Pretty sure Global Entry is only for when you arrive back in the US. Never been to England but I can’t imagine the customs at Heathrow are THAT bad…of course unless you’re carrying a Syrian passport.
Look up the average price of a hotel in London and Paris. Now figure out how much it would cost to spend two weeks at said hotel. Now take 25% of that total price. That’s how much I paid, thanks to mileage points.
My girlfriend and I are flying to London next month. We will be at the airport 3 hours early and will enjoy everything that the Air France lounge has to offer. I’ll already be anxious as is before that 11 hour flight, the last thing I want is anxiety about missing it.
Dammit, March Madness. At around noon PST yesterday, my work bracket, where the winner gets $700, was in great shape and I had the most possible points remaining. 3 hours later, I was done, as I had MSU vs. UNC in the final.
Let me give you an example of why your third point is so wrong and racist.
I’m white and have blonde hair. So, someone with your mindset would attribute me from benefiting from your aforementioned “system of oppression.” However, I’m Jewish. In fact, according to my 23andme test, I’m 98% Ashkenazi Jewish. My family and I immigrated to America in the 1990’s and before that we lived in Russia for centuries. Half my family was wiped out in the Holocaust. Does this sound like someone benefiting from a system of oppression?
When we immigrated to America, my family did what they had to in order to make ends meet – that included my mom, a doctor in the old country, cleaning homes and my dad, an experienced electrician, washing port-o-potties. Does this sound like benefiting from a system of oppression?
That’s why your statement is racist. You look at someone and you generalize what they are and what they do by their skin color. If you looked at me, a middle class white male in his 20’s, you would assume that I’m the product of generations of American racism. However, as you can see now that I’ve given you my background, nothing could be farther from that assumption.
1. It was a joke, chill.
2. You’d be surprised about its use if you read something besides Salon, Jezebel or Huffpost.
3. As always, username doesn’t check out.
I seriously don’t understand why this hasn’t caught up with most weddings by now. I think it’s fare to assume that more often than not people live together before they get married so they don’t really need your typical wedding registry items.
If she’s a gamer, absolutely. Mine isn’t a gamer, unfortunately, but the fact that you can bring it with you anywhere and bust it out anytime for a 2 player Mario Kart sesh is a gamechanger.
This is why I couldn’t be happier with my Switch. My girlfriend sits on the couch and watches her TV shows, I beat some n00bs in Mario Kart while sitting next to her, shouting profanities every so often because I fucking hate those goddamn spiny shells.
My video game needs are satisfied and she feels like I’m still spending time with her. Thanks for saving my relationship, Nintendo.
A lot. All “exclusive” really means is that you’re not banging other people. Boyfriend/girlfriend means you’re introducing him/her to your family and friends, etc – aka, it’s a full-fledged relationship.
I see it as you become exclusive and then wait a bit to get to know them better before becoming boyfriend/girlfriend.
I blame dating apps on all this. I feel like the reason so many people are so hesitant to become exclusive is because a potential new partner is just a swipe away. Or at least that’s the perception of it. So with that knowledge, they overanalyze the shit out of their current partner or they think their partner is too clingy for moving too fast (if you think that a double text is clingy, I can’t even imagine what you would think if your partner had a DTR talk earlier than whatever timeline you deemed as acceptable).
I don’t see the problem with going exclusive early on. Plus, going exclusive isn’t the same thing as having someone’s babies. You can go exclusive, spend a few months with that person, discover they’re not a fit for you, and break up. But at least that way you gave that person, and the relationship, a fair shot.

You know, you can express disdain for the people referred to in this piece without being racist.

As someone that’s been financially independent since I was 21 and doesn’t rely on their family for anything financially, I really hate these people.
Uhoh, you triggered the feminazis.
Fair*. Thanks, autocorrect.

Touche.
Yeah it sounds like he has the emotional IQ of a monkey and she has the communication skills of a tree.
There’s way deeper relationship issues at play than the conversation (if you can call it that) leads on.

What happens if your team lost in the First Four? Should I have blacked out on Tuesday night (thanks, Steve Alford)?

Post-hangover Chipotle, Gatorade and sex? Kelsey is a keeper.
