I find the way to deal with salespeople like this is to say, “listen, it’s fine if you don’t have anything that meets my requirements, I appreciate you trying to help, but I’ll just go elsewhere to find a car that fits my budget.”

Man, that is a name alright.

Well, it’s sort of her fault, because it’s her married name, so she willingly took it (although I know in her crowd not taking her husband’s name would be super weird).

I was actually thinking that possibly Melania was claiming she couldn’t find a dress. More likely, he’s heard Melania, Ivanka and Kellyanne complaining about the fact that no designers are willing to dress them, and figured that meant all of the dresses were sold out everywhere, for everyone.

I used to be like that. I’m almost pathologically honest, but I grew up with a sibling who lied frequently (constantly, really) with ease. For a very long time I was jealous that she almost always got what she wanted as a result, and rarely suffered negative consequences for her actions, because she could so…

I feel petty criticizing someone’s name, but as someone who grew up in a trailer park, I gotta say that I would assume the moment someone decided they wanted to be taken seriously in a professional forum, they might consider ditching the hick-y name for a shortened version (Kelly? Anne?) or her middle name…

Exactly, he’s done so many things to show his poor judgment, but it makes me wonder if criticizing Meryl Streep’s acting ability might be the sort of thing to finally penetrate the brain of people who have been deluding themselves thus far. Because there are patently untrue statements, and there is implying Meryl…

Also politicians who are actually doing their jobs don’t have time to be having twitter fights with celebrities at 3 am. They’re likely unaware the celebrity even made the comments because they have a thousand more important things to do, and have staffers to manage the low-level PR stuff for them.

I saw that and it made me wonder

I think it’s the celebrity equivalent of when you meet someone who initially comes across as charming and witty and after a few interactions you realize they’re actually totally smarmy and self-involved. I think he’s probably always been like this, and the Taylor Swift thing was one of those key moments that confirms…

I like Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling (and love JK Simmons) but I just haven’t been able to bother going to see La La Land. It just looks like a self-indulgent 90 minute long music video about how great LA is, and how love sets you free to be a true artist or some blah blah don’t care. But everyone seems to be so…

I think you sort of show the problem of trying to compare the quality of shows like The Crown and Westworld simply on the basis of “which did you enjoy more?” With the Crown, there is no suspense - you probably already know whether or not Margaret and whatshisname marry, or when the King dies, and whatever else before…

I’m mostly confused how someone on government assistance got approved for a $3,000 loan to buy Christmas presents. I am not a money borrowing person, but clearly standards have been lowered since I was a kid and my gainfully employed parents had to shop around to find a bank willing to lend them a moderate amount of…

Totally focusing on the wrong thing here, but as someone who lives outside of the US, this line caught my interest:
“Preemption laws are also commonly used by NRA and Big Tobacco to fight local gun control and smoking bans.”

I really like the burger recipe below, although I’ve never made it exactly as directed, but made some modifications based on comments/research/my own experience with veggie burgers. That said, comments suggest it’s very good as presented, although a bit time-consuming, but I’ll let you know my modifications below. Oh,…

This is the point his narcissistic brain cannot comprehend. He’s an executive producer on that show, and everyone knows it. Watching it will financially benefit Trump. There are a lot of people actively boycotting anything to even remotely connected with Trump right now.

That’s sort of the modern conservative m.o. - let things decay into dysfunction under the guise of “fiscal responsibility” while simultaneously frittering away any money that is saved on nonsense, and then leave a financial mess for someone else to clean up, and start blaming the problem on them three days after…

Possibly you’re right, but she always did have a good voice and with competent management likely the illusion that she’s a powerhouse vocalist/relatively sane could have been maintained for quite awhile yet.

Yeah, in the 90s. Trudeau doesn’t even live in 24 Sussex, because it’s essentially uninhabitable due to decades of back maintenance that weren’t done. I think it got particularly bad while Harper was there because he refused to allow any upgrades to be done, but it seems like there have been a lot of PMs in succession…

I’m not familiar with this person so all of these comments about her cheek implants I started thinking must be catty and exaggerated. So I googled image searched Stella Bulochnikov and... wow. You guys were not kidding. That is some unfortunate work that she seems hell-bent on emphasizing with absurd amounts of…
