So the family should sit around the Christmas tree in silence because this grammar-challenged brat can't be arsed to be polite? Really?! Huh.

Maybe it's because your answers were smug, unpleasant, and unfunny. I don't think your family members are the ones who need to "get over [them]selves."
I agree. This seemed bratty to me rather than brilliant. It's not that horrible to make polite conversation with people you see maybe once a year. So what if great-aunt Josephine and third cousin Paul ask the same questions, just answer and move on, don't act like you're too good for a simple question.
Teen snark is not as funny as teen thinks it is. People ask these questions because they want to interact with you, and this is an easy, safe way to do it. Your time would be better spent learning how to make polite conversation. I joked about doing the same thing when I was a teen/young adult, but I didn't, because I…
Does no one else think this kid sounds like a jerk? Like, ok, the repetitive questions get annoying, but this is ridiculous (as well as poorly written). "No- I do not remember you."
So.....I guess having polite small talk with the Grandma that probably brought you a nice Best Buy or Macy's gift card (even though you never call or write) isn't a fair exchange for said gift?
I KNOW RIGHT
Don't think I didn't see you edit and re-edit this post to deal with your hilarious typos, good buddy!
That is a good start but what I would love is for her to shadow me when I'm answering hospital calls for people who are suspected to have been sexually assaulted. Listen as I discuss with them their options. Should they do a kit? Should they report the kit anonymously? What about preventative meds? Plan B? Sit with me…
I think that any movement requires a good deal of self-reflection.
I do not think "the problem is white women" is necessarily the most constructive way to preface that self-reflection. Just my opinion.
Some people cannot accept parcels at work. I used to be one of those unlucky people. Since I work at home and know my postal carrier and UPS drivers schedules, it's thankfully not a problem for me. But I am reluctant to accept packages for others because a college acquaintance accepted a FedEx delivery for a…
I wonder when Amazon will start including small GPS trackers in all of their shipments (charge like $2.50 or something if the recipient doesn't mail it back).
I call him Ben Rapelisberger, personally.
ACTUALLY those questions are very much about coercion and using drugs/alcohol to manipulate/incapacitate your victim. Those are exactly the kinds of questions they should be asking. Furthermore, they were looking for attempted sexual assaults so those questions most definitely fall within the purview of the study.…
Those in the Greek system at UVa (even those not involved in this story) will forever be associated with this story and sexual assault in general. That's a major stigma for a lot of innocent people to be stuck with because a reporter failed to use multiple sources.
What's been really troubling to me about this story, and what I would dearly love to see become more a part of the conversation when it comes to rape, is how subjective "truth" can be. I've told this story a couple times here, but when I was 16, I was raped by a much older man from my karate class - a true predator…
As a former fraternity member (I feel like half of my Gawker comments these days start with that clause), I'm pretty confident in saying UVA's fraternities and sororities need to shut the fuck up, regardless of what happens with this story — which at the very least shows some of the warts of the system even if the…
Yea really. THIS JUST IN "Guy Accused of Rape Claims Not to Know Victim" news at fucking 11.
