And that cop stopped halfway through writing a ticket on a traffic stop to chase a child for stealing said toothbrush.

Exactly. Teaching children bodily autonomy is the first step. The next is making it clear to these bumbling grown-ass-adult bystanders that they have ONE course of action—cease the person’s access to the child/children and immediately notify police. I can’t fathom how this isn’t the first step taken by these…

Opossums are natures answer to the pesky problem of people taking their trash out at night without having the shit scared out of them.

It’s a good example of dogwhistle racism.

PREACH.

I saw that, whoever originally posted the word Sister as Syster in the headline.

“Are you new here?” is my all-time favorite clapback to dumb comments on the internet. It’s just so goddamned delightful.

I saw this dweeb walking in Manhattan yesterday with a woman I assume is his mom and I texted my friend “I just saw the boy from the sick kid movie and I think Divergent?” and sent a screen shot of his IMDB page and she goes “No clue” and that is forever the most exciting Ansel Elgort story.

The images of the text conversations he had seem to be taken from a computer screen, so he obviously has a Macbook and this person just opened it and had access to messenger and all of his “remember my password for future logins” social media accounts, right? Was it that easy? Can you log into someone’s Apple…

I bartend in New York City and can confirm that this does seem to be a European, specifically British, thing. Possibly Australian, too.

Can someone with a legal background please explain to me exactly what she did wrong here? I don’t understand how being charged solely with resisting/obstructing arrest is even a thing, when the REASON he was trying to arrest her in the first place is dumb and probably not even illegal? Will a judge likely throw this…

She’s EARNING all 250 of those dollars per match.

Ever heard of a pilonidal cyst? I had just graduated high school and was preparing to enjoy a summer working at the local pool and being a lazy fuck at my parents’ house before college. Yeah, fuck no. It started with a gnarly fever that culminated in my temperature spiking so high that I blacked out in the kitchen and…

So the guy who brake-checked and proceeded to keep driving after the guy behind him spun out—is that illegal? I honestly don’t know what to do in that scenario*, not as a brake-checker but as a person who sees a car spin out behind you. Obviously the Decent Human Being Rule means you pull over and call 911, make sure…

Goddammit, fresh pasta is so good. If you live in NYC and don’t have the time/patience to make it yourself, go to Lilia in Williamsburg and get yourself the malfadini.

There aren’t many intelligent people applying for these jobs in the first place.

This.

There’s a dachshund/chihuahua mix—Stella. I think the tenacity/spunkiness combo is key.

Not pulling people over in shitty weather is definitely a thing for cops. My dad was a cop for twenty years, and especially in the later years, his tolerance for speeding went up quite a bit in rain and snow.

Sadly, at any given time, the people in the room with him are not his friends. You and I have friends. Johnny Manziel has “friends”.
