You shouldn’t feel bad about having to be reminded. It is normal and rational to be more concerned with imminent threats at home even if they are less dire than ones abroad. Don’t fall prey to the fallacy of relative privation.

and there really is NO way to refuse a hug without looking like a massive jerk. It just can’t be done. So many of us go along with hugs we don’t want to avoid the awkwardness.

yeah, well, how about we just say “some countries” or rather “some people”. Cruelty and amoral behavior towards animals is sadly, fairly universal.

if you don’t mind me asking, where are you from that you’d mix F and C up? That perplexes me. No snark, just wondering.

ok, yeah, I agree. Your earlier comment was a bit confusing; I didn’t quite grasp your thesis. However, it’s easier said than done. We can’t just unilaterally decide on a “professional” uniform for all genders. These things take years/decades and its somewhat organic in how styles and norms evolve.

I love you, jazzyturtleneck.

I’m not 100% sure what exactly your argument is, but I’d like to point out the fact that the concise “uniform” for men (i.e. suit and tie) lends quite a bit of freedom, in a sense, to men that women don’t have. For example, all a male politician has to do to look professional is wear a decent fitting gray suit and a…

I don’t disagree with you, but surely you don’t mean 80 degrees celcius.

besides the fact that if you are *still bleeding* more than a couple of days after a facelift, something is VERY wrong. Makes no logical sense.

ur a lawyer-cat, right? I mean... isn’t this libel/slander? He publicly announced something he theoretically *knew* to be false in order to damage Mika’s image?

lest we forget he saluted with a got damned coffee cup.

“romeo and juliet” exceptions

I just bought a condo and I’m now concerned that everyone I know is snooping on me. Because I sure as shit have done it too. *ugh*

OH SHIT

I feel like Zillow is trying to lean on the fact that they have illegal and unenforceable language in their T&Cs. They essentially have “fair use doesn’t apply” in their terms. You can’t do that...

Did you not read? Through her tweet she was able to find (presumably) pro bono representation. It worked like a charm.

OSHA requires restrooms for employees (down to how far an employee can be required to walk in order to get there). They just don’t have a public restroom. When I worked in a clothing store in the mall, people would ask if they could use our restroom all the time; no go, customers are not allowed in the back with all…

I’m right there with you. It’s so much motivated reasoning it’s truly stunning. If only one woman accused him, she’s not trustworthy, if a baker’s dozen accuse him, all with the same story, most of them are lying. Goddamnit.

ugh Joy was so terrible.
