I mean... if you’re a person who believes the supernatural is complete fiction, that there are no such things as ghosts, spirits, whatever, then this is definitively a fiction contest with the exception of the creepy roommate and true life trauma stories.

I hear wind chimes.

I have gotten some *killer* mid-century modern furniture from thrift stores and Craigslist, including couches, and the trick is: be down to reupholster. Yes, it costs money on par with a new (but cheap) couch, but it eliminates any residual yuckiness and instantly fixes most perceived problems. Most thrift stores…

Upgrade is SUPER fun but (and I was genuinely pretty sad about this) not even a quarter as clever as it thinks it is. 

I am going to let you in on a secret, a secret about women: we are people, and people are multi-faceted. A person can even be important and—dare I say—grown up and still like silly and shallow* things. I’ll use myself as an example:

I have never seen this dude in motion before but now that I see it, and hear it, yeah... I get it. Plus, besides the big dick energy, there’s something about how he moves his mouth that seems vaguely indicative of, well, mouth-related talent.

Just because something is funny/silly/farcical, does that make it immersion-breaking? I’m coming from the perspective of someone familiar with the Marvel movies and the Norse myths, but not the comics in between, and I feel like Ragnorak really got the vibe of the mythology right. Thor’s character—the ancient…

It’s a good name!

There are other reasons, actually — when I wrote ‘I’m a designer’ I meant I’m a brand designer for the wine/spirits/beer industries with over a decade of experience doing things like selecting bottle closures — but yes, those are the main reasons.

I like flip-flops. On myself. On anyone. I like them ideally to be nice — leather is good, canvas is good, but even crappy Old Navy ones are okay, peeking out from beneath jeans. They add a nice, casual vibe.

You’d probably do well drinking that bottle in the next year or so, even though depending on your tastes, it could hold on longer. It’s not a super ageable Cab, but it’s probably very good right now.

Personally, I like corks for design reasons — I’m a designer — but just so you know, cork vs. screwcap doesn’t indicate wine quality, or even change packaging costs (depending on a wide variety of factors) for the winery. In fact, cork taint is a real thing that can happen only to wines using natural corks, so in some…

Heads up, your link is set up incorrectly.

I’ll let you in on something everyone else is instinctually getting but you’re not: you don’t know who Janelle Monae is, or why she’s famous, because you are a racist who only pays attention to white performers.

Did you actually watch 13 Hours? Which part, do you think, was Fuck yeah America? Because honestly, I avoided that movie due to statements like the one you’re making, and then when I finally saw it I felt like... that vibe just wasn’t there.

The joke, I assume, is that Keanu’s character is an asshole. The trope of a woman falling for an ass despite himself in the romance genre is strong... goes all the way back to Brontë. (Though this movie tries to make Winona an asshole too, sounds like?)

This is one of many huge oversights of our “justice” system in the U.S.

Not the venue itself in this case, obviously. Aretha Franklin wasn’t Catholic, the funeral wasn’t at the Vatican, and you are seriously reaching because...?

“It’s not appropriate to wear upper thigh length dresses to church.”

Compression socks and such are real, not pseudoscience. There’s a reason that people are made to wear compression garments after some surgeries, while pregnant, etc.
