Isn’t the obvious answer that it's their neighbor? My phone frequently thinks I'm within a half block of my actual address.
I understand people are severely attached to their phones, but it seems like a horrible idea to confront a supposed phone thief face to face at their home. What do you think is going to happen? They’re going to kindly apologize and hand it back in original condition?
“I get the impression that the South Korean government would like this to go away as well.”
Well, the whole time he was talking about the poltergeist, I was thinking about 10th grade English and how we called that the Houdini. I probably said almost exactly the same words Amy did and I’m pretty sure she didn’t plagiarize me...
Yeah. I know. ...I actually woke up the other day and realized I would be for regulation of the internet if it prevented 10 year olds from thinking that sex done right means the woman cries as she’s choked during forceful, unwilling oral sex. At least back when everything was in print there were gatekeepers, even just…
If Colbert really cares about examining his white privilege he could try diversifying his all-white, mostly male writing staff.
It’s also interesting that Colbert is feeding him questions that I’m sure he already knows the answers to. I think it’s brave of Colbert to play devil’s advocate for the audience in this way because it can be easily interpreted as him being ignorant/ignorantly racist. I think this issue must be very important to him…
To me white privilege is simple as this...A white person can be successful in this country without having to really interact with people of color. They can go to a majority white (high & college) school and not have to know a person of color or even have a teacher or coach that is a person of color, get a job at a…
One of the basic tenets of changing people’s beliefs is that if you try to convince someone who believes “1" that they need to believe “10", it doesn’t work. In fact, it backfires - they usually cement further into their end of the spectrum. But if you try to convince someone who is a “1" that they should believe “3",…
She did a stupid thing, or at least a probably very drunk thing, and that is “on her.” (Do you feel she was suitably punished?)
It’s completely tragic. I pulled the same crap when I was 21. I lived in upstate New York. I was also completely toxic to my poor unfortunate significant other and would get absolutely plastered, get pissed when he tried to control me, and storm off into the snowbanks. Luckily my friends were amazing, caring…
I went to college in Maine. If someone wanders off, you always check to make sure they’re not passed out in a snowbank.
Fighting or no, when a friend goes out like that, you follow and bring them back. Or at least take them a coat if you can’t get them back in.
This is really fucking heartbreaking to me.
I’ll never forget when I was dating this man three years ago and one day he proceeded to get strangely aggressive toward me and controlling. I looked him in the eye, tried my best not to look scared and proceeded as normal with cooking, and he backed off of his “weird mood.” But I felt like I escaped something. Then…
Please. I have a nice job and a nice, old apartment that doesn’t have a dishwasher. Haven’t had one for 6 years. Not having a dishwasher is not a deprivation unless you’re a spoiled brat.
Ugh. As a small business owner and a person who does a large quantity of shopping online - stop!
Or what he could have done is go to a brick and mortar store, try those items, see which one he liked and then order it online instead of going through the whole rigamarole of repackaging the ones he didn't want, driving to the post office, and pay for return shipping. Seems too much of a headache in and of itself.
You're the reason why things are expensive...
