Normally I like the characters of the kids, but when Mal got all “what am I supposed to tell my children about this??” I literally rolled my eyes. Then again I thought it was weird that Grace was so hesitant and defensive to talk about vibrators to her roommate when Frankie noticed her sprained wrist at the beach…

Egg whites are very rich in protein, which are notoriously tough to clean. If you have meat tenderizer in your kitchen, sprinkle some of that on your damp bowl and let it sit. You could also (in theory) clean your bowl with contact lens solution, but considering how risky that is (you’d need to rinse out your dishes…

I attended private school that was run in Arabic.

What do you recommend for pie crusts made out of graham crackers or oreos? And what about the standard vegan pie crust made out of dates and walnuts?

I’m not the person you replied to but I wanted to note that I bear no ill will toward the author of this piece. She wasn’t hurting anybody by being conservative, certainly not actively hurting anyone. But there is an implicit privilege in being conservative (Rush Limbaugh was against drug rehabilitation until he…

To be fair, if you’re not changing planes, you’re much less likely to have lost luggage. Sometimes a carry on isn’t feasible, like if you’re going somewhere for more than a month and you have four dozen relatives and friends to pack gifts for.

I wish I could have been apolitical at 18.

You clearly have no idea what you’re talking about but since you have An Opinion you feel compelled to bug me about, I guess I’ll just end it.

In my original comment, the one you responded to, I said that I think it’s disturbing when straight men tell me they feel “kinkshamed” for being dominant. Then you responded by talking about consent, which is important I guess, but not really related to anything I said. Then I tried to clarify my comment, which led to…

Not really but whatever.

We live in a society where the biggest best selling novel was 50 Shades of Gray for a while. We live in a society where the same franchise sparked three books, movies, and a line of sex toys. The Story of O is practically treated as a classic novel. Let’s really not pretend that dominant men and submissive women is…

Thanks you’re the first person to respond and tell me that and definitely not the sixth. I was even starring everybody who responded, but now I’m really just tired of the whole thing. You think it was an ok lyric and I disagree. He should have thought about how it could be interpreted and he didn’t.

Shouldn’t that be, “from May to August”? Although pears are growing around here now, they won’t ripen until late summer, about 4-6 weeks before apples ripen. But that’s regional.

I have a genetic disorder. It’s autosomal dominant, meaning that there are no carriers; you either have it or you don’t. It’s 50% likely that I could pass it on to any offspring I have and either a girl or a boy is equally likely to get it.

My cat unrolls the toilet paper when it’s over, but not when it’s under. She only rolls it in the one direction.

This is still less disturbing than being told by a straight man that you are “shaming” his sexual desires because he has this super rare kink where he needs a woman to be subservient to him to get off.

I have heard of Danskos. I realize they’re supposed to be comfortable, but they are not. Every single pair I’ve bought has pinched my feet or was so big my feet slipped around inside the shoe.

I hadn’t thought of that. But this is the kind of ambiguity that could have been avoided by waiting a little longer than a month and four days to rap about Prince’s death (and as an aside) on a remix.

She was the only reason I watched that ABC show as long as I did, tbh. She brought it. Once the 90s nostalgia wore off for me, I was really disappointed that Huang’s autobiography had almost no voice in the show. I’m not East Asian, but as the child of Middle Eastern immigrants I really related to his story.
