I'm actually allergic to peppers - as in, I'll break out in a rash if I touch the insides of one / marinated peppers and will break out if I eat them - and it's fucking frustrating when people assume that I'm just some kind of wuss who hates spicy things.

I went to school with a girl for whom mild salsa was too spicy, so she would cut mild salsa with ketchup if she wanted to put salsa on something. She's kind of become my default example story, "ok, when you say you can't handle spicy, would you have to mix mild salsa with ketchup?" If you want feel free to borrow the…

I have the same problem. We've figured out it's the capsaicin in hot peppers, particularly fresh. I turn red, I get headaches, my mouth goes numb and painful at the same time from anything more than mild spiciness. And oh, if I actually eat any of it, oh my intestinal system. Noooo. So while it's not an allergy in the…

My mother-in-law is EXTREMELY sensitive to any sort of hot spice; everything from peppercorns, to cayenne. Any trace of any of it in her food makes her dining experience terribly unpleasant, so even though she isn't allergic, she has found that the only way to keep it out of her food at a restaurant is to SAY she is…

Those prosthetics must have cost a... Dammit I can't do it.

It was a package theft; she didn't leave them outside.

I think they were left on the porch by a delivery person. It's not like Karen left them outside with her shoes! I wondered about that too.

You must be fun at parties.

Jesus Christ calm down.

Is it taxidermy? I thought they were ceramic.

All of this. I might, MIGHT, have been able to get on board with the finales twist if they hadn't made the mother character so wonderful. But what was the point of introducing us to such a terrific woman, if they were just going to turn it all around at the end and have him get back into a toxic relationship with the…

I don't mind messy, but I just never ever saw Robin and Ted as being good together, and I liked her and Barney. I hated that the ending invalidated years of character development and shared growth.

Gymnasts and rock climbers have done best on the American version of the show. Luci Romberg (gymnast) did quite well on the course in the third season (and Sasuke, twice!), and she went out of the jumping spider as well. Parkour enthusiasts were big in the first few seasons, and while their agility was a bonus most…

The best male competitors typically have gymnast experience or do a lot of work on the bars, working on flexibility.

Yes! That's what I keep saying, too! You have to be strong, but agility is a very important component.

I feel like it's unfair that they didn't adjust for her height on this obstacle. Every other obstacle has been a stretch, but within the realm of possibility. A part of me wonders if they do it on purpose because female gymnasts would just be able to murder the course on a regular basis and make all those big strong…

Nice! I used to work for an affiliated organization and it was amazing how many people would call and say something like "this isn't that serious and I maybe shouldn't be taking up your time but..." And I was like, "you called! Yay you! I'm here, talk to me and you deserve help."

You may be off the internet (and don't scroll down to read dare's comments because they're awful), but I wanted to say you can definitely call 1-800-656-HOPE to connect to RAINN. I know a lot of people think that's only for "serious" stuff (i.e. physical, bruise-causing violence), but this IS sexual violence and you…

Violating women is what gets them off. Consent is not what these slime turds enjoy. They are pigs. Loathsome, worthless pigs.
