That is a porkpie. Not the same thing at all.

It's not even solely in the US. I have been working for a huge bank in Germany for 8 years. They gave me bonuses, but at the same time they told me I had to get my sales up or else. when I asked for a rise, they told me that If I am not happy, I should leave. I had the best grades (98 of 100) for my banking bachelor,…

Howard Stern is the worst

Actually, UNLV is just the Rebels. Only the basketball team is known as the Running Rebels. But they chose the name because of the north/south battles in the state, which still continue. Everyone else in Nevada thinks the state would be great if we could just lop Las Vegas off and leave them with California or…

seriously

For people who haven't followed this and don't understand the controversy (or, in the alternative, think that "Redskin" isn't a slur, it was a different time, this is PC run amok, it was never intended in a bad way, etc. etc.) please read up on George Preston Marshall, who bought the team when they were known as the…

My whole family is scattered below the Mason-Dixon, so I'm aware that Yankee is not a compliment some of the time. But it's not racist, and, as I said in another comment, white people calling each other names is not the same thing as using slurs that connect to centuries of genocide.

Other opponents of Slate's decision have pointed out that "yankee" has been used as a pejorative term.

That last sentence should actually say, "Other racists have pointed out that 'yankee' has been used as a pejorative term," because are you fucking serious.

Ditto to this. My live-in fiance and I slept in separate bedrooms at my parents house until we were legally married. It was never a big deal. Their house, their rules. I was actually super uncomfortable the first time I visited his parents, because they had ONE bedroom ready for us.

That's where I am with it. When my bf visits he sleeps in the guest room, and I sleep in my childhood room. I wouldn't feel super comfortable having sex in either bed (I slept in one as a kid and my grandparents sleep in the other when they visit, not exactly H O T)

Yeah, this seems more along the lines of normal. It's one thing to be open and honest about sex and boundaries with your child and a whooole 'nother thing to supervise conjugal visits.

This is how it works at my house when I am visiting (I don't live at home), and I am in my mid-20s. It just makes everyone more comfortable. No one minds that I'm sexually active but it's just too weird if my parents were to be "cool parents."

Cooked garlic has its uses, of course. I wouldn't sock a bunch of raw garlic into, like, Sunday tomato sauce or something. But, pesto benefits from the sharpness of the raw stuff. It's better this way.

1. She seems to have a pretty sweet life, so no judgement here.

Can I ask a (somewhat snarky) question to smokers? A lot of smokers I know would NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER throw a piece of trash on the ground. They would hate the people who do it, they would pick it up, they would talk shit.

I laughed so goddamned hard at the title of this piece. I could just HEAR Crissle saying "Stop playing. You know you lying." accompanied by some major side-eye.

Honestly from where I'm sitting it feels like at least 40% of white Americans are still at the point of happily admitting they don't have any black friends.

Wow, it would be cheaper to just rent an actual storage unit and live in it, with the side benefit of never, ever meeting this lovely couple.

It's only hypocrisy if you're a flaming idiot, bro.
