It’s like people can’t even wrap their heads around it. I say I don’t want kids, they say “oh you say that now.” like I’m going to suddenly turn my decision around thanks to some wise stranger. THANK YOU STRANGER, I NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT THAT. MAYBE I DOOOO WANT KIDS!?

It is so weird how people feel the need to butt into your personal life! I guess the good (ish) news is that it honestly doesn’t matter what you do, people will still comment. My mother (who had six of us, and would have had more if she could) constantly had to deal with people being like “oh, you have an even number…

I’m so glad you’re not having kids if you’re being that sexist.

Yep. It can seem racist by proxy, but it’s really just more ethnocentric. Human beings are conditioned to care about 1) things that impact us and 2) things that specifically deviate from the patterns we’re used to.

I think it’s indisputable that America has closer ties to Western Europe (officially, culturally, and more often than not on an individual level) than it does to Turkey or Lebanon.

BINGO!

But my favorite beer styles are all Belgian!

Honestly it’s pretty simple. Bombings in places like Beirut and Istanbul are expected. That perception may be right or wrong but regardless of that, it’s the driving factor in coverage.

No. This is America. Choose black or white. You only get one opinion, pal.

That’s the most epic burn from an ex-Niners’ coach since Tomsula accidentally used the linen setting when ironing York’s silk shirts.

Quiet you! I, one of millions of Internet people, want multi-billion dollar corporations to bend to my whims for products I'll never buy just so I can have something to complain about because my first world life is too easy and this is all I have.

According to this website, there are 106 Aaron Rodgers in the US: http://howmanyofme.com/search/

I really want the Broncos to win a Superbowl with Sanchez purely for the devastating effect it would have on Philadelphia.

Really, every single NFL team is trying to find their own Aaron Rodgers—and there’s only one Aaron Rodgers.

Ahh yes, the Texas Two-Step.

So you want to take a (somewhat) promising talent, sit him on the bench until he reaches FA, and then lose him for nothing?

I have to laugh at the image in my head of you sitting there, patiently, just waiting for a chance to answer a weatherstripping question. I bet you got so excited you almost spilled your coffee.

my time to shine!!! I worked for *INSERT OEM HERE* as a release engineer for weatherstrips, and DLO’s those chrome strips around the windows are not so easy to change color, they aren’t like a bumper, or insert on the side of the car. they are almost always stainless steel or aluminum usually stretch-bent or stamped.…

On one hand, I feel really bad for this poor girl. Trying to do something to impress people who don’t like you only to literally fall on your face.
