That is why my favorite definition of homophobia remains “the fear that other men will treat you the way you treat women.”

At least when I bring shitty wine, you know I had to make a special trip to the state store.

“We were living in London when we got married in Napa,” Rebekah explains. “Really close friends told us that they couldn’t come because they expected the flights to be about £600, but they were £800. They basically put a price on our relationship and it was £200.

Wait… people still think that multinational companies’ social media accounts are managed by interns?

Because the Girl Scouts do things like accept trans members and let you not say “God” in the pledge (although it’s still there) and don’t have hangups about gay people. I’m not sure at the moment, but as recently as the late 90s you couldn’t be an atheist and be in BSA.

That is completely not what Girl Scouts is about at all. Girl Scouts is pretty heavily into outdoor activties and crafts, learning about finances and business (cookies, etc), and science - more recently STEM related activities.

But do they accept atheists? I have always felt that Girl Scouts has always been (or tried to be) inclusive and the Boy Scouts are just catching up.

The Girl Scouts are vastly superior to the Boy Scouts in every way.

Can you explain yankees with rebel flags? I understand Joe-Jon MacDuffie from Mississippi rocking the stars and bars since his great-great-great grandpa was best buds with Jefferson Davis. What I don’t understand is the midwest/northeast white person whose family showed up 40 YEARS AFTER THE CIVIL WAR. I’m like “what…

Dang how could you forget:

I posted this above but my parents are HOH and my brother and I know ASL but there are huge gaps in our vocabularies because we really only ever used it with our parents who also do speak. People always want dirty words and phrases which we don’t really know since my parents don’t use those types of words at least not…

I would guess that for financial reasons the newscasts are using voice recognition technology, not human transcribers, because 99% of the time it’s one person talking at an elementary school level so how hard can it be, right? Whereas the prerecorded shows possibly use better technology and/or human transcribers and…

I have a friend who’s been an interpreter for years and it is a hard, skilled job. You can’t assume someone can interpret ASL any more than you would hire somebody who has a cousin who speaks a foreign language and sometimes talks to them on the phone to do translations of textbooks!

“Greene’s bosses knew he had a passing understanding of sign language, and that was apparently good enough for them.”

LW: Yep, your boyfriend is likely legally a tenant, even if he’s not paying rent! So I DEFINITELY agree with the written notice business. Keep a copy for yourself. Some places in the US require even longer—you might want to Google “[your state] eviction process” or similar just in case. This is likely classified as…

I agree with you. I’m from Houston and all the people yelling “These people are idiots for not evacuating!” are seriously unable to comprehend just how big of a problem mass evacuation is in such a short time period. People die in cars on the roads (see Hurricane Rita) due to improper infrastructure on the the roads…

People with disabilities, the elderly, people in labor, people who have pets, people who are first responders or in the medical profession, people who couldn’t get gas in time or whose car broke down, people whose jobs wouldn’t wait for them to come back, there’s a lot of reasons and ways you could end up staying when…

Maybe clarify that this is not actually affecting the Drive cloud service but only the apps labeled Drive on Macs and PCs.

So, if my house is bone dry in a flood area, I should abandon it and take up refuge at a shelter which may have someone that may no longer have a home be turned away if they get full up? Sounds logical. It’s looting if it’s luxury items. Foraging groceries that would have been thrown away after the store reopens is…

You deviated preverts are going to have to answer to the Coca Cola company for this.
