My grandma’s doctor tried to tell her to stop eating whole milk cottage cheese. We laughed and laughed and laughed about that one.

There’s that moment in...Skyfall?? Where Javier Bardem insinuates something sexual and Daniel Craig oozes back “what makes you think you’re my first,” with a confidence that always made me think it was not just acting. Even if he’s straight straight, I have no issue with allies at the gay bar as long as they’re not…

I mean arguably if we lived in a less shitty capitalist country that valued education, we wouldn’t be forced to live places we don’t want to live and do jobs we don’t want to do just to pay off loans, while the children of the affluent get to snap up the desirable jobs in fun places. BUT agreed on the silliness of the…

You're a me neighbor! You know the big things and are generally on good terms with folks, but not deeply engaged and that's ok. My partner, who works weirder hours, is a GOOD neighbor. He knows everyone, chips in, is up to date even with our former neighbors, etc. Both options are fine. A bad neighbor is a notable…

I have been so glad to FINALLY have the algorithm start sending me that "rest and eat well" fitspo shit instead of all the 19 year olds hawking diet teas. As someone who both a) saw health benefits from strength training and dropping some weight and b) has a history of obsessive exercise and anorexia....I don't do…

Same! The theatre was my biggest COVID heartbreak, I used to go all the time. I’ll watch anything!! I even saw the Zach Efron Baywatch remake. Luckily I have always liked matinees and oddball nights, so I've just doubled down on that and felt fine. Often enough it's just me and/or no more than half a dozen other…

We are a poop together couple although not necessarily by choice. But there is a certain joy is screaming and laughing in disgust together.

Snorted cuz I'm a parks and rec style civil servant and did in fact have someone try to follow me to the bathroom to ask about a parking lot :( I promise I will be RIGHT BACK and answer your question...

You never have to stop asking! If you want out of strip mall hell you could try a live/work share. There are even some where I live (Boston) but are mostly through faith-based groups here that I'm aware (specifically the Quaker house here is the cheapest). But I see ads on Craigslist around rural areas of New England…

Theres a great Broad City episode with her where I think she is NOT acting...

People are horrible. I had a woman doing 35 in a 25 run a stop sign and hit me. I smashed up her windshield, busted up her hood, and took one of her side views off. The first thing out of her mouth was “how are we going to pay for the damage to my car?” Like bitch you're going to call your insurance and SO AM I…

To be fair I don't generally read about her so I'm not sure what she's said before, but I saw an article a few years back where she said she stopped looking for other stuff once she had a family. She realized she was happier having a steady, no surprises gig that she could easily plan her life around, and make her…

And fwiw this article wasn’t anti-porn, but pro porn education. For kids at a formative age: know you’re seeing actors and how the dynamics on screen vary from desirable and healthy dynamics in real life. And, if you see something you like, learn how to get it in a safe and healthy way for all parties!

Mmm I couldn’t get the article to load but I’m probably in agreement with the author. Somewhere out there is a great longform piece (the Atlantic maybe??) about the benefits of addressing sex ed and porn early. I think it’s less that a more “traditional” dating scene would be more conducive to enthusiastic consent…

My mom's favorite line for a speeding ticket was "you didn't need my help getting it so you don't need my help paying for it." This family should scale that concept up...

A friend's kid's teacher approached her about how her 3 year old hadn't yet grasped something...perfect alphabet etc. and my friend COULD NOT successfully get across to the teacher that she just didn't care. She's 3!!! She can learn about sharing and eat dirt and she'll figure out the alphabet at some point just fine.

It reminds me of that wonderful and dark HBO show with Alia Shawkat where a bunch of vapid friends become obsessed with solving an old missing classmate's disappearance, suddenly convinced they really care...

Because they are wannabe influencers (?) I am really really hoping this is a hoax gone wrong and she's ok and he's not cooperating to avoid being charged with making a false report or something, but given the police report before her disappearance....I am not holding my breath for a "happy" ending.

An old vegan frenemy once said she'd only have "rescue" chickens and put them in the woods and I was like....to feed....the foxes??????

I love the shelter cat update Krispy! The poster above is nuts - on the rare day I don't want to see the kittays it takes like...3 seconds to just scroll past. Oh the hardship!
