This a guy who intimated she was interested based on the fact that she hadn't deleted her entire Facebook account to get away from him, so I'm thinking subtlety isn't his language.

this.

I can't get behind your snark here, Jez, I think this is fucking delightful. Now that I know these exist I have a new hobby.

My personal favourite was the $60 mismatched earrings.

If you like nail polish, I do Julep which is mostly awesome. They also make their own beauty stuff like makeup, nail treatments/manicure stuff, lotions and hair treatments - if you like that better there's a certain kind of box you can pick that's just that with no polish. I've gotten a few duds, but you can go look…

I feel like if you missed a weird 80s/90s movie the first time around then there's no going back. I was explaining Sleepless in Seattle to someone and eventually I was like "No, you know what, that shit is bananas. You would hate it. But I will love that movie until my dying breath."

Yeah I was going to say, it was a morning game so many schools were probably playing it. I don't know anyone who was at work and was NOT streaming it from CBC.

I don't understand what you mean by "when they lose". Is that a thing that happens?

I have flawed but normal parents and I am still like "bitch had it coming". I think if you're one of those "but it's your faaaaamiiily!" people you actually have a problem with both empathy and logical reasoning.

Eh, if you know the other person is scene-maker, that can help too. I broke up with my ex on a sidewalk because I did not want to be trapped in the house with him while he yelled/cried/whined at me. He wasn't abusive, just annoying. But dinner IS weird, why would I spent money sharing a last meal with someone I don't…

That bridge vandalism reminds me of a sign people hung from an overpass in my town a couple years ago that just said "You are loved." No church symbols, no website, just an adorable handmade sign. That made my day.

Looking at that swag I was thinking "Damn Goldman Sachs, can't you afford better swag?" Those mirrors are the type of OMG LOGO ITEMS sold by shucksters who fax you their catalogue unsolicited.

YES!!!!

It it weird that these remind me of Russian porn? It is weird that I can immediately recognize Russian porn? It's the shoes! No matter how classy the outfit, the shoes always look like a Skirt Warehouse purchase.

One of my friends' was almost exclusively memes, it was pretty hilarious.

Right? I just commented something to this effect - if people think women are not in all male or mostly male classes plenty of times throughout they lives, reality will come as a rude surprise.

Yes! Also, this is something that legit happens all the time to women in many disciplines; lots of times your science or engineering class will be mostly male. While I can certainly understand the discomfort of being The Only One of any group in a class, whining about needing special treatment because of it is crybaby…

I am Canadian! Seriously, Kobo discounts the shit out of back-catalogues. Have a look at Courtney Milan's old old stuff. It's a goldmine.

The Countess Conspiracy by Courtney Milan. It's a historical and the premise is that the heroine is a secret scientist and the hero has been presenting and taking credit for her work (with her permission, because Lady Scientist + Victorian Times = not taken seriously and/or ostracized).

My new thing is buying the severely discounted back-catalogue of someone I really like. So many $0.99 and $1.99 books to be had.
