Some woman who writes a column called “Hey Ladies” went after Will for last week’s TGDAG and accused him of stealing her intellectual property by using the intro “Heyyyyyyyyy ladies” and an e-mail format in one of his three years worth of weekly columns.
So, if someone is “uncomfortable with that lifelong change to their identity” then why get married? That’s a pretty large lifelong change to one’s identity. If someone is that uncomfortable with it why can’t they just not get married and live together? Then there’s no pressure to even bother with the name change dilemma.
I’m not married so maybe someone who is married could correct me if I’m wrong: isn’t a large part of the reason for marrying someone because you care about them just as much if not more than you care about yourself? So, if changing your name is something that you’re not ecstatic about, and your reasoning is that it’s inconvenient (like I’ve seen a few people say here), but it’s a bigger deal for your husband why wouldn’t you? Maybe I’m just traditional/a romantic/whatever you want to call me, but I’ve always felt like a big part of marriage is doing things you might not be excited about (or even really like) if it’s important to the other person in the marriage.
Have a friend group where we’ve all known each other since we were like 12 and the girls decided that none of that hooking up business was going to happen within the friend group. Can honestly say that it almost makes it worse, because there have been times where it’s well known that there are some feelings but nothing happens (due to the decision to not do the intra-friend group hook ups) and it ends up with a lot of sabotaging each other when they meet people at bars or people they’re just starting to date.
TL;DR: Deciding to not hook up w/in the friend group can potentially lead to a “I’m not going to sleep with you, but no one else can either”.
It always shocks me that people forget about this aspect. This is at minimum 95% of the reason I use condoms until I know that both of us are (and have been for a decent amount of time) on the same page about exclusively seeing each other.
I always know when my parents go on trips because my mom feels the need to text all of the kids “good night”. And, if I don’t respond within 5 minutes (even on Friday/Saturday nights) I get the text from my dad saying “tell your mother good night. She worries about you guys.”

I respect the hell out of how subtle of a shot this entire column was. #TeamDeFries
I feel like this wasn’t news. He definitely said it on one of the earlier podcasts.

It blows my mind every time that topic comes up here. That is one of the biggest factors for me in making sure I wrap up.
As a man who drinks his mixed drinks through a straw: I will drink my drink however I choose.
Also, then I don’t have to carry a napkin around to wipe off my mustache.
Thank you for that reminder. I completely forgot that was Tyler.

This is the only thing on this website that makes me audibly laugh. Solid job, Bandujo.
“He got like two DUI’s” laughed so hard I had to leave my classroom
How is it that every week these make me more and more anxious?
For me I gradually switched over to leaf (Redman, Beechnut, etc.) And just worked my way down from there

Sup?

Maybe I’m just a cheapskate, but I feel like buying expensive shit when I’m hungover would just make my anxiety worse…
That one hit a little too close to home…
