shrug. Just a poor slob who saves to eat out twice a month. Please and thank you.

I'm willing to admit servers probably find me difficult, (I have seating preferences, tend to want to order things off menu) but hear me out- ONLY if the restaurant wasn't busy, what is the harm in making a few bucks from the couple who brought their own food? Tell them they have to place a drink order, come back only…
As my husband always says "you don't get an award for being a normal amount of decent"
Thank you. Now that I know I'm not alone, maybe I can stop beating myself up for my lack of interest in family. They are good enough people, and I am secure enough with my sibling relationships to know we have each others' backs if needed, but their priorities aren't mine and their lack of any interest in arts or…
I like to put some evolutionary perspective on my problems with mommy dearest. Really, biologically, all we need to do as parents is birth a child and keep it alive until it can fend for itself. All the emotional attachment is just a mechanism of incentive to protect the child and keep it alive to further the human…
Context. I'm stealing this from someone who knows, hope you don't mind french dude.
I defend the large amount of their output that was not hate speech. I cannot scrutinize all of it, but most fit the definition of satire, not hate speech. If there is a point to it that skewers hypocrisy or idiocy or tyranny, it is not hate speech. There's a difference between you're a Muslim and so you are stupid…
I've already replied way to many times to myself, but can I just leave this here and say, there is no person named Charlie Hebdo. That is the name of the publication. The cartoonist known as Charb is Stéphane Charbonnier. Sorry about that.
crap, my ethics are krumbling in on themselves. Say whatever you want, because free speech. But realize you thinking some of his work should not be is the same as someone saying your religion or belief system should not not be.
Yes, of course I defend the right of everyone to say Hebdo sucked ass, but when he just got gunned down, I defend my own right to say you're an asshole for doing it right now.
So many people saying the work the dead people did was trash, and the fact that fear will prevent some satire against Islam now that there is pretty much a fatwa on the world, means the terrorists are winning. Would it be so bad for some of you not to express your opinions of DEAD peoples' work right now, and show…
But, marginalized!
Ok, here's what I believe: your religion and all others were created by men to create order and rules. People accept the rules because it gives them some sort of peace that I don't understand. The idea that these religions are used as reasons to control human reproduction and how and when people marry, and keep…
I Hope you aren't saying Muslims deeply offended by blasphemy and me being deeply offended by Rush Limbaugh and his world view that scares the shit out of me are somehow different. Because they aren't. The Bible, Koran, and Rush Limbaugh all spew words that can be debated and ridiculed. We all disagree. Period. Being…
Right you are, Tina! And it isn't just America! Just look at all these countries where people can offend each other with impunity! It's called civilization, and if your country doesn't have it, I highly recommend it.
Not even copycats, but malcontents around the world are being urged to stay home and "kill the infidels nearest you." After all, killing infidels shouldn't take too much time out of one's busy schedule. http://nypost.com/2014/09/22/isl…
To: all of those saying we should not be praising Hebdo and his organization because they ridiculed already marginalized groups. NO, THEY DID NOT. Their targets were the same as any satirist; tyrants, blowhards, and hypocrites who preach hate instead of following the tenets of their own religion. No peace loving…
THE most hilarious thing is that the original article in which he was mentioned was about parking spaces. Yes, indeed, he has made himself an internet bonehead celebrity over a tiny blurb no one read about internal squabbling on the city council about keys to offices and parking spaces, and he wasn't even the focus…
Have you been banned from the Jezebel main page? Did you spill coffee on the editor from your monogrammed thermos? What the hell does this have to do with kitchens, food, etc.?
What I've noticed anecdotally is when (usually) a woman is carrying food, some men will use it as an excuse to come on to them. Like the man spreaders who spread just to touch women, or get closer to them, some men seem to be looking for any excuse to begin unwanted conversation about what the woman is carrying,…
