Yup, I live in the Detroit area. Let’s just say I have some very...strong thoughts about that subject.

I’m sorry, did you say ugly? Cuz I think...

shut up, its everything i ever wanted it

literally WHEN can i move in

“Hey, Amazon sucks, but if we can make 4% commission on a product they sell to our readers, we’d be stupid not to!”

Nope. By offering goods and services at a better price and in a convenient way. Revolutionizing the business, innovating, and getting people what they want. Hate all day, but the monster that is Amazon is of our making.

Man, you say a host of really dumb shit on here, but this by far may be the dumbest.

Tom, should you focus on his penis when his balls are the real story? I understand the confusion since there’s not a vas deferens between the two.

Oh my god. A man at my work constantly calls me “young lady.” He would die if I called him an old man. I need to give this all some serious thought.

To be fair, it IS standard to refer to people on the congress floor as “the gentleman from Iowa” or “the lady from Tennessee,” it’s just part of the decorum of the chamber. But, that is definitely not how he was using it. He was using it as “young lady, you better go get those sandwiches ready while the real men do

Can you imagine the explosion of outrage had Jayapal called that idiot “old man”? She would have received whatever the Congressional equivalent of tarring and feathering is. Either that or they’d be calling for a witch burning.
