So, your solution to the problem of tech not being able to retain female employees is telling the female employees that they are the problem and are being babies? Someone is being childish here, but I think you need to look in the mirror. Not being able to say whatever you want, the way a toddler does, is truly being…

Head to Oaxaca in late July for the Feria Nacional de Mezcal. You can taste a huge variety for a couple bucks and maybe see La Guelaguetza while you're there.

That tiny piece of info somehow just upped my weirdo quotient for her incredibly.

Bill Murray cares about everyone.

Then try saying that (because it's a legitimate clarity question) instead of being an asshole.

These pictures would have been considered SERIOUSLY scandalous at the time. No one was supposed to see anyone in a swimming suit (or "bathing costume," as they were called then) at all. It was akin to being seen naked. People did not hang out on the beach at that time unless they were fully dressed.

Dachshunds were bred to kill badgers, e.g., so yeah, it's the size of the fight in the dog. My friend's little terrier has teeth the size of my 100 lb mutt's. I have no doubt he'd be a fierce opponent.

It's the pro-racoon industry bringing us movies like Pom Poko, making us feel bad about urban sprawl and pushing those sweet shapeshifting racoons out of their habitats!

To be fair, cats kill for fun, too.

Which? Their Eyes Were Watching God? It is pretty amazing. I read both these books this past fall. I am a little bit bitter that I got through high school and 2 bachelor's degrees (one as an English major) without having to read either of them.

That's just an instance of surplus killing, which is exhibited by many predatory species.

Tough little dog! Must have been a proud day!

Here's one doing a Jason Vorhees impression

Seriously, that book gave me a serious fear of rabies (I also read it, like, right after To Kill A Mockingbird, which also has that rabid dog show up).

I'm scared of them. Once, I looked in my backyard at night and there was a troupe of raccoons in my yard. One of them saw me watching, stood up, and started masturbating, all while locking eyes with me. Yes, I was intimidated.

me, too.

Sugar cubes, too.

"They're very cute, but totally vicious."

Death by Cute?

and their hands are super-soft, like a fine leather glove. if you ever get a chance to let a tame raccoon pat its hands on your face, do it.
