Yep. Our HS valedictorian was jehovas witness and at rehearsal some adult lost their mind that she was sitting through the pledge and the anthem. She agreed to stand politely just so as not to cause a scene. Some people grumbled at that because she didn't have hand on heart reciting along. Yeah don't worry about that…

As is he. And I bet those bitching now had nothing to say about this:

Everything’s a fucking competition to some people.

I’m continually baffled about the full-throated demand for visible patriotism. It’s possible to be very patriotic without plastering the flag over every part of your body, wearing flag pins, or arranging one’s limbs in required formation during moments of high emotion. There’s no requirement to put one’s hand over…

Stop stressing Gabby out for no reason.

You might be thinking of Maya Dirado who will be consulting for McKinsey after this. Ledecky is starting college in the fall, so she will likely participate in at least one more Olympics.

This video shows one dude in the middle of the street getting hit by a car. It’s shocking but it’s not as this post says “driving through a group of protestors who had gathered and were blocking the street.”

The Four Rules

Stated somewhat differently: What in the BLUE Fuck?

Don’t argue about reality.

No shit.........God I miss the days when simple dumbasses like myself could understand the scoring system that went from 1-10.

Pool Tech here - This is embarrassing. Algae is easily controllable/preventable with proper chemical maintenance. One bottle of “Yellow Quell” would take care of this in 12 hours. I wouldn’t allow anyone to swim in this pool. Why the fuck exactly didn’t they make this an indoor facility?

Cillian Murphy, so hot. even his voice, hot. Cannot wait for the next season.

Then the couple yelled at the cop for overcooking the pasta.

My eyes keep coming back to that mustache/sideburn combo on the officer on the right. He’s the rookie, clearly, but the focus isn’t on him. It’s on the guy behind him, turned away from us, his veteran partner with the paunch. He’s affectionately called Paunchia della Polizia by the other officers, which he gamely…

They were overcome by loneliness, but not too sad to eat a big plate of pasta. How kind and thoughtful for the nice officers to make it for them (and, apparently, clean up afterwards!).

it actually hurts me how hot cillian murphy is on this show. sometimes he looks like a total lizard person but OMG does the peaky blinders look work for him

What is this strange land where a SWAT team didn’t break down the door and shoot everyone inside the apartment? And then the police made them dinner?

Wait. Is this story heartwarming or heartbreaking? On the one hand, it seems very sweet of the police to cook for these two and offer them a bit of company. On the other, I cannot get my own Italian grandparents (Nonno and Nonna) out of my head. They are alone in their house and I have never cooked THEM pasta! Nonna…
