I went out with a vegetarian friend last night and offered him some rice from my chirashi bowl. He was like “I hope you didn’t sneak any fish in there” and I was really upset that he said that considering 1. I’ve never done anything like that in my life and 2. Every time we go out to eat i’ve tried really hard to…

Actually, based on current evidence re: all the shootings: no, it doesn’t seem to bother people if they use guns.

You misheard me!

It’s not Handmade in USA; it’s “Hahnd Made in Oosa”

OMG I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE

Why 694? Is it to hit the 10 year mark for spousal support?

Dude....guys LOVE talking about their feelings. I’m saying this as a person who has dated a fair number of guys. A lot of them do not have any problems with this area at all. Which was even more apparent to me back when I was more feelings/discussion-averse.

This article makes me incredibly sad because, as a second generation Asian American, a lot of Asians don’t fight for anything at all. They still have that old school belief that staying silent and “putting up” with hardship will bring rewards, your long-suffering will go noticed, your sacrifices when you are passed…

Was it Freakonomics? I *think* that’s where I first read about it - saying how the bc pill should have been marketed as anti-cancer, and then explaining why (body isn’t meant to release an egg and have a period every month for X years)

Some people also spot and bleed during their pregnancies (which is weird!), which might further throw people off.

A lot of people have irregular menstruation though. Before the pill, mine was all over the place (gone for 3 months, come back, etc.). I'd think that with less than adequate nutrition and hard-living back in the day, even more people would be irregular.

When one of my best friends got married (to another one of my good friends), I had THE MOST mixed feelings that day. On one hand, after like 8 years of secrecy (interracial relationship), they could finally get married openly and the families were okay with that. On the other hand, I knew our friendship was pretty…

Ever since I found out that research studies have shown purring to reduce healing time of inflammation and broken things, every time my cat purrs I try to shove all my most recent problem bits (usually my feet, I get a lot of inflammation there) right next to him, trying to steal his purr magic. My cat thinks its…

I REMEMBER THAT!! I was like....really? REALLY??

Once I killed a cockroach* with my bare hand. The cockroach was in my armpit.

Yes. Sometimes, they do it just to be bitchy b/c they think you are a rando, and then when they find out who I am (actual friend or something) they get all apologetic “sorry for being a bitch earlier I didn’t know who you were”

Didn’t they shut that down with a petition or something?

That’s what I’m saying - no one ever asks “are there going to be enough good movies for this festival” period. Why is there an automatic assumption that women are there only by grace of diversity, and that seeking out women means there will be an automatic drop in quality? There are tons of shite entries from men…

The problem with the idea “Letting bad movies in b/c they were directed by women” is that it automatically assumes the mindset that there aren’t going to be enough good films directed by women.

That IS very helpful. Thank you!
