I think what YOU want is called a prostitute. Which is fine! That should be legal! Just don’t pretend you’re trying to actually *date* anyone.

Read the article.  It’s made perfectly clear that the motive is entirely the meal.

(No matter that the article mentions men do this too.)

A few other things:

Thank you.  This is great info.

Funny.  I grew up in Wisconsin and have never heard of this drink.

So, knowing nothing about how this piece works, are you saying that by initiating impeachment against the President, the House committees have more power to get the information they need from the Cabinet? What’s the difference in effectiveness between a non-impeachment investigation (which various House committees do…

I would have THOUGHT the Read ID system would require current ID photos, but apparently not.

I once had a car that had the pedals so close together that my foot had a tendency to miss the brake entirely and hit the clutch or, far more often, graze the brake pedal while I was going for the clutch.  But, never once did I mistake the gas for the damned brake.

Friendly reminder: there’s Medicare, and then there’s Medicare Advantage, which fucking sucks because it’s administered by for-profit companies which have been scamming taxpayers in fraudulent charges for tens of billions of dollars since 2003.  If you, or a relative, are about to get to that magical Medicare age, be…

They can investigate without impeachment. That’s...a huge part of how they are structured. The only thing impeachment will do, besides rally every single Republican—even the so-called “respectable” ones—behind Trump, is give a few people some good feels. At least until the post-impeachment numbers come in.…

Impeachment is pointless when the outcome from the Senate is certain.  That doesn’t mean that the House shouldn’t investigate the shit out of the Trump administration, and Trump himself, in every committee and sub-committee, through 2020.  They can actually make shit happen there. 

Yeah, as someone who was an actual, honest-to-God independent contractor for many years, it’s an incredibly expensive way to make a living.  When I’d finally had enough of it, and went back to wage-based work, I took a job that paid just over half of what my previous billing rate was--and was actually better off…

45 minutes?!  Shit, that’s light-speed.

You weren’t being clear with your question.

In my experience, the people who get the most bent out of shape over these types of discussions are generally the ones who also need to do some self-reflection about their own drinking.  People who don’t have a problem with alcohol simply don’t get this upset over it.

No, that’s called “alcoholism”.

I could be wrong but I think the reason why so many states upped the drinking age from 18 to 21 is because they found data showing that rates of drunk driving decreased significantly in those states with the higher drinking age.  Bottom line is:  you can’t police the behavior of other people 100% of the time.  If…

Alcohol is the ultimate mood altering substance in that there are no specific receptors in the brain for which it will work—it works on all of them because it goes everywhere that water goes.

They’re talking about harms done to others by one person’s drinking. If your father drinks like a fish it won’t give you cancer.
