I hate that we can no longer recommend an article with a star.

I’m a (olympic) weightlifter, but I train with/near the powerlifters (the platforms are all in the same area). We all chat and cheer each other on and watch each others competitions. These sports are really a bunch of nerds getting strong, not any kind of a “gym bro” culture people might picture. I love it. Finding…

I don’t doubt that the conservative hate of AOC is because she’s getting under their skin and they can’t date or fuck her into submission.

I started getting into my dads condom drawer when I was 15...
And considering back then he had been with the same lady for 10 years, I’m guessing the drawer was actually only ever used by me. There was never a talk about it, he just casually left the drawer open the morning after he first saw I had a girlfriend. The…

This drawer is a good idea... but terrifying without context.

Lube can be a safety issue, 100%. And I don’t think most teenagers take into account how their parents feel about them having sex before they choose to have sex--it was certainly irrelevant to my decision. 

I mean for older teens there are parents who are genuinely OK with their kid having sex rather than “I’d rather you not, but be safe if you must”. So that’s one consideration. Also, lube can decrease the chances of condom breakage, so there’s that. Can also be used solo, which any reasonable parent should be OK with…

Back in my day, if I needed condoms I’d go buy condoms. Kids these days...

So, straight people have these very strange views of “ownership” over not only their current partners but past partners. Like, if you fucked someone, you somehow have dibs. It’s like you shoveled out a space in front of your apartment and put a chair in it to tell other people to fuck off and to tell them they can’t…

I am straight and I dont get us. 

I’m straight and my reaction is “who are these people?” as well. So there’s that.  Performing the worst leftover shit from a script where “romance” equates to distrust is just repulsive.

The straights are not okay. I say this as a straight person who is THISCLOSE to cross-stitching “damn it feels good to be a spinster” on a throw pillow. But part of this “trend” is simple narcissism exacerbated by the siren’s call of social media, which is hard for someone of any sexual orientation to resist.

Who are these people...

Right?! I was wondering what tf a “shacket” is, and then I was like “oh, it’s a lined work shirt”.

Exactly.  

When I worked in a warehouse my quilted flannel top shirt was part of my daily uniform. Man, I loved that shirt.

As someone who grew up in the Chicagoland area (third generation) and moved to Missouri (near-ish to St. Louis) about twenty years ago, I am absolutely blown away by this, if this is true. Tavern-style is all we ate. Though, admittedly, nobody called it “tavern-style.” We just called it “pizza.”

That’s because it’s just called “pizza” to them.

So I’m a freelancer. I literally tell them what I want to write and if they like it I end up doing it. It’s fun, though I do hate being excluded from a good cabal.

You know some pretty strange Chicagoans. The tavern-cut pizza is the standard pizza here and not by a little - far more Chicagoans have never had a deep dish pizza than have never eaten a tavern-cut. Every mom-and-pop shop sells tavern-cut thin crust pies, most of the big regional chains do (Aurelio’s, D’Agostinos, La…
