Sweet 16 should be a test. If you are ungrateful about your gift you are killed.
what an original idea
GOD BLESS AMERICA
i fucking hated this movie
i haven't seen it
but it's a sufficiently ugly conceit that i wonder if it wasn't intended as a plea for circumspection re: being cynical about how horrible everyone is and wishing ill on them.
then again maybe not!
Have you ever seen The Last Supper? It's the same basic conceit, but handled well.
yeah i basically enjoyed that one. ron perlman is a treat when he gets to act.

LoL skins might be the most in-demand swag item at pax
you are talking about an event whose tickets sold out in like two hours
Naw I had like 40 after last PAXEast and I didn't even play LoL (although I have started in the last week or so. Pre-Ranked levels are way too easy though). My Riot friend couldn't give them away fast enough so he just gave me a stack
The whole mindset and history behind Sweet 16/Quinceañera is really disturbing to me, and nothing moreso about that than it's still a thing.
Always kinda odd when I go to the Galleria on a Saturday and have to remind myself that's not a group of kids coming from their prom.
It just seems like such a gross condoning of oppressive objectification and sexualizing of young girls.
But, I mean, that's definitely a thing that people do.
I've never actually been to one so I have no idea.
They're "coming out" parties, more or less.
It's just a concept I find really sqwick.

HenroidMexican kicked from Immigration ThreadCentrism is Racism :3Registered Userregular
So my brother. The one who kicked me out of our apartment when he got insanely irresponsible in life and thus I had to move to Texas for a long while.
He was going to the hospital today for an appointment to setup a series of tests to figure out why his hearing is the way it is and what can be done to fix it. What I got was a phone call just a few moments ago informing me he's being taken to a special facility for 72 hours because he's on suicide watch.
At face value that sounds extreme. But my brother is more manipulative than these people think. He's BAD at being manipulative when you see how it happens and how he contradicts himself over time. But I dunno. At any rate, even if this is real, I am really, really unsure of how I'm supposed to feel about a guy who is my brother but also kicked me into the most miserable phase of my life.

Quality my ass.
life's a game that you're bound to lose / like using a hammer to pound in screws
fuck up once and you break your thumb / if you're happy at all then you're god damn dumb
that's right we're on a fucked up cruise / God is dead but at least we have booze
bad things happen, no one knows why / the sun burns out and everyone dies

Do you have to register the pax badges or something?
There was an insert that said something to the effect of "Dont line up before 8AM" or whatever.
Do people really line up to get into the convention center?
So many giant backpacks.
I had...
I had no idea...
I am regretting this in advance.

Old family ring with a huge sapphire sounds awesome to me, assuming said family is not totally fucking insane.
Half and half. Her dad loathes me, her mom likes me.
y does her father hate on u
is he just a hater
Dude, how did you miss this story? Lets see the reasons he hates me:
1. I grew up poor. Not quite white trash but poor.
2. My politics.
3. My sexual orientation.
4. That I was raised Catholic which I didn't think was a thing any more but apparently it still is in his mind.
5. That I'm a Yankee.
6. That I've been married once already.
7. That I'm taller then him.*
*This is conjecture. But he's short so I think we can safely assume it.

Speaking from someone who's 3/4ths family members are total raging assholes, always better to find family among good people than good in your family.
skippy, that mothafucka has a air conditioner in it. You can get one on a base that slowly fucking rotates around, giving you a new view every couple of hours.

not to apologize for the sheer grossness of quinceaneras but the tradition is based on the idea that a 16 year-old girl is now a woman
it's exactly the same thing as a bar/ bat mitzvah
It can be, depending on how religiously-tinged the ceremony is, but Bar/Bat Mitzvahs tend to be much more about the person's transition into the religious community.
In that way, S16/Quince is much more akin to debutante balls, being little more than a patriarchal expression of permission given to another person for control of their own body, performed in front of a crowd of their closest friends and family.

your "dry spell" is a direct result of this chair
MY HOME CHAIR IS A FOLDING CHAIR THAT MY PARENTS GOT IN THE EARLY 90S
I am happy with it lol
you could also just get the chair from burn after reading
probably not really the Sweet 16 thing atomika is talking about though, that sounds ceremonial.
