A lot of people, if the stories I hear are any indication.

Eh, ignore the low-rent troll. He’s got a hate-on for women, judging from his other comments in this thread.

I’m lucky that I’m tall, and unlucky that I’m fat. I end up wearing stuff made for dudes because the “ladies” stuff is made for

You are awesome, and this is awesome. I can’t wait to see your awesome face(s) every time I hit up Millihelen.

I ride to work every day, and the benefits are pretty great! The parking garage charges me $60 a month to park — for cars it’s $200.

Jesus, like I need more reasons to hate the Smug Portlanders.

I have/had this same experience. I hate my given name. My parents went Southern on me, and my name is my two aunts’ middle names smashed together. People tell me it’s so pretty oh my gosh but it’s not pretty to me.

I think the only additional advice I’d give is, don’t get a beater as your only vehicle, unless it’s completely unavoidable. It’s really nice to have something that you know will work when you need it to.

Yay, awesome! I’m just transposing “motorcycle” with “car” here, and I’m 3/4 of the way there!

Check out Videostream. I know you’re not so keen on apps, but it’s pretty fantastic, and you can play stuff from your phone/whatever to a Chromecast, with your PC as the source, very easily.

Ahaha, oh lord. My dad does this. I love my dad, but holy shit.

Family tree, or family... twig?

I’m sorry, did you say something? I was busy staring at that ass.

I guess it’s that thing where you say, “Is that Christian circle worth five pounds of nail clippings and a half-eaten Twinkie?” and you know the answer is “Hell no.”
