The passage of time is a true trip for all who survive it, in many ways, getting older presents us with the opportunity to live out many different selves. Our face might be innately the same, but the way we dress and feel shifts, and the markers of time accumulate into a series of gradual transitions.

While flipping through family photo albums can feel like stepping into a time machine, seeing the various physical phases of a celebrity can trigger a special kind of pop culture nostalgia. For this very reason, the Instagram account Photo Time Traveling was created to show celebrities hanging out with their younger selves. The results are equally trippy and nostalgic.

Melania Trump invites boy named Trump to the State of the Union as 'anti-bullying' prop. Be best.

0
0

When not vacationing at her country club, First Lady Melania Trump has declared herself to be an advocate for children with her anti-bullying, anti-grammar campaign "Be Best."

Ever the Trump, Melania has found a way to make kids being bullied about herself, using her platform to shine a light on the plight of the most aggressively harassed and targeted minority in the United States: people named Trump.

Sixth-grader Joshua Trump has been invited to attend the State of the Union as an official guest of the president and First Lady, to be a symbol against bullying as the elder Trump likely uses his speech to bully immigrants and Democrats.

"Joshua Trump is a 6th grade student in Wilmington, Delaware. He appreciates science, art, and history. He also loves animals and hopes to pursue a related career in the future," the White House writes in their official statement. "Unfortunately, Joshua has been bullied in school due to his last name."

"They curse at him, they call him an idiot, they call him stupid," his mother told ABC affiliate WBVI.

His parents told The Washington Postthat "they even pulled Joshua out of school for home schooling at one point but decided to enroll him in middle school with the hope that the bullying would decrease. It didn’t."

That is indeed sad, or as the president would say, "Sad!"

While sympathetic to the kid's struggles—middle school frickin' sucks—there are other children being bullied because of Trump, and it's not for their names.

Here are some Great Moments in Bullying History, from a BuzzFeed News report:

On a school bus in San Antonio, Texas, a white eighth-grader said to a Filipino classmate, “You are going to be deported.” In a classroom in Brea, California, a white eighth-grader told a black classmate, “Now that Trump won, you're going to have to go back to Africa, where you belong.” In the hallway of a high school in San Mateo County, California, a white student told two biracial girls to “go back home to whatever country you're from.” In Louisville, Kentucky, a third-grade boy chased a Latina girl around the classroom shouting “Build the wall!” In a stadium parking lot in Jacksonville, Florida, after a high school football game, white students chanted at black students from the opposing school: “Donald Trump! Donald Trump! Donald Trump!”

Making this kid famous is a surefire way to make sure that nobody makes fun of him ever again.

16 people share the most embarrassing ways their bodies betrayed them. Not now, boner.

0

Our bodies do a lot for us, but sometimes they fully betray us.

Between making sure we function and stay alive, sleep, eat, drink water, scroll through social media profiles and online dating apps--it's a lot to juggle. While we might not remember all the daily work our bodies do to maintain balance and health, we definitely remember when our bodies royally f*ck up. Whether it was a period on prom night or food poisoning at a funeral, sometimes we just don't have as much control as we believe.

So when a recent Reddit user asked the internet, "What is the most embarrassing way your body has betrayed you?" people were prepared. You might want to stop eating now...

1. Yikes, "azlaarlives."

Boner at the psychiatrist. Hid it pretty well but it was still towards the end of the session.

2. This is a nightmare, "Kelluthus."

I was sitting on the floor in my cheap wooden condo and let out a huge fart. Dog in the condo below me started barking and I could hear the cute girl who lived there and her visiting parents laughing.

3. Never trust WebMD, "zangor."

Sometimes after the end of a full piss I get this sharp feeling but it goes away pretty quickly.

Web MD say I have -935 years to live.

4. That girl saved you, "silly_jimmies."

In sixth grade I got a boner for no reason and then was asked to go hand something to the teacher. When I stood up this girl that sat near me stared right at my crotch with wide eyes. I'm just thankful she didn't tell anyone or I might not have heard the end of it.

5. This is a good boyfriend, "what_the_a."

I have IBS and get really insanely distended stomach full of gas when I eat certain foods. It looks like there’s a basketball under my skin and it’s all gas. My boyfriend of a year or so knew about my ibs but hadn’t really experienced the worst of it. One day we were hanging out at my apartment and I had my big gas belly. He knew what that meant so I excused myself to my room to try and fart some of it out. He decides to come in to show me something on his phone as I’m laying on my bed with my knees up, trying to coax the gas out. He starts laughing at the sight, I start laughing, I feel an epic release of gas coming and I try to tell him to leave ASAP but I’m also laughing...

Between the laughter and the position I was in, I couldn’t hold it back. I let out the loudest, LONGEST fart in history. At first he laughed I surprise and then as it kept going on and on, his face changed from laughter to surprise to shock mixed with what looked like a twinge of sadness. Watching him go through so many emotions right on his face just made me laugh harder, so the fart just kept going.

After what feels like eternity he steps out of the room, hands over his mouth. He comes back in and the fart is finishing off with a final toot toot toot. He is speechless. The first thing he says is “I feel like i lived 80 years, died, and came back to life again before that fart ended. I just don’t... understand how it was so long and steady. And then it got all Louis Armstrong at the end.”

And that’s how we started calling certain trumpety farts “Louis.” Also we moved in together a few months later so my butt performance didn’t deter him too much.

6. This is tragic, "dogstardust."

On my wedding day..... but not like you’re imagining. Woke up at 6 AM, blew up the toilet, thought it was just nerves. About an hour later the vomiting starts. Then the poop. Then the vomit. Repeat this cycle for a few hours. My friends are thinking, oh she’s just hungover. Hell, I thought it could be that too, I had drank wine the night before but not in my usual quantities and had gone to bed sober as a judge. After awhile we all realize this is bigger than a hangover. My mother finally picks me up off the bathroom floor after a few more hours of the puke-shit-repeat game and drags my ass to urgent care where I burst into tears when they ask what’s wrong. “I’m supposed to get married in three hours and the vomiting and diarrhea just won’t stop!” Ugh. Cringe. So they pump me full of IV fluids and nausea meds. Seems to be helping. I go home and get dressed for my wedding, not so sexy when your mom has to help you into your fancy underwear. BUT WAIT, THERE’S MORE. Here comes the red wave to further ruin my day. I’m in awe at this betrayal. (Also, it starts hailing outside as I’m putting my dress on. Between shitting my brains out and not eating, my dress is now too big and is falling down. And, my wedding is outside.) This is where I just laugh because there’s nothing left to do. My period is especially infuriating because I’ve been prophylactically taking birth control pills for over 3 months so I could purposefully skip my heavy and erratic periods on my wedding day (I have an IUD so I already had birth control and wasn’t relying on the pills for baby blocking). I tell this story to nervous future brides to remind them that your body, and nature for that matter, don’t give a fuck about what day you’ve selected to get married. Luckily my marriage has been much, much better than the wedding but how could it not be?

7. Oh no, " lilithious."

2 hours train ride. I felt the air coming slowly but I held it back until the end.Finally, the next stop was mine, so I stood up and walked to the door, still holding back that, now massive, amount of air in my colon.Just when the doors were about to open, some child stumbled into me from behind. It surprised me so much that I, just for a moment, didn't hold in.The result was the loudest, most disgusting fart you could ever imagine.

I never left the train station faster in my entire life.

8. This is the worst, "KassGunner1989."

when I was in high school by starting a period without any of the usual symptoms and leaving a bloody puddle on the chair and huge stain on my jeans.

9. This is a betrayal, "Spencelia."

Anytime I've finished peeing and get zipped up and a little more pee dribbles out and leaves a little wet pee spot on my pants.

10. Classic anxiety, "Guslinger_11."

Panic attack, nothing was wrong just my heart did not want to be in my chest for some reason.

11. Oh my god, "hyphie."

I peed myself in class. I was wearing a skirt and no tights. I was 17.

It was my first year of college and the lecture lasted 4 hours. I held it as long as I possibly could, until at some point I was 100% certain I would pee myself as soon as I stood up. I couldn't excuse myself to the bathroom because I'd pee myself on the way in front of everybody.

So I stayed. I waited until the other students left, but they didn't. Of course they had questions for the professor, some lingered... I got out, made it out of the classroom miraculously, then as soon as I was out the door I couldn't hold it anymore. I kneeled down on the floor, pretended to look for something in my bag (someone even asked if I was okay), hoping against all hope that no one would notice the puddle at my feet.

I kept pretending to look in my bag for 5 more minutes until everyone was gone, then walked to the nearest bathroom to dry myself as best I could. Then I went home, changed my underwear and dried my skirt and shoes with a hairdryer, because it would look suspicious if I came back with different clothes.

No one ever mentioned it. To this day I wonder if some did see it and avoid talking about it to spare me the embarrassment, or if I somehow managed to hide it.

12. But you were so close, "-eDgAR."

Years ago I was at this music event with a lot of day drinking. As I was leaving I had to pee, but the port-o-potty lines were really long, so I decided to hold it in until I got back to my apartment. The train ride was fine for the most part, but by the time I got to my stop I had to go really bad. Still had a 10 minute walk to my apartment, but I figured I could make it if I just walked really fast. As I reach my front door I get a sense of relief that I made it, but I was really about to burst so I hurried through and ran to the bathroom. I get it and as I'm undoing my zipper, I just cant anymore and start peeing. I was literally standing in front of my toilet and still managed to piss myself. Luckily there was nobody around, but I am still really embarrassed that happened to me.

13. Luckily there are more Targets, "padmespadawan."

I was standing in the checkout line at target getting myself a drink and a little snack because I hadn’t eaten anything yet that day and started feeling kinda crappy because of it. I got in the shortest line and then mom and daughter start talking to the cashier about how something should have been on sale. My hearing starts getting staticky and my vision is getting dark and I’m bracing myself on the conveyor belt just trying to breathe and play it cool. Mom and cashier keep talking about the coupon and I’m thinking to myself “dear god how embarrassing if they have to call an ambulance and I’m taken out of this place on a stretcher, I can never come to this target again”. So they keep talking and I just decide to sit down on the floor because, that’s just what you do. And I’m sitting there with my head on my knees when this manager walks up and in a kind of angry confused tone asks me if I was okay and I stand up and tell her “oh yeah I’m fine” and play it off to avoid drawing any further attention from myself. I check out, take my stuff and sit in my car in a cold sweat and realize I had never fainted before in my life. And that I can never go to that target again.

14. Oh no, "lexijoy."

Took a nap on an airplane. Woke up to discover my period had turned torrential, overflown my extra large cup, through an overnight pad for extra security, and leaked through my jeans. I do not miss my uterus.

15. Moms are true angels, "Astrocytera777."

When attempting to use a tampon for the first time, I pulled it out and the cardboard pinched onto my labia and wouldn't let go; it was horrible and painful and finally my mom had to come cut the stupid thing off of me. Thank god for moms

16. Damn, "HolyOrdersOtaku."

I coughed at work, which made my asshole constrict, which tore open a hemorrhoid, which proceeded to soak blood through my pants. Had to leave early that day.

Friends, exploded asshole isn't fun.

People are calling out this feminist writer for her ‘racist’ take on Marie Kondo.

0
0

While the tone of the show itself is relatively non-confrontational, Netflix's Tidying up with Marie Kondo has drawn all manner of discussion out of the woodwork. Some people love the book its based on AND love the show. Others (like myself) dig the book and find the show immensely boring, still, that is just the tip of the iceberg full of Kondo takes.

The feminist writer and Democratic Socialist Barbara Ehrenreich has come under fire on Twitter for her recent take on Kondo. In a now deleted Tweet, Ehrenreich joked that Kondo's lack of English speaking was a sign of the decline of America.

While she swiftly removed the original tweet following a reasonable amount of backlash, Ehrenreich followed it up with a clarifying tweet that somehow comes off worse.

This follow-up only ignited more fire in Ehrenreich's direction, with people calling her views everything from imperialist and racist, to tacky.

Several people pointed out that they strongly believe the opposite of Ehrenreich, and the concept of Americans listening to Kondo's philosophies opens up a sliver of hope and global understanding during a time of intense nationalism and fascism.

Ehrenreich has since followed up and apologized for how her tweet came off, she even clarified that she has no stakes in the maintenance of the American empire.

People who are actually familiar with Ehrenreich's work were quick to defend her apology and the fact that her statement was largely taken out of the context of who she actually is as a person.

It seems, at the time of writing this, that the conversation is continuing to unfold. Regardless of how it ends, it seems clear that Ehrenreich is reexamining how tone comes across online, and others are reconsidering how they contextualize a single tweet.

25 people share their most petty pet peeves. Hell is other people.

0
0

We all have ridiculous behaviors that fill us with the rage of a thousand boiling suns. In many cases, these behaviors aren't actually that bad in themselves, and our anger is somewhat irrational. But that doesn't stop something as benign as someone slapping their lips loudly after a meal, or singing along with the radio off-tune from spiraling us into a homicidal state.

After all, the world is hard and exhausting, and sometimes it would just be nice if people weren't so annoying.

In a recent Twitter thread the writer Alex Segura prompted his followers to share their most petty pet peeves, and the people delivered.

First though, he kicked it off with a few of his own:

The pet peeves are still rolling in, so it's not too late for you to add your two cents (or whichever amount of cents you have). In the meantime, I've gathered 25 of people's most petty pet peeves to make the rest of us feel less grumpy in comparison.

Mom pens open letter to rude man on flight complaining about her crying toddler.

0
0

Being on an airplane with a crying baby can be a struggle, but it's certainly not as challenging as being the mother of that crying baby in that moment. Listening to a baby cry a few rows behind you is nothing compared to holding and desperately attempting to soothe that baby while simultaneously internalizing the annoyance of every passenger around you. So, perhaps we should give these moms a break when it comes to rolling our eyes at them when they can't control a literal baby's cries.

A mom recently endured having a specific person greet her with hostility when she boarded her flight with her toddler. This person was a man, if you can believe. After the incident, the woman posted to the Facebook Page Momstrositywith an open letter to the man in question. Her post laid out why his behavior was immature and unnecessary, and politely pointed out how he and all people could do better.

The post reads:

To the Gentleman on Flight 1451,

I first noticed you when you sighed loudly as you laid eyes on me and my toddler boarding the plane.

In a momentary lapse of judgement, we sat behind you. It was the nearest set of seats, and I couldn’t wait to put my child and our heavy bags down.

From the over dramatic huffs and puffs you let out as we buckled in, it was clear that you were annoyed by our very presence.

At this point, my little girl was laughing and playing, obviously too loud for your liking.

I wondered if you had a bad day, or if this grouchy temperament was your normal behavior.

I wondered if your wife was embarrassed
as she quietly nodded at your frustrations.

I wondered if you had children of your own.

I wondered a lot about you.
Did you wonder about us?

Did you wonder about this mom and little girl who were flying alone? We were so excited to go on an adventure, but I was also very nervous.

This was the first time that I had ever flown with a child, and I was making half of the trip without my husband.

For weeks, I researched tips for flying with kids.
I packed toys and games and books and downloaded movies.

I dosed up my child with Benadryl, to make sure any leftover traces of sinus infection didn’t make her ears hurt and to help her rest, but it didn’t work. She only slept 20 minutes on a cross country flight.

I did everything in my power to keep her calm and quiet. I shushed her, and made sure her little feet didn’t kick your seat.

As we took off, her tears started.
The kicking and the screaming tantrums came on fast.

She had been up since early morning.
She hadn’t eaten much because she didn’t want airport food.

She was recovering from the tail end of a sinus infection, and I wondered if the pressure from the altitude hurt her ears.

She was exhausted and fussy.

You did not let up with your mutters of annoyance and looks over your shoulder. You even shoved the back of the sear towards us.

I apologized to everyone around me.
I almost started crying myself.

I was feeling shame and guilt for not being able to control my own child.

I was at the end of my rope, but then, an angel to the rescue- the flight attendant came by and gave my daughter a cup and straw to play with.

And just like that, the screams stopped and my baby was suddenly content.

The kind attendant told us, “It’s ok! Flying is tough on everyone, and you are both doing great!”

Somehow, her kindness calmed my baby.

Somehow, her simple words made me feel better.

She was right. We were doing great!
We were doing our best, and that’s as great as it gets.

The problem wasn’t with us, it was with you.

What you need to know, is that while children can be terribly inconvenient now, they will run the world when you are old and grey.

Kids can be annoying and downright obnoxious,
but they are also innovative and brilliant.

These kids might one day discover the cure for the type of cancer that runs in your family.

They can be selfish and loud, but they can also be precious and loving.

They might grow up to build systems and make laws that benefit us all.

They may grow up to serve others in a way that makes us wish we could go in time back and do it all over again.

They are the future.

They are gifts to their family, to their community, and to the world.

We will need them one day, and they need us now.

They need a kind word.
They need the novelty of a plastic cup and conversation from a new friend.

They need someone to look square in their mama’s nervous eyes and tell them that they are doing great, and that everything is going to be ok.

If you can’t muster up a smile and a hello,
then simple silence will do just fine.

I get it, kids can be a nuisance, but next time you are forced to be near one, I hope that you will be more like the flight attendant. I hope that instead of frustration and annoyance, you feel hope and goodness.

This world certainly has enough negativity without us adding to it, and just maybe the kindness you give out today, will be returned to you in the future.

Go off, queen! The mother ended the post with this adorable photo of her and her sleeping angel on the flight:

Unlike the man on the flight, this mom was able to get her point across without being rude as hell. Imagine that. May we all learn from her words, and may all rude men on flights try taking an Ambien and sleeping it off instead.

Vegan bridezilla bans meat-eating ‘murderers’ from wedding, gets slaughtered in the comments.

0
0

We've all heard of a bridezilla, but have you ever encountered a vegan bridezilla? Or a ~veganzilla~ if you will. You may be asking what on Earth could a veganzilla possibly be? Allow me to explain...

A Reddit user (Gelatin_MonKey7) posted a comment that was made in a Facebook group called Vegan Revolution by a woman who had banned all non-vegans from her wedding. The post revealed that the woman had uninvited family members and referred to them as 'murderers' because they eat meat. To be clear, it's not that these guests would be eating meat at the wedding, it was the fact that they simply do not partake in the vegan lifestyle full-time that got them kicked off the guest list. I have a feeling this is going to be a small wedding made up of the bride's local barista and a bunch of wild animals she rescued from the zoo.

You can read the veganzilla's original post here:

For some more context, Reddit user Lockraemono shared some screenshots from bridesmaids that were told they were no longer welcome.

As you can imagine, the woman who told her friends and family to enjoy the blood on their hands because they eat meat was absolutely roasted by commenters. But hey, at least they aren't roasting a pig!

SoggyReputation made this excellent point:

i can't imagine anyone (other than mom) being really upset they will miss this doozy of a dramafest

CarolineElizabeth777 made an eerie yet accurate prediction:

The bride is going to end up one of those crazy anti-vaxxers, I can feel it coming!

SleazyMack came in hot with the realness:

When being vegan (or anything really it doesn’t have to be vegan) becomes your primary identity you basically are in a cult.

franandzoe offered a does of rational vegan perspective:

It’s so funny to me vegans who are sooooo high and mighty and you find out they just became vegan. Ok.... I’ve been vegan for 20 some odd years and I always tell these people they need to relax or they are going to lose their minds or at least all their friends. Some people can’t do anything without going all in and by all in i mean losing their minds in the process. It’s insane.

saw the hypocrisy at play here:

Holy crap...what a literal shit show. Family dodged a bullet! What a bully! I live how she’s saying she is bullied when she is literally trying to bully people into veganism - that’s not how this works sweetheart!

Look, there's nothing wrong with being vegan. In fact, it's a great thing to do. I just wouldn't recommend losing all of your friends and family over it, especially on your wedding day. Because then you'll probably end up crying over cow's milk.

Woman tweets her swoon-worthy flight next to Timothee Chalamet. Everyone is jealous.

0
0

A lot of people day dream about what they'd do if they were seated by their favorite actor on a plane, but it's very rare these daydreams translate to reality. So, when the Twitter user Alankrutha was seated on a plane next to a guy who looked eerily like Timothee Chalamet, it took her a minute for her to realize it was in fact the Call Me By Your Name star himself.

However, once she confirmed it was in fact Chalamet, she soon found herself deep in conversation with the beloved star, all of which she shared with her Twitter followers later.

At first, she casually mentioned that he resembled Chalamet, to which he laughed and said "I get that a lot."

Deep down though, she knew it was him, and tried her best to keep chill for as long as possible. That is, until she snapped.

After this initial ice was broken, they were able to get to the real questions at hand, like whether or not Chalamet has met Beyonce.

While Chalamet was happy to oblige her questions, he also was very good about redirecting the conversation to her life.

Apparently he was incredibly warm and easy to talk to, which only makes him more likable.

At the end of their flight they gave each other some kind final words, and Chalamet revealed she was the only one who recognized him on the trip. Then, they snapped the inevitable selfie.

While she's barely visible in the selfie, Chalamet is certainly there, looking chill as hell and invariably lighting up the group text.

People on Twitter were overjoyed at the news of Chalamet being a sweetheart in real life, in fact, it likely only intensified fan crushes on the young actor.

This is a refreshing example of a celebrity who is actually as nice as they seem, and that can't be an easy expectation to live up to when you're getting recognized all the time.

Nancy Pelosi, First of Her Name, Speaker of the House, Thrower of Shade.

While Stacey Abrams delivered the official Democratic response to the State of the Union (and did an amazing job), Speaker Pelosi provided real-time commentary on the speech from the dais, and gifted us with this image of a thunderous, sarcastic clap.

It's even better in video form.

And best as a GIF!

sarcastic state of the union GIF
This clap is the ultimate clapback.

The Speaker insisted the clap was sincere, but come on. We can see your face! Let us have this!

Pelosi's daughter Christine can attest: this is more than just a clap. This is a mood. This is a message.

She may deny the shade, but there's no denying the meme.

Writer Parker Molly did us all a favor and provided us with the raw material for a Photoshop challenge, and the results are fantastic.

In theory, going to the doctor should be one of the few times you can count on a professional and emotionally safe experience. But sadly, since doctors are also human beings prone to side-stepping tact and engaging in uncomfortable, and sometimes inappropriate joking, even a seemingly routine check-up can turn into a nightmare if you have a doctor with a loose mouth.

In a recent Reddit thread commenters shared the most hurtful things medical professionals have said to them, and these are bad enough a certified therapist might need to be called in to contextualize the trauma.

1. stooble got the worst kind of pep talk.

"I went to get a lump on my groin checked out, and had to remove my underpants. The doctor started a whole speech about "size isn't everything", which isn't what I went there for."

2. CurryMuncher_ was gaslit on paper.

"He asked me if I felt lonely. I said I don’t think of myself as lonely. He wrote down Lonely and underlined it."

3. Zoefschildpad was gaslit for being vitamin deficient.

"'It's all between your ears' after missing at least one, but probably two crippling vitamin deficiencies by not ordering the right test. It took me two and a half years of thinking I was lazy and pathetic before I went to another doctor and got diagnosed."

4. whyamisoawesome9 got shamed for their nerves.

"You can't be in that much pain. You must have more energy than that. Turns out the lining of my nerves was being destroyed. I was becoming paralysed, painfully."

5. carmelacorleone works with a technician from hell.

"Wasn't said to me, but someone I knew. I work at a hospital, so does my mother. We had a forty-three year old woman who had a very rare form of cancer that spread incredibly fast to just about everywhere in her body. From diagnosis to death was about twelve weeks. The medications and therapies and the general lack of mobility caused her to become swollen and obese. She was a terribly sweet lady. They took her down to Radiology for a scan and the technician made a bunch of really mean comments about her weight because she was too large for our machines so they had to arrange for a transfer to another hospital for her scans and then have her transferred back."

"The technician thought that because Miss Jeannie was dying and sick that she was deaf or didn't understand English any longer, and so while they were alone she made so many mean comments. Miss Jeannie waited until she was back in her room waiting for her transfer before she started crying. I'll never understand people who feel the need to make others feel less than or badly."

"edit: I don't know the whole story about this lady, just the few weeks I knew her when she was with us in hospital. I've seen pictures of her from as late as six months pre-diagnosis and she was just slight above average in height and weight. I imagine the inability to move and take care of herself contributed to her weight gain, but, since I'm not a doctor, I can't make any kind of diagnosis beyond my limited scope of time with her. And no, the tech still works for us, and is a woman."

6. Banzai51 was accused of being a drug seeker.

"'You're too young to have that pain, you're the textbook definition of drug seeking.' Then refused to do any further examinations of my feet, which I specifically came in for. No tests performed, just ran her hands over my feet."

"I was in my 20s and my feet started killing me during workouts/runs. Later in the mid-30s, saw a doc and he diagnosed me with plantar fasciitis, arthritis, heel spurs, and a few other things."

7. larrycorser got the worst Army treatment.

"Getting out of the army- you are 100% healthy. My medical record was about six inches thick. Went to a civilian doctor and they were astonished anyone would say that. I am rated 80% disabled."

8. chessshark got poop-shamed when they had cancer.

"Was having digestive issues I eventually learned were a result of my undiagnosed cancer.

Doctor suggested I should wipe better."

9. Lord_Stag came across an extremely withholding doctor.

"'I just don't know how you could be in so much pain being so young, I'm not going to be able to write you a prescription." My response was, "You're a dipshit; I came in because I was hurt at work, doing heavy construction." I never asked for a prescription in the first place, I had assumed I was vetting an xray to see if I had broken anything."

10. anoll69's mom works with a doctor with zero tact.

"Not me but my mom is a nurse. One of her patients got shot in the foot holding a door closed in a school shooting. He was back in the hospital because he got an infection after surgery. Doc walks in and goes “so I hope you learned your lesson about playing with guns”

Edit: The kid was super respectful “well Dr. you know that shooting at that local high school? Unfortunately I got shot during that” Happened in the US."

11. LEMON_PARTY_ANIMAL's doctor was mean out of the gate.

"When I had a kidney stone: Why did you come to the ER?? Why didn’t you take Tylenol or something? This is a waste of resources. He made me cry :("

12. Xerathi almost lost their daughter because of awful doctors.

"Wife took our 2 y/o daughter to the doctor because she was sick and her behaviour seemed to be changing. She couldn't eat or drink. Our local doctor said that's how kids are sometimes and just monitor her behaviour. As we were pretty sure there was something definitely wrong we kept seeing different doctors. Last one said we were acting hysterically and our behaviour were a problem. 5 days later our daughter seemed to had a seizure so we went to the hospital. Our daughter had a brain tumor and the doctor at the hospital said this should have been recognized sooner. He was astounded that we've seen 5 doctors all blaming us as parents to "just be acting up over nothing"."

13. CasenW got straight up shamed for their skin.

"I went to get an earache checked and the first thing the doctor said was 'Yeah so I’m gonna put you on some medicine for the ear but we’ve gotta do something about your face, your acne is absolutely terrible.' Thanks doc."

14. GuyfromMemphis received horrible news in a horrible way from a horrible doctor.

"I woke up in the hospital and heard a nurse running out saying “he’s awake”. The Dr. comes into the room and tells me to move my toes. I ask them where I am and what’s going on, he just gets more insistent that I “move your toes”. I asked again where I was and that was going on , he almost yells at me “ move your toes”. I said I am moving my toes, and immediately he says “you will never walk again.” That’s how I found out I was a paraplegic at 21 years old. I had been in a single car wreck and was thrown 70-80 feet from the car and my vertebrae was dislocated and laying next to another one. I don’t remember the car wreck but that exchange with the Dr. Is burned into my brain, and that was 31 years ago."

"Edit 1: Damn this blew up. Thank you to you all for your comments. I had a seatbelt on but went off a small hill next to the interstate after clipping an end of the guardrail. Flipped the car down the hill and seat and seatbelt gave way under the pressure and I went out the driver door window. My back collapsed around the door sill and dislocated one vertebra next to the one below it. I’m a big guy 6’4” and 235 at the time and the force was too much for the seat structure. I found out all these details over the next few weeks while I was in rehab."

15. JackReacharounnd was told they were hallucinating.

"I did a video chat service to talk to a doctor for 15 minutes. I told her my symptoms and thoughts since we were low on time. I had been very sick for weeks, possible urinary tract infection and respiratory infection. Also gave my other ideas from my symptoms. She told me I had Valley Fever and told me all about it over chat and we got cut off at 15 minutes."

"I got her final email which should have a prescription in it and was told she actually thought I had Somatic Symptom Disorder aka that I was making all of this up and was perfectly fine. Her prescription was for a fucking psychologist!! She told me in detail about my possible valley fever even though I said I hadn't been to the areas she said it was prevalent."

"I made an appointment with my normal doctor and had a few tests ran. Had a respiratory infection and a freaking KIDNEY infection!! 10 or so days of meds and I was fine.

My gosh I was so angry at that quack."

16. ur_tears_r_tasty was told they were a dramatic teen girl.

"When I was 16 and dealing with partial deafness: "Sometimes being a teenage girl is hard, but it's hard to parent them too so there's no need to exaggerate things to make things harder for your parents. Knock it off, there's nothing wrong with you."

Two tumors, 9 surgeries, and a CSF leak later, yes doctor. There really was something wrong."

17. Jollyville's dentist was a villain from Zoolander.

"I started going to a dentist that had come highly recommended by a few different people. When I asked him about the possibility of straightening my front teeth, he said “Well, you’ll never be on the cover of Vogue, but I think we can help you out”.

I stopped going to him a few appointments later when he got mad at me for telling him that the filling he did months ago still really hurt."

18. Devornine got fat-shamed for having a cyst.

"I had gained a lot of weight around my mid section a few years back, and my periods stopped. I was scared, young, and thought I was pregnant, but the tests came back negative. I went to a doctor to have myself checked out and she did some basic tests before telling me.

"There is nothing wrong with you, you're just fat"

"I already had some body confidence issues, but hearing it from my doctor, when I was trying really hard to get in shape, really hurt, I worked hard to lose weight, but my belly wouldn't shrink, I was starting to feel really sick, and went back to the doctor, who again told me it was that I was just fat. I was crushed."

"A year later I went to the hospital for something unrelated, and it was discovered that I had a giant Ovarian Cyst, about the size of a newborn. It was throwing off my hormones, making me gain weight, among many other issues. I have since lost weight and am feeling super confident now, but that doctor really messed me up for a long time."

19. IronicJeremyIrons was literally prescribed a baby.

"My doctor suggesting that I have a baby because my nether regions were too tight and causing discomfort during sex.

Yes, shit a screaming ham and see if that increases my pleasure"

20. howmuchmethistoomuch was mocked for having stretch marks.

"When I was 21 I went to the doctor for a checkup. The doctor asks me to lift my shirt and I do. He immediately says "egh" and makes a look of disgust on his face. I was an idiot and was gaining weight too quickly, due to this I had stretch marks. I've lost the weight and am normal weight now but I still can't shake that moment. This was 8 years ago."

21. HappyGiraffe had a nurse who truly couldn't read the room.

"I'm sure it's not that bad"

The intake nurse at the in patient psychiatric unit I was checking myself into after a suicide attempt following as sexual assault."


Kellyanne Conway threatened to perform abortions 'with a gun' in a terrifying resurfaced clip.

The endless nightmare of the newscycle in recent months has been surprisingly lacking in Kellyanne Conway appearances. The counselor to Trump used to be a media mainstay, with her invention of "alternative facts," her memory of the tragic fictional Bowling Green massacre, and the surfacing of her cloaked glamour shot.

Well now, Conway's infamy has been reignited by a resurfaced clip of her threatening to give feminists abortions with a gun. The clip was recently republished by MediaITE and shows Conway giving an impassioned speech to the College Republican National Committee back in 2007.

In the middle of her speech, Conway harps on "gender studies feminists," joking that if she heard them talk about reproductive rights or gun reform once more, she'd perform an abortion with a gun.

"I always love to say to those gender studies people if you say ‘abortion’ or ‘stem cells’ or ‘guns’ one more time, I’m going to perform one of those on you because, with a gun, because you, by implication, are suggesting that women can’t do the math," Conway said.

The clip was quickly made the rounds on Twitter where people are unpacking the villainesque quip.

Several people pointed out the irony of the video, considering Conway's demands for civility from the left. There's also, of course, the obvious irony of an anti-abortion politian threatening women she dislikes with a violence abortion.

Unfortunately, given how far gone the Trump administration is, it's unlikely Conway will face any real life consequences for this style of threat. Nonetheless, sometimes the only way to stay sane is to remind ourselves we're not the crazy ones.

18 Savage Memes That Will Only Be Funny If You Hate Your Ex.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has words for people angry about her face during the State of the Union.

In our era of polarization, it's nice to see that people on both the Left and Right have something in common: they're all obsessed with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

The freshman congresswoman from New York attended her first Trump rallyState of the Union, and was not impressed with the president's performance.

AOC's reaction when Democrat-in-name-only Senator Joe Manchin applauded fossil fuels became an instant meme,

There was more to AOC's look than just her bold-lipped stare.

The Democratic women in the House of Representatives all wore white to pay tribute to the suffragette movement that gave them the right to vote.

Rep. Ocasio-Cortez, along with her fellow progressive congresswoman Rep. Rashida Tlaib, wore pins with the face of Jakelin Caal, one of the migrant children who died in the government's custody.

She also brought as her guest Ana Maria Archila, the activist who confronted Jeff Flake in an elevator over his support for Justice Accused Sexual Assaulter Brett Kavanaugh.

Conservatives, in their obsession with her every move and dance move, were absolutely AGHAST that the congresswoman dared not to smile as the president lied about immigrants, threatened women's bodily autonomy, and pretty much threatened war if the Democratic House investigates him.

When not photoshopping her white outfit to look like a straitjacket, conservative pundits decried her lack of joy, basically saying that she should "smile more."

Wall Street Journal columnist Peggy Noonan said that Ocasio-Cortez "had a rare bad night, looking not spirited, warm and original as usual but sullen, teenaged and at a loss."

The congresswoman responded, "Why should I be ‘spirited and warm’ for this embarrassment of a #SOTU? Tonight was an unsettling night for our country. The president failed to offer any plan, any vision at all, for our future."

This pretty much sums it up.

17 people share the rudest things guests did in their homes. Don't look up 'upper-decking.'

0

House guests can be...a lot.

Sometimes even if you have the best intentions, people will still take advantage of your hospitality. While we've all had awkward roommate stories, as we get older we start to demand a little more respect from others. That doesn't stop people from blowing up our bathrooms and hiding the evidence, stealing our items, drinking our liquor, or peeing in our trashcans. Some people are animals. It can't be helped.

So when a recent Reddit user asked the question, "What's the rudest thing a guest in your home has done?" people were ready to complain about the horror stories that keep them up at night. Put down your lunch, things are about to get disturbing.

1. The rudest person in this situation is the mom, "diphoemacy."

my 10-year-old distant cousin unwrapped 3 new bars of soap and flushed them down the toilet on the 3rd floor of my house. That night, we returned from dinner to find water dripping from the ceiling on the first floor—the third floor bathroom had flooded and the water leaked through the floor, dripped from the ceiling of the second floor, and leaked though to the ceiling of the first floor. the whole mess cost thousands of dollars to repair.

the kid confessed everything with great glee and his mother just thought it was the funniest thing.

2. These people are monsters, "f1owers."

Stole money from our engagement cards, at our house, during our engagement party.

3. This is a nightmare, "texastica."

Used my laptop to watch porn and it ended up with tons of viruses. Took a big dump and put almost a whole roll of toilet paper in the toilet. Told my nephew his friend was never allowed back.

4. Love is rough, "scarletmanuka."

We had two couples come to stay with us from overseas and one of the couples spent the entire time arguing and getting into massive fights. This included screaming, crying, slamming doors, sulking, the works. For three weeks. It was the longest three weeks of my life.

5. Oh no, "xandriaaa."

Stole $70, shot meth in my bathroom, dropped lit cigarettes on my carpet; tried to justify it by saying they cleaned my sink.

6. Not cute at all, "Squiii."

Let their child punch our brand new TV and laughed as he did it as if it was cute

7. Um, what? "KikiParker888."

Tried to crawl into bed with me while I was asleep with my husband next to me in bed. Creepy and rude.

8. No thanks, "NoAffect14."

Kid tried to cut my birthday cake, and open my presents. The whole time his mom was laughing like it was some joke.

9. Hell no, "take_us_there_skitch. "

So I was away for the weekend, and my roommate had some friends over for drinks. Problem is, when he drinks he often blacks out, which he did before ensuring all his friends had left. In the morning he discovers 2 friends stayed the night, in my room. Not cool, but at least they didn’t drink and drive I guess? So not initially enraged....but when I finally make it home I discover BLOOD that is very clearly from PERIOD SEX on my duvet cover. Not “whoopsies started in the middle of the night puddle” but edge of the bed, on top, smeared around. And we’re not party college kids, we’re all mid 30’s with real jobs and what one might assume is a little bit of respect. They’re not welcome back.

10. Yikes, "fireinvestigator113."

My ex girlfriend got shitfaced drunk at my grandmothers funeral then got into a screaming match with my brother and dad in the front yard.​​​​​​​

11. This is hell, "analogHedgehog."

When I was in university, one of roommates asked if a high school friend of his from back home could come visit and stay in our apartment for a night or two. I agreed, but I was writing midterms and was stressed beyond belief so I firmly requested that they not party at our place so that I could get to sleep uninterrupted.

I came home from the library at 11pm and they were both shitfaced. My roommate was passed out in his bedroom, there was rank-smelling puke all over the toilet seat, and his friend had brought a girl home from the campus bar and was currently having sex in my bed. WTF.

I kicked his (and her) asses out of the apartment, and then ended up doing laundry at 11:30pm because my sheets were sweaty and covered in their fuck-juices.

I no longer speak with this roommate.

12. NOPE, "WELCO."

I had people over at my apartment and someones friend upper decked my toilet.

13. What, "faerie03?"

Let her dog, who was on a leash, pee on me and continue talking to finish her thought before taking him outside. She also didn’t help clean it up.

14. This is abuse, "kweenbreen."

Picked up my very small poodle, held her on her back with two hands over a 10 ft balcony. If my dog would’ve even wiggled, she would’ve fallen to her death

15. This person has no respect, "easyiris."

I came downstairs to find her holding an entire block of cheddar cheese and taking bites out of it like a sandwich.

16. Dogs always know, "dadadawn."

My cousin and her daughter, who has down syndrome, were visiting and staying with me in my home. Her kid pooped in a quilt, and for some reason my cousin rolled it up and shoved it in the closet in the guest room without telling me.

I discovered it after they left (it was rolled up pretty good so I didn't smell it immediately) because my dog stood in front of the closet and barked nonstop until I came and found it...She was so offended by it and didn't stop barking until it was completely cleaned up, haha.

17. Oh my god, "naigung."

Drank half of the $200 bottle of tequila I got my wife for her birthday. She filled it up with water so we wouldn’t notice though...

Man gets perfect revenge on abusive freeloader trying to buy his leaf blower.

Everyone acts a little bit entitled from time to time. However, there's a notable difference between letting entitlement occasionally slip, and being a walking avatar for everything that's wrong with American entitlement.

In a recent Reddit post, the user Rebel Road shared a beyond frustrating exchange they had with an incredibly entitled buyer. The debate over the price of a new leaf blower escalated quickly, and somehow kept escalating until it turned into an in-person ghosting.

This is truly an excellent way to shut down someone with this level of entitlement and verbal abuse. Let them exhaust themselves with their anger, let them make plans you don't plan on showing up to, and then ghost them with karma.
