I think it is. I’ve lived in the NYC metro area, but also in much more rural areas in PA, and you can see the difference quite clearly. None of my PA friends are atheist or even agnostic, though not all of them go to church every week. Very few of my NYC friends have seen the inside of a church in a decade. Otherwise,…

No. No we do not.

ugh, that sounds uncomfortable! No way would I do that.

The man was not subsequently shot by police.

Oh, I hadn’t thought of that! I’ll look into it and see if there’s an up-charge.

Wow! Mine’s a BIT more flexible than that - they work with a specific baker, and we may be charged a bit extra for what we want, but we can technically have anything the bakery can do.

“Editorial Freedom”???

OMG! Go with the pizza option! That’s AMAZING.

Ack! Toddler going after scissors, razors and poisonous chemicals? If that lady had had any reaction BUT that I’d call her negligent at best, and an outright danger to her child at worst.

IMHO, it’s pretty simple: if the restaurant is for kids (ie, Red Robin, Friendly’s, whatever), then they should be there, with unending patience. That’s actually the perfect training ground for them. Let them learn how to behave in a restaurant there, and if anyone doesn’t like their tantrums, then they can go…

Read the paper through, which the author here doesn’t seem to have. In the last paragraph:

I’m going to be 100% honest: the ONLY time I will watch your wedding video is the day of the wedding, when I’m still high on the wedding endorphins (and liquor) and I just want to be teary and romantic about everything.

Wow. That takes it from harmlessly hilarious to just plain cruel.

I could agree in many cases, but here, Young clearly meant for information to come out after she no longer had to feel the social repercussions; otherwise, she wouldn’t have arranged for her memoirs to be published posthumously. The fact that she deliberately publicly admitted that Gable was Judy’s father only after…

I’ve known a few guys like that, too! Whether it was me or one of my friends hitting on them, they weren’t interested unless all parties involved were sober.

How does one take away the agency of a woman 15 years dead?

I must be so naive, because when you first said “his friend ended up taking her home” I thought you mean took her to her house so she could sleep it off, not took advantage of her himself. Because surely the majority of guys would see what was wrong and do the right thing in that kind of situation.

A bad band can definitely kill a mood! My fiance and I were recently at a beautiful, very upscale wedding with a mostly-decent band. Even though they got through most songs OK, but absolutely wrecked a few, and those 3 or 4 songs (and the way everyone lost interest in dance floor as they sang them) are the only thing…

There are no words for this. The siblings are to be kept away from each other as much as possible? And their mother? This is cruelty, plain and simple.

Did they consent to this testing? If not, how were the DNA samples obtained? What are the ethical implications (not to mention accuracy)? More importantly, since TNA has no ethics, what are the implications of more reputable sources picking this story up? Should Gawker & their sub-domains be seen as reputable or…
