Do you seriously not understand the difference or am I just missing the joke?

While I think it's possible to go overboard on gifs, I think they fit very nicely in this particular piece. Then again, I like everything you post here, so I'm not exactly unbiased.

Yup! I was 15 in 1997; am totally Team Freddie.

I second the recommendation to line up something cute after Requiem for a Dream. My college roommate and I watched it, and then could not get to sleep for hours, until finally we put on Shrek to bring back our equilibrium (the cutest, non-scariest thing we had on VHS at the time)....

Depends on who it is. Maybe the harm could be a stalker ex, or crazy family members, or throwing it in the face of people who weren't invited. Some people just like privacy.

Agreed.

You're right. It's still useful, pragmatic advice though, and Hillary does seem to be very pragmatic about a lot of things.

And also that others will buy them drinks because it's a bachelorette party, even if only 13/15 are hot? I am not a club person at all, but that's what my experience has been with bachelorette parties in general - even us nerdy girls got more attention than we ever would if it was just a normal weekend. (I hate that…

True, but isn't the additional money spent because it's a bachelorette party (and therefore the expectation is that they would be inclined to go overboard) what they are bringing to the table? Isn't that why they would get comped somewhere else without sending photos - because it's a bachelorette party and they know…

Thanks! I really had a feeling I must have been missing something there, ha.

I couldn't edit my response below for some reason, but - I read down thread about the difference between sensitivity to milk sugar (i.e. lactose) and milk proteins. Maybe the people with gluten issues have issues with the milk protein, and not lactose? Food for thought (bad pun intended).

What does being white have to do with it? I'm as pasty white as it gets and I'm lactose intolerant. I also know I'm not alone in that.

That's very interesting. None of the people I know with celiac have an issue with lactose (I became lactose intolerant in my late 20's and so, we discuss our sad food issues). At least I can take lactaid and get by, though it doesn't fix everything.

"Was he already planning to paint and decided to kill two spiders with one blowtorch or was he planning to use the paint to show people exactly where and how the spider died. "You see that dick-looking drawing near the washing machine? Yup, that's where I got him. That's where that mean little fucker drew his last…

I have no idea what that must be like, but my heart goes out to you for having to live between a rock and a hard place, and to your dad, too.

The campus process is supposed to provide alternative remedies as well, such as 1) moving faster than the criminal judicial process; 2) separate the perpetrator from the victim in residence halls, class schedules, other activities, etc. There are practical considerations aside from going to the police, not unlike when…

That thought crossed my mind and you may be right, but I have been amazed by the incompetent people placed in positions to investigate situations like this who never reach a conclusion or make a decision. I blame the company for not valuing the responsibility enough to put a competent, appropriately trained person in…

Not as often as one would think; most of the time it really is biased reporting. I took a class on rape culture and the law, and the awful way mainstream media writes about rape was one of the first things we learned about.

Depending on the context of the situation and the rest of what's said, you could be acting in a discriminatory manner based on national origin.
