I agree on all points. Her gun control tweets seem uncharacteristically sincere to me, considering she usually sticks to more surface things to be “on brand.” I believe she has honest opinions about gun control. In fact, I’m sure she has honest opinions about a lot of things, but we rarely get to hear that (again, not…

Yes, but why? The Second Amendment talks about “a well-regulated militia” as a preferable alternative to a standing army. But the U.S. has a HUGE standing army now, not to mention myriad branches of armed law enforcement. So the original vision of “the people” arming themselves for idyllic—and…

Full disclosure: I’m a Canadian. And I have a question.

Haha...yeah...lil bit

I think you mean picking morels, not picking morals. Picking morals is how I spent most of my twenties, but that’s a different story. Choices are hard.

I never said she was camping. I did imply her telling of the story may—just may—have been influenced by what kind of mushrooms she ended up picking and how much beer she was drinking. Just maybe.

Late to the party here (found this article searching for something else) but yeah, creepy as hell about Anne Perry. I’d read her (mostly) cozy mysteries without connecting her to Heavenly Creatures, which was a movie I’d liked but didn’t realize was about Perry herself. I had to stop reading her books. I just couldn’t…

Wellll...her story is pretty...uh...let’s see:

So do ALL these people live in Byron Bay, Australia? I suddenly want to never go there. Or go there immediately. I can’t tell anymore.

Yes, what I was saying was that Pink’s definitions of sarcastic and facetious, respectively, were not significantly different than yours, so I’m not sure why you feel the need to defend anything. We all took high school English.

Yes I see it. You weren’t being cryptic. But apart from not agreeing with your point on many levels, your analogy is truly, truly terrible.

What you said is SO similar to what Pink said that I’m not sure why you’re even disagreeing, respectfully or otherwise.

“Sometimes I want to feel anxious though...”

Um, what? THAT’S what you’re going with? Were you worried the comments section was not going to devolve into invoking Nazis soon enough for you?

YES! THIS. ALL OF THIS.

Nope.

Salut!

Me too. But also because I just know the press would find little things to criticize me for, like “she doesn’t wear makeup,” or “she wore the same thing twice in public,” or “all her clothes seem to have pasta sauce stains on them.” They’re so vicious that way.

Do I spot a fellow Canadian, by any chance? (we all take the low-level French we were made to learn VERY seriously)

It doesn’t sound like you’re trying that hard not to be judgmental of people’s life choices.
