Did she iron the shirt with the phone in the pocket?? Because thats not going to end well...

Question: Is the outrage here because what she said was mean, or because it was somehow racist? If its the latter, is patchouli commonly associated with African Americans in dreadlocks? Because I've only ever known it to be associated with white hippy kids/hipsters. I'm just genuinely curious if this is something I…

sorry, i liked triple triad better. It was simpler, but still had good depth and strategy.

The only hacked pokemon I'm ok with are the event only ones, because some of us just missed the event or it never happened near us.

"I'm sorry but what overlaps? WOC & gay women in women?
