I always split the check with good friends with whom I eat out a lot. Sometimes the split is not totally fair (you had two glasses of wine, I had four; you had a salad and I didn’t) but it’s all a wash in the end. And my friendships are worth more than arguments over $20.

I still remember the moment I learned it too. It’s a real reality-check.

Yeah, if there’s one group of people who are bigger sticklers for rules and procedures than court clerks, it’s corrections officers.

If they’re very young (and especially girls), it’s often indicative of involvement in sex trafficking. Many pimps will send girls to get those awful face tattoos to both mark them and make them believe that they’re forever ruined so it’s not worth attempting to leave.

I suspect that she’s committed to the cause as long as it doesn’t cause her any actual discomfort (for example, the unpleasantness that would result to her personally if she resigned her stable and secure state job).

I know that we don’t want her to become a “martyr” for this cause by going to jail, I also really don’t think those convictions will hold her over for very long. Jail sucks.

“I am outraged that my actions have consequences.”

There are some real humorless sticklers around here. I say fake your own death. Not quite legal, I know - but as close as I can think of.

Has anyone also discussed that the antiquated State Department system doesn’t allow any kind of remote login? It’s so extreme that if you are traveling abroad (as many State employees do), the only way to check your official email is IN AN EMBASSY.

I dunno, man. I’m just like super into the Constitution. Maybe that’s just me.

Oh I didn’t see the photo of the friendly sign that read “Bring us new girls to meet!” Where did you see that one?

He’s a GM’dO.

Fucking GMOs.

I dunno dude, maybe disclose this desire to your partner and let her determine whether she agrees that “the role we play together as parents feels more important than my splitting us up so that I can seek out potential pussy options”?

Well, I think every relationship is different and people should do what works for them. For me, I don’t ask permission and I don’t give it either. I will certainly call my partner to let him know if my plans have changed for the day but (barring the occasional misunderstanding about preexisting plans), I’m not asking…

To me, the asking is a problem. Your wife is not your mother and asking for “permission” at a time like this communicates that you’ve already thought this through and decided that you think it seems like a good idea - you just want to make sure she won’t be mad (because deep down, you suspect there’s something to be…

And what is that guy cooking? A piece of white bread?

To be clear, McKesson did not “bounce around” until he scored some high-paying cushy public school admin position. He was a Teach for America teacher in an underperforming public school and was eventually promoted. This program is highly selective and more competitive than nearly any graduate program in the country.

Sex is a biological reality (though less static than we typically believe). Gender is wholly performative. It is what I do that defines my gender because we (society) has determined that certain behaviors define one gender and not the other (i.e., wearing makeup or liking sports). We’re become more flexible about what…

It’s like they hardly even tried. This copy/paste trolling just seems like it must have such a low payoff.
