It was her quinceañera.

I’m gathering the prosecution thought otherwise. They wanted to use testimony from Porter’s trial in the other cases so they must have been pretty confident of a conviction. Without having seen the evidence myself and only having news reports to go off of, I thought Mosby overcharged Porter. Sometimes a hung jury is…

PG County would be ideal, for at least one party.

the defense basically said the BPD doesn’t give a fuck, and because they don’t give a fuck for anyone, their lack of fucks for Freddie Gray was not criminal.

It appears all of them.

Probably on the issue of whether or not he was guilty of the charges.

As someone who is sort of 25 going on 12, I kind of read “adulting” as pointing to the dissonance between what we thought “adult” meant as kids, and what it ends up meaning once you get there....

Like in a lot of cases “adult” is a performance just like anything else. I have to attend a conference for my work this…

Dolly Parton is a goddamn national treasure.

Jesus. I’m 34 and grew up with Star Wars. I went to see the updated films in theaters in the 90’s. I cut school to see the first showing of Phantom Menace having bought the tickets 3 weeks in advance. I have the original VHS box set that I am NEVER getting rid of since it’s the BEST version. And I wasn’t the only girl…

I’m convinced Walmart accidentally ordered a few thousand too many green lights and made up this whole green-lights-for-soldiers thing to unload them.

Besides, folks will just think you’re trying to be Daisy Buchanan

Before I read - Dear fellow parents, If your asshole kid is chasing chickens at the pumpkin patch, it is your job to stop them and explain why it’s wrong. It is not your job to stand there with your gross Timmie’s coffee, laughing and taking pictures on your phone. Add goats, baby donkeys, geese, etc. to that as well.

Yeah, I was thinking the same way — “ugly” in this context is applied equally to both sexes. At least in my grandmother’s house.

This is horrible and ridiculous, but I feel I should point out (as someone who grew up in the south) that usually the word “ugly” in this context just means that one’s attitude/behavior is bad. Ugly on the inside, not the outside.

This is by who’s account? In every single experience I have had flying they would allow someone who needed assistance to board first. If that person shows up in the middle of the boarding process, they ask them to wait. I find it hard to believe, it sounds made up to get the most sympathy, if you ask me.

they are trying to put one in canton too... its nasty over there

I think it was more because GI’s hated it so much they gave it away in trade to war starved people that acquired a taste for it (or just for nostalgia reasons).

Er, to me, this is a matter of basic math. I have lived in NYC for 8 years and the NY metro area for my entire life. I have gotten my nails done in many different places, and when you start doing the addition at most of them, the price for your manicure starts to not add up to anything near what would be a livable…

Hey, I have issues with 1,2 and three under what Caucasians wear. I am Caucasian and was not allowed to sass my parents, religiously use washcloths and when I do attend church at least wear a dress shirt and dress slacks and coat/tie if it is colder weather/high mass.

During the introduction, Todd mentioned it being all black, but a colorblind issue. Almost embarrassed maybe. So it came across as bigoted but also lazy. “Bad news Chuck, our incompetent field director only interviewed black inmates.” “ Damnit. Well, we got a show to put on. No way I can afford not to show it or get…
