I had no idea so many people knew the full history of the “I Saw the Sign” guys.

I’ve only been to two, but one was drinks and Mexican food, and one was a Bloody Mary buffet followed by Mardi Gras, so...both of those were spectacular and I loved them!

Yeah, your comment definitely didn’t stir any ire in me or anything! I just personally haven’t come across anyone practicing yoga with a bindi or what-have-you, so it also didn’t resonate with me. But I would absolutely agree that that was wrong!

Oh man, I am so sorry about the pile-on. I didn’t totally agree with your original statement myself, but my god, the amount of angry responses you are getting is nuts!

Yeah it is always weird how people will say in the same breath, “I would never do X because I am not horrible in Y and Z ways,” and then claim not to be judgmental about people who do X. I don’t know why I ever get into arguments on the internet, though; they consistently spiral out and lose the plot, even though…

OK, I guess I get that. It’s still not for me personally, but thanks for helping me understand why it might work well for other people!

But I guess I don’t understand what benefit it would bring to enter into the shorter-term contracts. For one thing, it’s not as though you can guarantee that any future breakup would coincide perfectly with the running out of the contract.

Yeah I would absolutely forget to do it. There is simply no way I would remember. The world would be full of accidentally-separated couples.

Ahhh you are so lucky! Everyone I know on fb going through a spectacular soap-opera-style explosion of their own making is much more discreet about it. Why won’t my people just post web sites with rundowns of everything that is going on, so that I can judge others at my leisure?

My photographer threw in a free engagement shoot anyway, and I think that is pretty normal practice? We didn’t use it, because we live in a different city and simply didn’t have the time to go down there and have a photo shoot, but I’m sure we would have if we had lived there because...it is free. I am a huge sucker…

That is EXACTLY what I said. In my mind, we were beautiful and graceful, and I really don’t want that mental image disrupted by reality.

I mean, I personally did not get engagement photos, but I feel like they are just...nice photos? Just like any other photos you might have framed or in an album (or on your laptop screensaver), but better because they are professionally done?

As a bajillion people have pointed out to you, not all stations have stairs. But even when they do, it is clearly faster to walk up an escalator than to walk up the stairs. Just...obviously. It is also no skin off someone’s back to stand to the right. None whatsoever. That is zero inconvenience for the person standing…

I mean, I feel like you are nitpicking a little bit here. If someone shat on public transport where I live (in a major capital city), people would freak out and say words. Even if no one is reacting specifically because it’s a thing they are aware of that happens, and they know that it is better to ignore it, that is…

A lot of places have the written rule that you stand right, walk left. As in, it is written at the top and bottom of the escalators. People still fuck it up.

This is exactly what I thought. Trump never had any intention of being president, and things sort of...got out of hand. I think he was just as shocked as the rest of us when he started leading the polls.

I just got married three months ago, and while I realise that my experiences are not universal and that some people might have external or internal pressures that I don’t, it was just...not that hard to be pretty chill about everything. I mean, that falls on a spectrum, because I did have a big party and a white…

I feel like plenty of literate adults don’t know how nutrition and healthy eating works. It’s a skill set like anything else; being literate is not the only thing needed to be able to understand how to navigate diet and nutrition.

This series by Lauren tends to go this way. In theory, it’s about the experience of a feminist-ish bride-to-be exploring the wedding industry and reflecting on her feelings about it, but in practice, it’s kind of...wishy-washy? Basically every post follows the format of
