Look, no one is for rape. But that doesn’t mean the nanny state tax-and-spend solution is the answer. A government handout—for law enforcement or otherwise—just, to quote Rep. Paul Ryan, “lulls able-bodied people into lives of complacency and dependency.” All this feminist hand-waving about rape is really just about turning women into victims hooked on federal aid. Real feminists want women to be strong and pick themselves up by their bootstraps, instead of living their lives depending on things like police showing up to your house when you call 911.

I have three words for you women who don’t want rapists breaking into your house: Get. A. Job. That way, you can earn money and pay for a private security firm to guard your house while you sleep. That’s the sort of private enterprise and self-reliance that this country was built on. Government is absolutely terrible at job creation, after all. If they restored those federal funds to Josephine County, where the rape took place, or passed the public safety levy that the patriotic conservative voters rejected, how many cops would they have hired? Ten? Twenty? Even if they hired 100 police officers, that’s fewer jobs created than if every household in the county hired a private security officer to prevent rapists from getting into their houses.

This bullshit article on slate.com got me mad af rn (via queen-of-everything)

……is this real fucking life right now

is this supposed to be satire because you can’t call this satire

(via satanic2chainz)

I’ll give this man a hypothetical that he meant satire (slate?) and say fuck him cause I have heard conversations that mirror this from the many libertarian jerks in my office.

Now I’m no English major, but doesn’t that mean you failed at satire? Isn’t that Poe’s Law? Your satire sucks so hard it’s indistinguishable from real life bullshit?

Following my mention of the CBR poll for “definitive Superman writer” and subsequent impassioned plea that people recognize the contributions of prolific Golden and Silver Age writer Otto Binder, he finished ultimately in fifth place, which is better than I could ever have hoped.

Thanks to everyone who took up the cause and voted.

He finished higher than Alan Moore, that’s hilarious.

Otto Binder created half of the Superman universe. Alan Moore wrote like four stories for the character.

I know, it’s just funny in the context of CBR’s audience. You’d figure he’d get screwed over in relation to people who’d vote Alan Moore just because.

I swear, almost hit a man from another company at work today.

Over 60 year old man stands there with such a slappable, condescending look on him face, tries to get me to do his work for free, and closes it off with a boy.

I need to find a new job where I’m not usually the only person under 40 in the room.

Why NASA is funding a 3D pizza printer
You could argue that the different eras of human history have been defined by a few key innovations. Advancements in agriculture some 10,000 years ago allowed our nomadic ancestors to finally stay put in one place. Alexander Graham Bell and his rivals changed telecommunications forever in the 19th century with the advent of the phone. The Internet’s rise in the ’90s sparked an era of boundless information, and the smartphone in 2007 put that information in the palm of our hands.
All of which is sure be to eclipsed by what could be mankind’s greatest achievement to date. Behold: The 3D pizza printer.

the world is gonna end. there’s nothing more to aspire.
