I'm surprised to see Garuda on here but not AirAsia since it feels like they're roughly the same inside in terms of cleanliness. I will say the ANA crew work HARD to keep their airplanes clean. Those FAs are freaking anal about everything.

I’ve never hooked up at a wedding, even my own. At mine, my husband and I had an unfortunate, awesomely bad, and apparently violent dance to “You Can Call Me Al” by Paul Simon and his nose bled all over my dress. He was so drunk and in pain we just went to bed.

I’m the person who will go up to a stranger and yell at them/publicly shame them for doing so. I’ve done it everywhere: US, Mexico, Costa Rica, Iceland, Indonesia, India... It’s an effective tool though I caused a ruckus at the India-Pakistan border.

You glossed over the part where I said “in part.” I see you want to pick a fight with everyone but take a moment to check for nuances and qualifiers before you do so.

Look you’re right- there’s been numerous studies showing that some ethnic groups in Europe share more biological data with ethnic African groups (there was a Radiolab or TED talk podcast about that recently) (also excuse my terminology because I was a liberal arts major). That being said, in terms of ethnicity, your…

Exactly. 1. It's ugly and 2. The price point isn't uncontainable for a middle class person to aspire to (caveat: a la Carrie Bradshaw forgoing food to pay for fashion)

Exactly. While we may know the designer of every thing the Kate Middleton wears, the royalty are the perfect example of this- they never would have been caught in a logo. Same with the old school preppies.

There may have been some producer influence in that decision. That show is very heteronormative. That being said, I've never met JJ and can't speak to his character.

How many candidates are there now? I've completely lost track

As a newlywed with a new husband who had bone cancer twice and is in remission, I give you the hugs too. I hate those regular check ups with the oncologist and I hate it every time the area around his scar hurts him. But we’ve made it! Congrats on your soon-to-be 14 months!

This is the third (maybe fourth?) time this season a guy has just lost his marbles and gone out with a bang in one episode. Clint was the same way, same Kupah, and that Buddhist guy. It feels VERY contrived, even for a bachelor show. Which reminds me: I share a few mutual friends with JJ and recently grilled them on…

Is like to preface this by saying that I wholeheartedly agree with you and your choice to pursue whatever way you choose to grow your family, but I wonder if I’m the only one getting a “related” article suggestions pointing me to a 2012 (?) article from Jezebel slamming Michelle Duggar’s choice to have 19 kids and how…

She looks like the Black Dahlia or the Joker

I’m a big fan of advokat, which is used in Northern Europe and Indonesia and just makes me think of a car in a wig

I think this one isn’t as bad as Kim Kardashian’s registry. At least this one has several price points, even though I scoff at paying $40 for playing cards.

I can only imagine my MIL’s reaction to a naked dress. Would have been worth it :)

Right? Fashion designers often today keep trying to push the envelope but there’s a huge divide between what they create and what a normal person will actually wear. CH, DVF, RL make clothes that are wearable. No one will wear a naked gown to a wedding (though it'd be hilarious)

That looked beautiful. Did it taste good too???

Not mine (because I went the no-cake route) but my cousin had a traditional cake. It was beautiful and we were all excited to eat it... Until it was served to all 500 guests and we all collectively learned that the baker used fondant IN PLACE of frosting. It tasted like when you make grilled cheese and accidentally…

Baby deer can be little nightmares. Years ago a momma deer was tragically killed on the main road by my office. We noticed a baby deer sitting in the median, looking just like this guy and giving us the feels. So I called a local wild animal sanctuary and they told me to put the deer in my car and bring it to them…
