Eh, a lot of things started out primarily as war-related.  Those compact electronics in  your smartphone exist because the US military needed compact electronics for missile warheads back in the 20th century. 

I learned later that I was not alone in this feeling. It is called the “Overview Effect” and is not uncommon among astronauts, including Yuri Gagarin, Michael Collins, Sally Ride, and many others. Essentially, when someone travels to space and views Earth from orbit, a sense of the planet’s fragility takes hold in an…

It looks like she’s being accused because she’s a pretty woman.

Why did she give any money back to the little whiny baby? I’ve played plenty of poker, and sometimes you play poorly and still win. That’s poker.

Him throwing a big ass tantrum and accusing her of cheating would have made me just shit talk him and take advantage of his tilt.

20 yrs of gymnastics, and therefore foam pit, experience here. The foam looks standard, but the depth must have been decided by someone whom knew nothing about the proper usage. Gymnastics pits are usually 8-9ft deep, with a layer or 2 of solid foam below the blocks. 2.5ft of foam does nothing. It's almost as if some…

I think, from the context, the outrage stems from the guy’s whole online public persona revolving around being a “wife guy” whose content was heavily centered around his devotion to his wife and family and included them in a lot of said content.

“While it’s clear that women athletes—who have always taken up the mantle of operating as activists both for themselves and for their sport—are dedicated to keeping BG’s name in headlines, in social media chatter, and in the minds of anyone who remotely cares about women in this country, Mulkey’s response is a stark…

Maybe if the app expanded into Russia, they would find the ladies they want.

This app was doomed to fail. The women who are attracted to the kind of men who would be on this app start dating their future husbands in high school and get married as soon as they get out of high school or college (yes, sadly, some of these women actually a little education). Women who’ve remained single into their…

The reason the job is dangerous is because the people doing it are cowboys who don’t take their own (or their coworkers) safety seriously. Presumably because doing so would be insufficiently manly and/or taking the time to do it properly would eat into profit. Like lumberjacking (another “very dangerous” job)- there…

“Who you calling a bucket bunny, you lint licker?!”

I’ve got a friend whose dad passed away relatively recently. She is very well-educated, with a long and established career of her own, and she has for years identified largely as the daughter of a lineman. It is infuriatingly weird.

Have you never met a military spouse or a law enforcement spouse?

“Linewife”? I find it so fucking weird and sad that anyone would want to define themselves by what their spouse does for a living. Like, if your spouse decides to to change their career path, do you then become “Accountantwife”? Or do you just crumble into dust and cease to exist?

While I know this job can be dangerous......For FUCKS SAKE your husband isn’t going off to war for a year. Jesus Christ.

She hasn’t got enough sail on. 

Sorry in advance for the novel. As someone who’s spent too much of his life playing and studying poker, I think I can shed some light on the mechanics of the alleged device cheating.

You should clean out the lint tray after each use. Those other things are your choice.

What kind of insane person doesn’t clean their lint tray literally after every use? Should I also wipe every time I take a shit? Turn the stove off when I’m not using it? Turn the mower off when I’m reaching down there to unclog it?

I thought the burial story was too far fetched to even be feasible until I actually saw the photos. I actually have to hand it to Trump. He and his vile spawn children have actually stooped to a level of depravity that I didn’t think was possible. At this point, you would have to convince me that they did not play a…
