I hate diamond rings. I think they’re tacky, and I hate everything they symbolize. Wouldn’t be caught dead.

Most people here are pretty cynical about it, but it’s really not unheard of for people to change their minds when confronted with evidence. For instance: I know a former pastor who left the clergy because his own reflections and life experiences led to him rejecting the church’s dogma.

Probably not.

I hope that pastor feels very, very bad. He deserves to. I also hope this is a lesson to him and his colleagues.

The theme song went through my head as soon as I read this. (SHOUT IT LOUD AND CLEAR!) It was on Access Network in Alberta.

In the Danish Canadian farming community my mom’s family comes from, it was was Bridge. I have no idea whether it had high social stakes or whether it was just a way to make the rural winter nights more tolerable. Cheating at any game was definite blasphemy though.

I read Bear when I was about 12 or 13. There was a copy on my parents’ massive bookshelf. This is just about the only part of the book I remember. Actually, I think I might have really just skimmed over most of the book looking for the sexy bits (SPOILER: not actually that sexy).

I had never heard of the White Girl Problems twitter until just now, and I just looked it up and hate-read it back to January 2015. It’s like, women are shallow, selfish, lazy, and mean, lol amirite??! There are references to economic privilege, although none of them are apt or funny and besides, white privilege can’t…

I figure punishment exists for people who are incapable of feeling remorse.

Presumably this would work equally well (N.B. I’m skeptical about whether this actually works at all) for dick sucking. I’m assuming they went with the cunnilingus angle because “dick snorkel” sounds like something 7th graders call each other.

My friend used to be able to effectively torment me by singing the “chew chew chew” song.

Ha, I was just thinking about that. I thought his reviews of North and Baby Geniuses are right up there too.

Furthermore, I think most people would fail miserably if asked to describe the fare system on public transit in a city they haven’t been in for a while.

I’m just gonna guess that sjukskoterska doesn’t get that there’s a difference between failing to save someone who’s already ill and directly causing their death. That’s what I’m reading in their comments anyway.

[Edited]: Wait, what are you even talking about? I don’t even know which point of view you’re taking. For the record, my comment was ironic.

But child deaths from illness are highly correlated with treatment by a doctor. HA HA EXPLAIN THAT SHEEPLE. You can’t argue with statistics!

How is this snarky?

I honestly don’t get it. Is this an “oops, I’m at the wrong wedding” prank? Are you saying it has something to do with her being fat (which was my first thought)?

You know...I never thought I’d say this, because I am a bitter misanthrope who can barely be bothered to even pretend to care about anyone’s dumb wedding. But here it is.
