North Korea executes 80 people ‘for watching foreign films.’

Machine-gunned in a stadium in front of 10,000 people.

And motherfuckers say The Hunger Games is “unrealistic.”

Pretending that humans don’t have this capacity — and that this sort of thing doesn’t happen all the time and throughout human history — is a disingenuous public affirmation, just as with the Mike Brown and Eric Garner cases, that this could never happen to me.

All you deluded liberals (and some conservatives), remember when you were talking about that “post-racial society” when Obama was elected?

What do you say now? After Eric Garner? After Mike Brown?

I pushed back against that at the time, just like I did the ACA.

So much for all those fantasies. Though people seem to hold on to them like a sand spur onto suede.

I think one reason that it was comparatively easy for me to lose weight is that like most things, food has absolutely no emotional meaning for me.

I don’t even understand “comfort food.” Like many human things, it eludes me.

Sure, I love pizza and eggnog and the like but the emotional content of that for me is absolutely zero.

I can intellectually – but not emotionally – understand how much more difficult it would be for people with emotional ties to food to lose weight. But I can never really understand it.
