To me, the last paragraph exemplifies why this is a good idea. It seems like they’re going out of their way to avoid saying “your immigrant ways are wrong” and instead are saying “there are the rules here. even if these rules don’t apply where you are from, they apply in Norway.”

Is it weird that I feel like this is okay? Like, it should be taught as part of language classes and middle school classes and to everyone everywhere.

It’s not, though. Pert Plus is a shampoo/conditioner combo. There’s no shampoo in Wen.

Yeah, I prefer the Satanic Temple’s tactic of circumventing all of the wait periods and useless ultrasound nonsense, etc, by saying that it all violates their religious rights. Because it reinforces the idea that women have a right to bodily autonomy that shouldn’t be based on anyone else’s religious beliefs, but on…

You do realize that even when women are getting paid to do porn, that if they say no and if they say their SAFEWORD, that the scene must come to a SCREECHING HALT? Fucking christ.

Lots of women have rape fantasies. Please remember that kink shaming is not okay, and neither acting in nor viewing videos simulating rape is an endorsement of actual rape.

As someone who was abused by a prominent member of the BDSM community and deleted my social media accounts because I couldn’t handle seeing him praised as a “feminist”, I’m awed by Stoya’s bravery. I hope she gets all the support she deserves.

I would have thought Colonel Sanders would be a breast man.

This is only tangentially a food story, but it ends up in a Starbucks, so there you go.

Your SO was in the right to not say anything. Her job is not to monitor what could be construed as inappropriate unless she is being threatened.

My old roommate was a nurse. We lived down the street from our city’s main hospital, and we wanted another roommate to help out with rent. She was not the most ideal roommate for my best friend, but I liked her enough that one Sunday afternoon we walked down to the gas station to pick up some 40s so we could day drink…

I agree that it should definitely be the responsibility of a server making less than $3 per hour to ensure that two adults don’t do anything ridiculously stupid after drinking too much at a restaurant.

I love the idea that he wasn’t supposed to call the police on people about to endanger those around them.

There is more than one way to lose a mom. /js

Now just imagine the shit they’ve been getting away with all these years, especially in areas with a lot of minorities. Can you imagine what it was like for a black person in dealing with a cop in the South in the 1950’s if this is what it’s like now?

Two things: “Innocent until proven guilty” and “libel lawsuits.” That’s why the words “appearing to assault” are in the story.

Virginia is just Florida with worse beaches.

People are the worst, but here is a cat hugging a toy.

The Reuben one reminded me of a story Terry Pratchett told. He said that one jet-lagged evening he accidently asked for Three Mile Island dressing for his salad. The waitress didn’t say a word, just brought him Thousand Island dressing and a bottle of hot sauce.

Boys, when you’ve been rejected, and your friend at the bar suggests getting over it with a couple of shots, this is not what they mean.
