Additionally, safe to eat does not mean safe for the environment. As pointed out in another thread, GMOs that increase yield, reduce waste, reduce water, etc. are way different than ‘Round-up ready’ GMO that lets you dump toxins into the water supply.

Yeah, this comes up all the time for me even with friends as I know folks from all over the economic spectrum. One half of a couple I know has been unemployed for several years; I always let them pick the restaurant and even still they often share an entree. (I do treat sometimes but know it makes them uncomfortable…

I have to raise my voice BECAUSE YOU JUST WON’T LISTEN!!!

I also think the person who picks the venue (so often the inviter) should be prepared to pay. First, if I pick the venue I can make sure it’s somewhere I can afford, even for two; second, just because it’s affordable for me doesn’t mean it’s affordable for everyone. Of course, if I was a broke student and got invited…

When I was young I was terrified of growing up to be a husband who abused his wife. I didn’t understand how someone could hurt someone they love, and my parents — likely not having much more understanding than I did — were not able to offer an adequate explanation. They told me something to the effect of “Sometimes…

It always cracked me up when Jefferson & John Adams were going thru their “I fucking hate your guts, you back-stabbing, intellectually stunted traitor fuck” friends’ quarrells and would always sign their insulting letters to each other along the lines of, “I remain as ever, your humblest and most obedient servant.”

Yup. Get up early, read for an hour or two when there are no distractions, then walk the dog and start the day.

I specifically get up early on weekdays so I have about 30-45 minutes to basically do nothing (eat breakfast, watch YouTube, check out Deadspin) before my daughter wakes up and the real work begins. Glad to know I'm not the only one who enjoys this time for that reason. 

I love waking up early on weekends because it is the best time to do stupid, time-wasting activities like video games absolutely guilt free. And also I can make pancakes.

I’m a verifiable Morning Person; my most productive time is 7:30- 10:30 am*, and I hate those horrible people who talk about getting up before the sun and churning out bench presses or miles or whatever and then getting a shower before most people have woken up. Because I know how utterly miserable I feel at 10pm when…

I mean, we have literal evidence that Snyder can’t see the forest for the trees. 

Poor, poor Jason Mendoza. He must be despondent, inconsolable right now.

BORTLES!

At this point, I don’t think a defense, an offense, and some rule changes could even help this team.

fortunately, the bus they threw him under was parked

I agree re: Real. Inter (which represents international, a fitting moniker for a city like Miami) and United (a representation of unity in some historic uses, or a post-merger addition in others) are not completely egregious, because they can apply to US teams...

Hi! Sorry your experience at Jezebel was less than perfect. We’re working on correcting the typo, and we’d like to invite you and your friends back, on the house. Thanks for bringing this to our attention!

This evening, my friends and I wanted to really experience the feminist side of the internet so we went to Jezebel. There aren’t enough words to describe how awful it was.

Sunshine is fucking wonderful

Sunshine was why I was happy with the casting.
