I'm an English major and I totally understand. Policies are not creative writing, I'm not sure why you think that would be hard for me to recognize.

And there are still assholes out there that will not get it. People from the south mostly don't have a clue what a safe stopping distance is on ice.. There is nothing we can do about the ice except drive slow. There is no salt. There are no plow trucks.. Just a frozen road and a prayer. Northern Cities hit 100+…

I'd say the issue is using the average temp. Here in Chicago, yes, it can get above 90 in the summer. For a few days, or maybe even weeks. But then the temps slide back down to highs in the mid to low 80's or lower. That's actually quite comfortable, even with humidity. In Birmingham, it is unusual for the high…

my heat dick is bigger than your snow dick etc. just move to southern california. it's wonderful all year round and only a 3 hour drive to snow or unbearable heat.

Okay...

Why would you need to check on someone when the temp hits 90? Why can't you northerners handle your shit?

Bitch, I have a child with Down syndrome, too. She's awesome, and I wish more people would realize that life with this chromosomal disorder isn't a horrible thing. But every time you start spewing your verbal diarrhea about Trig's "right to life" I want to knock your teeth out!

So glad you caught the grammar. That is my biggest pet peeve. I feel like sharing this with her

Worst of all:

Give the media some time, it'll come back to Philly somehow...

Doesn't make the editorial staff of The Believer look very good, either; I'm pretty sure the word they're looking for there is "illicit."

Been keeping an eye on this thread. Abortion clinic worker here.

I've found it pretty much humanely impossible to have all of the compassion required to hear story after story of why women get their abortions. I firmly believe no one needs to tell me their story, it's none of my business. I knew what I was signing up…

Look, I know that we're all supposed to hate Kimmy for being an annoying attention whore, but she manages to keep herself in the news cycle 24/7, and has done so for several years, with our consent. If you want to be mad at somebody, be mad at the media—and the rest of America, for that matter—for keeping her antics…

I guess you've never heard about the opening of Stravinsky's Rite of Spring?

He named his children after two people who were fucking each other?

I think if you look at our history - making abusive behaviors illegal HAVE allowed abused people to get out of abusive relationships. Previously, marital rape was not illegal. Previously, a beaten spouse who went to the hospital had no recourse (legal, social, otherwise) to get out of the relationship. Now, because…

That is the ugliest F'ing purse Regina George has ever seen.

Addendum:

I make it a policy to never reply to burner accounts but I'm going to make an exception in your case, because you illustrate a point that needs to be made about depression, whether or not you're trolling. So let me do you a small favor by replying to and "recommending" your post.
