  • I actually know pro-lifers. I used to be a pretty ardent one myself. I used to be the sort that believed in no exceptions. Pro-lifers, or a least, a lot of them, don’t see it as a means of controlling women or being detrimental in any way to them. They think they’re helping the unborn and women by preventing abortions. They really do believe that. I’m sorry that you never got to meet any pro-lifers, or at least ones who aren’t misogynistic.

    This is unfortunately true of both sides.

    For example, conservatives think pro- choicers are callous baby-killers who only care about abortion because it allows them to “whore around” without consequences. Liberals on the other hand, think pro-lifers are misogynists who want to ban abortion because banning it will hurt women and because they want to make the country more like The Handmaid’s Tale.










  • If you don’t know what you’re drinking, it’s probably dark roast. Dark roast is like charcoal compared to light roast.

    The coffee most folks use (i.e. Folgers, Maxwell House) is low-quality coffee made in haste to keep the price low enough for folks to be willing to buy it. They only offer darker roasts because disguise the inferior nature of the beans, or rather the inferior process. The unfortunate truth is that good coffee costs more to process because it takes longer to process and most folks don’t want to spend that much on coffee. So, you get what you pay for.
