was, with 1 being barely noticeable to 10 being the worst pain he ever experienced. He stares off into the distance and says something like "3."

  • Pride wins!
  • It does make me a little uncomfortable to see intimate displays of affection in public. It doesn't matter if it's straight or gay or whatever.

    That obviously should have no effect on them. I have gotten comfortable with the discomfort, which is what people should generally do. It's not their problem to deal with, it's mine.

  • Anon dislikes reddit
  • "I posted incorrect information and then people downvoted it, so now people can't see the incorrect information I posted! This site is horrible!"

    Sounds like it's working as advertised. Don't post incorrect info if you don't like downvvotes. Upvotes mean "more people should read this." Why do people need to read you being wrong? How is that a good contribution?

  • Couple drowns in rip current while on vacation with their kids in Florida
  • Think of it like a river. If you were getting washed away down a river, would you try to save yourself by swimming up river to where you were? No, you swim to the bank and make your way back from there.

    A rip current is just a river in the ocean.

  • What's your "back pocket" wish?
  • Here's your monkey's paw.

    Time goes on, and you overcome a lot of those anxieties with age. You get married, start a great job, buy a house, have a couple kids, and generally start feeling comfortable with life.

    Then in a flash you are back in your high school head, knowing that no matter what you do, you'll never get the mix of circumstances just right to do it again, which means at best your kids cease to exist and at worst, you lose everything that gave your life meaning. And you can't share that pain with anyone. And on top of that, you're now mentally a 45-year-old in a teenagers body, and rather than feeling attraction to your peers, they now look like children to you. You're full of confidence, but any attempt to use that confidence feels like taking advantage of a child (even though you are physically the same age).

    I think of that, because your wish is a horror story for me. Whenever it's brought up, I think no amount of getting in on the ground floor of k-cups stock or bitcoin, no preventing catastrophes, nothing I could do would make me feel it was worth losing my kids. And worse, making them never exist.

    By the way, mine is "I wish for a blowjob." I've got what I need. But I'll always take a blow job (FROM MY WIFE, TO BE CLEAR).
