I am not saying this to diminish or lessen your experience. I am saying as someone who has traveled the world that white folks and Americans get that too. I’ve had plenty of folks ask me to ‘speak American’ or asked me to say certain words popular in the US and not utilized elsewhere (think Queen’s English vs. the US…

I hate that!! I’m not Thai but come on folks! Not all Asians are the same nor eat the same way.

You realize that we weren’t a glorious and happy, wonderful, truthful, etc. society and then President Trump got elected and it went to shit, right? He actually said if you get rich enough women *let* you. That’s a bit different. I hate to defend anything and I’m sure I’ll get shit for this which is fine. Trump is not…

My boyfriend is from a former eastern bloc country and hates it. He loves his land and people but the corruption, crime, etc. is awful. All remnants of the former communist occupiers.

I seriously tried to tell my friends I was an escaped tsarist princess... Like fucking Anastasia.

Preface: not any way shape or form an excuse.

The only issue with this statement I want to address is this whole presumption that they “see no borders”. Come on. From all accounts and anything I know of human history, humans are more or less tribal. We have our groups and we can venture away. But it’s so pretentious and privileged to act as if borders and the…

I love tasting all kinds of different things for dinner. You would think maybe get the bread or something? I also hate feeling full and wasting food.

Omg. I remember watching the Facebook meltdown. That was insane.

Throwing away athletic prowess because it’s not a cerebral endeavor does a disservice to the human body.

That’s kinda like saying “give your average person the ability to do what rocket scientists can do and it would be easy!”

That is not okay.

An ex of mine started dating a friend of mine. He and I would have terrible arguments but only once did he put his hands on me and that was to shove me into the ground.

Nobody has the right to send you such a trashy and degrading message. I am sincerely sorry to read some assclown thought that was ok.

I was speaking with a colleague one day at lunch. I was talking about my upcoming trip and he his friend was like “are you dating? Married?” and I said all of us nearly always have someone. Not a partner but people we flirt with or have varying degrees of some type of relationship with.

“I have to ask if he has any STDs now?”

When I watched the video yesterday and saw people waving and saying ‘bye’ from *several* rows back I figured there was more to this story. Most people want to board, stow their things, sit down with their headphones on and politely ignore everyone else around them. I’ve flown hundreds of times all around the world and…

Wait, people have imaginations other than that?

One year we had so little resources so that meant we had no side dishes. So when the turkey came out we all just kinda dug in, like a lion on a disabled buffalo-on the top of the stove and with little regard to manners.

It’s not really ‘mooching’ if you put it into context that they are the, you know, military. That’s kinda like saying that any other gainfully employed people have no right to bitch about people that do not work.
