*South Carolina.
Sorry, we don’t get to claim much in the way of good things down here in Charleston.

This is my issue with Bill Maher’s “whiny little bitch” campaign — he’s trying to insult Trump, but the way he’s doing it says, “Women are weak and pathetic and the worst possible thing anyone could be.” It’s such a common trope, and it’s just exhausting.

Obligatory link to Sophina DeJesus’s killer floor routine from UCLA v Utah in February. There was an article here about it awhile back, but in case anyone missed it, *so* worth a watch!

In their final moments on earth, these poor girls were fully aware that their own mother was going to blow them away just to spite their father. On his birthday.

The thing is, I love Holden Caufield as a character, but emphatically not as a hero, and I don’t think Salinger or even the character thinks of him/self that way. It’s a very good portrait of that particular self-focused time of life when you’re just starting to wake up to how the world, or your portion of it, works,…

I call a coworker who shares my name, “Original Recipe” (because he was there first), and he calls me “Extra Crispy.”

I think you mean Saving Private Cryin’.

“This change is completely meaningless, BUT I ANGRILY OPPOSE IT!!!”

“But on the other, it’s a direct reflection on society’s crybaby political correctness.”

He was burning the McCandless at both ends.

He died because he didn’t bring a decent map or a radio. He wasn’t hiking thousands of miles from any human contact. He was cut off by a flooded river when he tried to leave, but there was another crossing only a few miles away. He was also close to a bunch of cabins filled with supplies, used by people who vacationed…

The people who cast him as a hero are the same ones who love Holden caufield.

I wish I could star this a hundred times.

He wandered off into the Alaskan wilderness with a bag of rice and a laminated card of edible plants (if memory serves). Have you spent much time backpacking or anything like that? Because as someone who spent quite some time in the Scouts, I can assure you that he was unprepared to a ludicrous degree. He was either…

Didn’t he also burn all of his cash or something equally dumb...only a rich brat would do something like that.

Yes yes yes. I have seen the movie so if it’s not a fair portrayal of the real McCandless then I apologise but the McCandless in the movie is a selfish brat. He walks out on his family without a word - not caring if they’re worried sick because he’s on a journey you guys. He doesn’t respect nature, doesn’t take the…

Yeah. Some people said he was a good outdoorsman who hunted and fished enough to feed himself and would have made it back if there weren’t a mistake in the edible-botany book he was using and unusual flooding that year.

I’ve maintained this since reading the book in high school: Christopher McCandless was a stupid, naive, unprepared dink who thought he could piss in Nature’s face and get away with it. He got lucky a few times, but sooner or later if you don't respect Nature it will kill you dead.
