The app is linked with your starbucks card (if you load money onto it), and it opens up a screen where you can scan your phone to pay and tip.

Why can’t you treat it both ways? If your headache is so severe it’s affecting your ability to concentrate, why not drink a large glass of water or two and take ibuprofen?

Genuine question: was this intended to inform those who have for some reason never learned that analgesics don’t cure sprains or headaches or fevers?

AMEN. It is so...comforting, in a “sorry you are dealing with this shit too” to see so many stories here and know that it’s not just us.

Totally! I mean, my parents were extreme. And they didn’t take what I wanted to eat into consideration at all— I mean, my father wanted liver and those lipton noodles and broccoli for dinner? Then that’s what we were having. The ONLY palatable part of that meal is the broccoli! There’s a line between saying, “You’re…

I honestly don’t think he IS. Whenever he speaks, he sounds like me when I was 13 and rilly rilly into Nietzsche and Anton Le Vey and self-congratulation about how much smarter I was than all the sheep, only he’s usually higher than I was.

Ughhhh. My parents did this too, which, sure, was the generally accepted thing to do at the time, but I knew of just as many other parents that didn’t engage in that power struggle, and I still think it was pretty messed up. Actually, now I KNOW it was messed up.

I BURST into tears reading this. Oh, god, you are not alone.

To be honest, I had a nearly neutral opinion on the damn maxi dress article (recognizing it as satire, maybe, but poorly done). I read the comments and kind of made faces at my screen for a while at some of Jia’s comments and some of the others, and then I read the summary of “Unvarnished” and the comment where Jia…

Oh, you weren’t serious? I couldn’t discern that from the the overall tone of the dozens of doubling-down, defensive, and petulant comments you’ve made in the last two days.

“Vander Briel fled the home after Mann was found unconscious.”

Well I can’t even get a mani-pedi now without drowning in guilt, so I guess this means more abortions!

Definitely you’re not alone in feeling like you needed more time to process. That’s also why the counselors talk to you and ask you if you feel okay about the decision. And of course no one should ever be made to feel— by anyone— that abortion is the only option and it has to happen immediately.

I know this is just my experience, but I have the kind of nail-biting problem that causes incredible pain, bleeding, infection, etc. And before anyone asks— yes, I have tried WHATEVER you say will make it stop. I’ve been doing it for three decades and it’s actually gotten worse over time. It’s embarrassing, childlike,…

Honestly, the people who equate nanny with “not hands on” frustrate me. I don’t have children—yet, that is coming up soon enough— but even fifty years ago it was the absolute norm to have your mother (or mother-in-law) with you for the first few months after the baby was born, and it still is really common. Especially…

Oh god, a-fucking-MEN. Until fairly recently, I had a job that would *record scratch* an entire party when I would (reluctantly) tell people what I did. And I GET that on face value it seemed super-cool and maybe glamorous, but that’s only because they didn’t know what the day-to-day was like (actually the god damn…

I just did this too! Because I am a “celebrity” gossip addict I thought I knew enough about them, but I’d never seen an episode. Oh, silly, silly me— thinking I KNEW about them. I like to have something “mindless” on the TV when I am studying, and I thought, what could be more mindless than KUWTK?

RILLY RILLY the only Courtney that matters.

I scrolled down straight after I saw the headline to a) make sure it was Reductress and then b) see if anyone is already telling everyone GO THERE RIGHT NOW.

Her Instagram handle is jillmdillard, and anyway of couuuuuurse she did. I believe it is a sin not to :D
