The least likely line ever recorded in a police report

Fred Phelps vs. Weston, MO

Schrodinger's Rapist

I don't think this applies to any of you guys, but it's still too good not to share.

Now, you want to become acquainted with a woman you see in public. The first thing you need to understand is that women are dealing with a set of challenges and concerns that are strange to you, a man. To begin with, we would rather not be killed or otherwise violently assaulted.

“But wait! I don’t want that, either!”

Well, no. But do you think about it all the time? Is preventing violent assault or murder part of your daily routine, rather than merely something you do when you venture into war zones? Because, for women, it is. When I go on a date, I always leave the man’s full name and contact information written next to my computer monitor. This is so the cops can find my body if I go missing. My best friend will call or e-mail me the next morning, and I must answer that call or e-mail before noon-ish, or she begins to worry. If she doesn’t hear from me by three or so, she’ll call the police. My activities after dark are curtailed. Unless I am in a densely-occupied, well-lit space, I won’t go out alone. Even then, I prefer to have a friend or two, or my dogs, with me. Do you follow rules like these?

So when you, a stranger, approach me, I have to ask myself: Will this man rape me?

So. Much. Win.

Portal 2 one ups the Companion Cube. And it is glorious.

This. Right here. It's an excellent statement of the exclusivity of games (and other media), and a general statement on society at large. I felt bad, reading it, from how many of these behaviors I have overlooked, or even been complicit in.

I scored a 2

Both points in self-sufficiency.

Are you a narcissist?

*snerk*

I am laughing so hard right now

My flabber. It is gasted.

This is quite possibly the most epically stupid thing I have ever seen, and it makes me RAEG.

The most relevant part, as the rest merely expands on this:

Utah just became the first state in the U.S. to criminalize miscarriage and punish women for having or seeking an illegal abortion.

Let me repeat that, just so it sinks it.

Utah just became the first state in the U.S. to criminalize miscarriage and punish women for having or seeking an illegal abortion.

criminalize miscarriage

I just. I don't. I can't even.

*facepalm*

People are cowards. That's all I have to say.

The Big Lebowski, as told by William Shakespeare.

[Enter JOSHUA QUINCE and LIAM O’BRIEN]

QUINCE
Hail, masters! I crave thine able readiness
To be dealt with roughly, as the Sodomites.
For men of sport have noted that our play
In semifinal hour draws on apace.
By Jove! I’ll wager well, Liam and me,
To thrash thee soundly at the fair tourney.

THE KNAVE
Yea, well, that be, forsooth, thy opinion, sir.

QUINCE
Well; but be forewarn’d. It reach’d mine ears
That combustible Walter, o’ercome with rage
Did shed good sense, and raise his sword in play.
I fear not such jade’s tricks, an seeing ill,
Would snatch the burden from the jealous knight
And pierce his gizzard with the wrongful steel,
Points up, as said of Coriolanus.

THE KNAVE
Zounds!

QUINCE
Thou speakest rightly, sir. No man misdeals with Joshua Quince, by Jesu.

[Exeunt QUINCE and O’BRIEN]

WALTER
Nay, fear him not, nor his unworthy joys.
Recall the tragic tale of the pageboys.
