don't shoes have a practical use? i don't want to walk on glass and garbage and dog shit.

This just underscores my feelings that (many) kids shouldn't have unfettered access to the internet. They simply don't yet have the ability to understand the long-term consequences of their actions, and unfortunately, too many parents now use the internet the same way the parents of my generation used TV — as an…

I think somebody doesn't understand sarcasm. Or maybe you are having a bad day. Hope it's the first. :)

I gave zero shits about my wedding (marriage >>> wedding) but OTHER PEOPLE went haywire and kept getting angry at me because I was too chill about it. Is that even a thing??

That attitude is incredibly entitled and greedy. Are you seriously saying if you can't afford a gift, don't go to the wedding? Sorry (not sorry) but that's bullshit. Weddings are not about gifts. They're about having the people you care about witness a commitment to another person. Gifts were originally about helping…

I disagree. A marriage isn't about getting gifts, it's about publicly declaring your commitment. If I have broke friends, I'm just happy they made time to show up.

I wouldn't even bother to say no, I'd just go in my own clothes.

Has anyone ever tried to do a Kickstarter for a wedding? 'Cause that's basically what some of these brides are trying to negotiate.

Assume no one gives a shit about your wedding.

Brides are awful but I think the bridal parties are also growing in insanity. I'm dealing with a maid of honor right now for a friend's wedding who is HELLBENT on getting the bridal party to dress in slutty Marie Antoinette costumes for the Marie Antoinette themed bridal shower.

I went to one of those (second wedding for both bride and groom) and honestly it was cool as hell. Whoever your partner is, y'all do y'all and forget what anyone else might think!

So, this is only tangentially connected, but what is the general consensus of a "potluck" wedding? Like, you're poor, you want to invite a bunch of friends to come celebrate in your back yard, and you ask people to bring some eats or booze instead of a pricey gift. Is this weird/does it violate the concept of "if you…

You need to work on your understanding of how the law works.

ALL sexual contact with 8 year olds is considered rape, because little kids can't consent to sex.

If you can't understand that, this guy will break it down for you

So basically he's a survivor of childhood sexual assault. Unfortunately, like many male victims of childhood rape by an older woman or girl, he reframes it as a sign of how "macho" he is, rather than the assault it actually was.

I don't think this shows how he himself is unpleasant (though of course he really is quite the unpleasant person), but rather that he has internalized what was statutory rape.

WOOSH!

What is it these days that so many people take seriously tongue-in-cheek posts?

Contrary to the opinion of your critic, you do not suck at all at sarcasm. Sadly, some people suck at getting sarcasm.

Was that Sinead O'Connor in the audience passing out some more helpful advice?

Today is the Blessing of the Animals, nothing to to with dirt bag but you gotta see this picture..
