Ohh, so it’s now become clear that you’re a garden-variety internet shithead. I should really read the whole thread before giving somebody the benefit of the doubt.

I’d say most cults are probably described as “a bit eccentric but nothing illegal” until a) someone disappears into it who’s rich or important enough to attract law enforcement attention or b) “Daddy” makes everyone drink the poisoned Flavor Ade. But also, none of us even know enough to conclude that nothing illegal…

This adage should be emblazoned on tshirts for teenage girls (and cross-stitched on a pillow for me)

People who whine about women in leading roles “not being relatable/realistic” should REALLY be reminded of this important fact!

This is basically what I was going to say - I guess we all decided that nouns and verbs no longer have meaning, so all we’re left with are meaningless modifiers. Everything is huge and great! No one who majored in English in the last 30 years wants to die!

Thanks to East Coast clients and their conference call schedule tomfoolery, I did more than that on my way to this office this morning.

While that was true 5 years ago (or even 3 years ago), over 50% of all video views on the internet now come from mobile devices where fullscreen portrait-oriented video is generally preferred (and anecdotally, many people I know who are <30 have Portrait lock on their iPhones almost all the time). Blame Snapchat…

Thank you for this comment. I’ve been trying the same approach this year, and while it has definitely been a struggle, it’s also SUPREMELY liberating to be able to separate the concepts of food/exercise from the concept of self-worth. The more I thought about it, the more I realized that berating myself for eating two…

I know they definitely had a web presence in the early 2000s, because I remember anxiously waiting next to the Dell PC while my mom made sure A Knight’s Tale and The Princess Diaries were FotF-approved.

Ouch. I guess I’m lucky I didn’t have to hear my mother say the phrase “dumps like a truck” (I shudder at the very thought)

I hold Plugged In responsible for the time my mom found the 3 Doors Down album I’d just sneakily bought at The Wherehouse (in my defense, I was 13) and proceeded to read all of the “objectionable” lyrics aloud in order to shame me for my ungodly choice. Very fun.

I agree with this 100%. Dudes who don’t contribute to something as easy as cooking because they “don’t know how” will likely not contribute in other important ways. On the other hand, this morning (after getting home from a nightmare work trip at 2 AM) I woke up to the smell of the eggs, bacon & coffee my boyfriend…

I figured spelling was the least of his problems just then ;)

I’d recommend not calling people sweety if you want them to think your correction is anything but condescending. it comes off real gross.

And even worse - he’s not just a shithead, he’s a mealy-mouthed weasel who refuses to accurately name his beliefs because of the ~optics~ of being associated with Nazis. It’s so pathetic.

I’m the youngest of 5, so I always felt like my tastes aligned more with the 80s kids than the 90s ones ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I totally forgot they made those! My ‘96 Olympics commemorative one (Viola Rose) was my prize possession

The world’s worst round of Who’d You Rather

Is it me, or is Putin’s smile-face STRONGLY reminiscent of a cabbage patch doll?
