Hello! Cis-gendered straight white man here to save the internet with this breaking news:

Ha ha totally.

Look out! You are about to have a Libertarian Rand-splain to you why free market dogma means employers are allowed into your hoo-hoo. Just a warning.

Isn't "Black People not amused by White People" a meme now?

You really should, aside from the insane meta-tricks the author uses it's also a completely super creepy story, multiple stories interwoven really. I can't recommend it enough.

Agh you beat me to it! I'll just put this here then.

Looks like other commenters are pretty skeptical that this could be an effective street lamp, as am I.

Mescal is that incredibly hot latin guy with long hair and stubble, who's breath reeks of a pack-a-day smoking habit so you have to make up some excuse why you have to leave.

20 minutes into your first date Midori admits he's gay and only agreed to go out with you to keep his mom happy.

Maker's Mark has read every book by Michael Chabon and his favorite tv show is Mad Men. He doesn't quite pull off the tweed coat with elbow patches and works an 8 to 5 job as an account manager for a tech company.
