It’s almost as if someone or some document urges them to adopt a morality of a bronze-age, tribal society.

At all? That’s putting it a little strongly. But, in the main, no: Once you have people financially depending on you, you cannot, in fact, chase your dreams. That’s being irresponsible. Immature, even. Add in a mildly disabling medical condition and then you really can’t play games like this. Them’s the breaks.

The part that cracks me up is that they didn’t want the person drinking “in public.” They’re fine with something they consider immoral, as long as no one knows about it. This one thing told me everything you need to know about that “church”.

I’m with you. I don’t agree with the rules that were in the contract, but he signed the contract. I am constantly confused by people who willingly work at/with conservative Christian institutions and then are all surprised by them being conservative and Christian. This story is basically “we were told the rules. We…

I guess I am prying here, but..... so your husband. You have two kids and you have a successful career, but he just recently figured out what to do with his life? Like, ah, your husband sounds horrible. I am sorry he has medical problems but it doesn't seem like he was a very good person already, especially taking…

I hear ya. I’m at the age that if I’m vertical at 3 AM on any given night, something must have gone horribly wrong in the hours leading up to it.

In related news, I’m fucking Ron Popeil.

Their friend is from Canada, you wouldn’t know him.

a) You probably don’t ride. Believe me, there are plenty of places that are unsafe for a car to pass where it’s no problem for a bike (either due to the bike being able to do the pass or simply because of things like better sightlines due to lane positioning etc). So it comes down to The Law vs. common sense, being…

Looks to me like a case of asshole (swerving into them) on asshole (speeding recklessly, passing in a no passing zone, no safety clothing) crime.

I know, it doesn’t make sense. And it was in a refinery so I was wearing protective clothing all the time and also used to being around all kinds of whatnot, but nothing as gross as that chair. I guess I’m more protective of my butt’s feelings, there was no miasma coming off the floor. ugh.

Funny, I often feel this way when watching television and movies. It’s like people who write for the screen have fantasized up all these perfect back and forth conversations.....then they shoehorn them into absolutely retarded situations because they have no freaking clue how anything at all works in the real world…

Can’t see anything about this film without “YOU ARE TEARING ME APART, LISA!” reverberating in my brain.

I had a user who looked like a soggy boiled turnip with a few carrot shavings on top and whose chair cushion emitted an almost visible haze of moisture and funk. The only times I couldn’t pawn him off on someone else, I had to ask him as kindly as possible to please move so I could wheel his chair out of the cubicle…

Not gonna lie, I totally would have blamed this on the Langoliers.

Forget about her, Mario.

After seeing MGS5, tho, I am starting to wonder if maybe Konami isn’t the bad guy of the situation.

I’m old and out of the dating scene, but what can we do to teach people to speak up? It seems like things would be much easier for all involved if people, whether in a one night stand or in a relationship, just spoke up and said “I don’t want to do that.” Why is this hard? Admittedly, I was always one of those people…

You’re to keep what is known as a consent log, ideally. You first ask for consent verbally, then you write it out in the log. It’s best if you video the agreement before performing any act that could be considered, in any way, sexual. That includes kissing, touching most all parts of the body below and above the…

That confuses me too. I cant imagine i the heat of the moment being like “can i finger you?” Or “im done fingering you, would you like to have sex now?” But i do try to verbalize my intention by asking things like “do you want me to wear a condom?” But asking for consent for foreplay seems odd, it happens in small…
