I don’t think his kids were starving to death in Canada. He’s free to go back instead of being a whiny bitch.

Not entirely the same thing, but I’ll never really forget when I was 9 or 10, and I was taken to a relative’s house for a party, and some middle aged loser was there who loudly made fun of my weight at the time directly to my father (like literally, “Wow, she doesn’t miss any meals” type statements) while laughing,…

We’re not allowed to wear jeans except on special days (or when they’re fundraising for something, so we have to pay to wear them). We’re not allowed to wear tennis shoes either, though so far I have been able to get away with solid black ones. I wouldn’t be able to make it through a whole week on my feet without…

Manderlys are coming. Besides known casting notices, they were mentioned for a reason. Mormonts are coming too.

Americans must have bad standards if Pittsburgh is a standout for “good” drivers. /Canadian who has lived in Pittsburgh since 2009. Holy shit, no one knows the right of way, signal usage is rare, people don’t obey yield signs, no one knows how to zipper merge, they’re scared of tunnels, etc.

““I put my sword through Ramsay Bolton’s face this season.””

Which one of those minorities is James Holmes, whose insanity defense failed despite obvious mental health issues?

No, I was talking about past instances of anti-semitism against Jewish people by her, which were handwaved away in the comments of earlier Jez posts about her. In old posts about her, she had extremist defenders flooding these comment chains, defending her racism and homophobia.

Here she is, racist as fuck again (and no, I’m not talking about the Iggy Azalea shit, but her anti-semitism, and then there’s her homophobia too). Wonder how many of her defenders are going to show up this time. She’s the worst.

It was though, but humor is subjective. This article is objectively bad.

I don’t even think it’s lost in translation. It’s pretty clear that’s what it is, like people who say “I’d do that for free” about “fun jobs.” Like something you’d say to these people: http://www.benjerry.com/flavors/flavor…

Can always expect someone from the Putin defense league to show up with the quickness. You guys are just so darn efficient.

If I believed in a god, I’d say he’s at least in charge of the non-stop earthquakes there, but nope, those are man made too. Hopefully they sink the state into the earth.

Since people don’t like to pay taxes, it never really seems to work out like that. There are varying solutions to the issue, depending on the state and what the state law allows. Some staff substitutes full time until they can find someone, and in some states substitutes aren’t licensed teachers (or they are teachers…

Yep, I sure have a blasé attitude about it, idiot. Until you spend significant amounts of unpaid time DAILY writing referrals for administrative discipline which means nothing to these kids (they don’t care about suspensions, they don’t have recess or other privileges to take away, and parents don’t approve ASD’s) and…

Eastern suburbs of Pittsburgh. The significantly less affluent ones.

Most of my students are extremely homophobic, and gay slurs fly pretty freely (not just gay slurs, but comments specifically about how being gay is wrong and against god blah blah), with no support at home in terms of consequences when I call home about it. It’s one thing that makes me shake my head when some people…

I have never seen people pray at my work, even in the private areas of the workplace, and at least half of my co-workers go to church on Sunday, which is higher than the American average. Just as people at my work don’t openly talk politics either, even though they have the “right” to have political beliefs (and…

I didn’t say you needed the 5th year for the diploma, I said you needed it if you were going to university. That’s in my very first line. And that the fifth year was necessary to get in the necessary amount of OAC credits, as you quoted. I know how it worked. I did it, and I still needed the 5th year even though I…

No, it’s not an unnamed gap. The millennial generation, called generation Y when I was a kid, began in 1982/1983 according to the people who come up with these things. So it is named. The issue that is that there are clear cultural differences between the oldest millennials (like me, aged 32, who is in full “get off…
