No cash prize (it was a washer/dryer, which I remember because it was a dorm trip and we thought she was dumb to not take the cash instead), and it was in CA, CA residents

Is this based on anything besides that interview that keeps getting posted? (Why is one Price is Right winner’s word taken as gospel on this all the time? The winner in my group when I went didn’t have to pay a cent to get her stuff.)

There’s big difference between “mid-century modern” “open concept,” which still had defined kitchen, dining, living room spaces, just without doors between them, and today’s “open concept” which is just one big room that can be styled into a living/dining/kitchen. I am not too sure that the midcentury trend has…

Right? Is it “hearsay” if someone posted that they saw roaches in their room, or should they have to catch one and mail it to TripAdvisor first? I get that false reviews of any kind damage a company and could open the reviewing site up to defamation battles in court, but surprisingly (no. unsurprisingly. def not…

I quit birchbox in a fit of anger after one of the “products” they sent was a set of cardboard coasters. But I do miss the high-end skincare samples.

Seems like Trip Advisor could maybe put a little note on the hotel’s page that “Previous guests of this Hotel have reported assault, theft, or other crimes. TripAdvisor is unable to confirm the accuracy of these allegations.” rather than leaving people with no information at all, though

This is exactly the kind of data I was referring to, thank you. I am generally against the sex offender registry (or, generally, any other permanent punishment that doesn’t allow reconsideration over time), but just noticed a similarity between the “I know someone who is married to the girl he dated when she was...”…

Are there any actual numbers on how many registered sex offenders are child molesters vs. those who were in a questionable teenage relationship or had some other less serious offense (as the Congressman above describes)? It seem like those people are brought up every time anyone discusses the sex offender registry,…

Question: If a person chooses “they” as a pronoun, shouldn’t their verbs still be singular, not plural? As in, “They was bisexual, non-binary, and intersex.” They wasn’t multiple people.

I love how the original post dismisses The Good Place as “the dumb show before [Will and Grace]” then complains “is there nothing new in Hollywood?”

My younger brother (adopted, like me) was a crack baby and guess what? We still had to wait over 3 years to get him. Adopting isn’t easy.

I am adopted. I think it is a beautiful way to create a family. I also have two biological children of my own. Everyone’s reproductive choices are their own and are equally valid.

I don’t know what is “cancerous” rather than just obnoxious about the Supernatural fandom. I’d replace that with theMcElroy podcast fandom

Meh. I want to hate it, but, if I am honest, if it were a woman writing a show about how her ex married a princess I’d be excited about it. If he were completely out of left field (like he had no other credits to his name and was using this to break into Hollywood) it would be different, maybe.

But he BETTER not…

According to her wiki, her actual name starts with an A (but the internet is strangely silent as to what it is). Jedediah is such a bold choice for a stage name that I kind of respect it.

I think the joke was less about how they’re racist and more that they’re dumb but cute white girls - so, the stereotypical ASU student

Most of those links are about how ASU isn’t racist, though (someone posted fliers as a “joke,” they were immediately removed, it was taken very seriously by faculty and students alike; students planned to wear all black in the student section at the football game and issued specific guidelines when people pointed out…

Younger is in season 4 right now and is still excellent, though. Exception that proves the rule, I guess.

The only thing I hate about GLOW is that I can’t be every single wrestling persona from it for Halloween

I hate this whole conversation. The category of “fat” people extends well beyond the categories of “lazy and eats like shit” and “has a real medical issue” (and I’d argue that both of those categories are the vast minority of overweight people). It just takes an extra 100 calories or so a day to gain a pound a month.…
