Straight white guy here. No - we pretty much suck. Especially if you take us in aggregate over the last 500 years. Most problems are caused by us, or at least made worse by us.

On behalf of my corner of the species, I'm sorry.

6 comments down., there it is. I was curious how many I'd read before I came to one blaming the mother.

So what?

It's aimed at obese adults with a BMI over 40 (gee, I love that we're still treating BMI like a legitimate measurement of fitness or obesity) as an alternative to weight-loss surgery.

Does every soccer story need to have 10000 comments about how this sport will never gain popularity in America because of all the whining/flopping? First, slow motion makes the dramatics seem a lot worse than it already is. Second and more importantly, soccer doesn't gain popularity because we aren't good at it. If we…

I'm not mad at him. It will be great regardless, just like season one was. But I just wish SOMEONE would give us a show in this vein where female heroes are allowed to be as complicated as Rust and Marty.

One time when I was a teen I got high with one of my friends and we followed around this woman because we thought she was a witch because she was carrying a staff and dressed in a black trench coat with black makeup and wearing a weird hat but then I went up to her and asked her if she was a witch and she told me she…

This is now a hilarious joke I want to play on my siblings with my nieces/nephews.
