"Because Historical Fact" is almost as satisfying as "Because Science" :)

I used to be a teller at a DRIVE-THRU bank. People used to try to withdraw cash or cash checks all the time and not have a single form of identification on them. And they didn't care for you to point out that they should have their driver's license on them if they are driving through the bank. People are so fucking…
These stories confuse me because don't you have your license in your wallet? And don't you carry your wallet everywhere? Wouldn't she need her wallet for this conference thing? Do they keep their license on a nightstand and make a decision about whether to bring it every time they leave the house?
About the response I'd expect from people who literally think the universe revolves around them.
I'm sorry, she realised it had been in there for 14 days and didn't think it was a bad idea to take it out in the bedroom? Even if it had been there a normal amount of time, you wouldn't take your presumably blood-filled diva cup out IN YOUR BEDROOM. I call bs.
Also, while I've never used a diva cup, I also find it odd…
Look. If you're an American who doesn't think the police treating peaceful protests in Ferguson with the level of invading a hostile enemy city is over reacting, I just don't know what to say to you. Obviously, you're an idiot.
Ooo Whitechapel area would be nice for a chance. Thanks for the heads up!
David Simon, the creator of The Wire, often talks about how there are really two Americas—one economically viable and mostly white, the other economically hopeless and mostly black. In my experience, no place embodies this division more than St. Louis, where I've lived the past few years. You can drive north from a…
"There are reasons why white gun's rights activists can walk into a Chipotle restaurant with assault rifles and be seen as gauche nuisances while unarmed black men are killed for reaching for their wallets or cell phones, or carrying children's toys."
I really liked Violet and Sebastian in all the previous books, but I felt like Countess Conspiracy was about completely different characters. They went from light-hearted fun people to these completely angsty damaged souls. If the characters had been new, and not the ones I'd gotten to know over the series, it would…
Kelly - do you read Courtney Milan novels? If not, you should. Right now. Brothers Sinister has your name written on it. #Truth
Same. My mom's family is purebred Northern, in areas where Veneto and a local slavic/latinate language is spoken. I've been in a lot or arguments. It's fucking pasta fagioli! It's VA-FAN-CUL-O, not ffffangul! I love and respect dialects, but at least know you're speaking dialect and don't correct me!
Most Italian Americas are of Sicilian or Calabrese descent, and at the time their families came over, Italy had just unified and like, 70% of Italians spoke ONLY their regional dialects. Southern dialects are pretty much unintelligible to other Italians. So a lot of pronunciations you here in America are bastardized…
Well, here in Philly, 9/10 Italian Americans will tell you that it IS pronounced tag-lee-a-tell and pasta fazool. There is a separate dialect of Italian words here. That particular dialect just annoys me the most because it takes beautiful italian words (ricotta) and replaces them with heinous gutteral nonsense…
Ok, I'm kind of out of breath and I think I just bought a Jaguar. I don't know what's happening.
That's what you get when you live in a country with no mandatory paid sick leave. That vomit smell? That's the smell of freedom, buddy. 'Murica.
It's because they're not actually pro-life....they're anti-women.
