They are also ok in my book. The olives and pickles are also acceptable because they're designed to sit in their own fluids for long periods of time. The juices are actually integral to how they taste.

Raised differently?? Fine. But to imply my parents didn’t respect me or were “asshole tyrants” is a dickhead thing to say. If Shoe just wanted to point out that he/she was raised differently, then he/she could have just said that. It was a condescending, and yes asshole, response.

I can’t help but feel that these are parents who have their kids in 9,000 other “social obligations,” so I sideye pretty hard that they couldn’t find two hours to be nice to a girl.

You don’t have kids, do you?

Well aren’t you a special little snowflake??!!

Well, your own parental upbringing looks to have been absolutely stellar.

Um. What? I went to public school and. Have impeccable manners, had lots of friends who were always kind to one another and all went out of our way (as did 90% of my class) to welcome new or “outsider” students. And I know like ten people who went to private schools. One of them is amazing and my best friend. The rest…

You are an idiot. Your reading comprehension sucks dicks. Troll. People home school and believe in charters because public schools are full of entitled dickheads allowed to grow without any actual parental upbringing. Let the teevee and the teachers raise the kids. POS

Yeah, that’s all I’ve got too. That’s not someone who can be reasoned with. So much “othering” to justify their own choices.

You’re one of those parents of the year, aren’t you?

OMG, same here! Sometimes I want to just get down and kiss the ground out of gratitude that social media wasn't a thing yet when I was a young gummy teenage wannabe with low self-esteem and boundary issues.

Yet again, I am so thankful that my teenaged years went by largely undocumented. No Twitter. No Facebook. No interviews. If you could find the notebook I passed back and forth with my best friend from grade 10-12, though, you would find some tragic comic disqualification for coexisting in the human race.

Can't you people be content with 'murican food like burritos and pad thai?

The Danes do have a magical force field, and that is why they're not worried about their warships being targeted by Russian nukes.

Same with Sweden/Switzerland. Otherwise perfectly intelligent/well-educated seeming people consistently make little quips about the Swiss to me. I no longer even get confused about it about when it happens.

I suppose you use a fork and knife when you eat pizza as well. Sooo European...this is why we left for MURICA; freedom from fork tyranny

Actually we use something called knife and fork... maybe you've heard of it? its quite popular here in Denmark...

I was saying that if the Blurred Lines verdict holds, Bruno is a ripe target for Morris Day...

I didn't feel the need to give my 7 and 10 yr old daughters a history lesson, which probably would have had them rolling their eyes. The fact that we can all sing along to Uptown Funk, rather than my ears being tortured by whatever other pop nonsense they are addicted to, is reason enough to love Bruno Mars.
