I don't really know if I'd call it backfiring. I think Putin probably weighed the consequence of what he was doing, and decided his international dick measuring contest* was more important than feeding his own people.

*As someone who spends lots of time diving into frozen lakes to catch ice dragons (or whatever the…

Is it something I have to do outside? Eek!

I'm pretty jealous. I spend lots of money on all sorts of entertainment devices and still get bored relatively quickly. Meanwhile, there's this intelligent being that can find more joy than I ever could in something as simple as a twirling a ribbon around. You keep on doing you, Faa Mai.

I can't help but wonder if their IRL neighbors are feeling flattered/terrified right now.

I had to mute it and play Rupert Holmes- Escape in the background instead. Now I want to be that dog as well.

Where is the 3rd and most probable theory: Jessica is the Antichrist.

I bet they didn't even have the common decency to issue some sort of disingenuous, backhanded apology when they asked him. Like "Oh we are so very sorry that we were unable to contain our disappointment at our sons failure in the eyes of GOD"

I couldn't even watch this video when it was first posted, but I'm glad to…

Even if this is true, I'd argue that the context is different. I've been called some pretty awful things in 13 years of online gaming and uh message boarding(?), but it has almost always been about something I did, rather than something I am.

And dmzilla34, if you're out there reading this, camping is a legitimate…

HEY! MAGNETO WOULD NEVER FLASH STRANGERS ON A SUBWAY! TAKE THAT BACK!

I'm of the opinion that Slave 4 U is actually sex in musical form.

I spent a lot of time jamming to Britney secretly in the shower* over the past decade, so I also hope she gets through all this nonsense. All the ups, all the downs, all the wtfs... I just want there to be a rainbow at the end of this road.

*I spent about 3 minutes trying to decide if that sounded like I was talking…

It's all done with this... I dunno... overt covertness? Like, you'll sit through a class on sexual harassment and what not to do and how to report it etc... and then 10 minutes later that same dude will be making all sorts of slimy comments in private. It's like as long as you officially denounce it, you can do…

The problem is, people can't really be "fired" in the military. Even people who do tremendously stupid things usually end up sitting around wasting space for 8 months while HQ Marine Corps figures out what to do with them.

The job security in the military is one of it's worst aspects. People know that they are…

Even Jesus had to get his shit together.

I'm really sorry that happened to your friend. Reporting things about higher ups is really awful in the military (even without sexual harassment bullshit thrown into the mix), though there are a few options. Requesting Mast is one way to get people's attention, as you can have it sent up as high as you need it to go.…

iirc, it's part of a long list of civilian clothing items deemed "unprofessional."

Having finished 5 years in the Marine Corps last year, this guy is right. There's a lot of disgusting shit said and done to women in uniform, it really can leave you disappointed with an organization you've signed a huge chunk of your life away to.

It's funny (not really), because at one of my units, right when Obama…

She's never going to get a date to the Pre-K Prom with a haircut like that!

Long hair is a breeding ground for lice and LIBERALISM!

I'm confused as to why there's even a rule against long hair. Is it a fear of dirty hippies, of "feminine" traits on a boy, or blah blah something something safety?

Load of shit any way you slice it.
