Mayor Steve Adler’s response, “These kinds of stereotypes about women are hurtful and wrong. Not Austin values.”

thank you, but don’t worry about it. I said something that was stupid. I shouldn’t have said it, and I’m sorry I said it in that way.

Okay, I feel like it would be super if folks would lay off this guy a bit. I have seen awful abuse thrown at overweight men, particularly from other men. Like super mean, violent and humiliating bullying shit. And yeah, the connotations associated with being fat (lazy, stupid, no self-control, etc) are applied to both…

I did say that me even complaining about it felt a bit like complaining about a twisted ankle to someone who’s got two broken legs. Yes, my ankle hurts but I can probably just get through it while your whole life is altered when both of your legs are broken. To keep the analogy going, I can always lose weight and…

As others have mentioned, the article explicitly states that there is a non-physical-nudity option for those who take the course and get buyer’s remorse. If there wasn’t I wouldn’t be okay with this.

I am not old (mid 20’s), I actually don’t think an engineering degree is inherently better (ever hear of tongue in cheek humor?), and I was saying that if you’re being judged on your physical attractiveness, I would have a huge issue with that.

She is saying that the only way she would have an issue with it is if your grade was based on your attractiveness - so as long as having DDs (or some other stereotypically desirable trait) doesn’t impact your grade (i.e., give you a D grade), she doesn’t think it is a bad thing.

NO TAXATION WITHOUT MENSTRUATION

I don’t know about you, but I reject all unnecessary luxuries. “Pamper” myself? Piffle. I never eat out; I make all of my own meals from lentils I’ve grown myself. Nice clothing? Some people don’t even HAVE clothing, you heartless yuppie. I make my own dresses out of discarded newspapers I find on the metro. I don’t…

haha aw thanks! It can get a bit out of hand sometimes. For instance, often when I am really mad and want to be yelling, I end up doing this weird crying-yelling thing, which makes me appear much weaker than I am. AND I HATE THAT.

Fair enough, that makes a lot more sense now. Thanks.

I say this openly as a white male, because I feel in this case it’s only fair to designate myself as such but... what?

Lack of sex education leads to chlamydia outbreak.

Because of course a dude named Chester is going to cheat on you.

I have to say, I enjoy both Horchata and Blue Moon but I did not enjoy Blue Moon Horchata Ale :/

This was my experience and I’m not ashamed to admit it. I didn’t like beer/alcohol in general. I found Blue Moon with an orange slice to be the one beer I liked and the next thing you know, I’m really into hefeweizens and wheat beers, and now I’m on to other ales and lagers. The path to beer discovery is long and…

Blue Moon is a gateway beer. People who don’t like beer can start with cider, then on to Blue Moon. I’ve seen it open people’s beer palattes. It’s a good beer, not a great beer, but a good beer you can find just about everywhere. So meh to this guy. “Artfully crafted” doesn’t mean it’s indie. It’s just a tagline.

Everyone is throwing shade at Blake but I totally get where she’s coming from. I grew up dreaming of going to Harvard. I had a one track mind and it was my singular goal in life to study journalism there. I had Harvard bunting all over my walls and pretty much any and all merchandise you can think of! My mom, who had…
