I had what could loosely be described as a pixie cut once in my life, and that was the time I was done with my dyed black hair, thought long and hard about what it would take to remove the black dye and decided to just (literally!) cut my losses and hacked it all off myself, where the roots were growing out. I was 22

You could be right. Her goal could be to push an agenda. An agenda that is served by demonstrating that under the current laws there are relatively few obstacles to acquire an AR15. Scummy or not, the point is still ‘Look how fucking easy this is!’ and probably also ‘We should change that’

I think the point is that if that’s all the law requires then it needs to be changed to require something more.

I have. I’ve gone clay shooting once (so shotgun) and my brother took me and my husband to the gun range when we visited him recently and we shot a 45 caliber semi-automatic pistol and an AR15.

I tried listening to that episode of This American Life while I was out for a run one time and I finally had to give up on running during the Tig segment because I kept chuckling. Nothing like actually LOL-ing in public to something you’re listening to with earbuds...

Yeah, but if she can get out of her contract with Sony (I think there’s litigation pending so it’s not 100% up to them) I bet some other record label might be willing to take her on. I mean, she’s a known name and there’d be the added bonus of her new label being able to present themselves as offering her the fair

You’re probably right. I know how hiring works. That’s why my actual resume says something buzz-wordy and cheerleadery instead of something that actually reflects who I am, which is a non-perky introvert who wants to make a decent living and is more than willing to do the necessary work, and do it well, even if she is

If I ever have to update my resume I’m seriously considering changing the objective to: “A job where I can make at least $40k, have health insurance for me and my husband and wear jeans and a t-shirt and boots every day. I almost don’t care what the actual work is.”

You can nominate a friend if you so choose, you just have to execute powers of attorney and such doing so. It’s an extra step and depending on where you live it can be pricey, but the option is there and you don’t have to be romantically involved with your power of attorney or the executor of your will for it to be

I don’t judge Tom Brady for saying something dumb about the presidential race. He’s good at football, not politics... his opinion doesn’t really matter... blah, blah, blah...

Thank you. Basic legal procedure, people.

You are 100% right about trying things on. My mom lives in London and when I visit we always go to the Primark on Oxford Street, but I’ve never even tried to get a changing room because the lines have always been insane. If I can’t try it on over my clothes, on the sales floor, I’m not buying it.

I dunno. I’ve been to bachelorette parties. I would one thousand percent rather spend a day at the shooting range, rocking some medieval garb and Game of Thrones hair than have to watch strippers and consume my beverages through a penis straw.
