Tithing was neither invented by Catholics nor is it exclusive to the Catholic church. The concept of giving 10% to God or charity is an ancient near eastern concept. In many places in the Hebrew Bible / Old Testament (including from Abraham and Jacob in Genesis) tithing is mentioned. I’m Jewish and I joke that my…

I hate when people say shit like “When you’re a parent, you’ll understand” (especially because I have a lot of close friends who are not interested in having kids). Having said that, I think I would have just found this kind of gross and more upsetting than funny, but if my 3-year-old wasn’t asleep across the hall I…
A million years ago, my mom and I had ice cream across the street from my high school, and the girl working behind the counter was my friend’s sister. My mom made a joke about how it was incredible that she could work at an ice cream parlor and not gain weight, as she was slender. My friend’s sister said that she’d…
I hate seeing women going along with this, laughing etc. How can you be that stupid? They are laughing AT you, not WITH you. You’re just a hole to these losers.
No punishment for marijuana is death. This entire line of thought is unnecessary.
In the grand scheme of Photoshopped photos I’ve encountered, these all seem minor to me. Am I missing something?
Beautiful piece. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for alerting me (and all of us!) to such a wonderful, inspiring Twitter feed. I shared it on FB and so many people loved reading his thoughts. Really incredible.
I find this gross, and I find him gross. I had to Wikipedia him, because I had no idea if he'd ever accomplished anything, and now I know for certain he has not. It makes me really sad that 2.3 MILLION PEOPLE follow this waste of flesh on Instagram. Am I being really awful? Is he actually anything redeeming that I'm…
This is terrifying. Does anyone care?
I cannot believe that my favorite New Kid is marrying that vile freak.
Isn't she wearing slippers? I wouldn't want to get them wet.
He didn't really respond. I think I apologized. Did I mention there was a lot of Percocet? But it was hilarious at the time.
I'm in a volunteer organization (Junior League) and we have an aggressively strict social media policy when it comes to kids. Even with a signed waiver, even with a parent present (such as when we do playground improvement projects, or we have "Junior Junior League" when we bring our kids to do volunteer work), we…
OMG FUNNY STORY: So when my son was eight days old we had his bris, which is the Jewish circumcision ritual. The next day, the rabbi who performed the ceremony, the moyel, came to our apartment to make sure he was healing appropriately and nothing was wrong. He basically did a diaper change, showed me how to re-apply…
I am NOT defending this and my 2-year-old had parties in our building with cakes I baked myself. Having said that, it costs upwards of $1K to have a birthday party at a kid's gym in NYC. I was priced out of every venue quickly. Sometimes they have packages that can be $25+ a kid, easy - and then you add on more…
I do not believe this is accurate. See http://theivycoach.com/ivy-league-adm…. Columbia is not "the runt of the litter" in a single category (such as acceptance rate or number of applications). Also, there have been very publicized problems at literally DOZENS of colleges, so making this all about Columbia or the Ivy…
$80K won't buy you a house in NYC. I'd say most of the weddings I've been to in the city are in that area in terms of price, but some are substantially more. Without even opining on acceptable costs, the facts of your community's norms should matter.
