I was always kind of skeptical about the standing desk thing. The issue (I am no doctor or scientist though, so grain of salt and all that) seemed to be our lack of activity. Whether you’re sitting or standing for 10 hours at work, the human body is supposed to move.

My mom has a bottle of my grandmother’s perfume (White Shoulders) with maybe a millilitre left in it. It sits on my grandmother’s vanity in the spare room and sometimes I walk in on her smelling it. It always makes me kind of sad.
And hey, I bury my face in the collar of my boyfriend’s shirts when he’s away, so I get…

To be fair, Viking funeral pyres are probably about on par as far as price is concerned to a traditional funeral. But I’m game. I want a team of bowmen raining lit arrows down on my longboat instead of the Catholic Mass I’d probably get if my family had any say.

This is weird and I don’t know how I feel about it.

There’s a lot of small burlesque events in Toronto, I can say for sure. At least there were a couple years ago when I still had my ear to the ground about these kinds of things, and I know of a couple off-hand that happen. The trick is finding the good performances, which can sometimes be hard (but that’s true for…

Lindsay Newman’s mother is a cast iron pan-wielding barbarian queen. Bless her.

Wow. I appreciate being upset being denied service, but this is a supremely mean-spirited post putting an artist on blast.
A lot of artists refuse to tattoo knuckles and necks on people who aren’t heavily tattooed. That’s actually pretty industry standard—a tattoo isn’t a haircut. I get that it’s frustrating, but…

Ohohoho. I’ve got one.

I was actually about to comment on how it was nice to see the phrasing “dies by suicide” as opposed to anything else (like “committed suicide,” or, “killed themselves”) when I stumbled across this comment. So thanks for seeking better terminology.

Stenography? Fuck, that is cool. Good luck with that, and thanks!

Oh hey, another Crim student, eh? Awesome!! And thanks for giving me the opportunity to think about this! I felt like while in school I hadn’t absorbed anything, but it’s weird what you retain.

No worries! There’s a lot to remember. Wanton and reckless disregard for life is typically reserved things like criminal negligence (or arson), though. For an attempted murder charge in Canada you need to actually prove intent to murder. I’d type it out from my Criminal Code, but that book has bible-thin pages and I…

Mens rea/intent is actually relevant for attempted murder in Canada. You need to prove that the accused planned to kill the victim, not just hurt them. For murder generally though, you only need to prove that there was an intent to cause bodily harm (though proving intent to murder does help).

Yeah, nah. I actually took a class on polygraphs and I can tell you that they are waaaaaay accurate, and the tack trick absolutely doesn’t work. It’s all a pop culture myth.

*deep breath* Hooooeeee. You know, I like to think I’m a compassionate and progressive person, but then War Machine comes up again and I can’t help but think he needs to put put down like a fucking rabid dog.
Luckily, typing that out felt gross enough that I’ve reverted back to my original stance of “life in prison,”…

Whenever anyone from here on out asks me to provide examples of the criminalization of the Black community, I will point to this shining example of asshattery.

I was seriously just thinking that as I was looking at the photo. The seersucker pants and almost institutionally-starched shirt with the rapist glasses? He should be driving a panel van with the vanity plate “probable cause.” Like, no joke.
Hyperbole aside, this case is getting weeeird.

It got you here though, right?

I was not expecting sweet justice to take the form of scalding soup.

I’m going to go have a shower now.

I have heard this as well, and I also have no idea as far as what the source was. I’m on the internet and could check, but psht, I’m sure there’s someone further down the list who has already done that.
