I’m concerned about this for a trip I’m taking in October - dream vacation/30th birthday jaunt to London, Orkney, and Norway, that was only possible because Kayak’s flight alert made me aware of an insane round-trip deal between DC and London. I’m flying back from Orkney into London City Airport, because it was cheap…

You’re so strong. I would have gone the easy route and killed her, then gone to prison for 15-20 years for killing her. Still easier than getting a moron to admit they’re wrong or change their ways.

Exactly. My friend is like, But with SoundCloud you can hear almost any song you can think of, any time you like! Which is true as long as you don’t, for example, mind being able to hear Taylor Swift’s entire oeuvre one day and literally nothing the next. It’s an extreme example, but the same thing happens all the…

I literally said, It’s like Hamlet, you already know that everyone dies! I can’t remember how or if he tried to rebut that, because it is rebuttal-proof.

And you might want to re-evaluate how deeply your opinion is valued or needed in this and possibly other instances.

I’m not confused about this, however you have to admit that getting countries like Sudan and Finland to work together on something like this is a hell of a lot more complicated than getting two countries with more shared history and culture together. Also Finland, like a number of EU countries, has a consulate but not…

Thank you. I needed this information.

I licked a triceratops skull. Just on the point of one of the horns. I have lived half of my life since then and done many, many interesting things, but that still may be the one I’m proudest of.

It’s funny because one of the only reasons I can see myself getting married is to get a red passport (I have a degree in International Relations and have lived long-term outside the U.S. twice, and am desperate to have the experience again) but talking to that woman gave me a real eye-opener about how complicated…

It’s a tragedy, and I think international law has a LOT of catching up to do, because as we become more mobile this sort of thing is just going to keep happening, over and over. Even between people of good will and good intentions, divorces can get messy and recriminative.

That’s Capitalism! If you don’t have any $ and you get murdered, no one cares, and if you do have $ and get murdered, that’s your fault for being a food and not buying things to keep yourself safe!

Never forget that study after study has shown that your chances of successfully defending yourself with a gun are vanishingly small compared to the very real chance that the gun will be taken from you, and used to victimize either yourself or somebody else.

I had, and have, the greatest respect for the woman in Sudan. I don’t know anything about Kelly Rutherford. I hope she’s doing her best.

Tell this to my ex-boyfriend after I “spoiled” Pride and Prejudice.

Gueeeessss who’s not competent to keep the job they’re paid for!

“Until I can have a solution to the problem I care about, I demand that we create as many new problems as possible so that people pay attention!”

Which is one thing they have in common with social Darwinism.

While this is excellent life advice-not-a-hack, this does seem to be somewhat outside of the spirit of the 30-minute meal.

Not good dinner, certainly, and not for more than me. Even a salad from scratch involves enough cutting to eat up 45 minutes, and that’s not counting if you have to cook a protein to go in it or want to make the dressing yourself.

Not nearly as efficient as my preferred method, which is culling all those who cite social Darwinism while misspelling homophones.
