I could barely finish that paragraph, it was so inexcusably racist

My parents had one of those on their wall for a while. My dad had it rigged up behind a regular picture frame, and it sat with bunch of other photos on the wall.

Because where a picture can say a thousand words, an animated picture can at least, I dunno, ten times as many.

Wrong dance of joy

I have so many emotions about this O_O

"Why can't we just be girls? Why do we have to be boys and girls at the same time?"

I was a flower girl when I was about 6 for a friend of the family's wedding. Apparently the ceremony went fine, but I was a HUGE brat about the dress (Because that was the important part, obviously). Because being the center of attention was totally A-OK, as long as I had the prettiest dress.

That sounds reasonably accurate to me - People of different racial backgrounds probably have slightly different characteristic aging patterns. The signs of age that you look for in one group of people (like say, grey hair, which is a genetically determined trait) may not appear in another group at the same rate (eg.…

Oh god do not underestimate the potential filth of the men's washroom.

I think the problem is that correcting someone's grammar generally comes off as a bit contemptuous, even if you didn't actually mean it that way. Additionally, if you do it to a partner often, it implies that you care more about the correctness of their speech than the content of it. It can sound like: "I don't care…

I mean right now I get a…

YES. If you are voluntarily a member of an organization, you are not allowed to pretend that stuff done in the name of that organization does not exist or apply to you.

I'd like to second that.

I was hoping for an "ego boosting app" where every time I write something, the tablet will complement an individualized part of my anatomy, chosen at random.

I am staggered that there isn't a Pinterest app preloaded on to this sucker.

Almost there, but isn't the more delicate and feminine option to let your husband decide when to have approving feelings towards something? After all, It's a bit unladylike to decide all on your own when clapping might be appropriate.

One thing that really stood out to me are men who earned their Eagle Scout badges over 40 years ago who still apparently care enough about the well being of organization and the lessons it supposes to teach, to turn in their badges. It speaks very highly of the BSA that it has such a lasting impact on the lives of…
