This congressional Republican budget is something different altogether. It is a Trojan horse. Disguised as deficit reduction plans, it is really an attempt to impose a radical vision on our country. It is thinly veiled social Darwinism.

It is antithetical to our entire history as a land of opportunity and upward mobility for everybody who’s willing to work for it; a place where prosperity doesn’t trickle down from the top, but grows outward from the heart of the middle class.

And by gutting the very things we need to grow an economy that’s built to last—education and training, research and development, our infrastructure—it is a prescription for decline.

Would a vegan be ok with putting milk or yogurt on the lady bits to stop the burning sensation from a hot pepper? Or that break the rules? (Sounds like a joke, but this is a serious question)

i think you would have to ask the vegan. there are vegans who wouldn’t be okay with it, and there are vegans who would be willing to make compromises for their ladybits. i can’t speak for all of them. although i do feel comfortable saying that all vegans are okay with you keeping hot peppers away from their ladybits.

How do I get cheba hut potentially lesbian’s number?

i had to google cheba hut and after going to that much trouble, even though we’ve already gone over this and y'all just kill me being scared of each other, i decided to tell you how to get this girl’s number, because i care deeply for you:

“hi! i’ve chosen a very off-peak time to visit this establishment, so you’re not slammed with other customers, and that was a good idea. can i please have an infamous toasted sub with whatever i want on it, a side item of my choosing, and a large drink? thank you! also wow i hope this isn’t too forward or tired or just the worst day of your life, but i’d love to call you sometime. could i get your number?”

Okay so I have this THING where I get really nervous about talking to people, esp women, and I just end up saying stuff to offend them. I feel like I’m just kind of awful and I’ve been condiitoned to be an arse hole. I want to change

i don’t know how to fix you. i always tell people how much something cost when they compliment it. “i love your shirt!” “oh thank you! it was $12 at target two years ago.” i think we’re both just screwed.

My colleague is talking about what he would like me to ‘do’ to his gf. You know what I mean. Do I have enough to file a formal complaint for sexual harassment? My uni is not so good at these things, but I am angry and feel about an inch tall right now.

i am not a legal expert by any means but i would say yes? i would look into whether you can make a complaint against him without having to necessarily notify him of it – for instance, i know at my university you can file an anonymous “concern report” about someone, which is a little 1984ish but maybe good for situations like this because for all you know, he’s doing the same thing to other people. at the very least, going to a supervisor and explaining that you don’t feel comfortable working with this guy seems in order. i’m so sorry you have to deal with this, and i hope he gets the consequences he deserves.
