No - regulation of marriage is one of the "implied powers" that states get because it's not listed in the Constitution. NOW, if the federal government were to propose and amendment to the Constitution, they could then offer federal licenses, however that takes 2/3 of both the House and the Senate, and then 3/4 of the…

Lindy, my love for you increased a thousandfold with your employment of a David Mitchell gif.
I dunno how that one ever passed me by. I think my work computer might have an anus filter.
It is my second-favorite headline I've ever written, after:
Gwyneth Paltrow, that's who. Thanks for all the advice! I also have narrow feet, so I worry the boy's stuff would be too wide, but I'll look up those insoles. I also love vintage styles in general, so I'll consider Etsy more often. I usually can find size 5 shoes online so I ain't complaining much, there's just no…
Beautifully crafted headline as always, Lindy.

Not gonna lie one of my best memories is of a girl at my old job begging to go home because of stomach bug of course being told no way once she got a whiff of the tuna she puked on the line and then sat down on the floor and puked violently in a trash can for like 20min. All during the lunch rush, asshole manager had…
That's the thing: it ISN'T deliberate malice. It's something much, much worse: de-sensitized apathy and a ground-in tendency to turn off your basic empathy for your fellow man.
When was it, again, that Americans were successfully indoctrinated into believing that being rich was evidence of good character and being poor was evidence of a failure of character? Like, we honestly seem to believe that all poor people wake up in the morning and decide "Yep, I'll be lazy and stay poor today."
That's what you get when you live in a country with no mandatory paid sick leave. That vomit smell? That's the smell of freedom, buddy. 'Murica.
Can't an argument be made that it's physical abuse?
