Oh man, I live in the UK now, and the lack of timbits in my life is really, truly, genuinely awful. Yeah, sure, I’m ok, I’m surviving, but there is no true happiness without those little dough balls of joy.

Not that it’s terribly important, but for some cultural context: for middle-class Torontonians, going up north to cottage country is a yearly ritual in summer. If your family doesn’t have a cottage, it’s likely that you’ll know someone who does. For a lot of kids, visiting friends at their cottages represents, for…

I’ve always wondered why the MPDG has persisted so long...and I think it’s because straight, hipster men can’t accept their own normality. They can’t confront the prospect of just sitting on the couch with someone for 30 years. But that quiet sitting around is what takes courage. That is what requires real loyalty and…

My wife and I try hard to respect each others little pet peeves. It seems minor, but makes us so much happier. You have to be polite to each other. We always say please and thank you and treat each other with a lot of courtesy. It sometimes freaks people out. Numerous people have asked if we are always so nice to each…

I would love to see a marital study done on the opinions people have regarding the toilet seat. My mother has never once ever mentioned this as a problem to my dad that I’ve heard and they’re great. The two relationships I had where the toilet seat was - GASP - not down for the woman did not end well.

I love this story. Also, I would rather be in a plane FILLED with people furtively fucking in secret under blankets than have a kid kicking the back of my seat. Or be seated next to someone chatty. Fuck on, star-crossed roommates of the world!

Shatner is no fool. He just doesn’t want to be involved. I think he’s still dealing with Nimoy’s passing. And we shouldn't demand anything of him for a long time yet.

My boob.

See my immediate feeling was “GET OUT OF MY FANDOM, TED CRUZ”

I certainly disagree that Star Trek wasn’t and doesn’t continue to be (at most with the exception of the last two movies, which were made to appeal to wider audiences) political. The role of scifi is to explore current political and social issues through a lens that allows us the distance necessary to assess and…

Hi! Overweight dude here. I’m a big guy... 6’2”, 225 lbs...

Wait, I have a dick? NEWS TO ME.

“fishier than Aquaman’s jock strap” has made my entire life.

I never said anything about not choosing to work with a midwife. All I said was that in the medical complications the author faced, a midwife would have been useless since they’re not trained medical professionals to do surgery on your damn living room floor.

When my baby began to die during my labor, within seven minutes of the fetal monitor indicating her distress, he had me stretched out on an operating table and delivered of a healthy newborn. Still, my friends kept talking about their beautiful experiences in birthing centers, in pools in their own living rooms, the…

That’s the fur of competence.

This elicits a bit of an eye roll from me. I don’t know how different the US is to the UK, but I don’t believe anyone in the air industry would EVER use a word like n****** towards a passenger and paying customer. My sister is a flight attendant and those chicks/dudes are like the Stepford Wives of the service…

Due to constantly being misunderstood..

I talk about sexism plenty, because that’s how you solve it. Combating sexism is not the same as allowing sexists to dominate every forum, or validating what they say. If the Internet changes the topic to the same thing every single time you want to talk about a woman, then you can never talk about a woman. That’s…

I’m not american, but since this is your holiday and all, i thought it fitting to ask you people a question about your country.
