What is comfort mode?

“...I wanted my vote to be a vague protest, registering my poorly thought out resentment against some perceived slight by the political class in general...I didn’t want the thing I was voting for to actually happen! What the hell?!?!”

Lol I just found out that under article 50 of the Lisbon treaty, which deals with the (til-now theoretical) situation of a country leaving the EU, the terms of exit are determined and voted upon only by the remaining 27 countries - meaning that all those UKIP/Leave promises about what breaking with the EU would be

Buzzfeed Quiz. If he were an ice cream he’d be a Dilly Bar.

It’s actually because of the movie. The story line and the music bored me, so I’m not inspired to go sit through the musical.

1) A lot of the people complaining are those who *aren’t* paying the vastly marked-up prices from resellers, but would have paid the normal price.

Hang on a minute, is this a situation where a special line is being introduced and it sells out in a morning? If not, then how are you getting an extra 25% online? If that is what we’re talking about, then someone behind you in the line, who has also gotten up early and waited, who is also battling the crowds at

Wait, I need help. How does this work? I read it as purchases over 14 tickets are voided, but I’ve also read the box office is closed until February, so how is it that anyone is making a recent purchase that could this be voided?

There are plenty of other non-dickish ways to “make extra money during school.”

Thanks for being part of the problem. You’re not a bad person, you don’t eat kittens or anything, but you’re doing something bad and don’t pretend you’re better than ‘those other resellers’. You are the problem, fix it or stop pretending you’re better.

People that need extra money don’t spend the money they do have on things they don’t need or want in the hopes that someone will pay them more than it’s worth. I’ve been on eBay for 11 years and most resellers are either students spending their parents’ money or bored housewives.

It’s also assuming that other people don’t have commitments that prevent them from hanging out at a Target all morning. Like oh, I don’t know... a real job they have to be at before Target even opens, maybe?

Oh yeah, I remember that! It didn’t interest me but I felt bad for people who wanted the sequin dress, for instance. I thought it was already a bit too pricey at retail but throw in a resellers’ markup on top of that and a lot of people who thought they could get a nice party/prom dress at a decent price just got

If you buy one of each item, that’s whatever. It’s more so the people who clean house and leave nothing for people trying to actually something at an affordable price.

If it weren’t for Forza, maybe he would have learned not to drive so damned fast in the rain.

Detour to a funny story time- My nutty dad used an air horn wedged up against the door one vacation like that when we were in a shady part of TN. My sister (about 14 then) freaked out in her sleep and had a sleep walking nightmare where she went to open the room door while screaming at some nightmare specter and oh,

I like that the poor-man’s solution involves money.

I’m a nurse, and I’m sorry because I know it sounds awful, but I do often tell people that some of the meanest, worst humans I have ever met have been nurses. And that’s the truth. I pursued nursing as a second career because I am overly idealistic and I had this notion that everyone else would be there for the same

One of my ward nurses wiped my butt and let me cry in her boobs. She was a good nurse :)
