"Saying a lunchbox is a trigger for bullying is like saying a short skirt is a trigger for rape. It's flawed logic. It doesn't make any sense."

As long as you don't try to eat or smoke your belt you're fine.

This makes me really sad. She was always so vivacious and had such an amazing career. It breaks my heart whenever I learn that someone is suffering so much, that the only option is out. I feel for her family and loved ones. Just tragic.

i couldn't parse it until i looked closer at the tail. that was what did it for me.

You do not invite half of a couple to a wedding. Repeat: you do NOT invite half of a couple to a wedding. Every major wedding etiquette guide says this, repeatedly, Emily Post is the most readily accessible in case anyone doubts this. It is exceedingly rude, as the one getting married, to deprive a person of their…

Eh. The response is sort of right on the first one, but no. This isn't some random fling of the week, this is a significant other of five years—— a SO who is friendly with the bride and groom. Throw into that the fact that they did go ahead and invite some randoms? No, sir.

So someone not being violently raped somehow makes any argument they have against a system that "tortures" people for "justice!" is wrong?

I agree with your sentiment supporting unions. The ironic thing here though is that, as a general rule, police have very little working class solidarity, are usually more than happy to assist in breaking up a strike or protest, even over labor disputes.

"FORCIBLE RAPE"

Ugh. Grab you a barf bag because this is going to be spectacularly bad. A friend of mine linked to a MRA style post after the Detroit cop/monster report which basically said something along the line that most domestic violence calls are just bullshit for attention and now it looks like it is trolling for "sex" as…

Every time I read the words "forcible rape"

Yep. This afternoon on a conservative radio show they were talking about this exact story, and it was the usual, "Oh, see, this is what happens! I guess now I can marry my car! I guess now I can marry my cat!" etc. etc. The liberals are ruining America! Funny how it turns out that this story didn't even happen in the…

I completely agree. You aren't crazy.

I just posted similar, asking if it's just me. We don't free ourselves from it (the societal crush to prove your human worth by finding a man, any man, my married friends have told me "it doesn't matter who you marry") by doing it their ritual. I hope I'm articulating myself, I think it's like posting a "post no…

It rubs me the wrong way because it's just more ammunition for homophobes to use in the "if gays can marry then people will be able to start marrying animals" argument.

Not silly. Not alone. I agree.

I feel like there's no good way to end that sentence. Unless it's "Obviously I'm not a scientist, but wouldn't hoverboards be super rad to have in real life already?"

Legit excuse. Particularly on a DST time switch week...

i don't even think it's photoshop, it looks like they let a 4 year-old cut up her photo. i mean, i could do a better job in the dark and those awful leftie scissors which are somehow the only ones you can find when all the other scissors in the office go missing.

I hesitated to even click on this. My heart plummeted at the title alone. This is so awful and so sad. How do these things still happen? I'm aware of the reasons, yes, but I CANNOT UNDERSTAND. I JUST DO NOT GET IT. My heart goes out to their friends and family, especially their little boy. I hope you all find peace,…
