Eli, you fucker! You made me laugh out loud with that "give a Fauc a cookie" line! I broke my ribs a week ago, so I've been trying incredibly hard not to laugh or sneeze ever since. I'd say that I'll just have to stop listening to you guys for a while while I heal, but I think that would actually suck more than broken ribs. So just remember that every time you do you're job well and make me laugh, you're punching me in the ribs. Don't worry though, it's consensual.

2021-07-08 19:03:32 +0000 UTCMy family was raised in the patriarchal system that you described in the diatribe, Noah. It was basically a how-to for my father to emotionally abuse my mother and us kids. Every time I see that image online, I cringe. I'm just glad I won't be raising my daughter (and any of her potential future siblings) in that same environment.

2021-07-08 13:40:01 +0000 UTCSometimes saying things that should be so blatantly obvious but not explicitly said hits really hard for people, like me, who were child victims forced to forever be silent the same as Noah mentions in the diatribe. It's therapeutic, I suppose. Thank you, Noah.

2021-07-08 12:31:15 +0000 UTCI basically intentionally contradict those ideals specifically because of how much I had to bite my tongue (sometimes to the point of drawing blood) because my dumbass parents were doing dumbass things...

2021-07-08 12:26:57 +0000 UTCThank you for this diatribe. I remember plenty of times when I knew my parents were wrong, but I thought I needed to muster a certain amount of sincere love and unconditional obedience in order to protect myself from spending the afterlife in a lake of fire.

2021-07-08 07:26:19 +0000 UTCI really want you guys to collaborate on a novel involving our dystopia where black market dentures is when you KNOW for the first time, that you ARE in a distopian reality! Stay safe and well, all.
