In re: United: I just heard someone use the phrase "Refused to volunteer." Words, how do they work anyway?

Daddy State Derangement Syndrome

The only thing missing is the beheading of a hostage at the end.

This is what the derangement caused by the militarization of our police looks like. pic.twitter.com/NMNjmtWa5c

Raised Right

It's not so much a dog's poor behavior that bugs the fuck outa me - the dog's being a dog. What grates on the conservative bits of me soul is the human who insists on off-loading some of his responsibility for that dog's behavior onto everybody else. Anybody else actually.

Your dog is not a fashion accessory. And it's not furniture - it's not part of the decor intended to round out some idiotic fantasy image of American family life.

Have some respect for yourself and for your neighbors and for the dog - take the whole thing seriously enough to make the effort to train the dog properly.

You own the dog. You own the responsibility - all of it.

We Knew It Goin' In

Yo, suckers -

He told you who he is. And he told you what he intended to do.  We all told you.

Every time he makes an accusation he's confessing.

Everything he brags about is something he feels inadequate about.

Every time he warns us about some dire result, it's either because that's what he's doing now or what he's threatening to punish us with if we don't do what he says.

Classic Daddy State.
