They say first love is the strongest, but nobody forgets their first real crush. It hits everyone like a boombox to the face at a school talent show and it makes us sweaty, anxious and weird.
Whether you have the type of high school love that involves promises of marriage and babies, emo make out sessions in cemeteries, or only communicating via text message and then running away the second you see them in the hallway--first love is true love. There's a reason why Romeo & Juliet had to die and it's because being a teenager in love makes everyone fully insane.
Just in time for Valentine's Day, a recent Reddit thread asked users, "What is your high school crush doing now?" and people truly went there. From heartwarming tales of unrequited love to reigniting old flames into adulthood, love is in the internet air. Welcome back to high school, we hope you all find Hershey kisses in your lockers.
1. Give it up for Todd, "IronMermaiden."
Hes married to his high school girlfriend. When I was a sophomore he was a senior and I wrote him a note and asked him out to get coffee. He was so polite about turning me down. Todd... you beautiful man... if you're reading this, hi and thanks for not crushing a 16 year old to pieces.
2. It's ok, "shalste2."
She’s married to a guy in the MLB, before me she dated another guy who made it to the NBA. I’m decent at beer pong and throwing a frisbee tho :/
3. Anything is possible, "kingxgamer."
I was actually thinking about her the other week. She graduated and never got on social media, so I never was able to befriend her on Facebook. None of my friends even remembers her… I describe what she looked like and everything, so I’m thinking she never existed and I’m just crazy.
4. We all go through a Jack phase, "quokka597."
I have two. I haven't kept up with them, but this question inspired me to look them up on Facebook.
One of them is studying political science at Yale and will be starting law school in the fall.
The other one hasn't posted anything on Facebook in years, but his profile picture is a photo of him drinking Jack straight out of the bottle.
5. Well done, "squeeeeenis."
Prison.
I did, however, hook up with him before prison.
6. Wow this is beautiful, "grammarchick."
I'm not sure, but I know he did get a teaching degree so hopefully he got a good job and is enlightening kids somewhere. I actually went to the same college that he did, and just before he graduated I simply sat down with him and confessed that he had been my crush back in high school. He turned bright red and said he was surprised he was anyone's crush - he was caught up in sports and extra classes and didn't date much. He thanked me and gave me a hug, and somewhere in my head my 16-year-old self shrieked with glee.
7. This is the truest of tragedies, "Impulse882."
Recently found out I was the high school crush of my high school crush.
Oh the chances we don’t take
8. This is a three sentence story that make me cry, "uusuzanne."
Got back together with him after 38 years apart. We had 8 wonderful years before he died of cancer. He's been gone 3 years now and the loss is still fresh. But I am so glad we had those 8 years!
9. Very important information, "teaching-man."
I just googled her, yeah, she’s still hot.
10. We all have our strengths, "JDLovesElliot."
She's a crossfit bodybuilder now. I am struggling to go to the gym once a week.
11. Good one, "DerpySealzVI."
Idk, she has her curtains closed so I can’t look in
12. Aww, "ExtensionPerformer."
He's over on the couch browsing reddit on his phone.
13. Yes, yes, yes! "kmfstudios."
Watching TV in our room. We reconnected almost 20 years after high school. I’m planning on proposing next month.
14. Nice, "Hogosha."
I have 2. One is happily married to her wife and serving the military. The other is in the FBI.
I think I have a type
15. We've all been here, "prunepicker."
He’s living with his boyfriend on the coast of California. No, I didn’t know he was gay.
16. High school is a real journey, "jewbotbotbot."
She came out as a lesbian and started dating my best friend. I have since come out as gay so we're all just friends now.
Happy Valentine's Day!
Regardless of whether the kiss itself was considered good or not, most of us remember our first kiss. It's an emotional and physical milestone constantly obsessed over in popular music and television, and can either set off a formative romance, or serve as a bad story for the ages.
Unfortunately, since popular culture is still so heteronormative, most of the depictions of first kisses in the media refer to straight couples, and oftentimes forums full of people sharing their first kisses assume straightness.
So, in a recent Twitter thread the musician Adult Mom asked their LGBTQ followers to share their first kisses, and the thread is full of both romance and drama.
tell me about your first gay kiss
— adult mom ☁️ (@adultmomband) February 12, 2019
The answers are still flowing in, and there's time for you to add your own first kiss! But in the meantime, I gathered 60 first kiss stories to gaze upon as you prepare for Valentines Day.

mine was at a party when I was 14 and we were “practicing” in a locked room that we stayed in for ~20 minutes lol ....

we were in her basement, there was a water leak so the floor and walls were getting wet. We were listening to The Velvet Underground. I'd had a crush on the friend in question for a LONG time. It was the day before I took my SAT IIs. I did not do very well on that test.

I was 20 and confused so I went to the monthly lgbtq dance at my college and just watched people until this girl with blue hair asked me to dance. I shuffled back and forth like a lobster on adderall and yet, remarkably, she kissed me.

Kids are adorable, innocent beacons of the hope for the future. Sometimes, though, they're ticking time bombs for embarrassing moments.
Sometimes it's easy to forget that children are exploring a very confusing world full of things like mosquitos (why?), reality television, water falling from the sky, and Donald Trump. The only tool children have to access information is by asking questions and sometimes those questions are either brutally honest, fully insulting, or both.
When a recent Reddit thread asked parents, "What is the most embarrassing thing your toddler said out loud in public?" people were quick to share the grocery store moments that haunt their dreams.
1. Oh my god, "chronically_varelse."
My sister, at about age 3, pointed at a large black lady on the bus and loudly exclaimed "FAT ALBERT!"
My mother was horrified, but thankfully said lady had extraordinary grace and told the loud toddler that yes, she was fat, but she was not Albert.
2. What mom doesn't like trash cigarettes? "thisguysciences."
My wife had my 3 year old at the park one day. She decided to pick up some litter to make the park look nicer so she was throwing away pop bottles, chip bags etc and he wanted to help.
He stoops to pick up some cigarette butts and my wife says leave those to mommy (she wasn't going to pick them up but didn't want him to touch them either).
A few minutes later he has gone to play. He tells another mom, "I'm finding cigarettes for mommy".
My wife was so embarrassed and said she got the dirtiest looks from near by parents who heard this.
3. Dear god, "notmax."
Not me but my midwife.
Pregnant with second child, three year old daughter asks why mummy’s belly is so big. She’s told there’s a baby in there.
She turns to daddy and asks “do you have a baby in there too?” Dad replies gently “No, I’m just fat!”
A few days later in the checkout line and there’s a very large lady behind them in the line.
The little girl asks the lady “Do you have a baby in your tummy like my mummy?”
The lady is kind and just says no she doesn’t, to which the girl responds “oh just fat then?”
4. It's true, though, "LedZappa."
At the grocery store with my boys, 2 and 3. Suddenly, without any context, the 3-year-old broke his silence to scream at the cashier, "Mama's wiener is missing!"
5. Yikes, "BerryJunky."
My nephew used to say "dick" when he was trying to say "stick." So the story about the time he went in the woods with the man and they were playing with dicks was a really fun thing to spring on unsuspecting guests that didn't know what he was trying to say.
6. Like a true New Yorker, "thebroklahomen."
My friends daughter (~2.5 y/o) saw another kid in the grocery store with a toy truck, and out of nowhere says “I want that fuckin’ truck...” in an angry tone
Not the funniest thing to read, I know, but we’ve been saying that in a baby voice for the last few years and it always cracks us up.
7. A true horror story for a dad, "doktorwu."
Daughter was five (I'm dad) and she and I were in Kroger looking at greeting cards. She was proud of her reading ability, picking up cards at random and reading them. Suddenly she read, in a very clear, very loud voice, "Sex. Sex. Sex. Is that all you ever want from me?"
8. Noooooooo, "ponchojukebox."
During a private Remembrance Day (Armistice Day) ceremony with veterans, my 3-year-old soiled her diaper. I changed her in a back room and when we came out, it was the moment of silence. She slammed the door and yelled to all the vets, “I just had a BIG poo! And it had PEANUTS in it!”
9. This is adorable, "Whitt_tthe_Shitt."
My son was 2 and thought every black man was his dad. He was away for the military a while so when we were at Boston Market he called another random stranger “daddy!!” And ran to him and hugged him. Hahaha the guy actually picked him up and said “I’m not you’re dad but hey buddy!”
I was mortified but couldn’t stop laughing.
10. There are no secrets with children, "TishraDR."
I was with a group of friends and was asked if I drink. I said I don't really, and my daughter said "but mom, you drink all the time." She had no idea the difference between drinking alcohol and drinking everything else.
11. Yeah this is a great move, "cybermericorp."
My daughter is 16 months. When she is done interacting with someone she will dismissively wave her hand and say "All done! Bye!" My wife doesn't like it but I think it's funny and a total power move.
12. At least she was polite? "GaijinSama."
I was in a check out line at the supermarket and an older guy with an eye patch came up behind us in line. My daughter, in the cart, looked at him and said "merry christmas Mr. Pirate!"
13. Nice, "Daleksarecoming."
We were at Catholic mass. I was 2-3 years old. They ring the altar bell in mass at some point. They ring it, the church is dead quiet, and I screamed "Telephone!!!"
14. Please tell me this was in church, "notmax."
“THE ONLY THING THAT RHYMES WITH JESUS IS PENIS!”
15. Oh god no, "longmover."
I was in Costco and my son (who was about 5 at the time) ran up to me, grabbed my hand and started pulling me towards the next aisle. “Dad! Dad! Look! Real ninjas!” Whilst pointing at two women in full Burkas
For the first time in forever, fans have been treated to new footage from the Frozenuniverse, and the true love is thawing even the most cynical tweeters' hearts.
Since the first Frozen was released in 2013, it inspired countless YouTube videos of kids singing "Let It Go" and a #GiveElsaAGirlfriend hashtag campaign to make the coming out anthem canon.
The teaser shows a superheroic Elsa, in pants, taking on the WHOLE DAMN OCEAN, which, as you may recall, was the force of nature that killed both her parents in a shipwreck.
Not only does Elsa wear pants, but she also wears a blazer.
ELSA IN A SUIT.

Co-director Jennifer Lee hinted at possibly making the Queer Elsa dream a reality, telling The Huffington Post that she was at least open to the idea:
"I love everything people are saying [and] people are thinking about with our film ― that it's creating dialogue, that Elsa is this wonderful character that speaks to so many people.It means the world to us that we're part of these conversations," she said.
"Where we're going with it, we have tons of conversations about it, and we're really conscientious about these things."
The trailer also features a glimpse at new characters checking out the foliage in what appears to be an autumn in New England. Did Elsa enroll at liberal arts college and meet her autumn equivalent?

People skeptical that Disney would actually have the balls to include an LGBTQ love story. The live-action Beauty and the Beast made headlines for featuring the first ever "gay moment" in a Disney movie. The much-hyped "gay moment" turned out to be a two-second dance between LeFou and a hot French guy, but maybe Josh Gad's latest Disney movie will give us more to work with?

Wasn't it a point in the movie Frozen, that one could be happy without a romantic partner? Seeing all these SJWS pushing for Elsa to be a lesbian screams insecurity, and of course Disney will pretend one background character is gay, and all the leftists will sing praises.

Mike Pence is inevitably going to call Frozen 2 "liberal propaganda," so they might as well just go full-on gay.
These hysterially funny memes are proof that mornings aren't all bad. This meme list is guaranteed to crack you up, even if you're not a morning person.
It's always refreshing when celebrities get honest about the food and body image issues they've struggled with throughout the years, particularly because it helps fight stigma and shame for others going through the same process.
The singer Sam Smith has been pretty open about his past struggles with food and self-image, and he got even more vulnerable with his fans on Wednesday in an Instagram post detailing his complicated relationship with pictures of himself.
View this post on InstagramA post shared by Sam Smith (@samsmith) on
He wrote about how in anticipation of past photo shoots, shirtless or clothed, he would starve himself and criticize every single body part.
"In the past if I have ever done a photo shoot with so much as a t-shirt on, I have starved myself for weeks in advance and then picked and prodded at every picture and then normally taken the picture down."
However, for this photo shoot, Smith decided to push himself past his toxic self-talk and try to view himself from the perspective of those who love him.
"Yesterday I decided to fight the fuck back. Reclaim my body and stop trying to change this chest and these hips and these curves that my mum and dad made and love so unconditionally. Some may take this as narcissistic and showing off but if you knew how much courage it took to do this and the body trauma I have experienced as a kid you wouldn’t think those things."
He then thanked his fans, loved ones, and photographer Ryan Fluger for giving him the courage to share this part of himself, and stated that the process of learning to love yourself is not linear.
"Thank you for helping me celebrate my body AS IT IS @ryanpfluger I have never felt safer than I did with you. I’ll always be at war with this bloody mirror but this shoot and this day was a step in the right fucking direction."
Hopefully, Smith is able to continue pushing his thought patterns towards self-acceptance, it's harder than it sounds but he's got a lot of people on his side.

On Wednesday, the New York Times dropped a story alleging 44-year-old folk musician Ryan Adams of psychological abuse against seven different women, one of whom is his ex-wife and fellow musician Mandy Moore.
— priscilla page (@BBW_BFF) February 14, 2019
In the report, Moore shared that Adams was controlling both of her career and their relationship, and that he would "wield his influence in damaging ways." She also said when they wrote songs together he would promise her studio time and then offer it to other women.
for years, Ryan Adams has used his influence in music to lure in and emotionally torment women@melenar& I talked to some, including Mandy Moore, Phoebe Bridgers & a young woman who says her sexual texts w Adams while she was underage killed her dreams https://t.co/OuGkTDzyNQ
— Joe Coscarelli (@joecoscarelli) February 13, 2019
At one point, Moore remembered him saying, "You're not a real musician, because you don't play an instrument," and she shared that he acted in a "psychologically abusive manner" throughout their relationship.
I am so proud of the graceful, class act that you are, @TheMandyMoore.
— Minka Kelly (@minkakelly) February 14, 2019
You are stronger and braver than most. What a joy it has been to watch you soar these past three years.
You’ve only just begun. ❤️ https://t.co/aDgx382d2v
"His controlling behavior essentially did block my ability to make new connections in the industry during a very pivotal and potentially lucrative time — my entire mid-to-late 20s," Moore told reporters.
Sadly, Moore's account of Adams character was echoed by the six other women, and now even more women are tweeting about negative experiences with the musician. His ex-fiance Megan Butterworth said he was "controlling" and "emotionally abusive" and that he digitally stalked and harassed her.
fun fact about that creep everyone's talking about: 4 or 5 years ago he DMed me often & invited me to his "private pinball arcade." I said no because I had A Bad Feeling, & he unfollowed. anyway, I believe every word of that NYT article, & I'll probably delete this.

— Jia Tolentino (@jiatolentino) February 14, 2019
Another woman, a 20-year-old named Ava shared that Adams had "sexual conversations" with her when she was a minor. In lieu of the news, a handful of celebrities, particularly female musicians have been expressing their support for Moore and others who came forward.
ryan adams didn't get away with this for so long because he made awe inspiring, impossible-to-criticize music. he got away with it because 95% of the music industry from DIY on up are completely mediocre pervert dudes just like him and they all want to keep it this way
— meredith graves (@gravesmeredith) February 14, 2019
Thank you to Mandy, Phoebe, Courtney and others for speaking out. This is an important article. This also cracks the door on more like him in our industry. There are more. Thank you to the @nytimes for continuing these important reveals. We're all fed up. https://t.co/xlU6ibjubX

The saddest part about the NYT article on Ryan Adams is that it could literally be written about so many dudes in music. Also my favorite type of male apology is the kind where they literally don’t apologize at all lol
— Best Coast (@BestCoast) February 13, 2019
I'd like to take this space as a change to THANK Ava, Phoebe, Courtney, and Mandy! This happens WAY too often in the music industry, and they are beyond fucking badass for speaking out.
— Antonioni (@antonioniband) February 13, 2019
Shortly after the article made the rounds, Adams posted a tweet framed as an apology that shows no remorse. In the tweet, he apologizes for the "unintentional hurt" he caused anyone, without taking any responsibility.
I am not a perfect man and I have made many mistakes. To anyone I have ever hurt, however unintentionally, I apologize deeply and unreservedly.
— Ryan Adams (@TheRyanAdams) February 13, 2019
After his non-apology, he then went on to discredit the article and claim it painted him falsely.
But the picture that this article paints is upsettingly inaccurate. Some of its details are misrepresented; some are exaggerated; some are outright false. I would never have inappropriate interactions with someone I thought was underage. Period.
— Ryan Adams (@TheRyanAdams) February 13, 2019
As someone who has always tried to spread joy through my music and my life, hearing that some people believe I caused them pain saddens me greatly. I am resolved to work to be the best man I can be. And I wish everyone compassion, understanding and healing.
— Ryan Adams (@TheRyanAdams) February 13, 2019
Hours after Adams posted his defensive response, Moore made an Instagram post expressing support and solidarity with all the women who have come forward, both about Adams and in general.
She wrote:
"Speaking your truth can be painful and triggering but it’s always worth it. My heart is with all women who have suffered any sort of trauma or abuse. You are seen and heard. #sisterhoodforever"
Luckily, despite his protests, Moore has been receiving a lot of support for speaking out against her ex-husband.
Mandy Moore deserves everything.

Dictionary.com defines "bigot" as "a person who is utterly intolerant of any differing creed, belief, or opinion."
The indispensable resource provided additional information when notorious pro-Trump troll (and literal voice of Hades in Hercules) James Woods decided to use his platform to continue hating trans people.
The actor-in-a-past-life, who has been accused of predatory behavior by Amber Tamblyn when she was a teen, tried to seem real smart and cool with his take on gender pronouns.
Woods, based on what I assume is his extensive knowledge on the history and evolution of the English language, insisted that plural gender pronouns for individuals is an invention of "hare-brained liberals."
In reality, according to the literal dictionary, "they" has been used to address individuals for centuries, and by some of the best writers who have ever written.
They has been in use as a singular pronoun since the 1300s. Among its best known users in history: Chaucer, Shakespeare, and Jane Austen. https://t.co/nQcNSgnd0Qhttps://t.co/OpLuvDzyYP

Dearest Dictionary:
Nothing beats watching one of your favorite movies from childhood as an adult and seeing it in a whole new light.
While children of course enjoy all the classics, it's extra fun when something is thrown in just for the adults. After all, the parents are paying for it. They're the ones dragging everyone to a movie theater or trying to find out how to download it Christmas morning--it only makes sense there should be something in it for them. While some people like to go overboard trying to find hidden subliminal sexual messages in kids movies, it's nicer to think the writers were just having a solid laugh with wordplay every now and then.
Recently, a Reddit thread challenged the internet by asking, "What's the best adult joke in a kid's movie?" and people delivered. Prepare for a nostalgia overload, it's time to turn on "Mulan."
1. Classic Disney, "kkeh0831."
In Toy Story, Bo Peep seductively tells Woody that she'll have someone else watch her sheep that night. In the same movie
"The term you're looking for is 'Space Ranger'."
"No, the word I'm looking for I can't say because there are preschool toys present!"
2. We all know what that is, "baohavan."
The scene in Shrek 2 when Puss In Boots is caught with "catnip"
3. Might be a stretch, but I support it "pattysmife."
Dude what about the scene where Farquad literally sets up to jerk it to the magic mirror?
4. Oh my god, yes, "Gottapost2c."
Old one: Hocus Pocus. We desire children. Bus driver "may take me a couple of tries but I don't think its going to be a problem."
5. Mulan is the best, "RedWestern."
In Mulan, Mushu sees a whole bunch of men hurrying down to the lake where Mulan is skinny dipping, and panics “There’s a couple things I know they’re bound to notice!”
That whole scene was one big adult joke.
6. Definitely, "rosee01."
In Big, with Tom Hanks, when he gets propositioned by the woman he's seeing to "sleep over."
"OK, but I get to be on top!"
Saw this movie in its first run when I was a kid, and it was funny because, you know, bunk beds. Saw the movie a good 10 or 15 years later and...ohhhhh....
7. For sure, "LotusPrince."
Ratatouille, where Alfredo's trying to explain to Colette that he has a rat doing his cooking for him.
"I have a small...uh..." and he puts his thumb and forefinger together.
Collette briefly glances down, then back up at him, and looks confused and slightly disgusted.
8. We must support thespians, "Apidooom."
In Rango:
Ezekiel: [while reading a book] I think they's thespians!
Balthazar: Thespians? That's illegal in seven states!
9. This one is A+, "gestrada3000."
I'm fond of the bestiality joke in Frozen. "That thing with the reindeer/That's a little outside of nature's laws"
10. Everyone loves a rhyme, "trickfinger7."
In the Rugrats Movie, when the parents are discussing the sex of the new baby (who ends up being Dill) Angelica’s mom says “Well, yanno what they say: born under Venus, look for a...” before she gets interrupted
11. Give it up for accidents, "to_the_tenth_power."
In one of the Powerpuff Girls episodes, the girls make friends with another girl their age and when they introduce her to Professor Utonium they explain he created them by accident.
The girl says, "Don't worry professor, I was made by accident too."
12. How scandalous, "PUGDOGRO1."
The Hey Arnold movie where Helga says about Arnold, "You make my girlhood tremble"
13. All hail, LEGO movie, "MrJosephWorldwide."
In the LEGO Batman movie where Robin says to Batman
“My name is Richard but my friends call me Dick.”
And he responds
“Kids can be cruel”
14. Ok, but everyone loves "Breaking Bad," "pvc468."
In "Zootopia," they reference Breaking Bad, by saying, "Hurry, before Walt and Jesse get back." while they are wearing yellow jumpsuits and harvesting the toxic blue flowers.
15. This is a debate, "lularoeisacam9."
In frozen where Anna is on the sleigh ride with Kristoff and they were talking about foot size. Anna says “size doesn’t matter”
16. Dirty Donkey, "Mephestrial."
I was watching Shrek the other day, and Donkey was sleep talking. He said "oh you like that baby? Hop up in my saddle, I'll give you a ride".
My partner and I just about died laughing.
17. It was a less accepting time, "wffrdrg."
Princess diaries the chauffeur Joe was like San Franciscos A weird place, when I bought the panty hose they asked if I wanted them bagged or to wear them out
Valentine's day is honestly the worst.
If you're single, it's just a reminder that you're alone, eating Hersey kisses and drinking wine in yoga pants you've never done yoga in. If you're in a relationship, it's a forced day to express love in the form of material items which feels dirty and insincere. The restaurants are slammed, florists are stressed, it's usually on a weekday--everything is bad.
While I'm not trying to knock anyone for going out of their way to make someone feel loved, there are a few Valentine's Day clichés we should probably just let die.
1. Heart necklaces.
It was one of those ugly gold grandma heart necklaces 😭😭😭 he paid a lot for it though and I feel terrible.
— T I N A (@wolfgazee) February 14, 2019
Unless you're in middle school and dating someone you have a purely texting relationship with, you don't need a heart necklace. Valentine's Day-themed garbage is so covered in hearts, getting a heart necklace would be like getting your wife a necklace for Christmas that just said, "Merry Christmas!" It's weird, it's boring, they're honestly never pretty and every woman you know has at least five buried somewhere in a box.
2. Infinity jewelry, or "forever"-themed bling.
If you're just dating someone, getting them anything "forever"-themed that isn't an engagement ring is a bit much. Infinity symbols are cool in theory, but on jewelry they just look like you're really into the number 8. Every kiss does not being with Kay, it begins with Tinder and tequila.
3. The overpriced heart-shaped box of mystery candy.
Forrest Gump might've said these boxes are fun because "you never know what you're going to get," but biting into some chocolatier's strawberry jelly experiment isn't ideal. Yes, they are pretty fun sometimes, but just get them the second they're discounted and enjoy them then.
4. Flowers.
ATTENTION MEN: STOP BUYING YOUR GIRLFRIEND FLOWERS AND PERFUME FOR VALENTINE’S DAY AND GET HER WHAT SHE REALLY WANTS. A SWORD
— beth mccoll (@imteddybless) February 14, 2019
Ok, I know this is controversial and everyone does love flowers. However, sending flowers to your significant other's place of work, or bringing flowers to a dinner or show you both have to spend a lot of time at--not great. Basically, you're giving someone three chores 1) holding these flowers all night, 2) finding something at home to put these flowers in (mason jars?) 3) deciding when these flowers are dead and throwing them out. Flowers, while beautiful, are just plants on their deathbed. They're gorgeous garbage and we can all do better.
5. Stuffed animals.
Unless you're both under the age of 13, getting an adult a teddy bear is...let's just not. Are you supposed to keep it in your adult apartment in your adult bed? Do you put it on a shelf and explain to your adult friends that your adult significant other purchased a toy that says "ages 3+" on it? Yes, they're cute, but they're for children, not for a person who pays taxes and has health insurance.
6. Balloons.
With Bill Clinton being the rare exception, balloons are only fun if you're five years old and living in the Mary Poppins universe. In line with the flowers theory, balloons are just something you have to carry around AND worry about flying off into the sky and creating sky-litter.
7. Lingerie.
To all the girls I see at my work buying lingerie today,
— Brittany 🌻 (@bright_sid3) February 14, 2019
FUCKING THROW THAT ASS BACK TONIGHT YA BAD BITCH. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Unless your significant other gave you specific styles and sizes, going rogue in a Victoria's Secret isn't a great move. Most of the time you'll end up either over-shooting on size and watching your partner cry about how big you thought their ass was, or underestimating size and watching your partner cry about how their ass can't fit in this lingerie. To clarify, this is if you're purchasing lingerie for someone else to wear, not buying lingerie for yourself so that someone else can (view?) it. While I personally don't understand the appeal of fancy garters and lace that will be taken off almost immediately, it's a very successful industry so who knows.
8. Naming a star after someone.
BLOG | Planning on what to give to your special someone this coming Valentines? You might want to consider buying a star and naming it after your loved ones. But is it really possible?
— Panahon.TV (@PanahonTV) February 12, 2019
READ: https://t.co/f4DIbMPBS7pic.twitter.com/ycHlmY3sR6
This is totally cute, but also--what does anyone does with this? Can you actually find your star, and even if you do, then what? This seems like a scam that a hopeless rom-com character invented and now they're making bank.
If you were nervous about what to get your significant other and then you read this list and are thinking, well what SHOULD I do? May I suggest money, a vacation, a thoughtful letter, bath bombs, a home-cooked dinner, a pizza, a vibrator...Look, I don't know what your partner likes. The point is, Valentine's Day made people lazy about showing their romantic partners they care and we need to banish heart necklaces forever.
This totally NSFW meme list will make anyone with a dirty mind laugh out loud. If you have a filthy mind and a wicked sense of humor, these memes will take you straight to horny town.
All too often, people leave a date with no idea how the other person feels about them. If you're not into the other person, it can be stressful trying to gauge how they feel about the situation, whether to go forward with chilling through another date and whether it'll come across presumptuous to let them down. If they're not into you either, will they make you feel stupid for laying out the reasons you don't want to go out again? Or is it leading someone on to stay mum about the lack of connection?
While there's no easy way to navigate letting a date down, avoiding these awkward conversations oftentimes results in the awful trend of ghosting, which leaves one person completely in the emotional lurch.
Since ghosting is so common, and its rare to see healthy emotional rejection modeled online, the Reddit user karmabandido's breakup text with his date quickly went viral for its honesty.
This is the ideal example of how to let someone down easy, he was polite and respectful, didn't ghost her - but also didn't mince words about the lack of connection. In return, she was able to reveal that she felt the same way and they were able to avoid further awkward interactions without ghosting or negging each other.
It's Valentine's Day, a day when people in relationships finally get to talk about the fact that they're in relationships!
No doubt that your social media feeds are clogged with couples being couple-y, declare their love for one another online as if they're not planning on meeting up tonight.
While most real-life love stories are boring (it's always some variation of "we met online or at a friend's cousin's dogwalker's Halloween party"), the How We Met Project features non-fictional love stories that are actually worth reading.
They're better than a rom-com, because they're real!

Pardon me as I bawl.
Do you want the good news or the bad news first?
The good news is that there won't be a government shutdown, as the government has done the bare minimum and agreed on a budget to continue operating!
The bad news is that because Congress' spending bill does not appropriate funds for his beloved Game of Thrones tribute wall on the Southern border, Trump is set to declare martial law and just do it anyway!
That sounds like hyperbole, but no, it's just a description of what's going on.
As a testament to just how much thought they put into declaring an emergency over Sicario 2 fanfiction, Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders released the White House's official statement as a screenshot from the Notes App, an iPhone feature most commonly used when a celebrity has to apologize for being racist.

Yesterday was Valentines Day, but the gift of love is something that gives everyday. As you well know, love takes many forms, it presents itself in romantic relationships, family, friendships and passions, and one of the internet's greatest love affairs is dragging Tomi Lahren after she tweets something cruel or incomprehensible.
This year for Valentines Day, Lermen gave the internet what we all didn't realize we wanted, a snarky tweet implying feminists neither find love or get laid.
Undoubtedly, Tommy Laymen must have felt a rush of adrenaline when she hit send on this juicy hunk of cliche digital garbage.

In fact, if anything, the "angry feminists" she targeted were far more gracious with Tommy on Valentines Day than merited. It seems pretty clear who the angry lonely one in this equation is.
Anti-vaxxers come up with such absurd theories that sometimes it feels like the best argument against them is, "Did you fucking hear what you just said though???" Sadly, that exact question doesn't seem to get to them, but using a tactic that forces them to take a hard look at the insanity webs they are weaving just might. How does one do this? I'm so glad you asked...
A woman on the internet (hero) took the anti-vaxxer theory that vaccination should be avoided because some kids who have been vaccinated also have Autism and compared it to the idea that feeding your children should be avoided because some children who have eaten food have also choked. As a wise young wizard once said: that's bloody brilliant.

There's a lot to unpack here, but I would like to start by giving praise to the part where she listed "garlic breath" as one of the dangers that food poses. Genius. As a whole, this perfectly points out the flaws in anti-vaxxers' argument. Pretty much everything in this world can involve complications, but that doesn't mean you should lock yourself in a vault and never go outside. Although, I'm sure some anti-vaxxers have considered doing exactly that.
A lot of people in the comments were here for this women's argument and rallied behind her with praise.

Fun fact. Everybody who has died has eaten food. Coincidence?...I don't think so. Food is poison!!! wake up sheeple!!
Seraphiel123 pointed out:
That's actually a more reasonable stance than anti-vaxxers because there is an actual risk from choking from eating but there is no risk of autism from vaccines at all.

Same mom to child "You can't sit outside!!! Outside is where the Civil War happened!!!
This argument *should* be able to show anti-vaxxers how wrong they are, but I have the feeling they won't be able to see the flawless logic here...
