A really close friend of mine (call her S) had something similar happen. She flew to Vegas on a short vacation with her girlfriends this past spring, when she visited a medium.

There should be a thread for terrifying stories from academic job searches. Here’s mine: at lunch on the first day of a campus visit with three older professors (two men and a woman). One of the men casually says something cringeworthily sexist, and the woman is visibly offended. The other man seems oblivious. I sit…

I realize I’m late and few people are going to read this, but what you said reminded me of something that happened to my friend, who’s also a massage therapist.

It’s not hard. The last Civil War widow died in like 2011.

Can we talk about that paintjob in the header?

“I was on welfare! Nobody gave me a handout!”

Well, I graduated in 2001, and as one of the handful of white kids in an overwhelmingly black high school I had a great experience. I also know that the nearby white schools and some of the white teachers absolutely looked down on the students, and I had white friends from the neighborhood who only went to private…

Nothing shows how out of touch automakers are more than how much they talk about classes. No one gives a shit about whether a car is a midsize.

You’re right. They’re totally cool with it.

Also Vikings haven’t existed for about 1000 years, ‘Viking’ is not a term used to refer to anyone today, and, like buccaneer, pirate, cavalier, refers to historical professions rather than ethnic, racial, etc. groups.

It would be like the Vancouver Canucks’ logo being a cartoon guy with a Canadian tuxedo and a case of beer.

Then why the arrowhead logo?

I know

That’s actually what I yell everytime I take a shit in the middle of a Best Buy.

Don’t feel good for the Cubs. They get so much undeserved attention and idiotic nostalgia, and their fans are the fucking worst. As someone from Detroit, I hate the White Sox but I also feel really bad for how much they get ignored in favor of an absolutely shitty franchise. Lots of teams have long championship…

Don’t forget the old, racist Cubs fans!

I find it a little funny that your more nuanced take (which I mostly agree with) leaves out things like segregation when talking about old Cubs fans from the Northside.

I’m so glad your comment has zero stars.

Yeah, hockey blades aren’t meant to cradle the puck like that, so it’s pretty hard to control. It’s totally a trick, but a pretty difficult one.
