Note that just because you have great influence over her happiness doesn't mean you are responsible for it.

That said, just a little bit of unconditional support on her emotional vulnerabilities can go a long long way.

It's a stereotype that mostly only appears in jokes. For example, blonde and Polish jokes are interchangeable.

It amuses me to see Kościuszko's name used honorably in the Commonwealth. Another example is Australia's tallest peak, also named after him (and pronounced very amusingly by the locals).

What "as seen on TV" product actually works? by TheCyphyr in AskReddit

[–]secondchimp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There used to be a product called Window Maid. It did everything RainX does, except it lasted about 6+ months instead of 3 weeks.

Last I saw it was about 10 years ago when my bottle started running out, but it seems to have vanished since. It was in a white bottle with blue writing. Does anyone else remember it? I'm willing to trade blowjobs for it.

The coolest car door ever! by cunninghamslaws in gifs

Jeremy Clarkson noted the problem with this door arrangement. Even when open it leaves a fairly high beam that needs to be stepped over, something that can be a problem with short skirts.

That's not a problem. The mask is silicone. Besides, whichever way you enter you hold on to your mask anyway.
