When I was in high school I had saved about 25 euro's to buy a very pretty, fancy calendar book for school. On my way to the store to buy it I ran into a lady with a girl a few years younger than I. She was begging for money and she and her daughter looked down on their luck, dressed in old, ill fitting clothes.
I thought to myself I would rather help them have dinner than get an expensive calendar book. A simple one would do the job just as well and if my money can help these people then it's money better spent. So I gave them all I could and bought a simple calendar book instead.
Later that afternoon I saw her daughter step onto the same bus as me, wearing different clothing, carrying the expensive calendar book I was going to buy!!!! I felt gutted.
After that I stopped giving money. But after reading this post I'm going to change back. That dad was right. Lying about your situation says something about your character, not helping when you can says something about mine.

It's likely their 2nd language, so you made an account to just be a douche...

No. This is my puppy now.

I'm 28 weeks late, but I just want to mention that the babies are depicted as being able to stand on their own, and one of them has managed to get a six pack on his back. Hence forth known as a six back.
These are the real miracles if you ask me.

Were there also deer in this enclosure? Just checking...

I'm glad someone finally said it.

Also there should be a "fast lane" running the entire length of the airport so that families of 10 who like to spread out and and then stop to talk for 5 minutes about where they should go next, are kept separate from those of us who know where we're going and just want to get there without slowing down to guide our hand luggage through a human obstacle course.
End rant.

What kind of reptile is this?

I hate how the media sensationalizes research and comes up with ridiculous headlines just to draw attention.
The ACTUAL research paper is called:
Gluteofemoral body fat as a determinant of metabolic health

I tried to post a link to the article but I can't... :'(
Give it a google, though.

Americans: Please tell me why "Damn" is impolite, but "Dang" which has the same use and meaning is not impolite?

Vampires confirmed.

Look, I know the photographer is trying to be clever and work with angles, but I know a unicorn when I see one.

The pampas cat looks fed up with everybody's shhii

I translated it into Latin an back:

It is not the sharpest tool in the shed so that they

Ah, now you are in all things, the star, get out of your sport, to go to play!

Just imagine going on vacation and having to lug a suitcase up and down these stairs....

Uhm, so you catch an intelligent creature and then force it to work while not paying it and pocketing the profits yourself?
This reminds of something.... Can't quite put my finger on it though...

I strive to one day be as happy as this man with his giant onion.

What about the 4th type who were so convinced they had the answer and tried to help you, but their help only made things So. Much. Worse

I don't claim to be an expert on morality, but I do know that any one who wakes up thet duckling will go to the worst lvl of hell.

I think to show something heroic and positive a member of a minority group that has very negative stereotypes has done, is great. It is scientifically the best way to combat negative stereotypes (I study psy).
It seems callous to call him an ex-con, and sure, they should use his name as well, but studies have proven time and time again that the best way for people to overcome prejudice is to see multiple members of the negatively viewed minority doing positive things. For this to work you still need to name the negatively viewed minority they are a part of if it is not obvious by looking at them.

The true stuff of nightmares...

Three tries and each one more horrific then the one before. Although I did manage to hit caps lock on the first somehow, so perhaps that's the worst 1?
