Yeah I was laid up (of sorts) with a sinus infection due to a poorly draining cavity that required surgery for the better part of 2 years. Doctors advice was to just double the daily dosing instructions on the bottle of over the counter ibuprofen, rather than write a script. I go back to that any time I’m in enough…

Ok, sure. It almost certainly achieved no real and lasting change for anyone in the oppressed Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (*snort*), but, this having happened is certainly better than a world where it didn’t happen. At least symbolically. I mean, at least a tiny little bit.

*trigger warning for those sensitive to fat shaming, or in this case a shameful fat person*

Well I’ll be damned. Your choice of phrasing might be the best thing I’ve read on the internet all day.

What the hell is wrong with banana peppers? And do you even know how pickled jalapenos work?

Oh I’ve traveled some. India, Europe (well Spain and Italy), Central America.

Google Wars of Stuffed Capsicum vs Stuffed Pepper indicates the later is 10x more popular so while it was peculiar of me to point it out, I think the point does stand on its own and isn’t the byproduct of xenophobia.

I’m not going to presume my experience is universal in the slightest, but I have never encountered anyone anywhere who calls it a capsicum. (we’re talking bell peppers, right?)

I don’t even know why they are keeping all these books. As a formula fed child, will they even learn to read?

So, just checking. Am I to be assuming the models in the video are put forward as “fat”?

Not even a muffin top in sight here.

I pay $145 for two lines and a shared data pool of 12GB. (Rogers)

...so it isn’t quite as bad as you paint it out to be. But I did have to watch for promotions and it took 3 or 4 plan changes over 2 years to get here.

I realize the US has better/cheaper Internet than us north of the 49th parallel, but I just checked my LTE handset (iPhone 6) and I get 23 Mbps down and 13 Mbps up. This is better than my home connection.

Even if you have a much better home connection than I do, these are not speeds anyone but a very special edge case…

There are two things that anchored Princess Leia deep in my subconcious:

Sometimes, and for years now, I question the choices of story selected for Jezebel as they seem to perpetuate issues, stereotypes, or cultural tropes that harm women in the long run. (See: anything Kardashian. The correct response for anything Kardashian is to ignore it. Its the pop culture take on "don't feed the…

Keep hoping. SimTower was only published by Maxis, not developed by them.

I have seen this claimed as fact in other articles about this subject.

Definitely not true in my 2003 Mazda Protege 5, which has no indication whatsoever as to where to find the filler port.

Two questions:

On my Facebook a self-described victim of abuse described her experiences with her abuser, a sibling, as pretty much on the same level of what was written about in the book, although in this case they were closer in age (although both still well under 10).

I only recently started listening to the podcast, and since I'm Canadian with limited exposure to live NPR had no idea it was old episodes of a program no longer on the air.

You sailed right past my point - which is ambitious, and has flaws of its very own - into a taxonomy debate that has no purpose and no winners. (example: you also get a baby in an adoption, it is also not giving birth).

Failure being something shameful is a byproduct of our over-celebritized and money-focused culture.
