Way to miss the point. Anyone would get tickets and lose their license if cops decided to spend all their time trailing them the way cops in racist areas follow black drivers around.

I don’t know personally anything about it, but I remember reading an article about it and essentially some couples have a hard time in their first year married (even if they cohabited beforehand, etc.) because a) mental shift from it being a ‘choice’ to date this person to ‘THIS IS WHO YOU’VE CHOSEN TO BE WITH FOR THE…

I feel you. I married a slob. A funny, kind, intellectually brilliant slob. I’m not as smart as him but I’m smart enough to know that if you leave dirty dishes by the sink for a week they will start to smell and maybe attract ants. Over the three years we have been married I have seen tiny, incremental changes for the…

First year was definitely not hardest. The hardest years of my marriage were 6-8 and that was because of recurrent pregnancy loss and the mental issues that we had to deal with surrounding that. Fortunately year 10 has been nothing short of amazing.

I also don’t get why the first year would inherently be so hard. But…

Wait, what the hell is “bread cheese?” That looks identical to queso blanco (frying/grilling cheese), except rebranded to not sound foreign so it can be marketed to yuppies at Whole Foods.

Yeah if I was Princess Mako I’d be saying “oh don’t change the constitution for little old me! I’ll just go off with my cute future lawyer “prince of the sea,” work the royal family connections for an extremely cushy, highly paid finance job, and spend the rest of my life living in comfort far away from the…

I agree. If you’re in the right circles and it’s relatable, then it’s also enjoyable. In the first 2 seasons, which is more about the guys being scientists. I discovered the show the semester before grad school, while it was getting ready for the 3rd season, and I went back and bingewatched the first 2 seasons. I know…

I watch BBT, and I actually enjoy it.

Right? Akihito has been begging the Japanese Diet to let him retire for *years* now. Not letting women be emperor is like not letting women have a turn in the Iron Maiden.

>I’ve never understood patrilineage (well I do, but stupid)

I think its a revolting stew of a woman socialized to compete with other women, socialized to place inordinate value in the professional esteem on tenured male professors and similar credentialed men of a certain level of accomplishment, and I can afford no other terms than: she thirsty.

The first part is something…

Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

I cannot get enough of this Fyre Festival Failure. Its SO funny to me. Keep the updates coming!

If you enter the country “without inspection” (that is, sneaking across the border in some way), you are not eligible to get a green card through marriage, even if you marry a U.S. citizen. Such green cards are only eligible to the undocumented population that were originally admitted with a visa, the so-called “visa…

Think about how hard it is to pull off a prank like that in the age of the internet. In the old days, you had to go out of your way to find specific information.

That’s fucked up and I am picturing the kids on the editorial board laughing about it. In my head they are all wearing blazers and loafers and look like Paul Ryan.

Cornell, my alma mater, is a private land-grant university meaning that generally, tuition is astronomical but they have big in-state tuition discounts for certain subsidized programs, which is how my family could afford to send me there. The school paper always prints a fake edition on April 1, but I was so stressed…

Best wishes to her. I’m sure you don’t need my advice, but I can’t help pointing out that no matter what day of the year it is, people don’t have the right to stalk, harass or assault your daughter. My metric is always “if adults did this to another adult in the workplace, would it be acceptable? Would they get…

I’ve never heard of Glossier but am on their website, now. Though the makeup isn’t quite my style, I do appreciate how they show what the lipstick will look on different shades of skin. This is very helpful, and I wish more companies would follow suit.

Water is a chemical. LUSH uses mostly natural ingredients, but of course smells are subjective.
