I think s/he just worded that sentence awkwardly. I read it as "IRL, people wear masks, and sometimes that mask makes them seem like a good person but really they might be a rapey sort, so the two are not always mutually exclusive on the face of things."

I feel like I owe it to both myself and my future boyfriend/husband to be discerning...

It wasn't mean or anything, just stupid.

LOLing so hard at this. Does that make Gawker a front for Berkeley undergrads with one Philosophy 101 class under their belt intent on overthrowing Wall Street and Deadspin a lair for the Illuminati, a secret, coded chat cave filled with unintelligible references and jokes?

Edited: reading comp FAIL, sorry.

Oh my god, The Life Zone?! It sounds like a name for one of those pace maker monitors that calls 911 if your ticker goes haywire. I'm sure I've seen an infomercial for it...

I knew I hated that guy.

You do realize that a) this was rather rare, and b) these cultures still exist, right?

Ew. I have to take a shower now. I'll be back in a couple hours.

Ha! I'm pretty sure my mom would have rolled her eyes and just said not to drive. And to have a glass or six for her.

Fairly sure it's the combination of a highly publicized and public event, combined with the bad press from the Senior Cocktails night. Which is a bummer, because it sounds hella fun.

I will fly in from Chicago for that. It's been too long since I've been to Atlanta anyway!

I fully support your Supernatural gifs today.

I am very sorry. It was an accident; I hadn't had enough coffee and forgot the ETA, and I edited it like two minutes after - I wasn't showing any replies yet.

Ugh, Chris, that tie is terrible. Team Quinto Bow Tie all the way.

Most modern weapons won't accidentally discharge. Not everyone has a newer model firearm.

I'm not really sure what happened in this particular instance, but it is possible, though rare, for a gun to fire if dropped hard enough and at the right angle, especially if it's an older model, isn't holstered properly and doesn't have a safety/doesn't have the safety on.

Right, so we are pretty much on the same page. It seems fairly rare to me, however, that little girls' swimwear is marketed this way outside of nonsense like GOOP and high fashion. If we assume most people are getting their kids' bikinis from Target or JC Penney, does that factor and change the situation at all for…

They send their employees to the same weight-assessment training seminar Samoa Air does, of course.

Ha, my mom is the exact opposite. Even at 26, she'll still ask if I'm wearing sunscreen every day. It's like, sheesh, ma, you're embarrassing me, gawd.
