This is fascinating; thank you for this enlightening comment

Yeah, no. Sexually assaulting someone is not a “flaw”, it is a conscious choice that he made. By comparing it to an innate character trait he is distancing himself from his actions and mitigating responsibility. Fuck him.

I was in 8th grade-ish when Andrew Cunanan was on his cross-country spree, and one day he was spotted at a local south Jersey diner (Olga’s, RIP, for my local peeps) and everyone LOST THEIR GODDAMN MINDS. I knew nothing about his crimes and had no idea wtf was going on but I vividly recall being TERIFFIED to leave the…

NEVER BLOCK THE BOX!!!!!

Have you ever lived in the UK or received healthcare from the NHS/an NHS-like system? I have lived in both the UK and the US (currently in the US) and the healthcare I received in the UK was superior, in my opinion. Never experienced any long waits to see a doctor, never experienced “only getting care if the…

oh my god THANK YOU - i thought it was just me!

oh my god! I finally figured out who Spicer reminds me of! He totally reminds me of a younger version of Father Callahan at the end of Salem’s Lot, after he gets turned into a vampire and skips town on a bus. It’s the eyes, man. *shudder*

I went to a Celebrity Jeopardy taping here in DC a few years ago where Chris Matthews was one of the contestants. The clue for final jeopardy was “It was discovered in 1930, and in 2006 was downgraded to ‘dwarf’ “ and I shit you not, Matthews wrote, in all seriousness, “what is a midgit?” MIDGIT. like, I realize the…

I served as a juror once, and I think we deliberated for like... two hours? And let me tell you, they were the two most contentious hours of my entire life. Can’t imagine how it must feel to be one of the jurors on the Cosby trial, I really feel for them. In my experience we had one holdout who was like, “it’s not…

HAHAHA WAIT, they’re turning the granite run mall into a fancy TOWN CENTER? wowza

I hate being hot (if it’s over 75 degrees I am just sweating nonstop) and I am super pale and burn really easily. I generally hate being outside in the summer. BUT I LOVE GOING TO THE BEACH. It seriously makes no sense, but I can lay on the beach from like 10am - 5pm with NO problem, as long as I have a steady supply…

Anyone who talks shit on haggis has clearly never eaten haggis.

It’s also a lot cheaper than their products for women! WTF?! I’m buying it tho - thanks!

I need a new eye cream (aka one that isn’t something random I get as a sample) - do they have one that anyone recommends? I’m 32 and starting to get some serious eye wrinkles :(

Question for my fellow commenters: my mom gave me a Coach bag for my 30th birthday and the shoulder straps got worn down and started fraying pretty quickly, like only after a few months of use. I put it in my closet and kinda forgot about it for like a year but just busted it out again because it’s a good commuting…

Wow, I had no idea! for some reason I thought they were these huge clunky things and I already have my coveted stand mixer taking up a lot of counter real estate. Great user name, by the way!

I #stillwould tho

Totally agree, and if that’s the case, I am inclined to go easy on him. It can be a really healthy thing! I took up running in a moment of madness when I was newly sober, and 2+ years later I’m running half marathons on the reg. The world is a crazy place.

no, UNFORTUNATELY - they don’t sell it at any of the grocery stores in my area! My friend posted a pic of a can of it the other day though, I’ll have to ask her where she bought it. Maybe I can cheat on La Croix and get a 12 pack.

I really should buy a soda stream because I’d save money on all the bottles I buy, and also I just hate buying that many plastic bottles, even though I obvs recycle all of them. Do they take up a ton of counter space?
