I think with the gum, it's worth making a distinction between being a dick" and being rude/insulting. The gum is just as insulting as the other things (enough that it really isn't a gift per se), but it's worth it.

Definitely not NJ, not with that reasoning. We're required to have plates on both the front and the back of the car.

I think I would actually be more surprised if the director didn't have any sex scandels.

#41 This here is proof that you don't actually need a clue to act respectfully.

Famous quote regarding journalism: "If someone tells you it's raining and another tells you it's dry, it's not your job to quote them both. It's your job to look out the fucking window and find out which is true."

She donates money to hate groups. She's been impacting UK legislation.

Huh, the celebratory champagne I've been keeping in the fridge for that event isn't labeled.

#1 My measuring cup is older than me. It works just fine, and probably will for several more decades. You'd be lucky if this monstrosity made it a year.

I feel like this is somehow both the best and worst vehicle possible for that river.

If there's only one shopping option in walking range, that's not actually a walkable city.

I'm missing something here as well, but I can at least tell you that "Tappen Zee" is the name of a bridge into the city.

Don't be silly. Some people will be crying with joy and laughter.

They were back when this meme was made.

I think it's just that they've completed the process of removing all meaning from the word. They're having a gut reaction that the logo change is bad, and woke really is just another word for bad to them now.

Circumcision is medically contraindicated, and anti-vax patients unnecessarily put other patients at risk. Neither of those refusals conflict with the oath.

I have witnessed chainmail clothing being made by novices, and I am an avid knitter. Offhand, I'd say the speed/effort of making a large piece of chainmail is actually pretty comparable to the speed of making a similar sized piece of knitwear, and the chainmail has a smaller learning curve.

The fact that they're planning on selling the house relatively soon is what makes it funny. Somebody might want something unique and quirky for their own selves, but quirky doesn't sell well in the housing market.

Probably some sort of activated charcoal?

There's a lot of cynical reasons one might look to, but it's probably just as simple as the fact that there's specific fashion trends many lesbian women adhere to when they want to be recognizable as lesbian. So, when they specified lesbian, what they really meant was that she had short hair and masculine attire.

Attitudes like this can also be very local. If a handful of people accept something as normal, usually all the people who haven't made up their minds about it will follow suit. Same is true about a handful of people being vocally opposed.

It's been ages since I've used an ethernet port on a laptop, but they're still widely used for desktops.

Legitimately the most depressing comic ever posted by XKCD, and he's made a handful of comics working through his wife's cancer diagnosis and treatment.

She's loads more qualified than the current president, but it would be nice to have higher standards than that. I think a lot of the people putting her name in for consideration are envisioning Barack being the actual decision-maker and leader in a Michelle Obama presidency... which in my opinion is actually a pretty regressive thing to wish for.

It's very much a mixture of both. They really, really don't care about the Garcia family (and the other innocents being kidnapped and sent overseas), so they're not bringing their 'A' game to protecting them.... And their 'A' game is only fair to middling.

Yeah, it's fairly normal to trim a cat's nails, but they get sharp again fairly quickly... and the cat normally objects... sharply.

I don't think the comic implied that that specific event was coed. It's entirely relevant that she did not limit herself to female-only competitions, and had no problem fencing with men.
