I had a roommate for awhile who was either an MRA or Incel or someone who subscribed to that sort of stuff. He seemed alright at first, mostly stayed in his room and cleaned up after himself, but things went south quick. He talked about how hard it was to get a girlfriend, which, you know, dating can be rough. But…

Man, I’ve known those “take those bad ideas and just RUN with them” types, but this was the winner.

This is the pissing contest I’ve been waiting for!

We both work from home anyway, so we’re accustomed to being together all day every day. The unfortunate fact that we live in Alabama is somewhat mitigated by the fact that non-wealthy people can actually afford a three-bedroom house here. BR2 is his kiddo, who’s only here about 3 days a week, BR3 is my office / Craft…

I’m totally doxxing myself with this story but whatever. My worst roommate inspired an episode of Law and Order SVU. She was assigned to me my freshman year of college based on some questionnaire we had to fill out during the summer. To this day I am disturbed that some computer algorithm though we would be a good…

First roommate in college. He was extremely weird but in a mostly harmless way (slept in his shoes, talked to himself (a lot), would bring home reams upon reams of papers he printed at the campus computer lab and they were all just transcripts of Xena: Warrior Princess and The Adventures of Hercules episodes, etc.).…

Valid point, but maybe if the pro-choice crowd, including Hollywood who profited from her story, had given a damn about her welfare after the gavel fell, maybe she wouldn't have been so easy to bribe.

Staying where she was seems like the most responsible thing she could have done at the time. If you’re not sick and not planning to leave your residence — ie not draining local resources/potentially infecting others  — what’s the issue here? 

Yeah, I definitely think eschewing traveling at this time is the more responsible thing to do, even if you DO end up overstaying your vacation time in a tropical paradise you can afford, you villainess. /s

Totally a can’t win situation.  If she posts pics then she’s bragging.  If she doesn’t it’s because she’s hiding in shame!

Almost nobody is vegan out of an intention to religiously avoid every single particle of anything that might have once been a moving creature. Most people who are vegan for ethical reasons are that simply to avoid contributing to the suffering of mammals that appear to have the same capacity to experience suffering as…

Best part of the Buzzfeed story is she was unwilling to eat the strawberries after the larva came out.

Chicago Jew here and, uh, the cRc is off it’s fucking rocker if they’re actually recommending that. If that’s entirely necessary to be able to call a strawberry kosher than no one that keeps kosher should eat strawberries. You should never wash fruit (berries or otherwise) in soap - unlike the plates that you wash…

It’s worth noting that NOBODY is vegan.

Perhaps Kelly was trying to not be a dick by posting a bunch of beach photos? 

I much prefer Kelly Ripa staying put on vacation to all the non-celebrities I know who are taking weekend trips or left NYC and other hotspots right in the middle of this, during shelter in place orders, to go to their parents’ homes or rural air bnbs or whatever. The more we travel the more we put others at risk. Why…

I’m no fan of Kelly Ripa. By any stretch of the imagination.

If Kelly Ripa was already in the Caribbean with her family, had been isolated long enough to know that they weren’t infected, and has practiced safe measures while down there, I can’t say that I blame her for not boarding a plane and returning to the COVID epicenter when all hell broke loose. Understandably, this is…

I’m so bored of quarantine shamers. Is she rich and privileged? Yes. Did she shelter in place? Also yes. Did she contribute to the overtaxation of the local health system? Arguably no if they were in a tourist town and followed social distancing guidelines. I’m.... not outraged. 

Re Kelly Ripa: Neil Gaiman is currently being shat upon for having decided to fly back home to Britain from New Zealand where he’d been sheltering in place after having problems with his wife. Damned if you do and damned if you don’t.
