She compared a black man to an ape. They do not look anything alike unless you are a racist and that’s what you see when you see a black man, so yes, it does make her racist.

Yes. 

I think it’s really easy to be nostalgic about the early ‘00s if you didn’t have to live through the era of 3" zipper low-rise jeans and navigate the politics of visible thongs.

But I just told him I wanted an early-2000s vibe because that was my favorite era of music.”

Speaking as a longtime teacher, if your class is “distracted” by some kid’s hair, you need to step up your teaching game. Kids get distracted. They’d rather be doing something else. Deal with it.

Uh, yeah. Around here you can’t touch a child without notifying the parents first, unless it’s an emergency/self defense sort of situation. If a teacher has a problem with the student’s dress, the student is sent to the administrative office and the parents are called. The end.

So what’s the point of requiring a emergency contact, etc. for a student if you don’t use the fucking info when you need to? Shouldn’t there be a phone call made to say, “Hey, you child’s haircut doesn’t adhere to our standards. It needs to be taken care of.” Whether the standard is right or wrong, the call needs to…

I recreated this entire sign and framed it and hung it right above my toilet tank.

Exactly. #Boymom is the precursor to “Boys will be boys.”

My Mom had all girls and “boy moms” used to annoy her so much. They all seemed to assume that being loud, messy, and roughhousing was something only boys did. She would frequently point out that my sisters and I did all of those things (especially the story where my middle sister and I were fighting and fell onto the…

To be clear, most people who aren’t at least permanent residents are categorically ineligible to receive public benefits anyway (with the exception of asylees and refugees, to whom the new rule doesn’t apply anyway)- but their U.S.-born children aren’t. So look forward to a generation of U.S. citizens growing up in…

God forbid someone feel uncomfortable around a badly trained Pitbull while trapped in a tube.

This is a picture of the unbelievably posh house Kid Rock grew up in, complete with a pool, ponies and a tennis court. His entire redneck persona is a complete sham designed to sell music to rednecks, the only demographic left still willing to listen to his shitty music.

Agreed! Met my husband on OKC just over six years ago. A lot of duds, but there were some fun (or laughable) experiences along the way. Nothing better/worse than those I was meeting in real life, just expanding the pool. I will say for my husband, I don’t believe our paths would have ever crossed outside of online in…

OKC was a decent experience for me too. I had a couple of relationships and met a lot of good guys who I became friends with. Aside from the “old enough to be my dad”, and the “I could technically be your mom” contingents, I really didn’t receive any correspondence that was gross or disrespectful (I know this is rare).

Seconded.

I know dating apps are bleak, I’ve never managed to use one for more than a day before I just nope out in an anxious fit. But youthful types such as yourself might not know that it was ALWAYS bleak. Before apps, before websites, we had ooh lets see... personal ads in the back pages of the newspaper. hotlines. speed…

I second this.

I met my spouse on the weirdest app of all, Coffee Meets Bagel. Unlike other dating apps, everyone I met on that app was exceedingly decent and polite. Then again, I had a pretty aggressive profile and stipulated my dates must identify as feminists. That sort of thing narrows the field considerably and I recommend it.…
