    California, New Jersey well represented on list of ‘miserable’ US cities

    You are so right! Education in California is truly abysmal. Staying in the south and attending the far superior schools located there is a much smarter, much more well considered choice. It’s also a great way to save yourselves from the threat of rampant liberal indoctrination.

    California, New Jersey well represented on list of ‘miserable’ US cities

    Oh no, you must be confused. I think that you must be describing Texas. California, Southern California especially, is a post apocalyptic nightmare of medieval plagues and shambling zombies and jackbooted socialist progressive liberal thugs.

    California, New Jersey well represented on list of ‘miserable’ US cities

    We are all terribly miserable here. It’s true. You should never, ever come here. It’s a hellhole. Stay as far away as you possibly can.

    That’s really unfortunate.

    Ecco shoes

    Agreed. People think nothing of spending a grand on a phone that they will need to replace in a year or two, but balk at spending a few hundred bucks on shoes that will fit perfectly, look great, and last your entire lifetime.

    Ecco shoes

    I didn’t say that I am wearing John Lobb shoes. I was countering the assertion that Eccos are a top of the line English shoe by mentioning an actual top of the line English shoe. I wear Allen Edmonds and Alden’s mostly, because I prefer to buy American-made products.

    Ecco shoes

    No. Just no. Eccos are neither English nor high quality. If you want a high quality English shoe, order a pair from John Lobb. Better yet, have a pair of Alden’s made for you here in the U.S.

    Ecco shoes

    I am definitely not confusing the brand with any other brand. They are terribly ugly, bulky, poorly proportioned, unfashionable shoes.

    1 in 16 Women's first experience was rape

    Yea, I was a regular spinning the wheel in Poor Paul's basement and at Waterworks when it was still downtown and had toast on the wall. I even did the tennessee waltz on my 21st birthday. A very different beast, indeed.

    UCLA is a different beast. There is literally only one bar near campus, and it's priced well outside the reach of most students by design. Campus, itself, is dry, with the exceptions of the faculty center and the bar in the very expensive on-campus hotel. As such, typically the only places that...

    Trump on Cokie Roberts: ‘She never treated me nicely. But I would like to wish her family well.’

    He profoundly screwed up my commute this evening, which is why I am still sitting in my office reading this thread. He is a terrible person.

    Non-binary singer Sam Smith wants to be referred to as ‘they’ not ‘he’

    Merriam-Webster announced today that they have added the singular use of “they” to refer to a non-binary person to the dictionary. https://www.merriam-webster.com/words-at-play/new-words-in-the-dictionary “They: expanded to include this sense: “used to refer to a single person whose gender...

    Not even a little. Deathly serious.

    1 in 16 Women's first experience was rape

    The women with whom I speak are generally more invested in protecting themselves and their friends from being assaulted than they are hooking up. Regardless, I think they also know that they will always be able to find a guy to hook up with regardless of whether they have been drinking.

    You seem to be conflating enthusiastic consent with physiological arousal and response.

    Tinder is explicitly a hook-up app. It’s explicitly for casual NSA sex. There are lots of other apps that are designed for different purposes: Bumble, OkCupid, Hinge, Coffee Meets Bagel, etc. In my work, women seem to enjoy Tinder a lot more than men.

    1 in 16 Women's first experience was rape

    I typically say something like “if you wouldn’t be comfortable with either of you being pulled over by a cop and being asked to take a breathalyzer given how much you’ve had to drink, then you definitely should not be having sex.” We talk risk taking and decision making all the time.

    Huh, I haven’t noticed any reticence on the topic in my experiences with these discussions, but UCLA does tend to be fairly active and energetic about these things. It’s also just not a drinking culture here. Almost every year while I was in grad school, the undergrads vetoed the grad students’...
