As someone who’s relatives are still of the “money is tacky” mindset even though I HATE stuff, I still end up receiving it. It partly made me have a tiny wedding where no one could really attend. And I requested no gifts so I wouldn’t have to write thank you cards for shit I would hate. However, as someone with…

I should add that my wife and I had a gift-less wedding. For guests who insisted on giving something, we pointed them to a favorite charity of ours.

Bullshit. I don’t need pots and pans because I have a shitty set from college that will do fine, but I would like a house to put those shitty pots and pans in.

Asking for cash instead of gifts isn’t tacky at all. Ignore what these dinosaurs say. If you really want / need cash instead of a 3rd toaster, then simply do like the article says and say that you’re saving for a house/honeymoon/etc. and that you’d love it for your friends and family to play a large role in it. Cash…

This is what your parents and aunties and bridesmaids are for. When people ask what you’d really like to have, they are allowed to say that you are registered here and there, but that if they don’t want to choose something you could use cash for your down payment on your house, etc. Then only register for stuff you…

I’ve been married twice - the first time, me and the ex ended up with a lot of stuff neither of us needed or wanted as wedding gifts. We sent thank you notes, because it was nice of our guests to go to the trouble and expense, but we also felt horribly guilty when several of those gifts just sat around collecting dust…

Being a guy in his early 20's, why is a cash gift tacky? If my future spouse and I don’t have the need, want, or have space for physical gifts, and people still wish to give us a gift, why not money? I have more flexibility with cash (paying off any loans, down payment on a home, achieving financial independence,…

That’s why I’d always wear an adult diaper.

You know, in the days before cars, the horses pulling the buggies had sensors (I think they were called “eyes” or something), and people actually put blinders on them to limit their function so they wouldn’t get skittish.

Smart people aren’t mean about auto recovery people.

Damage from side pulling at the wheels is extremely rare. That’s actually preferable to pulling form the chassis on most unibody cars. The chassis tow points are only designed for fore/aft loads. Side pulls from the wheels are still only a fraction of the loading you experience when driving.

The owner didn’t have his flat brimmed hat on, either.

My Creedence tapes, and, uh, my briefcase...

“I miss it a little bit,” Yelen told ABC before the car was freed. “I had a system in there, and other stuff.”

Everyone knows you should never disturb a Mitsubishi cocoon... How dare they do this before it could undergo its final Evolution

a lancer without an autozone tow hook? i’m calling BS.

Keep back 500 feet.

Well done!!

Listen, I completely agree with and share all your frustration at the disparities in media coverage and law enforcement response between innocent people of color and aggressive white assholes. I do! But the solution isn’t to treat more people the wrong way, with heavyhanded violence; it’s to treat more people the right…

The solution to disproportionate responses by the government to persons of color is not to call for disproportionate responses by the government to white people. It’s to stop disproportionate responses against persons of color.
