Hedging can be a positive trait, and I’m only saying this because I work with some people who don’t use it at all, ever, and they are incredibly stressful people to work with.

See, this type of qualifying language has its place in the world, especially in the workplace, and I’ve learned this as a result of dealing with people who don’t use any. At All.

I think part of the problem, is that, besides the tax bill, sorting out what happens to his estate is going to be really expensive - it’ll be the work of months and months, which could have been avoided if he’d arranged it beforehand - Minnesota has to execute the thing, and it’s not going to be a simple matter. I…

When I was a student in my final year, my friends and I rented a house off campus, that the owner decided to sell herself, and it was a disaster. She quite often forgot to give us notice (or if she did, it was the night before a 9AM showing), which resulted in potential buyers walking into the disaster that is the…

I’m sorry, but you HAVE to bring your ring in every 6 months so they can make sure they didn’t eff up their stone settings? And then, if you don’t particpate in this chore, They’ll pretend you voided your lifetime warranty? No thanks.

Just based on my experience when I was a kid enrolled in every kind of ballet, the range of colours and styles that shoes came in tended to get bigger when you were up to actual adult sizes, and also yeah, pointe shoes (which most of the older dances are wearing) are hella expensive.

It’s been a couple of years since I bought them, but I believe the brand is Champion (they are supposedly “reversable”) . They definitely keep everything pretty strapped down. I wouldn’t classify them as the most comfortable sports bra I’ve ever owned, but your boobs won’t go anywhere so yay?

I’ve got a sports bra from there that is slightly less good than the one I bought at Winners for $20 two weeks later, but slightly more comfortable than the ones I got at Costco in packages of 2 for 14.99, and I wear a 32 DDD. Moral of the story is apparently to go to Winners for your sports bras.

Are you sure Cruz qualifies as “People?” because that would for sure explain it.

People generally rebel on liquid focused diets - there’s something about solid food that humans just psychologically need. When they were trying to figure out what to feed astronauts back in the 60's, they tested out a variety of diets on army and navy volunteers, including an all shake based diet. Most of the tests…

My co-worker invited me to her 1 YO’s birthday, and I am a childless young person. There was like a 6 to 1 adults to children ratio, pulled pork and beer. I think when they are that little it’s more for the adults anyway, since the poor kid looked like he’d rather be taking a nap.

Yeah, and I did a little happy dance when they showed up too. I’m dying to read the sequel to Burn for me... despite that it has an even more horrifyingly porntastic title than the first one. (The second one is gonna be White Hot. WHY? WHY WITH THE SHIRTLESS DUDES? Don’t get me wrong, I don’t object to sexy - cover…

If you are going to recommend Ilona Andrews and Romance, they have a 4 book scifi fantasy romance series - The Edge series - that I would highly recommend. It follows more of a traditional romance format too, where each book has their own protagonist, and each book is the complete story arc for that protagonist. First…

WHO ARE ALL THESE PEOPLE WHO WERE TRYING TO TALK TO ME? Did I get on a list? Because there are 4 from rando guys who apparently want me to tell them about Canada because they want to move there (apparently).

The scene does serve its place in the story - I don’t think anyone who watches the show believed for one second that Ramsay would treat Sansa with kindness and consideration. This was always going to be a traumatic thing that happens to Sansa and Theon. But it was shot to highlight Theon’s trauma. We get every single…

The part that ruined any catharsis of the film, for me is the entire premise of Ava’s construction, as revealed by Nathan. Because Nathan didn’t go out to create a woman he could control with Ava, he decided to create what he felt was a “realistic” woman, who could fool an outside observer. BUT - she wasn’t set loose…

Seconded. It was very pretty, but I was left disappointed . It’s the same old story, and Star Trek did it better in 1969. It didn’t have anything interesting to say about AI, or the relationship AI has with humans. It didn’t even present an interesting Asimov style quandry. It was (spoilers:

The texture! The flavor! Just 100% No across the board.

I agree - although this probably isn’t going to result in a lot of harm to the white acting population, I think it sets a bad precedent to let anyone put up (essentially) a job posting that filters people by race from the get go - and I don’t think you really need to. They can hire anyone they want, for any reason…

Where I live, $800 a month would get you a 1 bedroom basement apartment, or a teardown in a shit neighborhood. Possibly you could get a decent 1 bed condo at the edge of town (~ 1 - 1.5 hours commute)
