Last week to work I wore a shirt with a native chief on it and my friend got pissed off saying it's cultural appropriation. My reply was that I am part native, a whole side of my family is native, I happen to be a 1/4 with a status card. I also have many handmade native ceramic pieces around my house. Now my question is, is this considered to be cultural appropriation? I'm part native, I didn't wear a headdress or a symbol/clothing item that you have to earn, I just loved the shirt and love my native side.
People sure do love to get offended on behalf of others, don't they? You have more right to wear it than your friend does to be offended by it. Tell your friend where to stick it.

So I'm going to be moving back to NC to finish college and I was just thinking last night about renting a house. I'll be 22 when I get there next year and I already have an apartment complex that I've decided on but then I was thinking about renting a house. Approx. $900 a month. Nothing too big. But I can't make up my mind.
So what do you guys think are the pros and cons of renting a house or getting an apartment?
Renting a house costs more than the cost of rent, more so than an apartment ever has for me. In an apartment you are more likely to have shared cost of bills, or have them included in the cost of rent, when it comes to water, sewer, possibly cable. In a house you're typically responsible for the full cost of all these things. It can also be tougher to put all the utilities in your name for a house, especially if your credit is less than stellar. The main benefit I can say for a house is having a yard. If you don't have pets, that may not be enough to warrant the difference in cost. That also means you have to maintain the yard.
I think for a college student, especially if you're single, an apartment is the way to go.

She dresses like a freak, does stupid things, sticks her tongue out like an idiot, appears naked in her music videos, and literally only sings one song these days. WTF? She used to be my role model, but now I hate that stupid bitch. I know Ariana Grande defended her, but she defends everybody. What my friends say about Mileys “wrecking ball" is,“good song, bad singer" what is wrong with her?

The weirder, the better. If you're talking about her, it spreads like wildfire and stays in the consciousness of people. Controversy creates cash. If she stayed straight-laced and innocent, would she be such a hot topic?

Okay, so I took eight 500mg Tylenol &' I'm afraid something is going to happen. The reason that I did this was because I really wanna get high &' I have no weed ... So that is what I did now I'm afraid. Please tell me what to do!! Also, is there another way to get high? Oh, I'm 15 &' weigh 103 lbs. I'm a girl. Thanks.
There are many ways to get high. None of them are a good idea for a young person's developing mind. Imagine a baby tree growing in your yard that you walk past and kick as hard as you can every day. Think that tree will grow up straight? At any rate, in the immediate present, you may have done some intestinal or kidney damage. You need a doctor. Take the chance of punishment, admit what you did, and see a doctor. It's a smaller price to pay than say, death.

He keeps mentioning the devil and stuff and it's scary. He told me to make a deal with the devil and I just got creeped out... I don't really want to talk to him about it because I might just stop talking to him overall. Should I?
He's doing it to seem dark and mysterious. He'll tell you that he draws a pentagram in blood at home, lights some candles, and talks to Beelzebub. In reality, he plays Grand Theft Auto, jerks off, and cries a lot. He'll grow out of it.

Ok this is a random question but what's your favorite soda to drink?

Recently I purchased a used xbox 360 from a pawn shop. Everything went nicely until I went to send a chat invite to a friend. It required a parental password or something like that. Considering I bought this from a pawn shop, I am unable to contact the previous owner and get the code. Is there a way to remove this code from the xbox? Or am I doomed to just get a different one without a code? If you have any advice on how to remove it etc that would be wonderful. Thanks for your time.

Looks like there's a way around it after all.

From august 2010-2011 and 2011-2012 I lived in an apartment complex that I had many complaints about, the only reason my roommates and I stayed a second year was because of how conventionally located it was to campus.
Within the past two years we were charged for our smoke alarms being "tampered with" and charged even though we denied and explained we had just moved in and nothing was done, they didn't take the fee off.
All our appliances would break and take forever for them to fix it.
The apartment locks were always broken and any key could open any person's apartment if you just jiggled it the right way.
Over all it was a terrible place and we wanted to sue for all the stuff we had to deal with but none of us could find the right 'legal' reasons to do so....
During the 2 years we went through 4 sets of different managers because everyone kept getting fired but before that promising things that wouldn't get fixed.
Point is... it was just in the news that the city has finally discovered what this apartment complex really is :a piece of you know what.
And has found over 100 violations against them in terms of health and safety violations.
I am wondering if NOW, finally that there has been light shone on the situation, now that the evidence is finally out there and the many violations...is there anyway I can sue? or get reimbursed?
I mean,there probably isn't, but I'm just curious because we lived there and brought up to the current manager our concerns about safety (someone through a works bomb on our porch and management did absolutely nothing)...
Is there anything I can file to get some re-reimbursement? It was a A LOT of money to pay for such terrible conditions.
If there is nothing I can do -- please just say so, I'm not asking for a rude reply or somoene saying I'm dumb.
Clearly, you weren't the only ones wronged. Do you still have contact with former tenants? It may be best to band together and try for a class-action lawsuit. The complex is going to have a very hard time defending against claims from multiple tenants.

I feel like my vagina is ugly.
when my legs are together my inner labia sticks out of my vagina lips, is that abnormal ? why does it do that ? how do i make it go away ?
All vaginas are ugly. It's true. Why else would most strip clubs focus on topless women and not bother with full nudity? Men want to see the backside of the bottom half, but the crotch is a little scary.
Besides, sounds like that makes your clit easier to find, which will help many a clueless boy.
