Mary Roach is a legend. I love her.

I hate 'What if the kid is autistic? What if they're developmentally delayed?'...

Relief huh...an interesting perspective. It's much more interesting to me that you're almost never uncertain where the narrative is going - when I think about it, were I to be invested in that, it'd probably be an issue that nearly all games face these days rather - but to hone in on that sense is unique. I still…

If only there was a safer and more efficient way to transport crude oil.

I live in Canada so I know cold. It's -14 today and that's a decent winter day. The best advice besides layers is make sure your boots are high enough and whatever gloves or boots you pick they are lined and waterproof. The wet will get you more than anything. Once snow hits your body it melts and then that will…

Oh man, I would love to get my high school poetry scrubbed from google results, haha.

This right here. The right to be forgotten comes from a good place and for good purpose.

This case is neither of those things

NO, DO NOT COME IN HERE AND TELL THIS MAN THAT YOU AS A WOMAN KNOW MORE ABOUT HOW IT FEELS TO BE A WOMAN. HOW DARE YOU?

Oh that is what I call a Venus fly cat.

All hell doesn't break loose, but that stare can just break.you.down. He's the sweetest being on earth, not a naughty bone in his cute little body.

Well I guess traditionally you are supposed to ask the father for your hand in marriage soooo... progress?

Did he even offer a dowry? I mean, if you're going to be a dipshit and do something like that, might as well go all the way.

The weirdest part was how he didn't even attempt to say hello to me, just went straight for my mom.

This may be the wierdest story that I have read so far!

The same thing happened to me! Only I was 14! And he was the attendant at the gas station down the street from our house!

But what about the Welsh accent? BEST ACCENT EVER!

I had that acupuncture argument on Sunday, and the woman looked at me smugly and said "Well, anything that people have been using for 2000 years HAS to work". It's not worth arguing with crazy, but I wanted to say "What, like the Aztecs and human sacrifice? "

I can't believe I read that whole Jonathan Chait piece! (There were a select few things I agreed with, but not very many, and it was so fucking needlessly long and repetitive.) Your article was a great response.

The whole piece is a strawman. It is not "political correctness" that causes me to refrain from treating women like shit; nor is it PC that I dont walk up to Mrs. Chait and say, "Honey, you could stand to lose a few pounds." "Politically Correct" is a figleaf for the oppressed white male.

Some people may feel like they have to say things to look smart in front of artsy folks — otherwise they'll look foolish not saying anything or pointing out the obvious. That sentence was meant more from a self-conscious context — like you want to impress them or don't want to look dumb in front of them — and less…
