pre-internet, i ordered boots from ll bean. because i have a woman's name (being female and all) they called to make sure i wanted to order men's boots. i did not. i wanted boots for me. they fixed that right quick and saved me from my stoner self. 30 years later i am still wearing those damn boots.

I am not an old and I still love LL Bean. Sweaters and barn coats 4lyfe. Smart wool socks. Like I just don't see the downside. It's so pragmatic. You are just right.

Plus, trust, if anybody saw me in my everyday chosen attire (i.e. not work clothes) they'd think I dress weird AF. You can weird up some LL Bean if you…

Holy shit I love LL Bean. How can a company even operate when you can return their shit years later? IDK. IDEK.

I thing the four ladies picked are hilarious. I also loved Ghostbusters. But, I admit, I don't understand (other than the standard "Hollywood has run out of ideas") why these four ladies couldn't make a NEW movie that becomes iconic instead of a re-do, which will inevitably not be as good because in our collective…

Devil's cupcake sounds delicious. I know that's not the point, but it's lunchtime and I'm starving.

i kind of wanna poison your mom a lil

I always thought the wedding party should be dressed to match the type of venue. So no big showy dress if you're in a small humble church, no less formal dress for a big cathedral, etc. This applies to the guys as well: if you're in a big traditional church, you better be in black with a bow tie. But I'm a dude, so…

I think those are different sororities. I mean, obviously you should be disciplined for damaging people's property, but the sorority that disciplined people for using Uber are not the same sorority that allowed damage to property.

This.

I didn't move around much growing up, but was tormented mercilessly and never understood what I was doing wrong. I'm now in my 30s. I recently came across a quote by child development psychologist Erik Erikson, "I am what survives of me." I like this because I feel like all of the awful, traumatic bullshit I've been…

It's a liability thing. If the Uber driver got in an accident or assaulted a sister on the way to a function it would be a shitstorm. The rule is you show up on the bus, you leave on the bus. There is the asterisk of course, if you got alcohol poisoning, you would be allowed to ride home in the ambulance...

They are probably different sororities.

Liability. They need to be able to keep tabs on how girls got to the event. AKA nobody drove drunk and then said "I took an Uber here".

I agree! You can't reimburse for patchwork quilts made by your grandmother. In my family those are supposed to be treated like sacred relics.

Regarding people getting into trouble for taking Uber: it's not sorority chicks being petty, it's about liability (as with much of sorority "laws"). When there are official sorority parties, all attendees are required to take the official transportation to and from the event (shuttles are provided). They don't want to…

probably they all traveled together so if you took an uber they couldn't account for where you were.

I'm confused. You get punished for not attending parties, but being barred from parties is a punishment?

WHAT THE ACTUAL F*CK?!

I thought Hurt Locker was a really great movie about what it's like to be a conflict journalist - sort of a meditation on adrenaline addiction. The war parts were notoriously inaccurate, which brought it in for criticism from the veteran community (not that we are or should be considered the best source of criticism…

What did you think of the Hurt Locker?
