This is a pretty decent list of who not to date, particularly the last point:
Anyone under the age of 25: they are stupid.
Dating sucks anyway and I think I’m going to take a year off. That’s a reasonable goal, isn’t it?

thedetroitfoodie asked: Yea, def check out the Thai food fair! They do them twice a month thru October and the food is really fantastic.

As a rookie last year, i bought the first two dishes i saw (i was famished by the time i got there) and those dishes were meh! So def have a look around and then make a...

Tripling that — running for 90 minutes, 4-5 times per week — improves that number by only 4 percent.

A lot of times when I don’t have the energy to meet new people I wind up with the impression that my friends think I’m either shy or just being rude. And...

feministdisney:
Women were “dramatically under-represented” in the United States’ 100 top-grossing films last year, accounting for 33 percent of all characters at a time when women made up nearly 51 percent of the U.S. population, according to a study released last week.
The 33 percent figure represented an increase over the findings of a similar study in 2002, when women comprised 28 percent...

Now I’m going to go drink one of those little sample bottles of wine mixed with diet cranberry pop and then maybe walk...

“Now you see my fists?” Fullerton police officer Manny Ramos asked Thomas while slipping on a pair of latex gloves.
“Yeah, what about them?” Thomas responded.
“They are getting ready to fuck you up,” said Ramos, a burly cop who appears to outweigh Thomas by 100 pounds…
The cops keep telling him to put his hands behind his back and lay on his stomach, but they are both laying on top of him,...
