I'm with ya. The last time I had to give a "best man" speech at a giant wedding, I needed a bottle of champagne BEFORE and AFTER the speech to get through the nerves. For some reason, it's even weirder giving a public speech when you know almost everyone in the room. I've lectured in front of hundreds of students and…

???? Nicodemus? Oh lord. He's going to have some fun in junior high with that name.. I hope to god they have his teachers introduce him as Nick (rhymes with dick, then people get over it).

YES! Also: short ceremony! Save the poems and loving speeches and 10 minute vows for when everyone has a drink in their hands.

Well...not to mention that marriage itself is a hegemonic tool of heteronormativity since the gays can't do it in every state yet.

This. My brother's wedding was supposed to be small until the in-laws took over. Whoosh!!!! Weddings are very rarely about the people getting married and more about what you can fight to keep your relatives from controlling/destroying. "you simply MUST have these local roses at 500$ a pop there. Just like grandma's…

Yeah. Especially if you budget well. My friend paid for his own wedding and it was huge and very nice but they probably didn't spend much more than 5-6 thousand on it. 30k? That's just showing off because you can.

Word. I have no issue with a cougar bagging younger prey.

This. Women are more emotionally mature than men but I just turned thirty. I met a nice girl at a bar last week and the conversation was great until I realized that she was on a 21-run with her friends. She seemed like a nice, smart, person who recently graduated from a good college but..........

Well...for sure. If you have experience and you work at a high end place where customers are regularly ordering 1000$ bottles of wine and 80$ steaks? Sure.

It's related. Obama is black and president so therefore he is the fucking ideal palimpset to cry and complain about the existing state of affairs which conservatives have largely built (plutocracy) and democrats critically supported.

Actually, I didn't have too many bad things to say about Bill Clinton.

Uh....drone wars, inviting Big Finance closer to the White House, killing public education, bending to Republicans on climate change, failing to improve Iraq and Afghanistan, fighting to torture and kill American citizens without trial, torturing the world's citizens abroad in violation of the Geneva Conventions,…

Oh fuck no. I've already seen the disaster of her failed school lunch policies.

the bane of all existence for the cleanly cat-owner. I'm guessing not too well even if you own a short hair and clean twice a week.

"when were you "too high""

I would LOVE to be high in there (not too high). I'd just kinda trip off and start imagining that I'm in Mario Cart 64 land before going to bed.

Law student here.

because most guys just want to stuff their P in the V as quickly as possible?

I think it's more "empowerment" that if you do or don't want to have a lot of sex, you and society shouldn't be forced to feel a certain way about it. If a women is having tons and tons of consensual sex safely with multiple partners, she should not be labeled a slut or a whore by the prudes in all genders. So, in…

and some are having more! I knew guys and girls who slept with over 100 people their freshman year alone. It's just 10-12 people a month for 10 months. Pretty easy at a large university when you're binge-drinking on a near-nightly basis and you can discreetly hookup via facebook, tinder, and instagram.
