Being from Florida, any kind of standing water is a definite no-go area. I understand that the family was from Nebraska and didn’t know, but I can assure you that the water in any manmade lake in Florida is brackish, murky, smelly, and has lots of bugs. I do not understand what would compel someone to go into that…

The sad thing is that Florida people know that you just don’t enter a body of water except your own bathtub without taking substantial risk. I wonder if “No Swimming” was an adequate warning? Maybe people think it’s about liability or just a hotel rule? Even wading stirs the water up.

Well that's your fault for not authorizing it. God damn bureaucrats taking their time authorizing crap.

Or we can accept what the rest of the world does about appropriation: Not giving a shit as long as we’re not being disrespectful about it.

Wow, she really is entering her Miss Havesham phase, isn’t she? “Look here, Pip: these low-cut Frankie B jeans accompanied me to many a society soirée in days gone by. I was the toast of the ball. Everyone envied me. I danced and danced. I looked so pretty in them. Here! Here’s a photo of me. Do you think I look…

No healthy foods come in plastic wrappers. Plain and simple.

If you think the alpha-beta nomenclature is accurate, you should stop hanging out on MRA boards and go interact with people in the real world. I mean, good lord, look at this nonsense paragraph you just wrote:

Jezebel is a biblical figure, and a term with myriad historical meanings. It is also not a term in frequent use in our current lexicon. It makes for an interesting name but it’s not really applicable to modern discussions of feminism.

Will and Douhat may be assholes, but they’re right that the GOP needs to block Trump’s nomination using the party rules available. The structures in our constitution that moderate the direct rule of the masses - the Supreme Court, the electoral college, bicameral legislature, checks and balances and all that - exist…

I feel so much rage.

aaa ha ha ha ha ha haaaaaaa its good to be an Atheist. Not that I ever read the Bible as a scifi book.

I don’t know. I think once you get to the point of the story where the model, who is rapidly aging out of the only industry she’s ever known, meets the elderly single(?) billionaire, any similarities to her father, her brother, her childhood shar pei with a skin condition, or whoever, can likely be chalked up to…

Whose bad choices, asshole? You seem to be conflating their choice not to wear a seatbelt while driving around at 4am with their living situations, which they have no say in. You could not be more transparent. You’re literally quoting passages of their family sobbing, devastated, and you decide to give everyone a Very…

Doubt you’d be okay with your 15-year-old getting a tattoo. All the reasons why are the problems it indicates. In general kids who are “doing the right thing and going somewhere” don’t have tattoos in 9-10th grade.

NONONO don’t move to Florida ;)!

It sounds silly, but have you tried just asking? Consent is sexy.

My favorite bad first date story comes from my brother: When the bill came, he went to pay but realized he had forgotten his wallet. She had taken public transportation to get there, so he offered to give her a ride home so she didn’t have to get back on the bus that night, which she accepted. When they got where he…

Whoever is trying to make the romper happen needs to be taken behind the barn.

Or maybe people just don’t like being judged in that way. If I were on a date and someone said that to me in the middle of dinner I would honestly get up, walk out without paying, and leave them to find their own way home, and I’d expect them to do the same. After all, if I have no value then they don’t need me to pay…
