Which is why you always file a report. That fast-tracks the process to have the arrest record expunged (an arrest is not a conviction but can still show up on a background check) and have impound fees reversed, etc. No matter what, say nothing and get an attorney. You’d be surprised how many false arrests result in…

Let me pull your bootlicking ass out of the greys for a tick...

Only plant mint, catnip and oregano in containers unless you want a garden, yard and neighborhood consisting solely of mint, catnip and oregano. They will take over your life.

Just as the correct response when arrested is silence other than asking for an attorney, the correct answer is always “no”. If you call an attorney right then, they will say to decline the request. If they have probable cause or reasonable suspicion, they don’t need your permission anyway. If they have a warrant, they…

Don’t plant mint unless it’s in a container! It’s very invasive and you’ll spend a lot of time trying to keep it from choking out everything else. 

Slide 8 should say: Supporting your kids in school and speaking respectfully to them when things go wrong.

Good god, look at those things!

Lemongrass. Buy a few at the supermarket (with the bottom part of the stem still holding it all together) and put them in water for a few months to get them to root. Plant in the garden (or in a pot if it gets cold where you are so you can bring it inside) and in less than a year you’ll have a whole patch of…

Cilantro is an annual.

Yup. Visually speaking - Cleopatra is the greatest movie ever made. It was/is worth watching just for that. (Much like Avatar on the 3D big screen.)

We already count the “unborn” by tracking live births per year. That’s why we know we don’t have a enough people to feed capitalisms gaping maw which is easily 1/3rd of the reason people want forced birth.

This is 10,000% a talking point handed to him from more senior republicans to deflect the bad press he’s been getting lately. This dweeb did NOT think of something that clever or do-able.

How to fight a goose and win: Don’t fight a goose.

You feel that this is an appropriate response to a mother defending her offspring? This attempt at humor is actually rather disturbing. And even more disturbing if it’s even partly serious.

117 injuries over 25 years vs 1000 DAILY injuries from dog attacks. Get some percpective people.

Geese are awesome, and as long as you don’t do something stupid, like charging their goslings like a mad man, they are highly unlikely to mess with you.

To be fair, the only thing dumber than MBTI is astrology. OK, maybe not the only thing, but one of the few. Less dumb than MBTI is a pretty low bar to clear.

...it’s not like I was raised in a mild climate—I grew up in the Mid-Atlantic, where evening summer temperatures routinely eclipsed 75 degrees.

So I have two thoughts, and one of them is already a comment: put the toilet seat down before flushing. My bidet add-on comes with a soft close lid, so I feel lazy and special and love the fact that it never slams. Worth it 100%.

I wish that were the case, and that people who did the dead-end work got recognized for it. But the research does not bear this out, as the article above says. You may think your organization does better or that you personally do better at recognizing this stuff, but broadly speaking this is not what’s happening. I…
