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.

Ripley is the reason I became a feminist, without even truly knowing I was since I didn't know what the meaning of the word was, at the age of 6. I just was at a panel with the entire Aliens cast for Calgary's Comic Expo, and Weaver and Henn were talking about how the movie was so ahead of its time for women and I

My childhood fantasies of him have doubled after reading this comment.

Your grandmother sounds lovely, not being from Singapore and yet being such a great tour guide speaks volumes of a person. Is she unable to get a Singaporean citizenship or PR at least? That's horrible. Man, I don't agree with many of the immigration policies of Singapore. She sounds like someone SG should treasure. I

Malaysian food and Singaporean food have minor differences, but no, not significantly so. They cut up their prata and call it something else, we have them in whole pieces - stuff like that, haha.

Thank you!!!

I am by no means saying Singapore is the best country or anything, but I find a lot of foreigners come to Asia expecting this while 'rough and tumble' scene, like some mecca for self-reflection, amongst the romanticised Asians living 'off the land' and then they see Singapore and think we're boring for not

See, that's what I mean. Most of us who grew up there consider Lau Pa Sat overrated overpriced and really touristy. It used to be amazing! Like, a decade ago. Nowadays it's more catered to the expats and tourists. Over the last 5-7 years literally the only times any of my friends and I have been there is to bring our

You can't have seen the real side of Singapore then! We do have amazing things. I yearn for the hawker centres on a daily basis, for one. It's the expat's life that's sterile there, whenever my friends from overseas visited I always brought them to local haunts. Obviously all this is in line with the government's need
