Cool! I believe in my right to protest! Fuckin A man, the Constitution is so baller!

Yes but it’s always better to go with a contractor with experience rather than doing a complicated DIY.

I was just going to point this out. If you aren’t exposed to anything other than shitty parenting, it’s very difficult to learn a different way to parent. Abuse tends to be a cycle for this reason. I’m trying to do better than my mom who did better than her mother, but I also have a lot more time and resources…

I wasn’t making an excuse for the mother, nor do I know anything about her upbringing or circumstances beyond what is introduced in this article. I was making an assumption that this story stretches beyond this generation.

I used to do this a LOT, actually - with one small exception. I would smoke a bowl and then pour honey directly into my mouth before eating most of a loaf of cinnamon raisin bread and go to bed until it was Monday.

Not American and while I can see your point it’s hard to deny the differences in the two Americas - the liberal educated cities and the religious conservative and narrow-minded rest of the country. And I know that as a highly educated foreigner, I would only ever live in liberal America. The problems aren’t only…

It’s interesting how if you live in Cali or NY you are not allowed to talk about why you like where you live. There will be a bunch of people from less desirable areas jumping down your throat for “looking down” on them. Yet, they are allowed to express their happiness with where they live, usually by directly…

You already knew someone who thinks they’re clever was gonna make a comment like this. It’s 75 degrees in LA today. I’m going to enjoy myself.

People outside of CA always gets the lulz talking about how we are required to use chains or have 4wd here... likely have never driven over Echo Summit down to Tahoe or over 88 to Kirkwood in a snowstorm. Think winding and narrow with death as a possible outcome if you somehow slid off (to be fair, there are…

Yes. Yes. Yes. People’s ears are broken, and they’re so easily taken in by vocal masturbation.

While yes, they can technically sing, everything they do is so soulless. Listening to their version of Hallelujah is an exercise in taking all the feeling out of a song that is all about feeling. There is a world of difference between being able to hit the right notes and actually bringing life to a song and singing…

Well, here’s where the disagreement is. I don’t think they’re that good, and tend to sort of embody everything that annoys me about pop music. They don’t hold notes, and will just slide off everything. The songs I’ve heard are REALLY heavy on the treble, and the fellas with bass notes are given very little to do while…

I totally see your POV, Aimée. And this is an easy subject to make fun of.

I’ve seen them driving around here in California. It’s just a thing that disaffected young white guys too lazy to go to college are trying out. I hope that they grow out of it because it’s fucking scary.

Yeah, the amount of projection in his responses is kinda sad. Though his “I came here for titties and cars” opening should’ve let everyone know they weren’t dealing with a mental giant.

There is a difference between how the flu is spread versus how an STD is spread. In most cases in which an STD is spread, there is an intentional action. You can’t effectively criminalize diseases like the flu. You analogy is inapt. Actually, it is quite ridiculous. Further, it is not criminalizing the interaction, it…

It was 40 when I left the house for work yesterday in San Diego. I’d imagine LA had similar early morning and evening weather yesterday.

Yep, American doctors just assume that you can’t tell women “a glass or three of wine a week is fine” without women hearing “I can do shots every night.” Meanwhile in France, Italy, Australia, etc. there are much more laid-back attitudes about pregnant women drinking because moderation is assumed. And there aren’t…

Yeah seriously. If Facebook has such a detrimental effect on your psyche, maybe use Facebook differently. Unfriend assholes, turn off notifications, set content to private. These are easy steps.

Don’t like Facebook, get off. I will continue to use it to keep in touch with my friends and family and will continue to not give two flying fucks if you have an issue with that.
