Clueless American here, so feel free to point out how I’m wrong - but this strikes me as some men (Boris, Nigel, etc) made a big mess then walked away, leaving it for the women to clean up.

Well now it’s kinda self-correcting because of the old “fool me once” routine... as a scientist, all you really have is your reputation, and tarnishing it is a one way trip. You cannot get back that trust, and it’s going to haunt you for the rest of your career. I can guarantee you that the only investors who would be…

The amount of cognitive dissonance going on there is staggering.

“being a lawyer”

Stalkers of the past weren’t as entitled. That one dude who wanted to marry Jodie Foster at least tried to woo her by attempting to assassinate the president. This guy just expects to show up at the house, turn on the waterworks and hopes she'll say yes? Step up your game, dude.

A deranged man who believes he is entitled to a woman is actually the most realistic about all of this in my opinion.

Nope, because that would mean that Adam “Calvin Harris” Wiles would then have to do a cover of “Everytime,” and I’ll have exactly none of it.

I can’t believe I never thought of it that way. It makes me think about my own career track, counseling. In my program I will have to have 1. 32 hours of sessions video taped and reviewed by a professor for the practicum

ha this is how I am too. We have central air, but the sensor is weird and only really air conditions the living room (which we don’t use much) and the dining room. Our bedroom gets hot during the night and I’m pregnant so I have been turning the air wayyyy down to like 72. At first it’s like cold cold because it’s…

i have NO DESIRE to ever live in a post apocalypse world. i’ll lay on the street and let the zombies take me. i dont even like camping

I actually keep my AC set at, like, 74. It’s enough to suck the humidity out and keep my apartment from becoming an oven, but otherwise keeps my place from turning into a giant icebox.

I know I’m spoiled. And if there is ever an apocalypse - zombie or otherwise - I need to go first because I can’t live in a world without AC.

I accept your apology and hope that you and your air conditioner are very happy together.

I think people grossly overestimate how trained police are with firearms. Of all of the things police get annual training on, firearms proficiency and lawful use of force training, don’t get as much time as ordinary citizens thing they should.

It is clear to me after watching these videos of police using deadly force…

It’s funny I was JUST thinking about that article yesterday because I decided a fan (not a ceiling fan but a normal floor blowy one) is better than an AC provided you are standing directly in front of it.

Good. The Universe is punishing you for your blasphemy.

UPDATE: my new air conditioner broke in the box.

We are here for you, honey.

I’m very glad that we don’t have general elections this year.

I often wonder why liberals can’t help themselves to postulate these bullshit false equivalencies, even though anyone who has travelled the world a bit well knows that the situation of women in any random Western country is several generations of progress removed from the situation of women in any random Middle…
