Your statements imply that you would have been happy to see the distracting kids in your class thrown across a room by a police officer at least twice their size, or at least that you wouldn’t have been disturbed by it. In which case, fuck you.

EW. I’m lucky to have spent little enough time on OKC that I didn’t get much of that.

Close, but not quite. Our grocery stores have wine and beer and no rules about where in the store you can carry those things, but liquor is more strictly regulated by the Oregon Liquor Control Commission and has to be sold in separate liquor stores. As for the places that wouldn’t accept your ID... that sucks and is…

We have bars in Oregon. Yes, they all offer food - in some cases truly kickass food - but I still consider them “true bars.” I mean, when I walk into a place and the single FOH room is dominated by a bar, I tend to consider that establishment more of a bar than a restaurant. Now, if those places were required to push…

I’m in Oregon too, and I agree that always having food in places serving alcohol is a good thing, but requiring food to make up 50% of sales is ridiculous. A law like that would seriously hurt a lot of businesses in my area.

I did end up needing to take the control back myself, but things are better now that I’m in a long-term relationship with someone who understands my body. :)

Yeah, I learned that after a few times of basically needing to say, “Oh my god, just give me that, you’re doing it wrong.” I never have that problem with my fiance, though, which is fortunate because I find it so much sexier to let him get me off rather than doing it myself.

Then again, I’ve had partners who didn’t really know what to do with my vibrator. My fiance is great with it, but in the past there were one or two guys who seemed to think they had to jab it painfully against my flesh, apparently not understanding that the point is to let the vibrations do the work.

That and the fact that she waited until just after the mother died. Seems very calculated to me.

Matt Smith is great, but Tennant will always have my heart.

That’s outrageously awful. So many marriages don’t survive the death of a child. It sounds like these two found a way to come together and rebuild a happy life, and that’s an amazing thing after such a tragedy. I salute them.

This is happening to me right now. I was closer to no one in the world, and now... I hardly know what happened. We never had a big falling out. It’s a thousand little things all adding up to make me feel like I’ve lost something I can’t replace. I was her maid of honor 7 years ago and always assumed she would be mine,…

Parker is quoted as saying he feared he would be shot by SWAT if he intervened. Which is a very legitimate fear; responding officers have no way of knowing which dude with a gun is the bad guy.

Unfortunately it could still be that type of shooting even if the victims include men. They rage against men who “have” women almost as much as they do against women.

It’s another Isla Vista... I’m about to be sick.

It’s awful that it took having him speak up for people to take it seriously, but yeah. Good on him for doing it.

In college I had a silly running joke about it with friends from my Latin class. In my freshman year during finals someone drew a picture labeled “Fae makes a break for it!” which depicted me leaping out of a window with bubble-speech reading, “It de fenestra (she goes out the window)!”

It baffles and infuriates me that we still haven’t gotten over this notion that a wife is the property of her husband, or a mere extension of him. I remember in college I took a seminar course on women in the Victorian era, and I was doing some research for a paper on the lack of married women’s rights. The focus of…

Am I reading this correctly? The spouse is specifically excluded? That is even more fucked up than the name of the crime.

And then he would probably decide it came from women’s witchcraft. Because he was Paul, and he hated women.
