I'm a grad student, and I made it VERY clear to all my grad school friends (and all my other friends too because we're ALL poor) that their presence at our wedding was gift enough.

Seconded. I mean, you do you when it comes to your wedding, but I'm still in grad school. If you want me to come, I will come and be happy AND bring a present....but don't expect me to pay for your expensive taste by default.

A pox on all people who think that the amount given at a wedding should match the 'per head' cost of that wedding. A massive pox.

Here you go !

My husband is an oil painter with an MFA and for some reason this has translated into him being surprisingly adept at understanding makeup. He's said before that pretty much every one of his guy friends and his brother go on and on about how much they like "the natural" look and then will use some girl wearing layers…

I've literally never eaten a Big Mac in my life, but her phrasing is BONKERS.

Fuck, I wanted those fancy circular dispensers as well, but ended up with the same shit you did. I've since gone off the pill. It was a huge relief to realise that I'm not actually a terrible, rage-filled human being, it was just that my birth control turned me into one. I'll be getting an IUD soon, so fingers crossed…

To be fair, most nurses who work the day shift want to face stab people. Kind of a hard study to control for, don't you think?

I agree. My point was more that the study didn't find anything particularly significant about the relationship between night shift work and breast cancer, other than that one may exist. The same could be said about any number of things - that a relationship may exist, but that we don't know how or why it exists. It's…

Yes. Curse capitalism. It's literally killing us.

Kind of funny that they used nurses for the study, who actually often have to work those shifts...

Ooh u good woman u not wear thing for reason book deal.

My boyfriend told me when we first started dating: "You know, I don't usually like it when girls wear a lot of makeup, but yours seems...different, somehow. I really like it."

Farmville was my gateway game. Candy crush is way worse though because I can play on my phone....

Well, just to be clear, I believe that human beings deserve basic respect no matter what they choose to eat. Your worth is not contingent on your willpower or your choice of snacks. And it's not like I've never eaten a pancake in my life.

See also: Candy Crush. I've talked to a few people about this too, it's not just me.

As a fairly fat person who 1) eats really poorly and 2) absolutely has trouble refusing delicious, delicious carbs, I feel really guilty for reinforcing the stereotype and making it harder for other fat people. And what makes it worse is you guys are the only ones who would give me the benefit of the doubt about my…

You can be addicted to anything. I've recently realized that I'm addicted to the internet.

I, for one, welcome our syrupy new overlords.

"flat fluffy dicks" is a bold image in my mind's eye.
