I feel exactly this way. I was still covering her until embarrassingly recently. I'm going to stop now, but will keep insisting that I covered "Creep" on the ukulele first (because I did).

Plus, there are about a thousand things I would rather hear first, for example:

"You are incredibly stylish!"

"Your student debt has magically disappeared!"

"Congratulations on your Pulitzer!"

et cetera.

I'd been using the Jailbreak the Patriarchy Chrome extension, but forgot that it was on. It made this story even more bonkers, if you can imagine.

I'm pretty sure they didn't. It's been a while since they told me the story, but their hometowns are far enough apart and I specifically remember being surprised at Person A's intrepidness in leaving their state and coming all that way to a what is basically Mars without much meeting.

No, I don't think they'd seen each other face-to-face. It was a little crazy, but I met them about a year into their relationship and it seemed to be going swimmingly.

It's not! In my story, there's no "she" involved. :)

"Do people in these state legislatures just propose any kind of shit they want to without doing any research on it whatsoever?"

As someone who used to live Utah, I can say with certainty that that is EXACTLY how these types of state legislatures (the crazy ones) work.

In general, yes. I do know one very happy/very cute couple who met online and one of them moved across the country to be with the other and they're just great together. But! They met as bloggers writing about similar issues, not on a dating site.

I'm of a couple minds on this. Working under the assumption that this is not a false flag, my first thought was that she really married someone who was she was sexually incompatible with, and maybe she's letting it spill over into all the other aspects of her life.

It's fine if you want to be a sub, just like it's fine…

OMG WHY.

Honestly, I don't know what the confusion is. There is no excuse, Nobel Prize or no, for mistaking an American comedian with a hijab-wearing Pakistani teenager who is literally half her age. The only things they have in common are a heritage in roughly the same geographic region and a presence in the recent news…

You know what's funny? I am also white and have worked at a whole bevy of similar establishments (as a permanent employee, not a temp). I share your experiences, but also experienced the obverse effect: I couldn't tell the male WASPS over 50 apart, pretty much ever. (I was also a raging alcoholic at the time, which…

Was not into Swift (not a hater, just not a fan) until I heard that song on a beautiful lakeside drive on a sunny Sunday. Pretty sure my life changed right then.

This is EXACTLY how I imagined Serena's blog from Season 5.

Also, have you actually ever listened to a Gossip Girl voiceover? Like, really listened? It is all of this shit, all of the time.

"Poor little orphan Jenny, looks like she needs a Daddy Warbucks, but Daddy Warbucks don't grow on trees. At least on a tree that…

I definitely use "slammed" more than "in the weeds," but have used both interchangeably. Also, the always-understood "completely fucked."

My mom is a pediatrician who managed to teach me the word "labia" at a very young age because she has both a clinical mind and a wicked sense of humor.

I'm definitely all about your second paragraph. I, until very, very recently, worked at a vegan joint. I once had a table of four bros who:

I have never had a problem with talking to my kitchen with food that a guest had a legitimate complaint- including not liking it. But waiting and not saying a goddamned word until the bill comes, or worse, LEAVING A FUCKING NOTE NEXT TO A SHITTY TIP ON YOUR CREDIT CARD RECEIPT (in matters that have nothing to do with…
