I also felt a sadness knowing I’d never experience such a rush of emotions that those people (who are not even born yet) are gonna feel. They’ll be ending a treasure hunt started by their grandfathers over a hundred years ago. Truly an amazing gift to pass down to someone.

It makes me very sad that I likely won’t be around in 2113 to find out how this ends — but maybe that’s the point, to make us consider that history is a thing larger than ourselves.

Nah, man. That’s just Bubbles. Name’s right there, buddy.

Jeez. It’s embarrasing how long it would take me to latch Franklin’s tow truck to cars in missions. Remember that Austin Powers bit where he had that little vehicle stuck between the two walls? Yeah, it felt like trying to accomplish that.

I’m 28 and I cried six times TODAY. (Shut up, I was reading a really poignant book while working an unexpected grave shift, you guys would have cried too.)

For a second I thought this picture was of a hand-illustrated 80s-era concept drawing. Then I realized, holy crap, this stuff actually got built! This is pretty much the coolest launch facility I have ever seen in my life.

One of my best Ingress experienecs was going adventuring with one of my teammates who was a neighbor that lived a couple blocks away from me. We chartered a sailboat with some other people and went on a multi-day sailing/hiking trip primarily, but had a secondary objective of securing a very difficult to access portal…

It’s true that leave under CFRA specifically does not run concurrently with leave under PDL. But Jezebel has its info on PDL wrong. You’re not automatically entitled to 4 months. You only get leave under PDL when the leave is necessitated by a disabling condition caused by the pregnancy. If you’re not disabled, you…

As someone who is seriously allergic to cashews - screw this mother!

I am made unreasonably happy about the shake story. Though I don’t personally work there, there’s a small, local ice cream shop down the road I get coffee at (weird, I know, but it’s cheap and pretty good) and there are just so many entitled kids there whose parents don’t do anything about. TThe worst one of these…

I had two bosses at Borders before I managed the place. One was legitimately insane and routinely threw books at me.

If a Vegan does crossfit, what do they rush to tell you about first?

i’d like to propose a motion in which all diet books must also include an epilogue chapter detailing how quickly you gain the weight back after stopping the diet

The caitlin jenner one doesn’t strike anyone as impossibly bad taste?

With respect, you could have your eyes glued to home plate, but if you think you could dodge a bat flying at you at that speed, you are fucking kidding yourself.

Or how betrayed she would feel that her own father, a person who is supposed to love and protect her, would become a bully too? She must have felt like absolutely no one would support and protect her. How terribly sad.

Pretty shitty of people to use an amputee veteran as a thin veil for their transphobia

Good mother or not, she’ll be 80 when these kids are 15. As young as she thinks kids keep her, she will be elderly when they are adolescents, I don't think it's possible for her to be as good of a mother as someone younger could be. There’s a very high probability she’ll die when they’re still quite young. She's too…

Sadly it’s not even close for me. I once did a postpartum home visit to find that the infant had died several days before but the mother was still bathing and dressing the little body and frantic because “She just won’t eat.” I suspect this will turn out to be something similar. Grief can do some powerfully tragic…
