Brien is from O’Brien. It’s a fairly common name and its reduced form is prevalent. Why not take a vacation out of whatever shit hole you’ve lived in your whole life and see the world. Fucking Americans.

Hi. I’m part Ukrainian. We do not say “Russia is a great country,” we say “Russia is great country,” please get your grammar straight. ;)

Hmmm, I think society might actually be pretty good at this whole celebrating pregnant women thing.

Yeah, I was going to say. I lived in England for years, every black brit I met had the same dialect as any other British person in relation to their upbringing, and the generalization that the majority of black British people were raised in council flat housing/poverty is absolutely absurd and offensive.

Hell, I was perceived as redneck at my undergraduate institution, the student body of which primarily consisted of New Yorkers, because of my thick Midwestern accent

Counterpoint: follow-up video needed for women who have never birthed and thus are seen as old crones and not the “primordial beings” that fertile, young women are perceived to be.

Humble brags abound... also black brits have varied accents, so try again.

It’s still a generalization and whether it’s black actors or “most black Brits” you’re on a very slippery slope....

You are better than me. Patiently talking to someone who took the effort to swim across the pond just to call black folks ghetto... I’m still sitting here at the “most black brits” like -.-.

Yeah...no. Black Brits have varying accents, just like everybody else there.

Counterpoint: Tahini is the 4th most delicious nut paste/butter, behind peanut, hazelnut, and cashew. Not coincidentally, it, like the rest, is something I will eat with a spoon over the sink like an ashamed rat after my wife and kids are in bed.

I have just been feeling like garbage. My mental health is not good. I’m bored and lonely. I hate my job. Money is a problem. I feel like I am dealing with all the same problems I’ve been dealing with my whole life. Is it ever going to get better? Feeling pretty hopeless.

There are a few options for keeping the tie flat along the buttons of the shirt — the tie bar, the tie tack/pin, or the tie chain (egad, chains are gauche!) Usually the skinny end can be slid through the label in the back. I’ve gained weight over time, so some of my older, favorite ties (which fit just fine when I was…

Some people literally have no experience trying to get a minimum-wage job and having a hard time. They like to attack other people for being sheltered or naive.

Pity me! For I have been dumped.

I booked a trip to Florence and the Naples area in Italy! I’m so excited! I’ve never been. My husband is excited about the food, especially gelato, I am so excited about the art! I definitely plan to go to the Uffizi Gallery, and the Brancacci Chapel so I can prove what I’ve been saying since History of Western Art 1,…

Exactly. And I’m sorry you got hurt like that, that’s super shitty.

I had a similar experience, recently, as well. In fact, nearly exact. We weren’t at such a serious point, apparently, that he need let it be known that he was in another relationship. And I had to finally ask. It was humiliating, frustrating, and frankly a little heartbreaking. I liked him.

I just had a sort of similar situation as Gayle and I don’t get it! Not so much dating but banging....I met a guy off tinder (which I hate, but whatever it’s good for finding a hookup) and I’m just looking to get laid, preferably by the same person somewhat regularly but no relationship/dating stuff.
