I don’t misunderstand anything as I agree with your points. What I’m saying is it’s not useful to not say “hey this cult’s, crimes should be ignored because there’s a bigger cult that did way worse crimes and by the way all religions suck.” You’ll never convince the majority of believers in any belief system to leave

Oh god this argument again. Yes, all religions have dumb beliefs and you won’t find me disagreeing with you when you say Mormonism is a cult. But just because one cult got legit status simply because it got huge (Mormonism) doesn’t mean it should get a pass either if it harms people or animals or does things that are

The guy in the middle of that photo looks like Vince Neil and Paul Williams had a baby.

God Gerard Butler’s accent was so bad in this film. I think he didn’t use a dialect coach at all -- he just watched Goodfellas too many times.

Gah! This is my dream. However even if we could afford it, my hubs would never go for it. He’s generally more needy of me than I am of him. I need my alone time, and he doesn’t. He’s also more talkative than me and most of the time I just want to be left alone.

Hmmm. Seriously thinking of changing all my user names to “Crotch Toxins.” I like it.

Doh! You’re right. I meant to refer to his grandmother. 

After a brief tour of several British websites, hoo boy do I NOT understand the typical British opinion on those sites. They hate her, blame her for everything. Complain about the way she wants to spend money. She and Harry decide “fine then, we’ll leave.” And this make them hate her more. Feels like an article from

Yes. Midcentury may be overdone, but I’d argue it’s timeless good taste now. Things I’d rather see canceled:

The entire Republican party is a gigantic MLM scheme. It runs on the constant need to recruit new members, and brainwashing its poor schmuck members into believing that the big payoff is always just around the corner, if they just believe a little harder. The majority never see they were born at the base of the

My first thoughts are “How long before Gwyneth Paltrow jumps on this?” and “How will Gwyneth Paltrow monetize this?”

Ugh. That movie did not age well. Watched it a couple years ago. It was painful to watch Nick Nolte’s character’s less-than-casual racism. I think he dropped the N-word approximately 200 times.

OK. I’m all for poking fun at Madonna, but I have a question. It’s quite natural to pick up accents when you move somewhere where the predominant accent is different from your own. I agree that with Madonna the accent largely arose from her own pretentiousness (thus I agree with poking fun at her).

You are not alone. When I’m by myself I talk to myself in accents. I switch between British and Australian. I watch a lot of Acorn TV and shoot for sounding as authentic as possible.

Can we talk about an offshoot of this problem? I make about 20K more than my husband. He’s cool with that. However he sometimes falls into thinking that his job is more important than mine. When there are issues with home, kids, I have to fight to make him realize that no, it’s not “easier for me to take time off.”

Yes, veggie burgers are processed. And junk food. JUST LIKE MEAT BURGERS. Is he trying to imply a cheeseburger and fries are nutritionally superior? Yes, veggie burgers have an aura of health around them, but the reasons people eat them don’t always include health, and that’s something the meat industry can’t fight.

Ugh the stupidity. It hurts. Jeebus if you are a student at a college lucky enough (parents have enough money, coached you into college, walked you through the process of getting there, expectations you’d go, had good enough schooling/grades to get there, were accepted) to be there and live in a dorm you are the very

Just because you can make money at it, and put effort into it, doesn’t mean it’s not bullshit. I saw some comments saying that hatred of influencers has some basis in misogyny, but can we talk about how influencers just add more levels of bullshit women have to navigate? It was bad enough with people faking perfect

I kind of think us moms should ruin this for them. Because what is the fun of having children if you can’t embarrass them? Let’s all go on Tik Tok. We’ll start every video with “Hi ____, it’s your mom.” Then we’ll pretend we think it’s a video messaging app. We’ll remind them to do their homework and eat broccoli and

My mom had an antiques business for years. Her house was crammed full of things that were old, rare, beautiful, and (used to be) valuable. I’ve been encouraging her to downsize due to her poor health, and she insisted on trying to sell her antiques herself through ads in yard sales, etsy, ebay, etc. She sold very
