Stuff I saw on the internet last week: "If you go to the circus for news, don't be upset if a clown tells it to you"
Hey, y’all! Congratulations on Donald Trump getting voted out of the office! There’s still work to be done, but for right now, I hope y’all are enjoying your exhales.

TWEETS! (election week edition)
(A very niche audience will appreciate that last one)
REDDIT!
Uh, run run run run RUN:
A few weeks ago we ran into one another and he asked me out. We've since gone on 3 dates and I've enjoyed getting to know him. On the last date, however, after a bottle of wine, he suddenly confessed that
he's been in love with me since our last date 11 years ago (he even has a folder on his phone of photos of me, including photos from our dates back then!)
though he's had other girlfriends in this time, he's tried to become the kind of person I would want to date (fit, successful, philanthropic)
he's deeply hurt that I don't feel the same level of intense attraction he does (and I think somewhat resentful, though he denies it)
Nope, nope, nope:
I asked my husband if he could take some of my stepdaughter's (16) college fund to pay for [my son’s] wedding. My husband was upset and told me that he was surprised I even suggested this and that his relationship with his daughter is already severe enough and taking money from her college fund would destroy the relationship completely. Said that this would tell his daughter that my son is more important than her. He yelled at me and told me to drop it.
You’re an asshole, your boyfriend’s an asshole, and you should both go off and live on asshole island:
Basically, the reason they wanted an abortion was because they were too young and didn’t have good enough income to provide for a child. My boyfriend argued that they were smart enough and it wasn’t like they were poor and if they worked harder they could’ve had the child or put it up for adoption. Felicia said that she could never do that to a child, that it wasn’t guaranteed they would have a good life and that both of them had dreams and ambitions they just couldn’t give up. He ended up ruining the entire evening by calling her a child killer and saying she should be ashamed of herself for killing it. Basically, Micheal got angry and shit hit the roof. I tried to apologize - I didn’t think he’d say anything because he usually would never and it just happened way too quickly for me to intervene properly.
Here’s a very satisfying cleaning video.
And here’s a video with an unexpected ending.
TUMBLR!
