“Anglo-American law enforcement”. Not something to be proud about, sir, as ANY non “Anglo American” probably has a litany of stories about how law enforcement treated them like garbage. I know my family does.

I’ll save my Olympic sex quotient for downhill speedos, thanks.

Completely disagree about Thorgy.

Yeah, I was a case worker in adult education and experienced many similar scenarios. We had multiple generations of students from the same family with the same rap sheet: drugs, booze, multiple children (more than 3) before 22, cognitive impairments from substance abuse, etc. And a good chunk of them were lower/…

This is the new “Ew Michelle” and I am so proud to see it. So proud.

Take it with a grain of salt, but coming from the Greek community (where EVERYONE gossips) the hazing in NPHC frats and sororities is reportedly MUCH worse. I have seen what happens to girls and guys that deviate from “The Line” and although not universal, we NEVER had anything remotely comparable, though those…

I didn’t, but man it’s funny that certain Greek orgs attract like personalities across the country.

ZBT was the WORST at my university, so I am not surprised. Our sisters tried to actively avoid them and discourage other girls from going to their parties.

In his defense, geese shit like crazy. We had a pond behind our house when I was growing up, and the neighborhood kids were ALWAYS trying to navigate around geese droppings. You actually couldn’t play barefoot in your yard, and it was a bitch to mow the lawn at times.

What kind of school doesn’t have free feminine hygine products? Even my Catholic elementary school had products in the nurse’s office for students that needed them. We even had the option of leaving our products there, since our school didn’t have lockers.

Your second paragraph has been said to me A LOT when I mention not wanting to be pregnant. The irony of course is that I am adopted myself.

No one wants to watch the shittiest fanbases in football celebrate/ riot. I guaranfuckingtee that if the Jags and the Vikings were playing, it would have been different. I don’t know about the Jags, but the Vikes have a reputation as one of the nicer fanbases. Both teams also came out of nowhere this season.

I’ll put my money on “high ranking agent REALLY wanted to go to the Super Bowl and made a bullshit argument”.

With vocal hardliners,absolutely. But people that may harbor resentments they don’t really articulate? It is a bit more nuanced. I say this coming from middle America. Sometimes talking to people works. Does it result in them becoming radical members of the #resistance? No. But I HAVE seen people make not…

“Life has punished... more than the justice system”

Super late reply, but you encapsulated the feeling of “hover over Publish” completely. (and for what it’s worth, you were always a cool kid before there were cool kids and always had insightful commentary)

Philly host? Disclosure: I am MN bred and live here now, but spent 10 years in New England. That means we have to resort to fisticuffs :p

That’s the problem with one note characters that hit that one note very early: There really isn’t anywhere else to go.

MN HAS hosted before, but it was over 20 years ago in the Metrodome, which lacked the seating capacity.

Exactly.
