I just moved to the Poconos (from Princeton). I am finding it to be basically Chilly Florida — the same weird mix of retired NYC/Philly old people and odd rednecks who either work in the service/tourist industry or deal drugs.

It kinda sounds like the “alcohol, drug use, and misogyny” accusation was a knee-jerk reaction to hearing the word ‘rap,’ regardless of either context or specific details.

This is the soccer equivalent of chumming the water.

Yup! It turns every adult into a target/potential threat.

He’s no cunt... he lacks depth and warmth.

I work in nonprofit law in Los Angeles doing direct services work. I clean up or attempt to clean up so many of these messes. I used to be angry about, now I’m just tired of it. Tired of explaining to a woman who earns her rent money selling flowers on the street that she just wasted $700 on nothing.

Here in California, Hispanic immigrants are horrifically victimized by their own. There are hordes of bilingual immigration “attorneys” and “notaries” who promise to help people correct their status, all the time knowing there is nothing that can be done. They people go to them because they trust someone who speaks…

Here in Dallas its about $30 for mani, $40 for pedi. I couldn’t believe this number.

I feel like maybe the trains are the ones trespassing on my creative and fun Harry Potter fantography?

Yeah, it looks like a bit more than a papercut... I was wondering how long he stood around without wiping at it to get it to trickle down that far before taking the picture. And you know he’s just barely holding back a shit-eating grin.

I think calling any one an “elite” quarter back is setting them up for unfair expectations. Wilson is definitely a good QB, and he had a great line that allowed him to make runs and plays that no other QB’s were doing. I think by demanding the contract that he got that he hurt the team. Even Tom Brady was smart enough…

Seven. SEVEN Federal Benghazi committees.

Instead of putting the money towards legitimate women’s healthcare needs. I’m so sick of the fucking republicans. They don’t want to fund women’s healthcare, but they’ll spend millions investigating legitimate medical organizations that provide it.

As a Canuck who watches NFL, let’s pretend we balance each other’s guilty pleasure out.

Not going to lie, my guilty pleasure is the CFL. For some reason I feel like I am cheating on my country by enjoying it, but there is just so much to love about it.

The Calvin Johnson Rule has been amended to simply: “The Lions must not win”

+1995

I’m shocked, SHOCKED I tell you, that this cavalier attitude towards women’s bodily autonomy is evident in more than one place in his “morals.”

Oh Kindle. This annoys me so much. The first kindle fire did not have these ads. Next we’ll have lock screen/idle/sleep ads default on all our phones, computers and tv’s too. Ugh, enough.

... And stop asking me to rate everything, while you’re at it! All I did was buy a widget, so no, I don’t want to fill out a 5-page Surveymonkey form about my Customer Experience! I have no feelings about widgets, they’re just something I need for the home, and I have no feelings about whatever store I buy them from!…
