Yes - I moved in with a roommate who insisted on once-a-month professional cleaners, and I am a complete convert. It’s much easier to keep up with smaller day-to-day when the heavy scrubbing etc is taken care of, messes don’t pile up because we need to keep tidy for the cleaner, & there are no arguments about one…

I’m of the opinion that any man who whines that women should pick up the check just as much as men should be forced to only date women who spend exactly as much money & time on grooming as they do, & who make just as much money. See if your opinion changes. (That said, I personally go Dutch)

They only bother me when I’m watching something funny - they’ll give away the punchline or ruin the timing. But they would not ruin Beauty & the Beast, no.

I was confused by that too - I wonder if they mean rittenhouse square itself was a gay hangout outside of the gayborhood...

I didn’t take off because it’s my busy season and a day off would create exponentially more work for me than any of the men in my office. Them all taking the day off would not affect me nearly as much.

I’m all for you-do-you and have-fun-as-long-as-you’re-being-safe but she’s so damn thirsty for attention over who she’s having sex with that I will judge her for her performative sexuality without guilt.

I’d be super curious to find out if increased frequency of anal sex has been a big factor in the increase of colorectal cancers - it’d be years before we find out an STD like HPV has been behind it.

I heard someone at a gas station Monday morning say to his friend “I mean, Trump’s already done almost everything he said he would do in such a short time.” And he sounded pleased about it.

I wonder if he had yet another Damon bit planned to end the show that got scrapped when he had to rush the stage...

Have you been to Laurel Hill cemetary? I love that it was created to be a beautiful place people would want to wander around and use as a park. It’s so much more peaceful to me than rows of perfectly manicured graves and mowed lawn. Using the space isn’t a sign of disrespect in these style cemetaries, but of…

Boston rent is ludicrous - my brother moved to Honolulu and pays the same in rent as 1/3 of a 3 bedroom apartment as I was paying as 1/4 of a Somerville apartment.

I think a lot of it is that there weren’t that many movies about a bookish brunette heroine, and it did break ground in its very cinematic/sweeping presentation. There’s a reason it was the first Disney film to get a Best Picture Oscar nomination. But I’ll put it down to the book thing.

My job is also 5 different jobs in one - I found two examples of job titles that together get close, and compared the salary range for both.

I decided long ago that any white boy born in the 80s/90s who loves the Cowboys is a troll, so I get it

I was told by somebody who cares more about football than I do that they give black guys of a certain age a pass for being Dallas fans - something about the Washington team and others not being integrated for a while

One of my relatives sent out a christmas newsletter with master levels of shade but it would similarly take way too much explanation to outsiders. I certainly enjoyed it though, while literally sipping some tea

Man, if only men and women really listened to each other more... I personally have terrible sex the first time with anyone - I get nervous/anxious even when I’m excited/enthusiastic, and things tense up and dry up as a result. Luckily current bf was amazing about it - the first time we stopped and did other things,…

Yup agreed - it’s a way to sound “cultured” and international instead of the “provincial” “Dad”

I think I’ll make any future grandchildren call me the Queen Mum

You can sue to have an adult committed for mental illness too, though.
