The pipeline is 90+% complete. Even if DAPL goes bankrupt, another company will snach up the pipeline at fire sale prices and finish it.

I should have said hippie millenials maybe? Or maybe just troublemakers? Eco-terrorist is the term I hear used when referring to those who use violence to further their environmental cause...perhaps that is the wrong term and if so my apologies...

My office holiday party is on a Friday at 11:30am. A fucking lunch party on site. So, no booze, shitty food, and we have to go back to work after.

My office’s holiday party is always rather lame and I feel the same way that you do, I’d rather keep my interaction with coworkers to 9-5. That being said, we always go to my husband’s office party. He works at microsoft and I swear the budget for the office Christmas party is probably $100K. They rent out all of…

If the lede image is an actual picture of damage from the protesters then you might want to revise that “peaceful” part.

Not all the protesters are peaceful. The chairman of the standing rock tribe has said so himself.

The lives and well being of these protestors is at risk if they stay, whether from the weather or from law enforcement. Maybe I’m just in a general “throwing-up-my-hands” space, but I think they should fold up their tent poles and leave—before things get really bad.

seems like almost every time i use prime to get something (anything really) by a specific date, it ends up being delayed. but something i impulse bought that i could less, arrives a day early.

We’re savin’ souls here, Steph!

The tinfoil.

Correct. My in-laws will was a Microsoft Word document typed with the help of a notary in 15 minutes. Very basic one page deal: he gets everything if she dies, she gets everything if he dies, the kids get everything when they both die.

It’s TOTALLY fucked up. And tickling is abuse. You are not wrong.

Ugh yes on tickling. People think that because you laugh you like it, when that is often an involuntary reaction. One of the reasons I am so happy in my relationship with my spouse is because he never tickles me without permission. And it turns out I really, really hate being tickled. Maybe because it was one more way…

My understanding was that sex is physically possible only after marriage, and then only with one’s spouse. Has abstinence-only sex education failed me?

Its bones are still mostly there, but yeah... anything that could rot looks like it suffered a great deal more. Still, there’s enough left to go on that, combined with some historical photographs (surely there are some), a reasonably faithful restoration could be done. It would be lovely, if someone would faithfully…

Take them out for lunch some day while you have a trustworthy and capable friend burn down their house.

I have told my parents very bluntly DO NOT TRY TO LEAVE ME THIS HOUSE. I DO NOT WANT IT.

Uggggh.

Long ago I heard an interview with Matt Paxton (some time cleaner on Hoarders), he said his crew found a dead body in a hoarder home but the network didn’t let it air.

All the sympathy.
