I was thinking the same thing, all children everywhere should be taught about consent and respect.

Is it weird that I feel like this is okay? Like, it should be taught as part of language classes and middle school classes and to everyone everywhere.

“Men have weaknesses and when they see someone smiling it is difficult to control,”

Oh goodness, I don’t know what you’ve read, so here are my top recs: Villette and Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë, Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë, Middlemarch and The Mill On the Floss and Daniel Deronda by George Eliot, North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell, David Copperfield and Our Mutual Friend by Charles Dickens, …

Upset Nome court:

Every time an article from Jez gets cross-posted on Gawker, I wake up to hundreds of awful comments. I dismiss them, but the reminder of how angry/offended people get about something as innocuous as say, Ina Garten, is enough that if Jez does get folded into Gawker, I will no longer be commenting.

So io9 and Gizmodo just merged after months of many stories being cross-posted between them per day.

ITS LINDSAY

A friend tried to set me up with a guy who’d just graduated from Moody. We were already on a group outing with the dude when she told me, so I had to figure out how to convey, “What about me indicates I would be interested in someone who went to Bible college?” using only facial expressions. It was rough.

“Flood my guts” just might be the grossest thing I’ve read today. In this bleak and vile cesspool that is the internet, that’s downright impressive. I’m not sure what the prize is, but you win it.

“the recent grad of Moody Bible Institute” is “serious about finding himself a woman,” but he’ll be keeping things PG until a special gal puts a ring on it. Renoe “says he’s still going to wait for his honeymoon to tear up his v-card.”

I said the same thing (and I kinda like the song too).

Alcohol.

I’m introverted and have always dated extroverts to balance me out. New guy is extremely introverted but once we got over the awkward pauses, we are now equals in conversation unlike with the extroverts who always dominated conversations. It's worth s try! (But def need to give it a few more dates before calling it).

Oh I’ve been there. I dated a guy who was beloved by absolutely everyone who knew him, was the life of the party everywhere we went... and it was comfortable for me because I would always hide behind him in social occasions. It was easier in that regard, but he was a jerk and we really didn’t love each other. When I…

I’m late to to the party again. I am the kind of person who hooked up with everybody in my 20’s. There was literally no filter. If you flirted with me we were at least gonna kiss. I ended up bringing a terrible youngish grateful dead loving man child to our annual holiday bash.We drunkenly hooked up and the next…

Also, I’m a horrible roommate.

One company party lead off auspiciously when, within the first half-hour, I fell down the stairs of the restaurant and knocked over a candle, setting a small section of the table on fire. This, however, did not stop my urge to down expensive alcohols on the company dime.
