Retractible leashes are fine - if, they are used properly and safely. Unfortunately, my experience and those posted on various dog forums is that properly and safely is a outlier. Similarly, vibration collars aren’t always a bad thing - if used properly and safely; for example, fitted properly and used a very low…

There are bacon-scented bubbles? My dogs both thank you for sharing this information.

I think you may have missed the sarcasm...

Didn’t the gangbanging thugs (very apt name, btw) change their name to Xe? Or, was that their name before Academi? I can never remember because Blackwater changes it’s name as often as most people change their underwear.

Look, I get it. Criticism is hard to take, and particularly hard to take when it’s directed at someone you respect and perhaps even look up to. But, consider this: you jumped immediately to the race and gender cards, without even recognizing that the bitchy thing in my comment was actually a repetition of what the…

The fuck does any of this have to do with misogyny or the fact that the journalist is black?!

I have no idea what “stanning” means. But, my response has nothing to do with liking RE or not like RE - it’s because the clickbait of an article presents a false narrative to make a point, and that drives me bonkers. I think the proposed policy is nonsense; but, that doesn’t mean I think it’s acceptable to…

I think the point is that the students don’t HAVE to be accepted to college - they could also be in a job training program or get a job. There is no requirement that it HAS to be college.

The press release for the program lists more options than you mention in the opinion piece you wrote.

I was in business class* on a flight from Greece to Seattle, and there were two young parents with their small toddler a few rows ahead of me. As soon as they were settled, the dad walked around the whole cabin handing out a bar of really nice chocolate, some fancy trail mix stuff, and some ear plugs all wrapped up in…

This is the best/most accurate description of Hawaii Five-O I’ve ever read.

I can’t tell if that was supposed to be a joke, or real. Tell me it was meant to be a joke. I need it to be a joke.

Their hair is mesmerizing. I missed the entire content of that video because I was so busy staring at their hair.

We actually refer to this as an apocalypse. It was supposed to be gone by now, and it’s still here and I can’t even get out of my apartment complex because the whole parking lot is a sheet of ice. We also call this snow-aggeden. Send help.

Could be Cara D’s family though - she’s a British socialite, and has an incredibly rich family.

Kate Brown was an incumbent, and is not Oregon’s “new Governor”.

Is this a West Wing reference? Or, is this a real thing that I’ve never heard about in the real world because I spend too much time watching that show?

Paper ballots are also correlated with increased voting numbers! If I remember the literature correctly (it’s been a while since I did research on electoral patterns), it matters less in national elections, but has a good sized impact on “less important” elections. Yay laziness.

Have you guys changed the rule about the ballot only has to be postmarked by election day - and not received, like we have down in Oregon? I worked for a political tracking organization for a while, and WA was always a pain because it took forever to get their results because of the postmark rule.
