I am wedding planning for 2017 and I am also sick of these trends. I only get my period every 2 months so it’s been impossible for me to collect enough menstrual blood to make my signature cocktail. 

At that point it’s not religion, it’s just a coping mechanism.

Don’t even get me started about peeling off skinny jeans. Some things, like undressing a woman, sex in the shower, chocolate syrup, and roadhead, are so much better in theory than in real life. You do them once and you realize it’s a pain in the ass.

I think it has less to do with society and more to do with how our brains are wired for motivation. I see what you’re saying, but I think what matters is the method that helps you actually stick to your plan so you can get out of debt. You can crunch the numbers all day and get sentimental about willpower, but if the…

It makes “mathematical” sense to pay off the highest interest rate first. But if we were good at math, we wouldn’t have credit card debt. This isn’t about some philosophical ideal, it’s about getting visceral with the problem and changing your behavior. You have to get mad at the debt and attack it. If you had five…

Yup. To me “classy” is the precise opposite of what it’s supposed to mean. I always picture a Mob wife using that word to describe her plastic-covered furniture.

“I cannot even begin to fathom how a person could look at Michelle Obama and not see class and dignity.”

What she meant by “classy” and “dignified” is “white.” She didn’t like having a black First Lady, and she’s glad that Melania is white. I really think that’s it. Now that you’re out of a job, Pam, have fun with the inevitably rapidly shrinking safety net system under the new President and First Lady you so admire.…

“drowned in moonlight, strangled by her own bra.”

You do realize that the actions Obama took ( and to be fair to some extent Bush before him ) while at the time controversial, saved the US economy from slipping into a depression? Its easy to forget that the DOW fell by 50%, unemployment in some areas were in double digits, gas prices were kissing $5 a gallon, and…

The GOP does precisely as you described and have done so for decades. They are a party who solely exists to serve the energy, healthcare and the financial industries whom write their paychecks. They simply milk your fears and stoke your paranoia on wedge issues unrelated to their vested interests to get you to look…

(1) Can we not do the “eye for an eye” thing when it comes to children?

When Obama took office, the country was shit, it isn’t shit anymore. Old farts with memory issues always seem to forget that.

So, here’s the thing: Random, anonymous posts on Jalopnik aren’t going to impact the historical assessment of Obama as a rather effective president. The people who inform long-term opinions seem to be mostly united in this fact.

First of all, the golf meme is getting old. I’m sure it probably came from whatever right wing propaganda you get your “news” from, but let me nip that thing in the butt: Obama took far, FAR fewer trips than GWB, Clinton, GHB, or Reagan. Its not that its a problem for a President to take a vacation: its a fucking…

You and anyone without a twitter account or who was also blocked, could to a Freedom of Information Act request, say once a week, asking for all his tweets,all the tweets at him, and his direct messages. In fact, people should do this. Every day people should be sending in FOIA requests until he stops using improper…

Whenever I read anything about GRRM and his destined-to-be-completed-by-someone-else sequels, I’m reminded of this from Wonder Boys:

You have to distinguish the early reasons from the later reasons.

Because it is less scary to them that there is a massive conspiracy out there to ruin our lives then the idea that bad shit happens. People come up with enemies and the idea of evil because “Bad shit just happens and people just die for no good reason” is terrifying.

I’d rather spend that $900 of taxpayer money for her to have three squares in prison, y’know? Possibly it’d be a step up from her living standard right now.
