I like that! “This is the captain speaking. We’ll be descending to below 10,000 feet for a short time to toss a grabber from the cabin. We’ll resume to cruising altitude shortly thereafter.”

getting kicked off the flight after you’ve landed at your destination really doesnt have the same impact as doing it midflight would..

Wow, I’m really impressed with Instagram for taking a stance against these photos. Of course, it’s always hard to know all the context surrounding an image, but I think this is a great step in terms of educating people who have no idea that there is an issue.

Also, even people with self-defense training can freeze up when the moment finally arrives that they need to protect themselves. Being able to perform defensive maneuvers in class (ie a controlled environment where you know you’re safe) is not the same as being able to perform them when you’re terrified. Which isn’t…

Unless a guy actually physically attacks you, you can’t touch him. Even if he puts up his fists like he’s gonna hit you, you can’t touch him. Yeah if someone does try to hurt you and you know what your doing it’s helpful. But then not being raped will come down how well you trained and how well trained he is. Does a…

There is always going to be a woman is not going to be as safe as another woman. Even if every woman home before dark. It might come down to the woman that doesn’t have security systems is raped. Is it her fault that she doesn’t have a security system that she got raped? No. It would be the fault of the man that raped…

And three: you must let the pie cool at room temperature, UNCOVERED, for at least two hours before putting it in the fridge or serving it. Otherwise it will sog up into despair.

Yeah, the description of pumpkin pie as having a “vegetal smell” and “dry and uninspired crust” leads me to believe Megan has simply never had a properly made pumpkin pie, because those things are definitely not true of good pumpkin pie. Maybe she’d still hate a pumpkin pie baked from scratch with real pumpkin and a…

I think there are a lot of people who have never had good pumpkin pie — the most common versions are over-sweetened and severely under-spiced — but there are also people who would never like it no matter how good it is. When it comes to texture, both pumpkin and custard are polarizing, so it’s not really surprising…

If you hate pumpkin pie you may never have had a truly good punpkin pie.

My favorite tactic is to say, “What do you mean?” (It works great for racist comments/jokes, too.) Keep making them explain it until they falter from embarrassment or finally realize how stupid they sound. “I don’t understand. Why would you say that?”

You’re saying the average 400 lbs couch cowboy who’s maybe shot a few beercans at best can’t flip a switch in a life-threatening chaotic situation in a crowded room full of panicking, frantic people and become the John Rambo they’d need him to be to make a difference?

Problem solved.

I was in boxing for most of elementary through high school. I was told frequently that boys don’t like athletic girls, let alone girls that could beat them up.

Ok, here goes. Writing this out makes me want to barf. 

Around five years ago, I was a TA for an undergraduate literature course that had 300 students; there were two TAs and our job was mostly to do grading (sigh) and hand out exams and set up PowerPoints and stuff of that nature. Basically, assist the professor in all manner of tedium while she lectured. Due to a…

I am a wedding cake baker, and your artistic expression argument is bullshit. A wedding cake for a gay couple looks the same as one for a straight couple. I don’t know the orientation of most of the people I make cakes for. My job is to make beautiful cakes. Done.

You can refuse to serve individuals, not the public, which means whole classes of people.

Yessssss. This. Frankly I like to know which business owners are hateful assholes so I don’t spend money there, even though they’d accept mine. But from a business perspective? Goddamnit. You dummies. It’s wrong and you shouldn’t do it, but if you really don’t want to make a cake for that couple, say you’re booked on…

Ever see the roast where Obama laid into Trump? That’s when Trump decided to run for President. You could see the hatred and desire for blood revenge on Trump’s face. He’s not the kind to let little things slide, much less a public embarrassing verbal thrashing.
