So I assume you believe there’s no god.
Which means you probably believe in evolution.
So then how do you justify your actions?
Explain to me how it is scientifically and evolutionary permissible to be homosexual or transgender.
I honestly want to know.
Dear OP,
I do believe you’ve already gotten the hint from my...

Depression is not a synonym for being sad or having a bad day/bad week.

I feel like people should realize that it’s a natural thing, which is not to say I’m not guilty of nerves too. Never done it, and it intimidates me a lot. But it’s natural.

“It’s Okay to be Neither,” By Melissa Bollow Tempel
Alie arrived at our 1st-grade classroom wearing a sweatshirt with a hood. I asked her to take off her hood, and she refused. I thought she was just being difficult and ignored it. After breakfast we got in line for art, and I noticed that she still had not removed her hood. When we arrived at the art room, I said:...

A PSA About Asexuality and Aromanticism
outlawroad:
Dear World,
Please take note of the following facts about asexual and aromantic people.
——
Asexuality is an orientation based on the lack of sexual attraction to other humans beings.
This means asexual people never look at other human beings and experience an arousal response or a desire to have sex with them.
That is all it means.
Some asexual people still have a sex drive and...

I’m a guy, and I need feminism. Not “men’s rights.” Feminism. Here is why.

The Problem With The Big Bang Theory...
butmyopinionisright:
I’ve been meaning to post something about The Big Bang Theory for a while now but it’s taken me ‘till now to really understand what it is about the show that makes me uncomfortable. I’m not exactly a believer in the whole “only write about the things you like, don’t trash the things you don’t” trend which seems to be plaguing comments sections in negative articles lately,...

How Moffat Ruined Doctor Who For My Little Sister

[DOCTOR WHO SPOILERS AHEAD]
Submitted by holycheeseandcrackers
Right, so, anyone who follows me knows that I am Not A Moffat Fan.
I have absolutely no expectations or high-hopes for the new season of Doctor Who, (he’s put me right off Sherlock, I probably won’t even watch the new season of that), and to be honest, I am exhausted with pointing out his poor writing, his use of queers...

Public humiliation done right.
squishyeeyore:
Took my little sister toy shopping today. After much browsing, she chose a pack of Hot Wheels cars. She wanted to pay so I gave her the money. As we were waiting in line, some dude waiting behind us asks:
“Buying those for your brother?”
My sister gives him a weird look, “No. They’re mine.”
“You sure you want those, sweetheart? Those are for boys.” He says.
Before I can say...

So I’m not going to be able to attend Comic-Con this year, but if there’s anyone out there who’s going…. I’ve got some critical questions.
If you like these questions maybe you can ask them at the Korra panel?

Doctor Who Bechdel Test
badassbadwolf:
There is something called the Bechdel Test. It’s a scale you run movies through to basically see how misogynistic they are. (EDIT: It has been pointed out to me that maybe misogynistic wasn’t the best word to use here. It’s more testing how conscious of female characters they are.)
The test is as follows: 1. It must have at least two named female characters. 2. They must speak to...

Hank: John, If money were no object, what kind of party would you throw and where?
John: If money were no object I wouldn't throw a party.
Hank: I would. I would throw Vidcon!
John: I like to be by myself. Or with my family like...
Hank: No. No, I have a new answer.
John: Ok.
Hank: I would throw a party...on Mars. If money were no object.
John: And then you'd have one day of party and you...
Hank: Just get on the ship and go back.
John: Or die.
Hank: Right, no. You just party.
John: Party 'till you die.
Hank: Everybody just runs on "Uuuuh Partyyyyy".
John: "Blashhh" And then they just burn to death. Within hours.
Hank: Burn?
John: I don't know. What do I know about the...?
Hank: It's cold.
John: Is it cold on Mars?
Hank: It's cold on Mars.
John: Really?
Hank: It's cold on Mars.
John: Really?
Hank: It's cold on Mars.
John: Are you positive?
Hank: Yep.
John: The whole time? All year 'round? Even in the summer?
Hank: It's cold on Mars. Sorry.
John: Even in the, like. Even in August?
Hank: It's cold.
John: Right at the equator?
Hank: It's cold.
John: Right at the Martian equator?
Hank: It's cold.
John: 'cause it's farther from the Earth? It's that why?
Hank: Yes. It's farther from the sun. It has nothing to do with how far it is from Earth.
John: Wait. You're telling me that heat is not produced by Earth? Now everything is being overturned. Next you will tell me that the Earth isn't the center of the universe. Or that six to the fifth power isn't four!
Hank: You're bad at being a nerd.
