Nicely put. The fear of appearing egotistical is genuinely real for Brits. It's one of the true cardinal sins for which there can be no forgiveness, along with standing on the left-hand side of escalators and publicly professing religious belief. One cringes inwardly at the mere thought of it.

Oh, exactly! People in the States get this compassionate, furrowed-browed look of concern on their faces when they hear me default into my self-deprecating British instincts. They look like they want to hug me and make me warm milky drinks. It's actually rather lovely of them.

I actually went through an embarrassing time where I was literally in love with Dean. Like, actual, butterflies-in-the-stomach love. With a fictional character. I would get depressed for days thinking about how our love could never be, because he, er, isn't real. It literally went from schoolgirl elation to…

I can't get too upset about this unless they explicitly told her that she had to have her hair and makeup done before appearing on camera.

Agree. Maybe I'm a cynic but I totally accept that people are flawed, that you can love someone's work and find them funny or brilliant while also acknowledging that they can be assholes or hold questionable opinions about other things. It's called separating the art from the artist and it really is the only way to…

God that's good. Reading your response feels like when you're super fucking hungry and then you eat something delicious and then you feel your blood sugar go up, only it's the blood sugar of feminist fury. I need a cigarette after reading that, and I don't even smoke.

According to Alan Elliot of Baby Moses Dallas, the way to prevent miscarriage is simply by carrying the child to term.

It does kind of sound like an awful movie though.

Here's another I just read on the linked Reddit thread:

"I remember being a kid and we went to Disney for the first time with my parents and when we were walking in, looking at the Castle (Magic Kingdom?) straight on, I looked up at my Mom and she was bawling her eyes out like a little girl. (I was maybe 9)

No one who works at any of the parks will find this in any way odd or bizarre.

this is why i hate it when a girl on tinder asks me to snapchat her, 'oh god no, why are you asking me to do this, seeing you naked isn't worth how stupid i feel'

I remember a friend of mine who is a cop talking about how hard the job is and how dangerous it is so he doesn't understand why people are cautious of him and such. This was at a party with my uncle who is a police chief and he finally couldn't take it. He basically railroaded him about the job being dangerous and…

BRB writing fanfiction.

I KNOW RIGHT!!!!????

There are many people who would have that title over Beyoncé IMO.

Oh, well maybe I just don't get those questions as often because everyone knows Willy hops in his helicopter and pops over every Saturday afternoon to meet me for coffee and gossip.

What? These are not the questions we harass the British with! I prefer the "Do you know Prince William" and "Why won't you drink coffee?' questions myself.

I think these gentlemen know:

And what people seem to misunderstand is that the loud minority? They vote. They show up and they vote. Granted it's because they are super duper happy with the status quo and understand that every election matters and the mid-terms are when real changes are made to laws that effect them specifically.
