I don't mean to be rude, but I kind of hate your sister.

I'm going to put in my pitch to be ungreyed; I read regularly, contribute when I can, and have been pulled out of the greys a few times, but to make it permanent would make me happy. And yes, this is a shameless pitch; I don't have a kicked-out bridesmaid story, because I've only been a bridesmaid once, and I didn't…

Then don't live off blood money; put your blood money where your mouth is. Sell off all your "Big Pharmy" stock and donate the proceeds to legitimate medical research; hell, do some of it yourself if you want. Just because someone in your family was an immunologist and researcher doesn't necessarily mean you know…

Thank you for my new response.

I... just. GOD. I mean, I've sort of internalized that we're just going to be objectified. So much so that I expect it now, deflect it, know how to avoid it (or at least attempt to), and it takes a lot for me to be overly outraged. This is what it takes. It takes a dude catcalling you on your way out of a funeral…

It's actually almost sort of sad. I'm sure that's not what they were going for.

It DIDN'T? Fuck, I knew I should have voted for Romney.

Unfortunately, yes. It happened to me at a friend's wedding, but it was almost 20 years ago. Had I known this was going to happen I would have shoved the bouquet at the first woman who wanted to take it, but it pretty much just landed on me and I was stuck. I pointed to a spot about an inch above my knee and told the…

All points granted; none of which change the essential point, which was that in no case was decimated the correct word for the referenced sentence in the article. Thanks for standing up and being the even more pedantic word nerd I was expecting.

Oh thank dog. I was sure the first or only response would be someone yelling at me.

I hope you're a not-so-secret avoider of your sister's little germ factories...

I'm going to be a nitpicky word nerd and suggest that "decimate" isn't the term you're looking for here. The actual definition is to reduce by one-tenth, but it has recently been co-opted to mean completely destroyed; a mutation which annoys me, but I realize language changes over time, so I've gotten over it. …

What system? What was to be sorted out? Oh my god, I can't believe you're pulling out the old "we really and truly don't know what happened" trope. Guy walked in on his uncle attempting to rape his girlfriend. Guy beat the uncle until he left, then immediately called the police, who arrived, presumably took…

I'd say it was pretty fucking necessary.

She should just not be so hot. I mean, looking like that, can't see see that she's asking for the attention?

Good for you. Now shut up about what everyone else should do.

Howsabout when your fiance dumps you on your ass a week before your wedding, you do whatever the hell you want with your dress? And we'll all be here NOT criticizing your choice.

This has to be a joke. Oncologist gave it away.

I love how they're throwing mom under the bus; it was all that screeching harpy's fault! So fucking par for the course.

We had a conversation in my house this weekend about how gifts that aren't properly appreciated can be returned. Teenagers are little shits, and if the one living with me doesn't get his act together he can come with me to Target to watch me return his XBox One. Anyone who doesn't like it can kiss my ass AND take the…
