Weirdly I have ONE of these. I moved into the house my Dad had lived in for a decade when he was moving out, and because I was getting a sweet deal on a place to live he left a lot of trinkets and stuff behind, including one single glass representation of a chicken in whose back you can place the murdered almost-baby…

I will 100% take that blow torch off your hands. I love creme brulee, and it’s easy to make, other than the sugar-browning part. If I had a blow torch I would make creme brulee a gallon at a time in my biggest ramekin.

I’ve been to Fargo a few times to visit family, and I can just say it is not cool at all. My biggest major complaint is that the fucking railroad goes right through the middle of town so that every 5 minute car trip takes 20 with the waiting you have to do both ways.

Right? Nothing makes me angrier than having to eat a bread-based product with a knife and fork.

I 100% agree - while I don’t miss a lot of things about Vanilla (waiting all evening to get a group together and in the same place to run a single dungeon), I miss actually seeing the world part of World of Warcraft. I think if they just returned the difficulty to the early levels that would make the game as good as…

My extensive experience after commenting on this same issue on Gawker has taught me a few things:

Laurel Hills High School uses the same cheap certificate paper to print its diplomas as I use to print continuing competence certificates for therapists.

When I was living in Sudan, I met a Finnish woman at the swimming pool. I thought that was weird (Finland being the opposite of Sudan in literally every way possible) so I asked what she was doing there, and she told me a hideous story about marrying a Sudanese man, who at the dissolution of their marriage kidnapped…

As a 6-foot-tall woman who learned how to drink in central Europe, I think I would piss myself to death before I could choke down enough Bud Light to even get me buzzed.

I’d rather drink water. It’s largely flavorless, but considering the taste of Miller/Bud/insert your shitty beer of choice here, flavorless would be a fucking relief.

I would never do this with my family (we don’t get along) but my 6 closest college friends and I have often fantasized about buying a compound where we each have our own cottages so that we can be as close and have as much access to each other as we did when we lived in student housing.

It’s a very western thing. In my time in Sudan, it was normal, nearly compulsory, for children to stay living with their parents until they were married. If they had been married and weren’t any longer, anyone who was not themselves old enough to be the matriarch or patriarch of the family moved back in with their…

“B-b-but a college degree is just a piece of paper! Many jobs shouldn’t require a degree, and surely the Presidency is one of them! BILL GATES!”

I couldn't say. I love me some yoga but Target's Champion line of work-out wear has served me well, so why you'd spend a hundred bucks on a single pair of stretchy pants is completely beyond me.

Exactly. Tip amazingly - that’s standard. But if they’ll accept the order for delivery, it’s not exactly my moral obligation to deny them my business, is it?

If you want advice, I will say that I’ve sent hand-written notes to my Congressman regarding important legislation, and I’ve always gotten a response back. For one thing, since most Congresspeople are older, it’s kind of “speaking their language.” For another, it’s a hell of a lot more gauche to let a letter go…

I was annoyed at the mistake when it showed up last week on Gawker (I’ve lived in Sudan, and while I have precisely nothing good to say about their government, the success of their vaccination program is DAMNED impressive, especially given that a full 1/3rd of the country is in various stages of revolution). I had no…

If you’re going to repost old content as new, a week later, with the same exact errors (in the fucking headline, yet) that have already been pointed out, then I suppose I can just repost my reply to the original article as well.

And, as is the general Gawker Media modus operandi when they fuck up, the staff have doubled-down on the obvious tone-deaf mistake:

This is also why the editorial staff gets no support from readers when they’re battling with the business half, because they’ve repeatedly proven themselves to be tone-deaf at best, and it seems like a good idea to have someone saving them from themselves. In other cases, you’d imagine that content-creators taking a…
