“Sharing” could be two things: you’re “sharing” a car with its owner (the driver), or you’re “sharing” a ride with another passenger when you carpool.

Red.Vines. Twizzlers look and feel like they’re made out of patent leather!

Ooo! Another life-saving subway feature that I’ve seen in certain US cities and in Barcelona (I’m sure many other places as well) is electric route signs where the train you’re currently on is represented by a blinking dot, moving along the route. Stops that are now behind you are a solid light. Stops that are up

I think this is part of why I’d personally detest parenthood. I have largely let go of my need to prove I’m right about every stupid little unimportant detail, but having to live with that *gestures* every day would just bring it out with raging force and I’d get into legitimate, angry fights with a child about how

I refused to get on the oral hygiene train as a child—I used the ol’ wet-the-brush trick because I think that was the only thing my parents really checked. I do remember as a very small child that my parents had to brush my teeth for me (at the recommendation of a child therapist) because I just would. not. do it. As

Welcome to the US of A!

EDIT: Wait, am I thinking of a totally separate fucking Youtube Empire child abuse situation?

It really is amazing to me that we still haven’t figured out child labor laws for social media yet. The second money starts being paid out to these families, the kids should be overseen and protected just as if they were working on a movie set or in the theater.

Jesus christ. When I first read about the first rumblings about this channel, it was low-level sexual abuse and the children belonged to other families. Now it’s literally every kind of abuse and they’re her adopted children?! What an awful turn for the worst. These poor kids.

NO! It’s a SHOPPING EXPERIENCE! Malls are for poors!

Sounds like a great venue for an existential crisis or Tennessee Williams play

I don’t mean a healthy compromise between drinking soda and your health, I mean a healthy compromise between enjoying life and living a satisfyingly long time.

Huh it’s almost like there’s a healthy compromise in between those two extremes or....no, no that’s crazy talk.

Dude you sound pretty worked up trying to defend your guilty pleasure from hard science and logic. There are people who smoke a pack a day and live til 90, sure, but we’re not over here using them as examples of why we need to stop harshing people’s cigarette buzz.* If you want to keep drinking soda, that’s fine, but

Oh my god, it’s so cringe-worthy. I’d read about it but hadn’t bothered watching a video until now. Also, how creepy that someone could be so determined to [unclear] that they’re willing and able to fake a voice that completely.

I’ve always appreciated the fantasy of Anthropologie’s selection and whimsical stores, but oh my GOD how are they only getting on this train now and with such a small selection.

Goth vampire disco dream.

A lot of these kids probably did not have the info that you assume they have. Their parents probably swooped in and handled it for them, and the kids didn’t think to question it because yes, naivety and privilege. They’re not seeing their admissions letter—the parent is intercepting it and telling them they got in.

I mean, yeah...if it’s freezing or raining or super hot, or if I’m tired or feeling anti-social, the drive-through is the obvious winner. I can stay seated in my own little temperature-controlled bubble where it’s quiet and there’s way less risk of interacting with assholes.

Who are the other celebrities?? This is what I’ve wanted!
