Yeah but you might get to star in a NFL ad-campaign.

My wife who coordinates weddings likes to bet with her coworker during the receptions on whether the couples that day are going to be cake smashers or not.

Depends on the crowd and the Bride/Groom. I would find it funny if someone else did that, I would never do that (but I don’t want to be the fucking center of attention any more than necessary anyway).

I don’t think we need to make that excuse for her. What if she is just a shitty person, who wants to be a victim. She’s living a completely fabricated lie because she thinks it’s advantageous and gets her the attention she wants. There’s no reason for us to think that these haven’t been cognizant and calculated…

She used to post as Fresh Beets, now Three Fifths Compromise.

UH-OH

WE HAVE FOUND RAFFEY.

Can I get odds on her being a Jez comentor who stars all the ‘lol white people’ comments.

Engineers are notoriously horrible at relating to and communicating with normal people.

If I may, I think what she is saying is that all those feelings you have are multiplied by 1000 for women in the corporate world. The odds of you succeeding with your insecurities are much greater than a woman with the same feelings. I believe that’s the gist of her comment.

i think about every white male boss i ever had and i have to wonder; this was REALLY the best guy they could get for this? him? really?

As a guy who has a lot of those same feelings about himself, its kind of frustrating to read stuff like this. Like being a guy is some magical reservoir of self esteem where we’re all these hyper-successful alpha type-A personality people just high fiving each other to the top without a care in the world.

Cmon, man... city parks? City parks are a public good which are free for the entire population of a city. There are dozens of actual, tangible benefits before even getting into intangibles like “do they make people happy”.

OK.... but what about all those fans who’s teams don’t win championships? Government does not exist to subsidize billionaires - to the tune of tens and hundreds of millions - so that a (very vocal) minority has the opportunity at some feel-good. Most the populace in a given city doesn’t give a shit about sports. We…

The strangest part of all this is that if any city benefits from the intangibles that the Coyotes bring, it’s Phoenix, not Glendale. All the benefits accrue to the metropolitan area, not whichever suburb won the unfortunate right to actually host the team’s arena. Which is why the fighting within a metropolitan area…

In a binary world where only a publicly subsidized sports team can have those same benefits, sure, this makes sense.

My MIL’s friend is getting remarried in August. They’re both in their 50s, have fully grown children, two homes full of crap and they have a wedding registry. IT’S HUGE. Four different stores!!! And it’s full of ridiculously expensive shit, like a $700 sous vide machine (not joking). My MIL has “forbidden” me from…

My exact thought! You made this movie, it was called Legally Blonde. Well, not in France, where I saw it dubbed. There the title translated to “Blonde, and so what!”
