It’s a big-ass country with a lot of stuff in it. It’s a pretty amazing place. We tend to be a bunch of big, loveable oafs. We’re curious and friendly and loud and silly.

Oh come ON. Everyone knows there aren’t pink robots, thus it is IMPOSSIBLE for girls to participate.

Same way Obama is a Kenyan Muslim Socialist Terrorist.

I found the same in the wine industry. Some of the best winemakers are really picky pains in the ass, but that exactitude shows in their wines.

It’s kind of sad that the people who were around before vaccination are dying off, because their stories - like my mom’s about her baby cousin having whooping cough and breaking his ribs coughing - are horrifying enough to bring home the point.

NO MORE KARDASHIANS

People need to take some speaker training. You can do it for less than $100 per year through Toastmasters.org Through training, filler words are reduced or eliminated. You can’t expect the audience to filter how they hear because you’re too lazy to learn to speak properly.

Also? Don’t think about elephants. Just don’t.

It’s pretty fucking sick and a sign of how low our expectations are that we’re impressed by $16-$28 per hour. It’s a Manhattan restaurant where everything has to be PERFECT and people are making pretty much poverty wages and we’re all OOH WOW $16 to $28.

Sadly aged Opie.

Yeah, that pretty much made me quit shopping there. Bye!

Put on a long-sleeved shirt. An ironed one. And a tie. And a jacket. And then you may address me.

Airfares are actually pretty low. I can fly to Chicago for the same amount or less than I did 30 years ago. In what other realm of life is that price stability even possible?

Thanks. I don’t think atheists are awful - quite the contrary. I think it is kind of hilarious that matters of faith, which are by definition unanswerable, are the things people are most vehement about. I’m willing to consider that there may be no God. How the heck can I know?

As someone who has strong feelings about guacamole (including people who call it “guac”)

Everyone knows that peas belong in rice, not guacamole. Well, not peas. “Pea.” One wrinkly one, along with a little cube of carrot. WE HAD OUR TWO SERVINGS OF VEGETABLES, OK?

Good idea!

That’s just the internet, not specific to this site.

There’s a reason I go to the church I do. If you want to find a church, you can find one that accepts you as you are.
