Where is the evidence that it wasn’t consistently applied? This mother bitching does not constitute evidence. It sounds like enforcement of the school’s code throughout the year may have been a little spotty, but graduation is a special event and it was made abundantly clear what students should wear.

Do you really believe (American) society today is more concerned with what kids are wearing than any of the previous generations? If anything, I’d argue we are improving (caring less) by leaps and bounds.

If she couldn’t afford the shoes, and the mother or student had made some sort of effort to communicate that fact to the school, and they told the mother/child to fuck off, I think you’d have a valid point. None of that is true though. She had appropriate shoes with her and chose not to wear them. The article also…

Your point was that bc the shoes aren’t visible, the request is unreasonable. Your point is invalid, bc the shoes were visible. “So what?” So what, indeed. Seriously... What are you on about?

This is such a stupid response that I’m pretty sure you’re just fucking with me. The gowns at graduations aren’t typically floor-length. So pretty much all you can see is the gown and footwear, which is why it’s very common to have a footwear dress code for these events. Logic also dictates that her shoes were…

I’m sure I’ll get a lot of shit for this, but I just cant manage to muster up any sympathy for this girl or her mother. Where dress codes are sexist or unequally applied, I acknowledge and accept that shining a light on it and shaming the administrators can be a good thing. No one should be made to feel shitty simply…

So bad

Pete is by far my favorite character. His inability to control his emotions/reactions was amazing. He literally could not keep his disgust/joy/contempt/greed to himself. You always knew where Pete stood. I am team Pete.

Waited so long really is a “foot stomper / knee slapper” as my roommate said when he sent it to me a while back. My girlfriend can't listen to it! She says it gives her anxiety, lol. Very good stuff there.

Ha! TBT and Delta Rae get regular airtime on my iPod. And I totally agree regarding YouTube/spotify. I’ve done nothing but listen to Birdcloud and browse their “related artists” on spotify for the past half hour. It's a very easy way to discover new music.

Seriously I’m obsessed. Reminds me of The Mountain Goats and the Steve Martin/Edie Brickell bluegrass album. Except, hilariously vulgar. So good.

Holy shit this is good! And also why I don’t take articles like this too seriously. “Radio” has sucked for a long time. Expecting to find a diverse selection of music on most radio stations is a fool’s errand. I find more good music like this than any other way... Just keep an open mind and give different artists a…

lol... You are an ass.

It was not a loose ball and he did not get to it first. He got to it second and only after knocking it out of an elderly woman’s hands. It was loose when he started running towards it, but by the time he got there, it was in her hands.

I disagree that it’s debatable. I think, at best, he put his hands on her twice and put his giant shoulder directly in her face. At worst, he grabbed her twice and came close to decking her and a small child. It’s not about giving the ball to a woman or a child, though I don’t think that’s such an awful unwritten…

You said it much better. I agree with everything you said.

He also comes dangerously close to flattening a two year old girl on his way to grab the ball, which is something I missed the first few times. This guy is a dick, but I agree maybe not a dick that deserves to be outed on the radio/Internet. Maybe not. But I'm okay with it.

A few things...

I work in wealth management for ultra high net worth families, and I’d gladly take pretty much anyone’s money, but we don’t target athletes bc they almost always are surrounded by a circus of moochers and decision makers who don’t know what the eff they’re doing. It’s astounding/sad and somehow also not surprising the…

And homophobic, though I don't normally think of it that way.
