Also if you've ever seen a person from colder climes in like, Washington DC's summer heat and humidity, red like a lobster and bitching like a pissed-off cat, you know that they aren't any better equipped to deal with outside-of-the-norm weather, either.

It's a problem that you can't say "I unequivocally condemn the people who killed these journalists" and "I think what the journalists were doing was at best in extremely bad taste" without people jumping up and down screaming 'victim-blaming!' at the top of their lungs, but it is totally possible to think both of…

I know what it is to desperately love a food you have no chance of getting.

Your phasers are on blast for super no reason, and your reading comprehension leaves something to be desired. I just said I haven't vacuumed in 3 years - for what it's worth, I haven't done any cleaning of floors except for cleaning up spills for that same time. The point was, I am lazy, I could see Mark's point about…

Haha, I'm stuck in a conundrum where I don't want people to see a messy house (too much WASP in me) but I have no interest in "fixing" something when I am acutely not bothered by the state it's in. Anyway when I met my current friends' group I was caring for a truly no-joke psychotic dog, and couldn't have people over…

... were arraigned today after turning themselves into police...

I am only starring this once because the Kinja program won't let me star it one thousand million times.

I have hardwood floors, so there's no smell at all, and I have no idea where any dirt that comes in goes to - it's not like there's dust bunnies rolling tumbleweed-like around the place, and no visible piles of dirt in any of the corners I've looked in recently. It looks a little dusty, but not particularly repugnant.

Despite my adventures in some pretty cool foreign lands, and a general desire to go out on a high note, I sincerely hope this ISN'T the way I go, because anything bad that ever happens to a woman abroad eventually attracts comments about how 1) women ask for bad things to happen by doing things outside the "norm," or…

Depends on your willingness to accept a somewhat metaphorical definition of "destroy." Which, considering your previous complaint, you probably aren't.

Considering how often I vacuum (not for 3 years) I could see myself going the same way. Good news is, my mom's dogs would probably eat her & make the whole thing not my problem forever!

I would be interested to know in which direction and why you are biased about this instance. Is this... something you have experience with?

To be honest, in my calm moments I'm grateful not just for the money, but for the continued impetus to keep in contact with my mom. I'm not saying I forgive her, but I think maintaining a complicated relationship that is only sometimes still actively harmful to me is better in a lot of weird ways than just cutting off…

The funny thing is I'm really not a hippie in other respects, but unless you're a statistical outlier I don't get the big deal about a little sweat smell.

Bitch please. That dog would end up mysteriously dead within a week, because even dogs have more will and self-determination than this guy is willing to put up with. I know it, and I suspect if you dig deep in your heart of hearts, you know it too.

By the same token, I'm 5'10'', and trust me, TRUST ME, these guys are never themselves particularly tall (which is not in itself a dealbreaker for me) but are ALWAYS insecure about and around girls taller than them (which obviously is).

This might be the best use of gifs I've ever seen. It so perfectly encapsulates everything I felt.

Exactly. I'm imagining him as a Chris Traeger (Rob Lowe's Parks & Rec character) type, only not actually successful and with a side order of Into Women Too Young for Him.

Never has the general consensus against Muslim women going outside the faith seemed so grand. I'd convert if it was a 100% shield against interacting with men like this.
