It'd be nice to be able to "roll over" a burner to a regular account. Mine is a burner but I've been here for two years commenting semi-regularly and wouldn't want to lose that comment history.

Yes. Clearly that's the real outrage here. That not enough concern was paid to how upsetting those GIFs would be to men.

Snopes didn't look into that article's claims at all - just presented it as "here is what one guy said about why it's so cheap."

I read an article about a test in which people were poured two glasses of wine from the exact same bottle, but told that one was an expensive wine with a fancy label and the other was a cheap wine.

The animosity everywhere was worse online than in actual parenting circles, but since I was a working mom (and having severe PPA that made me think that every other mom would be able to spot the "impostor"), I never really got any parent friends, so the internet was all I got. So basically I figured the "independence…

Dude. I might be a terrible mom, but I never got the parents who said they were so anxious leaving their kid alone at daycare when they went back to work. I had spent 8 weeks at home, mostly alone, with this tiny squalling nipple-chomping creature, I practically skipped out of the daycare center. Worried about the…

You sound like me! It was less "attachment parenting" and more "lazy parenting." That is, I wanted my hands free and didn't want to lug a car seat/carrier around (so wore him everywhere), I wanted to get as much sleep as possible (so co-slept until he weaned night feedings), and breastfeeding was cheapest and largely…

This. Simplicity. I don't have time in my life to drive to a gym every day. Put shoes on. Go run somewhere. Turn around. Run back. Take shoes off. Done!

I'm not sure I knew you'd had your baby. Congrats!

More flexibility of work schedules, more options to telecommute, less demand for employees to work 60+ hour weeks.

Thanks for getting it.

I feel the same way. If I'm in a group and we're sharing things, we split the check evenly. My feeling is that if you're close enough to go out with a group and split bottles of wine/appetizers, you're close enough to cover the $3-$5 that you might pay extra because someone's entree cost more than yours.

Annoy? No. But it can be complicated. If the server is organized, however, they should be fine.

I totally do that.

The bane of my existence was when there was a table of families, because all the kids would sit together, and then all the adults would sit on the other end of the tables. Then the parents would try to point out which of the identical-looking teenagers was on their check.

I remember knowing about sex when I was pretty young, as did my younger brother (~18months younger than me) because my friend down the street had an older brother and he and his friends liked to brag about how much more they knew than us (which at the time basically was just that sex was a thing). We were talking…

Yeah, I've basically been in long-term relationships since high school. Every guy I've dated, I've dated for years. Each time, I thought that guy was "the one," and obviously, it never worked out.

Oh, wow! Ortho TriCyclen made me crazy as well. Like, my high school boyfriend blames it for our breakup kind of crazy. I turned into a whole new person. A mood-swingy, hair-trigger-temper person.

I worked at a small restaurant where there were usually around 5 servers on a weekend night (each with 4 tables). If six parties walked in right after each other, guess what was going to happen? And yet some of the servers were still divas about it (as you so brilliantly put it).

The weirdest thing I had to deal with was when I was a hostess and a woman with her daughter came in, put their name on the waitlist, and then sat down at an open table to wait. Like, one of the tables that people were waiting in line for. No, she didn't think it was self-seat, she didn't think she was going to eat…
