I’ve never been sure what actual purpose engagement photos are meant to serve, but I guess it’s probably to introduce yourself to the world, as a couple.

That underwear is heinous. All the production values poured into that shot and my man is wearing a manky pair of tighty-whities? No excuse whatsoever. And no, no man has ever tried to worm his willy through the ridiculous little slot. We pull the waistband down and hook it under the convenient orb-weighted flappy sack…

For me, it’s because while porn is one thing, couples who do the exhibitionist sex thing seem to be forcing me to participate in their sex life without my consent. This lies somewhere in between, but if some couple did this at a real wedding (or park) hoping their loved ones walked in on it? Gross.

Wow! Five items from which to build the Code 45* today! Let’s get at ‘er.

Matching pearl necklaces for them all.

There is a vas deferens between this and your standard wedding shot.

“Klooster was quick to note that the photo is meant to be a joke, and that anyone who is not on board should go back to 1996, before humor was invented.”
 

Her bridesmaids better watch out if she offers them wedding day facials.

Wow, it takes real balls to do something like this.

“‘Everybody needs to gain 10 pounds to be in this video,’ Pink, in classic form, told her backup performers upon seeing them in costume.”

Dogs from miles around are barking after Sarah’s repeated whistles.

Everyone needs to get Chicago’s name out of their mouths after mass shootings.

Today’s Code 45* is a simple, sombre, declarative exclamation by 45*’s subconscious in response to its orange-tinted host’s desperate search for understanding of how seemingly everything is seemingly much worse than it has seemingly ever been in the US. Being a malignant narcissist, 45*’s conscious mind obviously…

I didn’t mean any slight to the person choosing sex work—I could have phrased that more clearly. I don’t think I made a better or worse choice. I made the one I did in that situation—and the woman in the article made hers. She wasn’t pretending it was her only choice.

I made the transition! It can be done. What I’ve found is a lot of the same skills that made you successful in academica are the same skills most companies are looking for in solid employees: time management, problem solving, and working with others. I have an English degree, so I feel you on the Humanities degrees…

I used to work for an for profit university, online. So, they had few costs besides maintaining servers and curriculum.

Each class was 3k per student and my classes had 24 students in them. I taught 16 classes a year. The average adjunct was paid 1,600 per class.

Each class, when fully enrolled, earns 72k.
Per year, I…

As a reminder, these are people teaching a roomful of students that pay well over the average income of a family to be at college. At $3K per course, teaching 10 students, the teacher is bringing in $30K per class per term for the university. If they teach two classes per term, that’s $120K per year. They’re seeing…

If you’re having a heart attack, the cat will just paw at you then have lunch, tho.

Get out of here with that adult thinking!

Democrats, rather than enjoying watching Republicans crash and burn their dangerous healthcare repeal bills, are apparently validating whiny Republicans by drafting a compromise bill behind-the-scenes.
