Is that really the border?? Oh I am SO checking it out when I'm next in the Netherlands. Just for shits and giggles.

Everytime you take a flight (at least) across international borders, they get you to fill out an immigration/landing /customs declaration card. If people bother to read it before filling it in, then yes, it's common knowledge. I've had to do it for every flight I've ever taken into another country.

I don't at all disagree with the fact that a family restaurant should definitely have better facilities. But that still doesn't at all excuse her endangering all other patrons in the restaurant, breaking a number of health codes, all because it was too inconvenient to walk out to her minivan - which she herself

Except when businesses do that then they're faced with angry parents who insist they're being discriminated against.
One's choice to have a child (something people have done for decades before the changing station was even invented) shouldn't result in entitlement. Just like my choice to take a master's degree

Really? When I had to change the diapers on the 3-4month old I was babysitting for a while a few years back, I actually had to take a deep breath lest I threw up everywhere. At one point I even had to run out of the room to take another quick deep breath (luckily she wasn't at the point when she could wriggle away)

So did I! Maybe some people are aware of their narcissism but I always thought the majority were delusional and completely unaware of their hypocrisy. I personally believe those are the worst, I'd much rather have a person who admits to being an asshole than one who believes he's the bee's knees while making everyone

OH, and he straight up wouldn't identify himself as narcissistic at all, because he's the best and societally, narcisissm is a bad thing (ironically, used to tell me that as a kid)- lots of ironies in our relationship when we had one showing his complete lack of self-awareness, which in my mind contradicts with this

Your mother sounds very similar to my father, with a shitload of misogyny thrown in. As a teen discovering my own sexuality, he'd stalk me when I went out drinking with friends. He once yelled at me for letting a boy talk frankly with me and punched me when he found out I'd lost my virginity. Nice man.
Years later I

This is why I love this site. I always thought I was the only person who hated my girls touching the skin where the underwire usually sits.

Haha it's like we're twins, the first thing I do when I get home is get naked, then throw on maybe a pair of comfy shorts and lounge around all day topless. The less clothes the better! Nudist beaches are my jam. My husband likes my aversion to clothes at home, not so much keen on joining me on aforementioned beaches

Commando for life!!! Yes!! apart from short dresses (so I don't accidentally flash someone, and I rarely, rarely wear those anyway) I go commando. It's made life so much easier, comfortable, plus I spend WAY less money.

I legitimately thought the OP was kidding, using the same manner in which we call our best girlfriends 'bitch' or 'skank'. Yikes, was I wrong.

I wish I had 90bucks lying around in my wallet at any given time of the day. I'm usually lucky if I have that much left at the end of the month.
Not meant to be a comment on this incident, just me sighing wistfully at my useless degree.

This, right here, is why I have always admired the Scandinavian countries' access to free education, and even grants for living expenses. I have quite a few friends from Finland and Sweden who graduate with Masters Degrees with minimal debt, and that helps so much when you want to enter the workforce because you're

I don't think he/she got it even after this reply. Oops.

'the brimming horde that populates the Third World'? Wow, don't try to hide your disdain for those leaving their countries for better lives elsewhere, send all the lazy bastarda back THEY TOOK OUR JERBS!

I feel you. I should be taking my Master's right now, but the thought of being stuck in a library researching more dusty old books for my thesis on something obscure in Literature makes me want to drink a bunch of wine and play Mario Brothers instead.

Hahaha I'm Singaporean, I still get those damn monthly magazines because I'm one of those university graduates they want to start breeding. The articles in there make me want to simultaneously vomit and laugh. Wish I hadn't thrown all of them away so I could post one here for everyone to laugh at.

Not to mention the phase in life during which people either choose to (or accidentally) have children.
There are way too many factors, this article really over-simplifies things.

I. Love. Your use of the Pokemon metaphor.
