yay for econ jokes!

Beerio kart. Ugh thats dumb.

haha it seemed so obvious to us when we made it, but no one else was doing it! a lot of people i know would just chug a beer at the beginning of the race, and then when you were done youd start racing, but that isn’t nearly as creative.... also, that takes away a lot of strategy

The key is, I think it’s fair to ASK. “Hey baby so I can’t have beer right now, but you know how much I LOVE beer. Just seeing one is gonna make me wanna play some flipcup... Do you mind if we dont have any beer in the house while I’m pregnant?” That to me sounds like a reasonable sentence. (Or, several sentences)

Yeah I misremembered. It was actually closer to $400

Yup. And obviously anyone who crossed the finish line without finishing their beer was immediately disqualified.

I think that’s a fair thing to ask. If I were in a situation like that where I knew I wouldn’t be able to consume something that I love for a short amount of time, I definitely would appreciate it if my significant other could do that with me. Also, if he thought that was an unreasonable ask, I think talking about it…

Yesss that IS the holy trinity right there. See that sounds like my type of bachelor party! My friends (in fact this very same group of idiot-friends haha) came up with a Mario Kart 64 game called “Don’t Drink and Drive”. All four players would have a can of beer, and before you finished the race you also had to…

So I misremembered- it was about $400, give or take LOL
Still nothing to sneeze at, but for a once-in-my-literal-best-friend’s-life event, I’d say worth it!

Yeah I misremembered... I went over the Venmos associated with it, it was closer to $400 LOL: about $110 each for cigars-lunch and steak dinner, wine included at both, $50 overall at karaoke place, $70 for go-kart (including uber to and from go-kart place in hoboken), $30 for “specialty” drinks we made during jurassic…

I was recently a groomsman in a wedding, the guy who was getting married and I, as well as a couple of the other groomsmen, have known each other since the 1st day of 7th grade (September of 2000. JESUS), so we’re all really close. We’ve literally been best friends for almost two decades.

Partying with friends and making out with people- how terrible!

Ohhhh I've played wine pong before hahaha *shudder*

I actually read something very interesting about tipping recently. Just based on the economics of it:

.... Okay?

... Yes, here I am on Deadspin. Did I mention that I have friends who love college sports, and I value my friendships? I know the things I am interested in aren’t always 100% interesting to the people around me, and it means a lot when they try and listen anyways. So it’s nice to reciprocate.

Ehhh I’ve always thought college sports are dumb. Knowing that I am not watching the highest echelon of competitiveness has always taken away a lot from the experience. The play is generally sloppier than professional sports and there are bigger blowouts- case in point! The fact that ‘Bama won by 11 and still didn’t…

The way our society views sex work IS a part of why more women aren’t prostitutes. Of course not every woman wants to be a prostitute for their own reasons, but some people enjoy doing sex work.

You may think that’s a reasonable assumption, but it’s not. That is why screening and doing due diligence is important. Theoretically ANY interactions with literally ANYONE can be dangerous.

Your idea for focusing on the removal of demand for abortions is incorrect. More access to contraception/sex ed is a better way to decrease the removal of demand than to “give people the courage to have their child”. A lot of people don’t want, or more important CAN’T, have a child growing inside of them in the first…
