So Texas is doing this as well? No? Weird..

I guess more what I mean is that the US is a huge place, and even if a single person smokes more cigarettes than another person in Europe, Europe is a much smaller landmass 

I was in North America once and everyone older than 2 was obese.

Something for all commenters to consider: this is 2040, we’re talking about. That’s nearly 23 years away. For perspective, this came out 23 years ago (1994):

If the point is to have pockets, why not wear shorts/pants with pockets?

No, it’s not impossible to be falsely accused, but society has a really troubling attachment to the false accusation narrative. Look up any article about a rape or a rape accusation and find the flood of comments by people who clearly didn’t read it but are declaring the victim a lying whore. Actual proven rape…

Actually, I don’t get food cravings when working out on an empty stomach. I get nauseous.

For me it’s sleeping in leggings. I can’t think of anything more uncomfortable.

I’m so physically weary and mentally groggy in the early AM that I could legit hurt myself trying to do high intensity cardio or weight training via lack of coordination. And seeing as I manage to work out in the evenings more often than not, I see no purpose in forcing myself to do something I neither want nor need…

I agree, this imbalance needs to stop. We need cars designed and built in America, like the Ford Focus, Buick Cascada or the Chevrolet SS.

And this is a perfect opportunity to share this: If you are a single person that works 6-10 hours a day, do not get a dog. If you are family that is too busy to properly train your dog and pay attention to it, do not get a dog. If you are a insecure, pushover or just seeking companionship because you’re lonely, do not…

How to introduce your dog to everyone

I always suggest calling first.

I worry about the outing that goes on. What if it’s the wrong Tami? And these things devolve so quickly to rape threats and death threats. It’s awful what Tami did but it doesn’t help if we’re awful. (We meaning in general, not you and me.)

He doesn’t deserve capitals. When he acts like a big boy, he’ll get big boy letters.

Other outlets are reporting the woman’s full name is Tami Barker, and that she is an ESL instructor at a local community college. Someone’s in the wrong line of work.

Tigers are like, almost twice the size of lions, dude.
