As a vegetarian who thinks cilantro tastes like the devil's butthole, the Bahn Mi is kind of my mortal enemy. Taco Bell can have it.

A number of people are asking for translations, so I shall do my best. My training: I grew up in a Pentecostal home and several families members to this day speak like this.


The people questing what we did in such negative ways are doing so because they are not christians. Christians are never negative and would never…

Visible bra straps a problem: don't wear bras! Problem solved right? I'm sure the school will be cool with this elegant solution. Now let's all jump for joy.

OMG this is so profoundly stupid. Up until the last 100 years or so, women were treated like property. What women found attractive didn't matter—they married whomever they were told to marry because they were property. There was no mythical past in which women had some kind of evolutionary fuck party and only the mean…

I agree that that sounds mostly class-based than anything else. I was in a sorority and fuck all that. Some sororities, i'm sure. There are all sorts of groups of terrible people everywhere, but I swear to god almost all sorority women I've ever met are great, honest to god good people who spend nearly every free…

"Is it because the "dime pieces" are literally the only ones on your radars?"

What is it about our society that has allowed these guys to go from those feelings of hurt/rejection to advocating rape?

This makes me physically sick.

THIS.

It was a wonderful example of a writer with a million good ideas, writing all the scripts by himself, with no clue how to weave the narrative into anything beyond a good setup without resorting to the worst kind of 80's cop-buddy movie cliches, and an ending that owes more than a little to "Heaven is For Real".

I can only hope the story is superior to the first season.

Unfortunately, Pat Mainardi's Politics of Housework is still mandatory reading on this topic. Maybe things will change eventually, but it's taking a long goddamn time.

I had this discussion with my husband, where we tested how close his knees could get before squishing his.... stuff. I told him to start from "splayed" and slowly bring his knees together and tell me when things get "uncomfortable." After going essentially to <90 degrees, he told me it was getting uncomfortable - when…

Excellent point. We also know public transport was designed to be the most comfortable form of transportation in the world, and that no one is ever forced to sit in an uncomfortable way on it. If someone DID have to be uncomfortable ever on public transport, it should definitely be a woman though, because men…

You're looking for logic in religion. Stop before you hurt yourself.

The whole "self-supporting" schtick is their most noxious lie, IMO.

Thoughts re: this family

I'm a gun owner and I do open carry sometimes (when hiking in certain back country areas) and I don't even get the whole "open carry whenever, wherever" thing. I'd rather not be wondering if the jackass at the next table is going to get drunk and pull his gun on someone.

Ha! I had a dude once suggest that I lose 20 pounds. I said, "Guess what, I am losing 180 in the next five minutes." I then told him to fuck right off.
