But I think it’s pretty shitty to “blame the victim” in all cases when a relationship ends badly.

If only the subway wasn’t the only form of transportation...

might have caused less pain...

Perfect example, to westerners we would NEVER even consider that “seven” and “hoop circle or ring” when combined would mean small charcoal grill.

We’re all dying, but who really wants to know their expiration date?

This bootstrapy bullshit comment glosses over the whole bullying aspect, which is very real and very shitty, not to mention the added body image horrors especially if you’re female.

I swear, something about blizzards makes your average Minnesotan really want a pizza.

Protip: when it is hot outside, wear less clothing.

Also keeping in mind that in that extreme cold weather, some of the customers won’t be able to stay warm at home, especially if they live in older houses.

So basically it wasn’t Netflix that was hacked, but someone obtained the login information to your e-mail account. With that, they could reset the password on Netflix every time you changed it, and get back in, then delete the password reset e-mail.

Times change. Learn to change with them. You wanted old people to do the same when you were young too.

Being called “Sir” can be offensive to men too, depending on their culture and origin. In countries with peerage, a Sir is a vassal to the crown, while a free man shares sovereignty with the monarch.
