I mean F. Scott Fitzgerald personally. Yikes, snarky.
Yes, in high school they talk a lot about the conclusion being American excess, but the conclusion is a little more opaque when you consider who the hell Fitzgerald was (a bro with a drinking problem and a penchant for villas). It’d be better to say the…

“Indeed, the party looked very nice and lovely until everyone remembered that the Great Gatsby was polemic against American excess as much as anything.”
I don’t know if that’s true. Bro kind of made a point to live a life of American excess.

Yes. This is my favourite dynamic. My character has never deserved to be the lone wanderer.

...How does one end up stabbing someone 24 times in self-defence?

I’ve got a lot of weird stories, but this one freaks me out especially for the implications.

I really wasn’t sure what I was going to think of him (my riding was formerly NDP and is now Liberal, but whatever, I think things should be shaken up intermittently), and was concerned that his earlier kowtowing to the Conservatives was indicative of what we’d be getting. But considering he was doing a lot of that…

Last night when the results came in I thought, “Huh. I bet there’s going to be a lot of news about how Trudeau is a babe.” This is the eighth article I’ve read on the topic today.
Coincidentally, here is a meme that made me laugh a lot.

The decision disappointed Ogden School District science specialist April Mitchell, who told the Tribune that the omission would “create a misconception that our temperature currently is constant. I think taking that out is withholding evidence from students.”
Or, you know, flat out lying to them.

They are definitely still part of the commonwealth. Definitely backing your racism idea over something related to commonwealth vs. not-commonwealth logistics.

I do not understand this either. As far as I’m concerned, if you really want room temperature water or whatever, just get tap water and wait the half hour it takes to reach room temp. Don’t harass the servers with your strange power trips.

“There doesn’t appear to be a charitable aspect to their drug use, either.” It’s because this is exactly the kind of idea a wealthy person with a cocaine habit—a group known for their self-obsession and supernatural ability to miss the point—would come up with.

It’s pretty clear that we’re dealing with a set-up-to-fail scenario here. Whoever was in charge of hiring is now able to go, “Oh, we tried to get a fresh perspective, and grow and change, but it clearly didn’t work,” sabotaging an effort they were already terribly afraid of from the beginning.

“It is her contention that sex workers who are victims of sexual violence are not equivalent to “innocent” women.”
I think the term here is “worthless victim,” if I remember correctly, which sounds awful and harsh, but there is definitely an ambiguous set of checks and balances for what makes a victim a “good” victim,…

Thank you for weighing in, CNN. You can go back to your humid cave now.

“I never actually went the other way with it by insisting on boyfriends being taller than me; most of them were shorter because most men are shorter than me.” I feel you. I’m 5’11”, and my mother lamented that I haven’t dated a taller man ever when I brought my boyfriend over. It’s not on purpose, it’s just…

“In an interview with Time, she defended her tirade, describing it as satire.”
Very quickly illustrating the fact that she has no idea what satire is on top of being awful and mean.
This seems to deserve repeating: Seriously, punch up, not down.

That is certainly true sometimes, and I agree with you. But that isn’t the case with the Ranger school, which is what this article is discussing.

Fantastic! I hope they open the regiment soon, it’s about damned time.

There is only one training standard. I suggest reading up on a topic before complaining about it.

Well, the point still stands. No one is telling you that you have to replace your lettuce with greens you’d rather not eat. It’s just suggesting it as a more nutritious method of salad creation that someone may not have considered. Is it still more nutritious than iceberg? Absolutely. Does anyone have a gun to your…
