ETA: I don’t really have an opinion on this story, but felt like chiming in with my own experience. Take from it what you want.

Goddamn. I don’t even have a dog in this fight, but this comment is a thing of beauty.

Fair enough. Consider it done.

There was a pretty famous tumblr post from a while back that went:

This, so much. Pain treatment in medicine and the greater cultural response to pain is a fucking joke.

Happy Ramadan, Ramadan Kareem, Ramadan Mubarak. There are others but I think those are the easiest ones to remember if you don’t speak Arabic or are actively Muslim.

I’ve never gotten mother’s or father’s day presents for anyone except my parents, but we are immigrants from a part of the world where mother’s day isn’t celebrated. It has kind of blown up in my family the longer we’ve lived in the US.

That’s what made me feel weird about it too. They’re relatively young though, in their mid 20s, so I figured this would be a one time thing. Next year (eta: if this is even an issue) I’ll just quietly bow out.

I don’t have a reason to ask beyond nosiness. My sister-in-law was 6 months pregnant with her first this mother’s day and she expected a celebration of her first mother’s day, so my family got her and my brother mother’s/father’s day presents, and I thought that was maybe weird, but didn’t want to ask mutual…

Out of curiosity, did your partner get you anything for mother’s day?

The first four words of your post make me nauseous. Well done.

I’d say fountain square is Cincinnati’s most distinctive landmark but if I were being honest, the most instagrammed photo in Cincinnati is probably a picture of some half eaten food or something.

I still remember her really bizarre interview with Stephen Colbert several years ago. Right after I saw it, I googled her to see if she was doing a bit on his show. Turns out that, no, she’s just like that. That’s not a negative, though, because her interviews are always entertaining, which to me is the entire point…

Yeah at this point in my life, I would only use botox if my face started spasming or I developed insane amounts of sweating. I think botox will be one of those things that people look back on in horror, like lead face powder or whale bone corsets.

Wow, you can count to 22. That makes you a genius by racist standards.

Well, it’s nice that you have self awareness about your drivel writing. I accept your apology.

Coupons don’t really help with the type of food I buy, but if they did I would definitely use them. A produce-heavy grocery cart doesn’t last as long and is more expensive. I supplement with frozen veggies but most veggies just aren’t as good frozen (ahem, green peppers, which were like $3 each this winter for some…

Of course they’d go with a Simpsons reference.

Of course I don’t use my phone at any of those events. You’re just being deliberately obtuse because you are wrong and respond to that, like most denizens of the internet, by digging in and constructing strawmen. Go back to bitching on the internet about how ~rude~ everyone else is except you, ever.

So now your sad tactics include making fun of people who have allergies.
