Verisimilitude, dude!

“Don’t try me” or else what? Can the umpire eject the crowd at her request? Give the match to her because the crowd is unruly? What exactly is she threatening them with?

I think it is a condition for any crime. I don’t think they take people who’ve been mugged in mugging cases, for example.

Because ‘black cooties’ travel through water even more easily than they do through air?

I thought the anger about manspreading was because dudes were taking up two (or more) seats and selfishly forcing other people to stand. But it looks to me like ol’ Harry is sitting in a one person chair without any other chairs even particularly close to it. Have we moved past needing a reason to hate manspreading,…

Some of truly believe that life starts at conception, and they’re saving people’s lives by limiting or eliminating legal abortions. You can tell these ones apart from the rest because they are big into adoption, or donate a large percentage of their gross income to helping needy children. They also tend to be…

1) “Hey, you wanna go out sometime?”

Don’t some states keep their child molesters in segregated units just so the other prisoners don’t kill them?

How many short notice mammograms can a woman have? Not so many, I suppose.

My inexperience with sexual harassment claims is showing, I guess. The place I work has fired 4 men (that I know of) for sexual harassment in the 20 years I’ve worked there. The usual way (3 out of the 4) it worked :

We are the bland background against which other people’s diversity stands out, alas!

Easy to tip big when you’ve made ~$4,000,000 in the last 4 years from television, movies, endorsements, and such. Still, lots of the people who make that much don’t spread the joy, so kudos to her.

He gets called into HR and is told he’s being fired because they’re still getting sexual harassment complaints about him. He then thinks to himself: “Who did I compliment and ask out to lunch/proposition earlier today/yesterday? Hmm.. Just that lady in the museum that I am currently fixated on...”

Where’d you get the information that HR told him her name? I just assumed that figuring it out from context was pathetically easy.

Initiating physical violence and causing grave bodily injury to someone because something they said has upset you is ‘proper’? Seems like the difference between you and Mr. Kozak (the shooter from the article) is one of degree, not kind.

“And then I went to prison for 5 years for felony assault!”

Maybe we need to start accounting for all these expenses, add interest, and present a bill to the kid when they turn 18. Add in their student loans, and they might be debt free by the time they die, if they live a poverty lifestyle while earning a middle class income.

No bills for heat, coconuts can be collected from the roadside for free. It really helps a lot.

I’ve been witness to several sticky relationships as well, and haven’t seen one change from exclusive to open successfully. My experience has been that the change to open is one partner’s idea, and the other only goes along with it grudgingly, because they’re afraid that if they don’t, they lose the other all…

For years, my tool kit consisted of a socket set, a multi-head screwdriver, a manual drill, a hammer, and a hacksaw. I found this sufficient to cover the basics (adding your own elbow grease) as a person living in relatively small apartments.
