This ranting answer is as mature as your original complaint. You need to get over yourself and the supposed importance of your opinion to corporate America. Also do yourself, and those around you, a favor and cut down on the caffeine will, probably help you cut down on your mindless rantings.

Wow you're a special kind of clueless.

Right, someone named "Dick Jokes" who gets butthurt when the south is called racist is someone I should listen to when he/she throws out ad hominems that are less wanting.

It's fun to talk! Conversations are harder.

Learn to read graphs.

Cool story.

Adding, about my father: I think he also always wanted to double-check himself. Later, as an adult dining with him, I found that he had a real horror at the spectre of perhaps accidentally undertipping. He always added more to what his tip calculator told him.

You're being really harsh on a girl who by all accounts did nothing wrong. You're much harder on her than on him, such a common thread to cheating stories. The girl (who was lied to!) is the jerk, boys be boyz. How do you know she is patient zero on the HPV chain? Why were you with someone you always suspected of…

It's an important historical thing, and makes a fantastic allegory, but it always seemed like OMG WITCHES was the driving factor in it becoming a Thing.

I have grave, grave doubts about yet another telling of the Salem story, which I have seen and heard too many times to count in my lifetime, in various formats (grew up in Massachusetts, in addition to it apparently being an endless source of general fascination).

I think there are probably a lot of people out there, some of them readers of this blog, who are either imperfect jerk parents or imperfect jerk children or imperfect jerk children of imperfect jerk parents. I'm glad it's newsworthy to be able to gloat over those various combinations now whether causally related or…

All of these gay white dudes keep saying they have a sassy black women inside of them need to let it out so they can stop misusing the words black women created. Imagine how better some of the Gawker articles would be.

hey I love her in Whit Stillman films

I think this is what is going on. It seems to be about rank and prestige and name recognition. I am not going to lament this because I chose my the graduate institution I went to based partially on this myself. This is the world we live in now it seems. One must jump through each and every hoop in the precise order…

Culture Industry. These forces cannot be stopped, the best we can do is alter them.

In Germany we have sex-ed from 5th grade on including relationships, boundaries and respect.

Particularly combined with the line "health insurgence", which makes me feel like it's revolutionary countercultural healthcare, and thus probably very hemp-centric :)

ETA: No judgment on typos, my typing is a train wreck. They just coalesced awesomely here.

I had this dream where a guy cheated on his ailing wife until she found out and then he manipulated her into an "open" ralationship by using her physical weakness and emotional dependency on him. Most of the jezebel commenters were either on the fence or sympathetic towards this guy, because hey, it's an open…

No judgement on the husband for going to a sex worker? Ok then.
