“The essence of immorality is the tendency to make an exception of myself,” wrote the philosopher Kant

That’s actually a slightly botched Jane Addams quote:

I once heard Father Huntington say that the essence of immorality is the tendency to make an exception of one’s self and I would like to add that to consider one’s self in any wise unlike the rank and file of human life is to walk straight toward the pit of self righteousness.

It sounds like they’re using some sort of didgeridoo sample.

Rearrange the letters in J.D. Vance and you get VADJECAN

Damn, that’s so cool.

I risk a broken arm if my dog sees a squirrel. She’s never even close to catching one, but it sure doesn’t stop her from trying.

Free as in fallin’?

Those are barnacle tongues. If you touch them, they start pulling you up towards their mouth.

You gents have convinced me to click around a bit more. I have my research cut out for me this evening.

Where!? Are you peeping on folks?

Well, yeah, if you’re lucky enough to find an old magazine in the woods, but that doesn’t count, because it’s not usually free otherwise.

Krita was by far the best when I had a Wacom.

wat thang do it do, doe?

Speaking from experience, you have to admit it IS quite rare. Like it’s probably just common enough to raise-up another frustrated, powerless minority. I do have kids, by the way, so it’s not an anti-kid rant.

I only did it once, because I hated the teacher and I guess I thought that would send a message. I was immediately caught and the kid who saw me pocket it kept saying I “liked mouse balls,” so it really backfired pretty spectacularly.

It’s really incredible how timely it is 100 fucking years later.

Just awful. I remember sitting on the couch, friends were over, my ~1-year-old son was sick/feverish but still happily toddling about, came over to me, eyes rolled back, he collapsed backward and was convulsing. I picked him up and was cradling him, sort of yelling at/pleading with him/trying to comfort him? Just panicking basically. Friends called ambulance, I ran outside in barefeet holding him still completely limp. Ugh. There was absolutely no thinking, in that moment, that “this is totally fine and okay/harmless,” even though that was the general response of the various, multiple hospital people.

As a baby, my son went through a period of febrile seizures. Basically, if he got a fever, it could cause him to have seizures. Even after learning what was happening and that it was “harmless,” it was an absolutely chilling/gut-wrenching experience, but the first time was particularly nightmarish.
