I mean, sure, technically, but it's also a matter of accessibility for the server in order to do their job. If I have two tables on one side of an enormous restaurant, two tables on the other side, and one table hidden behind a half-wall or enormous potted plant— I simply cannot physically get to everyone quickly and…

this is my brother's high school. I'm following this one closely.

I clogged the toilet at my boyfriend's parents house over Christmas and made it overflow. It overflowed so badly that the poop-water coated the entire floor and begin dripping through the ceiling into the kitchen below, where the whole family was hanging out.

lookit that belly!!

As a server I love you for it.

ADDENDUM TO ALLERGIES:

Quit giving the Jon/Tyrion shippers incentive.

I love the dress. So simple, and for a celeb of her status, I think that's really interesting. Also it totally reminds me of this.

God, if any of my friends read this one, I'm doxxed for sures. I've told *everyone* this story.

I'd wear that right now.

Public schools are based in neighborhoods— you get assigned to one depending on where you live. So changing schools would involve an entire family picking up and moving to a new town, or in some rural areas, county.

I certainly won't argue with you there, and he's lost my defense at this point. But really, no one tends to respond at their best when they're being called "stupid asshole" on the internet. (Which is probably the "TL;DR" summary of my previous post.)

I'm not denying that a lot of the things he said were problematic, by any means. But I find the knee jerk reaction to problematic/offensive things, particularly on the internet, is to get aggressive and start conflict, which never (particularly without a face-to-face interaction) works to educate or change minds. …

Yeeeees, I read that the first time you wrote it, so I'm not sure why you felt the need to quote yourself as though I hadn't. If you would like me to repeat myself in return, I will. But I will respond to you just as I did before— I don't think he was disrespectful or rude at that point.

I don't think he was being rude to ask questions. Once everyone was on the same page, Kat seemed fine with answering his questions— the point of this column, as far as I can tell, is educating people who may not be aware of the intricacies of being LBGTQ+, and answering questions is part of educating.

Are you outside the USA? I'm NYC-based myself and it's strangely easy to forget that the rest of the world isn't usually as welcoming. I'm glad you have the internet to be welcoming though!

My friend, if you're going to call someone out for asking questions, how do you expect them to learn anything? Ignorance is only a sin if it's willful.

I think the fact you seem to recognize the holes in your knowledge, are trying to be educated, and trying to be respectful of the people concerned while doing it is a good thing. Ignore the people trying to pick a fight, some people won't settle for anything less than instantly perfect, and we're none of us that.

It's from 10 Things I Hate About You! Alison Janney is the counselor, to boot.

I'm not sure what you think I was trying to say here. As far as I'm aware, I was being very reasonable, and I'm rather taken aback by your vitriol.
