Yeah, I can be stubbornly, and unrealistically, optimistic at times. One of the state reps from my area was commenting on facebook that rather than progressives leaving the state, we need to work for change from within. She's possibly more delusional than I am.

Yeah. I thought Mitch Daniels was a piece of shit but Pence has actually outdone him. I'm just hopeful that the anger over this continues into the election cycle so we can get rid of him.

I've been looking into it in my free time lately. Homosexuality and sexual identity are not currently federally protected classes. If I'm remembering right, 22 states, plus DC and PR recognize homosexuality as a protected class, and something like 17 or 19 recognize gender identity. It's an issue that's come a long

Sadly Indiana's state constitution doesn't allow for a recall election. So we're pretty much stuck with him for the time being.

As do I. I just keep hoping that people will come to their senses and vote out these idiots next election.

if I'm left-handed do I have the necessary freedoms to swap the gun and the bible? Or should lefties just apologize to the world in advance. Otherwise, WOODEN SPOON PLATFORM 2K15!

I'm way behind on the series but I've heard more than enough rants about this.

The family across the street from me got their dog in a similar way. Someone abandoned a puppy under the guardrail around the lake in my neighborhood. Their daughter saw the puppy and took him home and refused to let them take him to a shelter. Now Duke is a HUGE but super friendly dog who wants to greet and play with

Most helpful thing on the internet today.

My guess, from my former-truck-driver-dad teaching me to drive and explaining on multiple vacations growing up, is he may have passed another slower-moving vehicle just before the video starts, and since there's another one he stayed in the left lane rather than moving an 80K pound vehicle across lanes more times than

My first wasabi experience was with people who actually liked me, luckily enough. (It helps that I wasn't a complete asshole at 19.) We went to a really nice Japanese restaurant in Indy after a karate tournament where guys from my dojo made me try sushi ( was apprehensive but DELICOUS! Especially eel!) and when I

My niece is 8. She's been able to type things for a few years. She just asks how to spell a lot of words. She's always typing up "I love you" notes to us at the end of her weekends with us.

I am rapidly approaching 37 (Friday will be SUPER black for me...) and I can say that this kid has more game than any guy I've been on a date with in the last few years.

If I get that stuck in my head now so help me god I will hunt you down. It's already happening. That line. On repeat. In JB's annoying squeaky high-pitched "singing" voice. UGH.

My high school crush looked like 15 year old Dean Cain. Yes, he was hotter than Alex from Target.

I've been psyching myself up all day to attempt to watch this but nope can't do it sorry.

Did you feel like you had, even after finishing it? Because I didn't.

There's so much more... literally an entire blog devoted to the abusive aspects of the books that goes chapter by chapter and just...NO. It's not romantic. It's not "just kinky sex" it's abusive on multiple levels.

Actually, feminists are OUTRAGED at EL James for depicting a clearly abusive relationship as being romantic and sexy but thanks for playing.
