It’s really weird to live in a world where posting photos of a vacation is more important than actually enjoying a vacation. 

Thank you for introducing me to Contrapoints, she’s informative and entertaining!

Guys don’t think about it. Literally. Ninety percent of guys being pissed off at women on the internet is because they don’t know why women are afraid.

C’mon, Japan...I want to love you, but between this and restarting the whale hunts, you’re making it very difficult.
