Yeeeeah, I don’t know why this surprises anyone. They’re pretty much gummy candy.

If you don’t like giving candy on Halloween, might I recommend small toys? They’re more popular than raisins and toothbrushes, and there are lots of cool things you can get. One house I went to as a kid gave out tiny Halloween themed rubber ducks. (I picked a ghost one, later learned it glows in the dark! I still have…

I hate when people say that handheld games compete with mobile games. No, they provide totally different experiences. Mobile games are just something that people do casually, when they need to kill some time. You get out the handheld game when you have more time for a play session.

^ This is a big reason I dislike uniforms and dress codes. People don’t ever really talk about money in this subject, but I had a dress code like this in middle school and money was an issue. At the time, I was growing pretty quickly and I kept outgrowing my clothes. The dress code required that the polo shirts didn’t…

Usually in areas where schools have dress codes like this, stores like Wal-Mart will stock them, at least in the beginning of the school year.

My middle school had a dress code like this, one of the reasons being that it would reduce bullying. I knew from personal experience that that was BS. You can still get picked on for not wearing the right brand, or some of the girls would have designer purses, or whatever. Schools think that dress codes are uniforms…

I was the “good” kid who did whatever adults told me. Fuck that, I say we stop teaching kids that blindly listening to authority/adults is a good thing.

This crap is why I hate dress codes. They only seem to exist so teachers can exert their power, there’s no good reason for a lot of the rules.

And people wonder why I hate dress codes and uniforms. The vast majority of the rules are arbitrary and just used so teachers can exert their power.

That boy is a true American hero.

Eh, my middle/upper class middle school had a dress code like this. The first year I was there, you could only wear shirts of the school colors, but the next year they loosened up and let you wear any color.

There’s a prehistoric sea turtle called archelon, it was like 15 feet long. If Jurassic Park ever becomes a thing, you can finally ride a giant sea turtle.

A prison spinoff would be fascinating.

Fun, tacky shit isn’t fun when it costs over two thousand dollars.

YES

It still posts to Facebook and Mommyish.

I’m always terribly disappointed that these kinds of stories are ignored by Hollywood. They’d make great films! I’d watch the shit out of a theatrical Harriet Tubman movie!

My roommate told me that our college rec center bathrooms had free tampons and I was all like “Oooh, classy!”.

And only the best dogs were chosen to create this breed. The best and most loyal samurai were sent as far away as Africa to find dogs worthy of being the “Emperor’s Mistress”. Because this breed was bred primarily for function rather than appearance (though they’re certainly beautiful dogs!) they very healthy and can…

In feudal Japan, the only way to receive one these amazing dogs was to get it as a gift from the emperor. Anyone else caught owning one was sentenced to death. Having one was a sign of high status and great honor. Legend has it that this breed also has mystical powers and can protect its owner from even the most…
