To be fair to Michael Douglas, the entire world could use more Channing Tatums and Chris Pratts.

we don’t have many Channing Tatums or Chris Pratts, while the Aussies do.

My reaction to your comment:

Wait, so you’re sexting some woman and think it’s reasonable to ask for pics of kids? Dating sure has changed since my day.

I highly recommend knowing how to budget for food, shot for groceries, and cook meals for yourself, no matter what. I love takeout, too, but cooking at home is almost always healthier, cheaper, and less wasteful, and it’s a basic life skill (like being able to change a tire or do your own laundry) that’s just useful…

Haha! Oh no, he was doing his JOB?! The nerve!

I wonder if Taylor Swift is super popular, super rich person who is living aa picture perfect” life. I can’t tell. I hate how humble, low-key and private she is.

Like ... Rihanna doesn’t map out every minute of her fun for her followers to consume. Because she’s too busy being the literal coolest.

Adultosaur might end our friendship over this, but I just really can’t stand T. Swift’s overly-curated Insta-life. And I say this as someone who loves her music and also her cats.

Ratings are for value as well, you insufferable tool.

I manage the food and be read outlets at a very nice hotel in Dallas and we can't get the Bellpeople or Concierges to send us diners because some of the steakhouses pay them up to $25 PER GUEST that they send. Party of 8? Here's your $200 cash! It really sucks!

And everybody else is speaking of their experience that it might be better to look up reviews online.

TripAdvisor is an excellent site, indispensable, really, for those of us with the means to travel internationally. The key to all online sites (including Amazon, by the way) is to only read the negative reviews, and filter these with a bit of cynicism.

I’m not always proud to be an American, but I try to always be grateful to be one. This morning in Philly there was a ceremony in front of Independence Hall prior to the parade, and a group of people were sworn in as citizens of the United States. Watching the joy on their faces as they became America’s newest…

Um, no. Aside from the fact that I entirely take public transport when on holiday, or walk/bike around, I am NOT asking anyone no matter how friendly they may seem where I should eat - one individuals idea of good food might not be mine - I definitely prefer to look up ideas online, that way I can actually choose what…

Many of us are from immigrant families. Maybe we feel pride because of that.

The other issue with asking locals is that I’ve found even when I ask them where would YOU eat/what’s a good off-the-radar place, they often still send me to the tourist traps because they think that’s where I really want to go.

On Gawker, 364 days out of the year, the only correct attitude is a groveling sort of self loathing about how we live in the most debased, despicable country in the history of civilization. I’m shocked this whole thread didn’t turn into a diatribe about the foulness of this hell spot we call America. If you give it a…

Yes, that’s why I read reviews. If 40/100 people say “this vacuum was great until it caught fire”, I think there just might be a problem with the vacuum catching fire. If 40 people say “It was an ugly shade of red” or “The box was dented”, well, I can ignore the bad reviews.

All I’m going to say is there are so many countries where I could not exist. I am a female, educated, single, able to own my own property, my own money, choose who I socialize with and date, work at a job, drive a car, vote, and above all, I can criticize my government as openly as I want. We ain’t perfect, but we’re…
