@llamalaikum@tatertotsconor HIV was ignored at first because our government considered it a problem only for gay people. Fortunately the tide eventually turned on that.
@KellDAChicago I was in high school when my father became religious like overnight. I remember some of the crap he'd say. Can't imagine what effect it could have had if I'd been born into that.
@JustJoshinNH@kilday_morgan Thank you! I never understood why people were all about him. His face is wrong and I can't explain it any better then that.
@magi_jay@AsifKha05382298 The puppet episode was hilarious and I loved You're Welcome. Great series that I had some doubts about at first. Also loved the show Dollhouse by the same guy.
