This is a great example of how there's a difference between the "letter" and the "spirit" of the law, and how strict adherence to only the letter of the law can lead to incredibly stupid outcomes.

Yeah, one of my most-liked status updates was a picture of a giant roach I killed. Imagine my joy when, with a particularly dramatic swell of the music, the roach appeared between pictures of my best friend's wedding and a picture of the San Francisco skyline.

ah good to know, considering my friend just posted one, and out of all the hundreds of pictures we have taken together over the years, facebook chose to feature one of me from years ago, shitfaced with a bottle in my mouth and grabbing my own breasts (and said friend isnt even in). thx facebook.

Oh man, I'm feeling some strange things inside. I'm so confused. I've never felt this before!! Hold on, let me check something....

This feels very... 1992. I mean, it reminds me of an art project someone's therapist might have directed them to do in 1992. That might not make any sense to people who aren't old enough to remember the recovery movement. But there was a lot of this stuff around. Basically, abuse survivors and witnesses expressing all…

Speaking as a mom who has spent a crap ton of money on Legos, the kids like the sets to have specific characters. Once they've built whatever set, however, they inevitably become part of "a big bucket of legos" and get redone in a million different ways. We just have bins (and bins) of Legos and a lego table. Certain…

They still sell those, but play-sets are their bread and butter now. I think they should swap in more female mini fig heads in the city sets and releasing more female mini fig heads and hair options either in play set or as an easy stand alone option so its easier for people who want females minifigs to enhance place.

What I want to know is when did they start making legos out of liquid gold? Have you bought a set lately? $25 is about the cheapest and then they just sky rocket from there. I'll admit they have added some neat little doo-dads to the little bricks but come on. It is ridiculous how expensive they are

Why do white girls use tanning lotion? The whole point of a cultural beauty standard is that it should be unattainable for most of the population. Otherwise there's nothing to buy.

Yeah I was kinda hoping this post was going to be about how much of a fan of D&D Ice-T is. But as it turns out, he's just another FILTHY CASUAL

Sounds like an easy way to get an unsightly burn scar.

I took a class in freshman year of college called Reading the Romance. It was fantastic—we went from classic and medieval romances (what we would basically call novels today, although there was a love story component to many of them) all the way up to pick your own modern romance novel and write a short essay about…

If this is spot-on, I fear for my gender.

Even if you had surgery, if you were dropping in excess of 10% of your body weight per month, your doctor would be concerned. You should be losing no more than 5% of your body weight per month, and it's probably better to lose slower than that.

They've basically perfected crash dieting on this show. It's disgusting.

Is it just me, or was that whole "make eye contact with your former self" moment particularly crass?

Exactly. Towns along the interstate (this one happens to be one of the major routes for all businesses illegal but then there are also completely legit truckers and whatnot who stop at casino truck stops along the way) have a lot of this stuff going on. There's also the fact of the drug trade. It sounds to me like a…

I was going to say the same thing as you about why there might be a high number of prostitutes in a small town. It's definitely about the location of the town and not the town itself. (My dad was once the VD investigator for Calcasieu Parish, so I'd hear a lot about "hidden" whorehouses when I was a kid. You know,…

A major Hwy runs through the town, which is located just off of I-10. There's also a lot of petrochemical factories and oil digging in those parishes. All of those things mean that a lot of trucks pass through or nearby the town and they require a degree of short term workers (I don't know the technical term for…

Jennings has a population of around 11,000. The town covers about 10sq miles but there are people living in the area around the town as well. It's pretty rural. I wouldn't say that it seems like there is a lot more or a lot less sex work going on in Jennings than there is in any other similar town in the area. That's…

The food!
