I have that swimsuit! It’s super comfortable and flattering many sizes. Good on her for finding something she enjoys!

I’m going to echo what a number of people said below about the sex issue. Boners are as subject to brain issues as ladybits are. I know if my brain is worrying too much about anything, I can’t get my head in the game. Removing the pressure is important. And he’s putting a lot of the pressure on himself! If…

But he was just playing devil’s advocate! /s

So many people have herpes without knowing it. And it has so much stigma attached because it’s incurable (though treatable) that a lot of people just don’t talk about it. And I believe the rate of herpes in the general population is pretty high, 1 in 6 from what I read online, and many people are asymptomatic. As…

Thank you for saying this.

Well, Trump just ensured that Blumenthal will be our senator forever. Which I’m pretty okay with. I don’t agree with all of his positions, but he is great at standing up to bullshit.

I am a bit biased towards Spanish olive oil. My favorite is Senorio de Vizcantar, which I order online from Tienda.com. It isn’t crazy expensive, and the flavor is very full and just the right amount of sharp for my tastes. It works great as a dip, but isn’t so crazy strong that you can’t use it for cooking. It…

I know that the response is snarky sarcasm (as is right) but I can’t help but be serious - there were no people even working in their office who were women and in any way helped? No fact-checkers? No editors? No research assistants? Damnit WIRED!

Money. Money is what happened. I’m betting dollars to doughnuts that the coal companies in WV were very encouraging of his change of heart to the party that will let they keep getting away with the crap they keep getting away with.

Well, I got married because I fell in love with a foreigner and that was the only way for us to be together without me going completely broke. I wouldn’t have married him if we had been able to live together in the US without it. He knew right away, I was kind of “let’s see” and finally I decided it was worth it. …

One thing I appreciate about my husband and his Muslim friends - his friends never try to hug me. It’s great because I hate hugging people I’m not really close with. I always shake hands with male colleagues, but maybe it’s an Industrial Hygienist thing?

I feel like it would be hard to make a wrongful termination claim when your job is as ill-defined as “brand ambassador.” I mean, head of marketing is a thing, but I feel like “brand ambassador” is such a made up job that it can easily be argued that you were fired for not doing that made-up job. I feel badly that she…

If the whole point is to keep immigrants from “stealing” Americans’ jobs, wouldn’t ensuring that the immigrants coming have more skills and are more employable mean that those immigrants will more directly be competing with Americans for jobs? Many immigrants take low-skill jobs that Americans don’t want to do, so…

I remember having a pre-holiday party social at a hotel in Pittsburgh where the hotel windows overlooked the open-air atrium where the restaurant was. When we noticed a couple hanging out in their room naked, I wondered if they knew that we could all see them.

That’s fine. Monopoly is a trash game anyways.

Brandless (TM)? It hurts by brain. Also, non-advertised brands have always been sold by stores and a price lower than brand-name. This isn’t new.

I have been thinking about this for a while now, and I have come to realize that people seem to either believers or non-believers and it seems to be nature instead of nurture? I was raised going to church every Sunday (though UCC so a very liberal church) and I realized over time that I just didn’t believe in a…

“Muggle studies” always bugged the crap out of me. They couldn’t get someone who actually was a muggle to teach people about the non-wizarding world? They couldn’t actually talk to a person who had grown up a muggle to figure out how phones work? You couldn’t actually go into a muggle library and read some…

It’s pretty telling that the difference was apparently so substantial that even a “significant” increase of their salary still would not put them on par with their coworkers. It doesn’t really put CBS in very good light.

This is the moment that any of us who know people who are members of the NRA to call them to the mat. Do they defend this? If not, what are they going to do? Will they quit the organization? Will they actually contact the leadership and voice their disagreement? I had a friend who hunted and he was a member of…
