Good news tumblr did away with that in favor of the stack of comments style the rest of the free world uses.

And there were a lot of people who were seriously upset about this because apparently arranging replies in a readable manner is trying to be just like Facebook.

It doesn't matter how the quotes are arranged when you have people that will carry on huge chains. It's still unreadable after the 3rd reply but people will still try to carry on 10, 15+ reply chains because there's no automatic way to shorten it and people are too dumb/self-important to do it themselves.

Basically it's just a tumblr problem.

"We can't change X, what about Y?" when Y is only tangentially related is a way of dismissing any attempt at social progress. Sometimes it works out though: Think of all the people who voted and argued against bills that help military veterans. Once the idea of Syrian refugees came up, those same people went, "Uh... wait, we can't help refugees until we help military veterans!"

Its normally a situation where each parent is supposed to pay a %age of their income, based on how much they would have invested if married(if your wife makes 20k and you make 100k, she isn't going to be contributing much more than groceries). Additionally, if the couple can work it out between themselves, the judge will let their agreement stand(ex: when my parents got divorced, my mom asked for ~half what she could have gotten, and thats where it stood til my dad got smart and tried to challenge it, then he got hit with the full amount from then out).

From the comments:

"incitefulcomment" is a brilliant username for somebody who posts hateful garbage meant to look sincere and thoughtful, though.

Anyway, as for the original picture, I've read that men often don't really fight for custody too often, and when they do they don't have trouble getting it. Also, some people argue that even though the custody split is often with mom on weekdays and dad on weekends, and therefore time with dad is shorter, time with dad is also the time of the week for fun and cool things like going to the zoo or eating out for dinner, while mom has to be the responsible parent putting the kid to school and everything. This doesn't mean that the dad can't be responsible or shouldn't do fun things with the kid, but it does make it easy for a small child to perceive dad as the "fun parent" and mom as a nag or a bitch. So getting to see a child for a greater number of hours per week doesn't actually mean much if the child is spending their time looking forward to being with the other parent.

People of the majority aren't as special or superior when minorities are raised to their level, and they interpret that as oppression. That's why straight white men are the most oppressed members of society right now.

These bills come up every so often in Congress and they still have a majority voting against them, including female congress members. But also equal pay involves things that libertarians don't like, including more union-based pay policies, publishing pay schedules for employees and moving away from pay negotiations. Also once women start to dominate a field, it becomes lower paying and less important. See: teaching.

The real thing we need to be talk about is the state of shells in Mario Kart (a video game).

What are you talking about? They take a jpeg and throw it on their cdn server, then the front-end servers take those images and make a lame-rear end page loaded with a metric fuckton of JavaScript that tries to redefine what even your ARROW keys do, tack on an inefficient social media network, load the details on like 50 other images to try to spam you with more links, attempt to load up tons of tracking JavaScript from third party sites, and restrict your image width to something like 600px if in an album.
