Irving Independent School District officials sulkily inferred that there was more to the story and we just don’t get it.

When Obama is out of office, handling these kinds of injustices is going to feel very different. I feel so much pride when our president stands up for those with dark skin and names like Mohamed.

you are a fool, woman. candy corn is delicious carnauba wax goodness. i’ll concede that those candy corn spawn are abominations. why mess with candy corn perfection? (can’t stop saying candy corn. candyfuckingcrackcorn.) if, like me, you are from the 1960s and 70s, you enjoyed candy corn’s heyday. before razor blades…

Having an unconventional, unusual, risky, or rare experience (porn, mountain climbing, making every Julia Childs dish etc) is insufficient preparation for writing good prose. I wish more people got that.

I could har har it with some joke, but it sounds to me like incoherent ramblings of someone with either substance abuse more mental health issues.

One question about that study saying that people are increasingly choosing mates from a similar socio-economic class....isn’t that just because in 1960 women didn’t attend college at the same rate as men, and even if they did, they were unlikely to earn high salaries?

When he uses that word my psyche defends itself by recalling my favorite moments from The Comeback

Great way to convince 51% of the population that you’re not prejudiced against them; disingenuously and generically condescend to them. That’ll do it!

Attraction doesn’t occur in a vacuum. Once upon a time, not so long ago, it was the societal norm to be more into fat women than thin women. The class/body shape flip happened, and now we think the opposite. There’s no way attraction isn’t shaped by its cultural context. That is worth thinking about.

I always thought that was how the argument was framed, people of course said the men were unattractive, but the bigger point seemed to be men are allowed to be fat/older/ugly on TV but women must always be attractive.

Nothing against your comment in particular, but I miss the days when Jez discouraged talking about specific numbers. Now there will be a million comments about whether x height and x weight is really “fat.” Numbers tend to derail the discussion.

Needs moar “cherish”

It’s...not a thing. The subculture of people who are “poly” and “chill” doing heroin casually with people they meet online is exceedingly small. Please don’t do this again. I don’t even know you and I care about you more than a bored poly housewife who’d give an inexperienced stranger heroin.

Re: Gross Body

I think you should have a contractor look at the physical systems to understand if the systems are adequate for what your goals are with the remodel. Also, you may check that the condo association allows the mods you want to make.

Winter is the worst season, and I am confused by all these deluded people. Maybe they all live in the south or something where it only snows a couple times a year?

so many of you guys like winter and now i’m questioning everything i’ve ever believed because how could you possibly think winter is not only good, but the best oh god

CHILDREN OF AUTUMN, WE MUST TAKE UP ARMS AGAINST THE ADVANCING WINTER HORDE! WE WILL SLAY THEM AND BURN THEIR BODIES ON FESTIVE BONFIRES!

#teamweiner forever and ever, amen.

We can hope that an end to this kind of brutality may be one of the good things that comes from the internet and social media, etc
