I reminded my wife the Winter Olympics were coming up, and she got excited because they feature "more wiping out" than the Summer Olympics. So...no, it's not just you.

I think I got one of those when I used to submit stuff to publishers.

Yes! Also, "um, Hamlet didn't say that..."

Can you imagine a regular submitting something like this to a publishing house and even getting the courtesy of a stock rejection? Anybody left out there who still thinks we live in a meritocracy that rewards people for hard work and talent?

"Hipster Jesus" was the first thing that crossed my mind as well.

Christ this reads like an early 2000s high school student's AIM profile.

You suffer for your craft, Kate Dries.

I didn't know that the bastard child of Jesus and John Lennon was into modeling...

Snood, you say?

I'm the same. Anything this ridiculous over-the-top merits a shrug from me. The misogyny is surface-level, but so is the extremely low opinion of men. This isn't dangerous, just sad and stupid.

Yeah, I'm kind of... ehhh about the show. I watch because I like Coulson. Skye is meh. May has a few glimmers (and she's my SIL's friend, so I want to root for Ming-Na Wen...)

The first time I ever went skiing (I'm from the southern South, I had only ever seen snow, like, twice before high school) I had this idea that skiing = ski jumping, and I was absolutely TERRIFIED. This gif basically summarizes how I thought my first trip down the slope would end. So I asked my friend/instructor,…

Agree x10,000,000,000 — what they did is inexcusable, really.

Children of the Internet! Of BBS! My kin. I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me. A day may come when the courage of non-trolls fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship, but it is not this day. An hour of MRAs and shattered servers when the Age of Forums comes…

You can call it what you want but I work I've worked on the insurance side and now the hospital administration side and it is changing the way healthcare is delivered in this country. In my hospital alone infection rates have declined 20% because the carrot/stick provisions of the ACA. Thats just one of the many…

But not all of us are Level 8, or have taken naps in Borneo.

Just... trust the process.

Yup. Normally I'm very against using the "slippery slope" argument, but in this case it actually is scary. If Hobby Lobby wins this case, and then in the future a company whose CEO belongs to a religion that, say, believes women shouldn't drive decides to only hire men because the jobs include travel... Is that then…

Never... they don't believe in birth control.
