I doubt Uber would agree with you there, but I could be wrong.

I want to quickly point out that of course of this woman’s actions were irresponsible and irrational—that’s the nature of phobia, an irrational fear that is debilitating. I have nearly done this for another reason (not spiders) and it’s horrifying. I’ve been locked in rooms by my phobia. Locked out of my house for…

Oh thank god - I was really confused by this. I’m British (in the US) and thought that whisky must have meant something secret that no one had told me. I’d always specify the whisky if I I wanted just that, or expect the bartender to know what I wanted if it was in a cocktail (e.g. sazeracs go with rye, OFs with…

It still stands as overall the best written story ever submitted. “Breadsticks, for the mouth part of your face.” still kills me.

Violence overall is down - or has been, anyway - but public shootings, specifically, are up.

Its proper name is the Jane Austen Centre, not Center. For proper names you have to respect the original spelling - so we Brits have to write Pearl Harbor rather than Pearl Harbour (much as it pains us).

I almost got into an all out brawl with my ignorant sister-in-law about this. We were out for dinner and a gay male couple were kissing at a nearby table. She starts stage whispering “I’m not homophobic but there are KIDS here”. To which I replied “You are the definition of homophobia”. A great battle ensued, the…

Man, even when I was in school in conservative, rich, white people town 10 years ago, they shut EVERYTHING down, evacuated the students, and called in the bomb squad (dogs and all) just for a phoned in threat.

“we cannot allow items on campus that can be perceived to pose a threat.”

Scene- My bedroom, 2 AM, after a bottle and a half of wine.
Players (In a theatre sense, not like, a gross way to say ‘lovers’ or whatever)- My husband and also my me.

We were young, early 20’s, shitty on wine, having laugh sex, where we sort of clumsily bounced around the bedroom, laughing and not totally putting all…

I think that it’s possible to believe that she deserves to be incarcerated (I’m not even going to express my own feelings about that here, because it’s irrelevant) and still think that she, and all other inmates, ought to be treated with some basic decency, including respecting their gender identity.

They never thought it was a bomb. If they ever genuinely thought it was a bomb, they would have evacuated the school and called the SWAT team. They wanted to intimidate Ahmed’s family because his father is an outspoken advocate of Muslim-Americans in an openly racist community.

literally used to have to sing for tables at my first restaurant job. It was at an “Italian" restaurant and I'm a classically-trained singer. People are bullshitty assholes.

You’re being generous. It’s not heavily biased — it’s completely and unabashedly biased in favor of science and research.

Not because of autism concerns, but that getting doses too close together can limit their effectiveness. Science, not witchcraft.

I’m reminded of my favourite shop sign “unattended children will be given coffee and a puppy”

I was a smart ass when I worked at a Blockbuster Video in Seattle. A customer came in once and asked me “Excuse me, could you tell me where I could find JFK?” “Arlington National Cemetery,” I replied.

TRUTH! Beef tartare. Gyusashi. (Oh god, gyusashi! *drool*) Carpaccio. All delicious. Raw ground from a supermarket that’s been sitting around for who knows how long? - FUCK NO.

Unfortunately, the way this case is being handled makes it look like sex trafficking is a workers are legitimate business human beings.

“According to Saeed Mamouzini, spokesperson for the Kurdistan Democratic Party, the woman struck back on September 5, murdering Abu Amas.”
