If you remove the comma from the title, the article suddenly gets much more interesting.

The neatest experience I had was enjoying a traditional Emirati lunch at the Sheikh Mohammed Centre for Cultural Understanding. The lunch is served on the floor and you recline on pillows. There is a “Questions and Answering” presentation where no question is off limits. Really. “Why do your women dress like that?”…

Pet peeve of mine - What is up with the giant quotes in the middle of the article which repeat something that’s already been said? I’ve seen other websites use it too, and it always annoys me when I start to read it, and then realize halfway through that I’ve already read it.

Well stated. People often forget that there may even be more than 1 factor at play with shootings, and the fact that there’s no actual research means nobody’s argument is based on fact. They say “Britain hasn’t had this type of shooting since banning guns” but forget we didn’t have them before the advent of the…

Owning guns is a “character issue”? Refusing to own guns is the “rational thing” to do?

Dumping guns into a deep fryer is easily the most ‘Merican thing that anyone could ever do...

Maybe shes hungry.

You sound dumb.

Empire would have been rated pg 13, luke getting his hand cut off, Han being tortured, that would have been enough to move it to pg 13...except that rating literally didnt exist in 1980.

I’m tipping based off complexity of the order. If they’re opening bottles or pouring a draft, that’s a buck per. If they’re mixing something I might give two dollars. I don’t think cost should be a factor. Say they crack open a Bud Light or they crack open an imported beer? I’m supposed to tip more because the beer…

Your dry t-shirt contest promotion sounds awesome.

or better yet, lay the sprouted garlic cloves on a little tray with a sprinkling of water next to the windowsill, and let the shoots grow a bit. You don’t even need soil, you can lay down some pieces of cottonballs that are kept moist, and lay the sprouted cloves ontop.

Two whole dollars? Does your garlic come plated in gold?

I don’t share most/any of my passwords with my wife for one simple reason.

Getting married does not mean surrendering private autonomy.

I had this happen to me. I walked in on my boss crying (we shared an office). But she wasn’t just crying, she was on the floor under the desk hiding and crying. She was on the phone with her current boyfriend, trying to get him to rethink leaving her. I dropped off the stuff I wanted to put on my desk and left. I…

In my mind there’s a distinction between actively crying and simply tearing up. Crying is much, much easier to suppress. Crying could also be construed as manipulative whereas tearing up is more or less involuntary.

Not necessarily. Genes don’t just code for one specific thing alone, they are far more complex than that, and they interact with each other, and can be methylated to switch on, or off, various components of a sequence. Long story short: some aspect of resistance to one chicken-only antibiotic could easily be…

This woman is a piece of shit and deserves dried out, cut dicks for the rest of her life.
