Where is the study about parenting for people who alternately refer to their cat as their "boyfriend/husband" but also "baby"

man, that's my pet peeve - people will look at a cat's "pooch" and say it's fat, even though completely healthy cats may have a swinging belly. It has nothing to do with fat. Obesity in a cat is determine by looking at the "top" view as well as the "side" view

my school got so mad when the boys would do it! As a kid, I always thought the shirt-kini looked fetching on them too

my friend from Spain basically gave me the same talk - you Americans want to be so "independent," but you are dependent on someone from the day you are born til the day you die! I needed to hear that; it let me start becoming okay with asking for help from people, and of course, life got easier once I did.

for me - I wouldn't mind doing it (in a perfect world), but in my imperfect life right now I want/need the guy to make the first move. Growing up, I was the eldest of 4 kids and my parents were the kind of parents who couldn't parent and then took it out on me when I couldn't parent their kids perfectly. So I had to…

even though I am smack dab in the middle of millennial-age, I don't carry my phone on me everywhere (especially at work). I don't doubt it does a good job, but it only records 1/3 of my day (and I'm definitely not carrying it on the treadmill or when I'm out exercising with my friend at the park).

I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT SOMEONE ELSE HAD THE EXACT SAME THOUGHT I DID

Sadly, yeah, it's a thing. I hear it A LOT.

there is a 24 hour bookstore! (Or, at least very long hours) I believe it's in Taiwan and part of a chain (Eslite). I went to the non-24 hour location, which is in an old beer factory.

OMG, OMG, this is like the exact same story of my friend, except he is male and fell in love with a girl in Canada (and he's from Texas, they met online through gaming, etc). He also lied to his parents (in a very elaborate web!) to get the chance to finally go meet her, and he did.

okay so...

In the words of Tracy Jordan: Superman does good. You're doing well.

...I'm so confused as to what he thought was going to happen. "Here's something that LOOKS like money, so it's got to be THE SAME AS money!"

man, I know this is supposed to be endearing, but all I could keep thinking was

wait wait wait people actually DO this?!

this guy is high as SHIT

the image of a "queue" of people lining up for the purpose of punching someone is so precious and so, so wonderfully British

I had tampon problems too! And also once I was at the gyno for a colposcopy and it really hurt (all gyno visits for me kinda hurt) and the gyno was like stop gripping the bed so hard and I said "it really hurts" and she goes "no it doesn't"

I want to be this woman when I grow up

I totally agree with Mindy Lahiri (Kaling) - best friend isn't a person, it's a tier.
