Whyyy.

Ah, duh. Of course beer. And budweiser just stokes the flames.

This is my point. This is what NASCAR represents to the general population (trashy/racist) and I'm on a Jezebel class analysis commenting kick today. I don't like NASCAR, and I am definitely not down with confederate flag bumper stickers, but I do think that it's bullshit if people embrace that Nick Offerman…

Excellent! Validation via comedian is all I needed to fly that motor speedway flag proudly. I do like Nick Offerman, I just think it's funny that NASCAR is moving in on his uber-Americana/Ron Swanson thing as a brand image, and the very strange fan overlap that creates!

Oh no, I'm never going to actually like NASCAR. IndyCar is far superior.

Whiskey is entering new-vodka territory. This means it's soon to be not taken seriously, but it also means buying my dad xmas presents will be much more affordable soon. But what is whiskey's replacement for dudes to be assholes about?

I'm just so over the extreme classism of the "simple" lifestyle. It's easy to make fun of this crowd for all taking the same stupid instagram pictures, but I think there's a decent class analysis in there too that they very carefully try to sidestep.

LOL. I fully endorse calling these people out, if only because I feel like they'd be the first ones to have something to say about "conspicuous consumption" but have you ever attempted this aesthetic on a budget? Not possible. Those shoes/bikes/coffee mugs are super expensive (all relative to what they are). It's like…

There was a big-ass comment war yesterday re some bullshit open relationship that may or may not have been trolling and I think these posts often follow those... not that I'm being a Jezebel truther or anything... I get sucked in either way!

Tinder is definitely a curiosity, but isn't it a dating/hook-up app? It's got a pretty unambiguous usage, right? To me this sounds akin to trying to play off going to a speed dating event as just "meeting some people at the bar".

I just want to respond to the last part of your comment. I don't think you should pressure yourself to be "flexible" to accommodate a partner in a way you aren't comfortable with. I think that it is really good to be open to different ideas of what monogamy means and how that works for different couples, but it's also…

I personally have had no negative side effects at all (and I usually get a few emotional or irregular spotting issues with the pill) and have been completely happy with it. Initially I had significant bruising at the insertion site and it was a little sore, but they will put a bandage on to cover it which helps a bit.…

I refuse to take Uber by myself because I feel like it's too easy for it to be taken advantage of in this way. I think a lot of it is my discomfort with the general start-up attitude where everyone is a general "good person" and just the basic security checks will do. I just don't feel able to trust strangers like…

Implanon or nexplanon - they are the hormonal implants inserted into your upper arm. They aren't as popular in the US but the insertion is very easy and non-invasive. No risk of forgetting because it's in your arm and it lasts three years!

I want to add another voice in favor of the implant (either implanon or nexplanon) in your arm! Something I never see brought up is their value for people who have been through sexual trauma but who may still want an IUD-like effectiveness in birth control.

Their clothes never fit me right either!! I loved their catalogs so much (while typing this I even reverted to my old habit of calling catalogs "magazines" because to my pre-teen mind they counted as entertainment). I would highlight and circle and rank each item by how much I wanted them. Then when they came in the…

I get the concern that people in the Greek system have over these issues, because it's an important part of their identity/lives and it feels like a frequent attack trope when sexual assault can, and does, occur anywhere. It's just frustrating to me to feel like the effect on frats is being considered as much of a…

But it's not equal, that's the problem with all of this. Fraternities (and the Greek system at large) historically and currently hold lots of power within universities, particularly large state ones. They have lots of wealthy members and lots of wealthy alumni. I know there are unfair stereotypes and I know it hurts…

In some sense, these people who are unable to code their extreme views or update their 80's/90's welfare-queen scare tactics are kind of a relief because they're so clearly wrong. They've painted themselves into a corner where they come off as blatantly racist/sexist/hateful, a breath of fresh air among their peers…

I am not sure if you intended this reply for me, but I honestly do appreciate your tactful and diplomatic take on pretentious 20-something dudes wearing awful hats.
