I’m not at all surprised that the ‘cheap’ teeth whitening procedures get more tepid reviews. It’s human nature to have greater affection for the stuff that costs you dearly. Something sets you back a few grand, you can’t really afford not to love it. Thus, you’re predisposed to think well of it after the fact. Even if…

Yeah, because dead actual children are better than aborted fetuses any day!

Right? Or at least a couple of bastards running around. Besides Cosby, I mean.

Hey, once he fucks a woman, she’s forever his property, regardless of, you know, legal divorce and remarriage! Divorce and remarriage is just disrespectful, for pete’s sake. Anyone can see that, surely!

Any article using ‘fripperies’ unironically is my friend.

Wait, hyperbole isn’t allowed here? So very sorry!

I’m a woman undergoing The Change. I haven’t been cold in two years.

I don’t want to be a jerk, but I have a jargon question. I keep seeing ‘X was sat in my section’ and it gnaws at me. Is ‘was sat’ the preferred usage? Not ‘was seated’? /grammar ocd.

The problem with that is that everyone assumes the sign is meant for Other People, not them. It’s a mystery, but it’s true.

I am always struck by the amount and intensity of the compare-and-contrast I see among my acquaintance. I guess it strikes me, because I somehow managed to avoid that particular hamster wheel. Not that I don’t ever feel competitive with my acquaintances, but not to the all-encompassing degree I see. Not every person’s…

There’s always the KFC double down!

The larger Larger question seems to me to be: when (if ever) can somebody else discipline your child? It occurs to me that there has been a move away from this in general, and it might not mean the end of all that is holy to start the pendulum swinging back the other way. Excluding obvious psychos and buttinskies,…

No. the prosecution is the *people’s* lawyer. The victim’s interests are upheld only as they coincide with prosecutorial aims.

At the risk of being pedantic, ‘reticent’ is not the word you want here. ‘Reticent’ means ‘taciturn, untalkative’. You want ‘reluctant’ or ‘hesitant.’ Which: I get the mental mashup between those two that ends up as ‘reticent’, and I get that ‘reticent’ can occasionally mean ‘reluctant to talk’, but it does not mean…

Ah, what memories. Back in my wedding singer days, I once lost the lyrics halfway through the second verse of “Evergreen.” The band circled back around to start the verse over, and I...got lost at the same place again. Usually, I could recover a forgotten lyric by thinking about something else and having it percolate…

Not lying, I was singing this song all day at work and grinning like a derpwad.

But Holder didn’t step down until she was confirmed, so the job was covered all the while those fuckballs were dicking around.

I once enjoyed sexytimes with the captain of my European river cruise.

If only women’s clothing manufacturers would affix fabric pouches to various women’s garments, in which tampons — or, indeed, any supplies necessary to life as a person — could be placed and thereby transported conveniently. Just spitballing here: maybe call these pouches ‘pockets’?
