Raised differently?? Fine. But to imply my parents didn’t respect me or were “asshole tyrants” is a dickhead thing to say. If Shoe just wanted to point out that he/she was raised differently, then he/she could have just said that. It was a condescending, and yes asshole, response.

When I was a kid, we lived near a reservation in California. I had a few Native American classmates, but the majority were white. One weekend, one of the boys who lived on the reservation had a birthday party. He invited our entire class, including the 25-ish white students. Of those white classmates, only me and one…

Did we have the same parents? Mine did the exact same thing, and I still vividly remember the first time my mom lectured me when I was having a birthday party and didn’t want to invite someone (my mom was and is a black belt in parental guilt). I was in the 1st grade, and this was my first “big kid” (I know) birthday…

What the shit???? When I was a kid, my parents made me go to several classmates’ parties that I didn’t want to go to.

Don't take up more than one seat.

Betts spectacularly robbed Bryce Harper of a two-run homer, walked, stole two bases on one play, scored on a single, and hit a three-run homer before two innings had been played in this game.

The type of person to write a letter like this claims to be from Boston, but in reality lives no further south than Lowell—most likely somewhere in New Hampshire.

Dear Matt,

I work at a university, and two years ago I sat on an admissions committee. Our prospective students (this is a graduate program) are asked to submit short videos that tell us a little bit about themselves and why they want to come to our program.

Only a deranged asshole would order bacon extra limp, then offer said gelatinous fatty tissue to a terrified waitress as a peace offering. Crispy or nothing, limp dick psycho Santa.
