REALITY BLOWS.

We knew that, though. That's not a shocker. Still...the dream lives.

College student, will shamefully confirm that Domino's is good.

So you spent six posts being a dick instead of just typing the word "Idiocracy"? Your head must be a fun place to be.

That's the thing: it ISN'T deliberate malice. It's something much, much worse: de-sensitized apathy and a ground-in tendency to turn off your basic empathy for your fellow man.

I promise we're not all bad. I love East Tennessee. I fucking despise this douch canoe who makes us all look bad.

I'm a little dismayed because I can no longer tell the difference between a Fox News headline and an Onion headline. They've become their own parody...

I do not find Mia Farrow's graphic illustration of the destruction of their family due to Woody Allen cheating on her with her teenage daughter to be as shocking as the actual destruction of their family due to Woody Allen cheating on her with her teenage daughter.

Talk to the head of the program and ask for a leave of absence. Unless you're funded for a very specific grant, you can take time off and then return, provided you talk to them beforehand. Plus that'll make it much easier to transfer credits/start anew elsewhere if need be. If that's too hard to deal with, ask one of…

Sadly, there people commenting on this website (this very article) who don't believe climate change is a real thing or is still not settled or it's causes are not man-made. In the end, if they don't want to believe it, no mountain of data or consensus will change that.

I saw ball lightning many years ago during a freaky thunderstorm near Saluda, SC. It looked like a small sun about the size of basketball hovering about 2 feet above the road. I couldn't believe my eyes and never thought to hit the brake. I assumed I was hallucinating from some unknown brain tumor or something. As…

My mom saw ball lightning after a large storm in the Detroit area in the late '70s.

Republicans didn’t care when Bush lied about WMDs, nor did they express outrage over 9/11/2001, the Iraq War, or the 13 embassy attacks with 50+ dead under Bush. Their outrage over Benghazi is phony and they are essentially spitting on the graves of those lost in Benghazi for political gain. If Republicans cared so…

There are a number of problems here: you are assuming a causal relationship between maximum protected maternity leave (which you are treating as required leave) and women's economic opportunities, you appear to be only concerned with CEOs & the 1%, you are neglecting all other measures of opportunity, and you are…

In the most respectful way possible...UGH. First of all, Zen and mindfulness are not the same thing. It is misguided to conflate the two. One is a form of Buddhism and the other is a quality of attention. The fact that mindfulness is becoming "trendy" could be a really great thing. But it's important to really…

Also, if you think that mindfulness is another "form of self-betterment", you don't understand it at all.

Also, the number of dependents impacts if you are eligible for subsidies. Right now, as a one-woman family, I get zilch. But, if I were to pop out a wee, tiny BoozyFloozy Jr., then based on my income, I would be eligible for subsidies.

Meh, I like Puddles' version better. ;-)
