I envy hermits.
I was going to say more, or make a joke, but I don’t have the energy.

So, there’s been a reference to each Doctor’s era in chronological order since The Rings of Akhaten. If this holds true, there should be a mention of Six’s in Nightmare in Silver, and Seven’s in the finale…
Fascinating….

- I don’t really like people very much at all (no shock, that)…but I like you, dear reader. You’re good people. You know who you are. Maybe. Probably.
- I’m not compulsive, but I like having a few rituals in life to ground me. My weekday mornings are the most ritualized times in my life; they are also among my very favorite times. Take from that what you will.
- I haven’t written any fiction, any essays, any anything in almost two years. It hurts; it’s like a chunk has been cut out of me. But, you know. Whatever. I’m old; blah, blah, blah.
- It’s hard for me to separate Moffatt from Smith, so I honestly couldn’t say if it is 11 who is really frakin’ getting on my last nerve or if it’s just the idiot storytelling.
- And now for some unsolicited advice for all of you (a couple of you have already received this): You know what you should do? You should be awesome. Oh. Sorry! My bad. You already ARE awesome.

College Republican meme.
The entire idea that we shouldn’t create laws because criminals don’t adhere to them is ludicrous. See also: anarchy.
Can I just call a time out here to complain about something? Okay, I’ve seen arguments in this form quite a bit on Tumblr and Facebook recently, both espousing liberal and conservative viewpoints on a bunch of different topics (not just gun control/abortion), and they piss me right off.
Arguments like this basically boil down to “If you believe [Thing believed by people on the opposite side of the political spectrum] but not [Parallel thing believed by people on my side of the political spectrum] then you’re a hypocrite because these things are logically equivalent.”
So what’s the problem? The problem is you’re laughing at people for believing A but not B when (in your eyes) they’re logically equivalent. But you believe B but not A. And according to your argument, they’re logically equivalent. Congratulations, you’ve undermined your whole argument.
Take the example above. Replace the grinning republican with a stereotypical hippie. Switch captions around, leaving “Doesn’t believe” at the top. Typical Leftist Commies! Don’t believe outlawing abortions will stop abortion, but believe outlawing guns will stop gun violence! Tee hee! What idiots!
Long story short: If your argument consists of two independent sentences, and reversing the order of those two sentences proves your political opponents’ point, then it’s not a very good argument.
No, my argument was that refusing to create laws making something a crime because we fear the laws won’t be followed by those who typically break laws isn’t a valid reason for not creating laws. You could actually use my argument to support either side of the above—laws prohibiting abortions or laws restricting gun ownership.
And I *do* believe that outlawing abortion would drastically reduce the number of abortions, while simultaneously increasing the number of unwanted children, children who’d grow up abused, children who’d grow up in poverty, and women who would end up dead from trying to resolve their unwanted pregnancies without the benefit of qualified, safe medical care.Hence my desire to keep abortion legal.](http://25.media.tumblr.com/428ccca7eb33d4505e4cbbdbdfb26608/tumblr_mmidk7OeHZ1qzsnxyo1_500.jpg)

We naively thought these South Carolina Republicans really believe what they say about traditional values.
No More Mister Nice Blog (via azspot)
Um, they really do. Y’all just don’t get that to those pigfuckers, traditional values mean keeping women barefoot and pregnant and taking away their rights to vote, own property, or do anything without their menfolk’s say-so.
Uh…is that bigoted of me to say? You’re goddamn right it is. I am bigoted against racists, sexists, and other pieces of human garbage.
Fuck the American Taliban and all its fellow travelers.

Nostalgia is a powerful emotion, and not one that should be easily dismissed or thought irrelevant. Boy Meets World is a television show which gave profound wisdom through the sometimes heartachingly passionate stories in the life of Cory Matthews. Mr. Feeny was more than a mentor to Cory and his friends; he was a father and a friend. This show will always have a place in my heart.
“Lose one friend, lose all friends, lose yourself.”
where’s the .gif where hes a car?
Or, you know, just wait for Girl Meets World to premiere.
