Soffits. WHAT IS THE POINT? (i mean, okay if you’re trying to run some cheap electrical or plumbing in the kitchen and can’t afford to go into the drywall) My kitchen was “recently renovated” before we bought it and there are still fucking soffits which serve no damn purpose.

I have a giant red iron fire door I took when they remodeled my complex as my bathroom door. I had barn doors in my last apartment and I wasn’t terribly partial to having everyone in my apartment being able to hear every noise that happened in my bathroom

Yuuuuppp, this is what it would look like if I decorated an “upscale” hotel entirely out of my local Walmart

Honestly, I can’t say very much because it will immediately be clear who I am talking about in terms of the bullshit she pulled on people. But FYI she’s not a “genius” and she’s only mildly “intellectual” - whatever that means. She is a child of privilege with many of the right connects, and an indefatigable…

It’s kind of weird to me that everyone went straight for she’s-too-smart-for-him, I guess because she’s an MIT prof? I don’t know anything about her (except that her tweets are pretentious and stupid and make her seem pretty insufferable) but as an academic I can attest that I know plenty of useless idiots who have…

Thank you for articulating my thoughts more clearly. The “what ifs” seem so nebulous and difficult to define, much less pin down in a legal sense. How is this supposed to end? Studies have already proven the “bystander with a gun” myth a fallacy in the face of an assailant with an automatic weapon. I understand the…

Completely the other way around for me. That was the one ray of light in her dark story, that she has successfully compartmentalised the YouTube bullshit away from her own identity and reality. For a nine-year-old, that’s about the best perspective you can hope for. Once she’s a teenager, I expect she’ll understand…

This right here. It’s 2018. Reality TV has been around since COPS debuted 30+ years ago. Does this idiot really think everything he sees on TV is real time, all the time?

My lord, thanks for this. I have never understood the near-beatification of Diana. They had a crap arrangement they were both kind of forced into. They both had a crap marriage. They both cheated. Yet, somehow, he’s the only terrible one. Ugh.

Agreed. I mean, he was in love with one woman his whole life and now they’re together. Whereas he and Diana wete both miserable in that marriage and acted accordingly.

Yep, that was my thought. My parents have been divorced for over 20 years and still HATE each other, so despite the fact that I’m a grown ass, 30-something woman, they BOTH insisted on walking me down the aisle (even though I seem to walk around most days on my own just fine). I won in the end, though, because it…

Not sure where you were going with this, but Prince Philip is a member of the House of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg (who was born in Greece, but anyway), Queen Victoria’s husband and consort (and 1st cousin) Prince Albert was born into German aristocracy in Coburg, Germany, and the Windsor family has only…

And it was an arranged marriage in the first place and Charles already knew who he wanted to marry but the Palace wouldn’t let him? If anything, I think it’s kind of sweet that he was finally able to marry the love of his life.

To be fair, it feels like half my life is spent loading and unloading a dishwasher, so I’m on board

Also, like, that’s Harry’s dad. He probably loves him, regardless of his parent’s divorce. I know they’re royals and stiff upper lip and all that, but there’s solid evidence that Charles was a caring father in private.

She’d be upholding Hanover tradition, as that’s the house Victoria belonged to.

In high school I had terrible stomach pain and couldn’t stop vomiting. The male doctor in the ER INSISTED I needed to do a pelvic exam even though I said it did not feel like anything related to period pain multiple times. He insisted they couldn’t do any other tests until they’d done a pelvic exam. I was a virgin…

Loved this book...especially ridiculous that her mom hated her because she went into labor while trying to rescue her cheating dad from drowning in a swamp???

Yeah so I saw this guy once in undergrad. He made the exact comment about “tightness” to me and acted like my vagina suctioned his fingers. Shudder.

.............this is why, though mentally I understand male gynecologists overall are professional and not utter cretins, I like to go to female doctors. And this is also why, whenever I have gone to a male doctor in my excellent HMO, they’ve ALWAYS had a female chaperone in the room during the examination.
