Literally has happened.

“Good for you!” pats you on the head.

I edit a beer magazine so me and the SO go to beer bars and breweries quite a lot. Every single time the bartender will strike the conversation up with my SO about beer styles, trends, etc. and he’ll have to gesture over to me with while saying “I dunno, I don’t know much about beer. She’s the editor of xxyy magazine.…

When I first decided to ask my wife out, it took me awhile to build up the courage. I was always kind of shy, so that didn't help. When I finally went for it, it was after months of us getting closer to one another. So when I said it, I laid it all on the table, told her everything about how I felt about her.

I would love to see an interview with her now. See how it changed her life. Did it open her mind and she decided to become a rebel or did she go back to being a "normal" housewife. Did she have kids? Did she tell them about the time Mommy took acid for science?

I am kind of surprised at the responses to this article. What I want to say is "Fuck Southwest for trying to be a moral compass of any kind. I don't need a gate agent monitoring my clothing choices for appropriateness". But what I am hoping is that someone will come in and rationally explain to me why it was ok for…

What about the time Virgin denied my 21st Amendment rights because "Ma'am, you're being belligerent and we have to cut you off." I THOUGHT THIS WAS AMERICA.

Mah freeze peach! XKCD is always relevant:

That's still nowhere near as egregious as the time when a US Airways flight denied my 7th amendment right to two bags of peanuts.

Nothing has made me question everything about myself as much as falling in love did.

I used to be poly, for about 5-6 years in my early 20s, until I realized that there's a physics problem involved.

Love requires time and energy. Time and energy are finite. Thus, there is only so much love one can actually give, long term, without eventually becoming drained & exhausted.

If each person gets half your…

Weird. I've only seen it in the exact opposite situation.

It's very nice that you found an environment in which you are happy, but I do wish people would stop deferring to evolution every single time. The people who write books and push the idea that humans "evolved" or "didn't evolve" to be monogamous or play football or drive a Toyota Cressida do so with very flimsy…

definitely. this was pretty much textbook to me as far as side-eyeing a name goes. if they thought this word was pretty and didn't know the meaning, well...fair enough, if a little vapid (especially considering they accented the word correctly). if they thought this word was pretty and did know the meaning, which is…

i think i was trying to get at the idea of names having cultural meaning. like you mentioned name origins - there's meaning in those names because of their origins. but i also slightly disagree with you about "made up" names; sometimes, i think a name is just silly. but that's down to personal opinion, and i certainly…

i think this is just a lot of misunderstanding. i was making fun in a face-palming way of the parents because "deja" means "already" in french. they literally named their child "already." i found that silly and/or stupid, in the same vein that i think gwyneth paltrow naming her child "apple" is silly/stupid.

For real. It's all sensible fun and bubblegum until the hormones kick in, chica— then you'll be making the same braindamaged decisions as the rest of us! Live it up while you can!

And then ... adolescence arrived. And it all changed. Alas. heh heh Sorry for the cynicism.

I am disturbingly mesmerized by that gif.

Yours beats mine. Which is summed up thusly:
