I involuntarily said “hooooo boy” out loud when I read that part...

I’m still wondering about the investors! Like, how stupid were they?? Wouldn’t you want to see some publications or patents or SOMETHING?! The fact that there was never any published proof-of-principle just seems like a huge red flag to me.

Good. And she won’t really be hire-able afterward, anyway, because she never even finished her undergrad, right?

I am astounded by the capability of humans to build amazing things (hooray Juno!!), and this fucker from ‘Tucky built a giant replica of a mythological boat?! Cool? *sobs*

Isn’t there still something (at least in the U.S.) called “marriage by proxy?”...If I remember correctly, you can be legally married via stand-ins??

This analogy is beautiful and perfect (no sarcasm).

haha, I mistakenly fed this troll down-thread...you handled this much better! :)

Yes, I actually quite like his writing...why is my claim laughable? No one else could possibly be as well-read as you, I suppose?! No, Krakauer definitely does not share my opinion of McCandless, when did I ever state that he did? I don’t have to agree with someone to enjoy their writing; that’s all part of the fun.…

Hahaha, yes, I did read the book...I’ve read all of Krakauer’s work. Of course you can shop at REI and not take part in idiotic adventures that risk your life (more than everyday activities risk your life, anyway). I think, my dear, that it is you who have completely missed the point. Have an excellent day!

Didn’t he also burn all of his cash or something equally dumb...only a rich brat would do something like that.

yes, this! I just wrote about this in a similar comment (but I’m grey...). I still cannot believe how many people entirely miss the point of the story.

for fuck’s sake, did this many people really miss the entire point of the story: rich kid didn’t know what the hell he was doing. Yes, he had a good heart and it was all very hollywood-romantic and made for an awesome adventure story, but, really, the point was pretty obvious (or so I thought)!

I’ve heard so much about Ipsy on here, too...just signed up! Treated myself for my 30th b-day: joined Ipsy and Dollar Shave Club. It’s the little things! :)

I love this gif

Also, I’m going to start referring to my vagina as my “ham wallet”...I needed something to replace “hobby lobby” (that was so last year!)

such distracting crotches :)

TIL that ebaum’s world still exists. huh.

I have Mirena and all of the sudden have the skin I had at 14...so. much. acne. Like, cystic acne. I’m 30. I miss my pills, but I miss my period even less, so acne it is!

thank you, thank you! My Monday is made! Also, great use of cromulent :)

PREACH. Pissing contest was the highlight of my (sad?) life! (Actually, no, it was a very close second after Behind Closed Ovens...damn I miss BCO!)
