I didn’t see this until my first semester in college in ‘99 and was pretty grossed out by the whole thing. My boyfriend who grew up in Long Beach, CA was like meh, these things happen and I was like ......yuck. ALSO: the VHS rental of Kids I had got fuzzy at all the naked parts so people had been using it to whack…

I quite literally had someone recently two days in a row “fix’ my outfit when we met for dinner. It really ticked me off.

Mekki’s been watching Gone Girl as an MRA primer.

Museum of Sex. They have a cool exhibit going about sex and camping.

Videos were virtually (heh) impossible online in the late 90’s and early aughts. i knew a guy who downloaded lots of images via dial-up though and it took forever to find, DL and catalogue them. For video, we were still running down to the porn store for DVDs that would run you like forty or fifty bucks. I knew…

or open every conversation with [listlessly] “What kind of bread?”

Meh. I have friends from Florida and Brooklyn that are just convinced that New Mexico is the scariest place on earth. As someone from there, Northern NM to boot, I just laugh.

Sounds like you’d be the very folks she’d be afeard of. You lived in a trailer, after all. <eyeroll>

Pssht. You can’t ban people willy nilly! This isn’t Pinkham’s Kitchenette fiefdom.

Mexican people: we give you love, green and full of healthy fats!

You sound like my mom. She has a hard time spending money on anything nonessential. Major purchases take 3-5 years to work up to and must be a DEAL. That stresses me out to no end. i agree that maybe a therapist can help or perhaps even taking $20-$50 a month as mad money and spending in on nonessentials and not…

This needs more stars. I wrote something similar above given the Kipniss article and the bogus Title IX complaint because she didn’t change her essay to fit the demands of the complaining students. A university president should not override committee decisions and make firing decisions against recommendations.

The issue here is that now having tenure means nothing as colleges and universities corporatize. The committee recommended censure for the tone/word choice of the professors statements which is reasonable but not firing. Tenure is there so that there is academic freedom. If no students complained then I see some kind…

Mok, American hero.

This is why I say my cat has a LOT in common with velociraptors. Too much.

Nah, just even more white kids would select Native American and Black on applications to defraud unis and employers.

Agreed. Read up on the Kurt and Courtney Cobain feud with Axl Rose. At the MTV music video awards Courtney goaded Axl and Kurt followed up with something like “Are you going to hit me with a baby in my arms?” Terrible but hilarious.

But...vocabulary, it’s impotent.

Same with Barnacle Bill. Our weird dentist gave him a rose (a weird thing they were doing) and instructed him to give it to me which he did...but shoving it in my general direction without looking at me. Ok, it was an artificial scenario, BUT he also did the same thing with the engagement ring. We had picked it out…

What’s the deal with the handle name change? What drama did i mis?
