If she’s an underclassman, maybe you shouldn’t be dating teenagers

I think it is an easy way to look like you are doing something about campus sexual violence. Most of student on student violence is a slippery slope of booze and plausible deniability, and no one wants to believe it is as bad as it really is or put in the tremendous effort needed to fix campus culture. Banning…

I love revolutions! I’m still back in the English one and it is fantastic, though, much the like the Romans, I wish the English lords wouldn’t all change their names and titles every five minutes.

I totally agree. My goal for fitness and weight puts me in a normal healthy range for someone with my body type and height, and at it I wear a size 12. I’ll never look like those models. I know intellectually that will look and feel way better but that ‘why bother?’ Voice is strong. I think it is no coincidence that…

I’m sure you can’t, really, but you can get an idea if they are a 4 sigma outlier from normal behavior. I think that veers into troubling territory too; is a kid on the autistic spectrum going to fail this interview? Or one with ADHD?

Former runner who spent some time on a leash. No harm done and probably saved my parents from a stroke. According to them, my preferred escape was in shopping malls and hotels. It’s kind of still true, I’m 37 and I still love exploring big buildings and will ALWAYS find a hidden spot to chill out as I find crowds…

Does this mean skinny jeans are on the way out? Thank the good lord if it were true. My poor calves, who are so strong and sturdy, are not happy in skinny jeans. And the stretchiness of them all is so fucking hot. How do people stand it?

Phone typing fail, I meant to finish: outside the rule of law. These people believe they will face God’s judgement and that they must repent (I do too). However, the absolution from God doesn’t obviate that they live in the good ol’ US of A and we punish sex offenders with prison.

I agree so much that this: ‘You hush it up everywhere outside of your church and get someone who is NOT qualified to deal with this to advise you on what to do. ‘ is a total bullshit way to live. The view that crimes, and what he has alleged to have done is a crime, can be absolved by a religious intervention is the…

Ps I now feel a little bad about dropping out of Girl Scouts but the troop in my neighborhood was soooo boring.

I loathe the way conservative groups have sewn up the family group name like focus on thE family, the family research council, and these assholes. The names position them as defining what family is and is not and how families should live. I know this isn’t a revelation, but it is so pervasive in media that we get numb…

This happened in my huge Irish Catholic family, a visitor from Iowa came visit family (the family he was visiting was unrelated to my Aunt). They fell in love and she introduced him to her family, whereupon my great-great grandma inform my aunt that he was her cousin. Then he went back to Iowa. Big families are fun…

To me, the most interesting and damaging regulation in the legislature are a series of bills that would outlaw local ordinance over a range of issues like Denton’s franking ban, and the equal rights ordinances of Houston, Austin, & San Antonio. It was Abbot’s top priority before he came into office and the cities are…

I so sorry, both about the endometriosis and that your insurance company is being dickish about treatment options.

This makes me really angry (and guilty when I fly first for work). Going through tsa security is a requirement of federal law—we would all be treated the same in that setting and NO ON.e should be able to buy their way to the head of the line.

Good to know! The guy they kidnapped was a shithead, actually, he ended up going to prison for Medicare fraud (though even the judge thought he should get off given the depth of his suffering, and how much he helped the cops to catch his kidnappers).

‘the agencies involved in the Enforcement Task Force “do not inquire about workers’ immigration status as part of their investigations”’

Was that a fun movie? I read a series of articles about the crimes that movie was based on and it was pretty horrific stuff. The man who was kidnapped suffered so terribly, I couldn’t handle the idea of watching it portrayed as a comedy (even though the crooks were buffoons who made so many bizarre choices I can see…

I think not being in the bridal party would also send a message that she is no longer on your a team. This could go a few different ways, (1) she’s mortified not to be asked and realizes she has taken you for granted, (2) she reacts like a monster and makes a fuss about how you done her wrong. If it is 2, I wouldn’t…
