I'll add: the most intrinsically rewarding jobs I've had (aide in a children's library, currently slinging vegetables for a local farmer at my neighborhood farmers market) have been minimum wage or just a hair above. If I could live a decent life loading and unloading a vegetable truck and selling veggies all day,…

Throw Anton Hysen in there and I will never be able to leave my house again.

He wasn't walking in a straight line while they "assessed" him, he never should have been let back on the field. I doubt the kid knew what day it was after that hit.

A day? It can happen in an hour. Your body becomes dehydrated, overheats, and ceases to function.

I think people don't understand what "desert" really means; the same thing happened to a Spanish (I think) couple in Joshua Tree a few years ago. They wound up on an access road, their car ran out of gas, and they tried to hike out around noon, and were dead probably within a couple of hours.

I don't know man, I can kind of sympathize with her. I've had evenings like that, where I'm just like "I just want to find me a big handsome stupid man that I never have to see again! Come on, where he at?!"

Why? Why is it their responsibility if people who are wholly unconnected with them opt to put a black child's face on top of a monkey shirt? What are the boundaries of responsibility, once a product has been sold and is no longer under control of the producer?

Are you talking about Azaelia Banks? I think she's sympathizing with writers, not slamming them.

I actually had to reply to her, I was so torqued by that.

High five to that. My advice to young women is: if he's dumb enough to give you money, stuff, pay your bills, etc. because he thinks you're pretty, TAKE IT. Take the cash. Take the bling. Integrity can wait, you have the rest of your life to be true to yourself. But you only have a limited window in which to cash…

Why? Old houses have all kinds of history. I used to live in a 300-year-old house out in the country. I can't imagine the number of people who died in that house over the centuries, probably including children. It was a nice old house though.

Stole that from Reddit, did you?

My friend and I were tossed from Grendels because I wasn't eating and she wanted to get a sandwich (or whatever). She would have taken the table whether I was there or not, so its not like they were losing a table on my not also getting a sandwich.

I have always been the youngest in my class (born in December, back in the day the cutoff was Dec. 31). I did just fine. I'm not an athlete, but other than that everything worked out pretty well. I was generally near the top of my class academically, had lots of friends, went to a good college, have a pretty…

Consent certainly presumes that the pentetratee is a living animal that could theoretically consent given the opportunity. Dead bodies are outside the realm of even potential consent, they are objects, albeit with markedly different significance than say a bicycle or a pool raft (other objects lately in the news for…

Good good, he is well-thrown-together. I wish I had more to contribute than just drooling over a really (really, really) nice chest on a shirtless man, but I don't.

No, he's not. He's insulting his friend by telling him he's *bad* at sports. "Like a girl" = weak, uncoordinated, and poor form.

If they changed it to them smiling rakishly and winking (especially Van Persie) I'd be a convert for life.

That's how I feel. I'm happy NED are progressing, mostly because I think Van Persie, Sneijder, and Kuyt deserve it, but I'm irritated that the entire victory is tainted by Robben's insistence on being a dickbag at every turn. I just wish he wasn't so fucking fast or nimble, that way I could really dislike him at a…

That was a shitty way for Mexico to go out, they held NED at bay for 80+ minutes, and they deserved a better loss. Ochoa was the man of the match for sure, and should return to MEX a hero. What a goalie, the kid is a brick fucking wall!
