This is an excellent point. My husband presented himself as the first type, but is actually the second type. Unlike the OP, we hashed it all out before we got married, and both of us are a little more forgiving toward the others’ POV than the OP. So we both gave each other time to understand where the other was comign…

YES.

I hate men b̶u̶t̶ ̶I̶’̶m̶ ̶n̶o̶t̶ and I wish I were a lesbian.

.True enough. I didn’t feel like writing two extra sentences to get to something more precise. 

Oh you don’t have to tell me. My first year out of college, I didn’t know anyone in my new town and therefore spent time with my boyfriend’s friends, all ibankers and management consultants.

I believe it varies, but yeah, one of the reasons I’m getting my kids used to the idea of foreign unis is because of this. I don’t see any point in them going to classes with kids who’ve never read history before 1700 and don’t know how to construct a paragraph.

I’m honestly just waiting for the day people realize you can go to great English-speaking unis abroad, and even at the international student rate, pay less than you would at state schools in the US.

Kibbeh nayyah is the correct answer.

YES!

It’s fine, but it’s not kibbeh nayyah, which, along with homemade babaganoush and hummus and tabouli, is the food of my people... Michiganders.

I thought it was problematic for these reasons when it was airing.

I mostly agree. But. Would I watch Matt Saracen do pretty much anything? Yes I would. 

No kidding.

I 100 percent make pasta with jarred pesto and “shakey cheese” (that’s what my kids call it), which prevents mac-n-cheese from happening more than like once a month. It’s legit OK.

:)
This is totally a kid thing. When I was single, I def. defaulted to roughly the same thing you describe. Being required to cook for four healthily and unfailingly makes convenience foods prohibitively expensive. The only way to maximize cost/time/health/tastiness is to plan and batch cook.

Sesame oil is its own life hack. It legit is the magic ingredient. Other parents area always fubared by the fact that my kids eat spinach and mushrooms and beansprouts and kimchi. I’m like, ADD MOAR SESAME OIL. Hell, my kids’ classmates are jealous that htey get to eat triangle rice balls for snack, I’m convinced…

Philadelphia is a great movie with the wrong leading man. Mike could and should have gotten it.

Yeah, I’m even too lazy for that. I usually just make a big protein every week (roast or whole chicken or something) and then use it as the base for the rest of the week. So, I made a whole chicken last night and then stripped it and made broth from the bones. Today I took a bunch of the dark meat and dropped it in…

The meal planning/diet thing is really new. I remember trying to do meal planning like 10 years ago, and everything was like some version of casserole/set-and-forget!, i.e., highly processed and full of cheese, fat, and carbs. I’m actually really happy that you can now find modestly healthy meal planning suggestions,…

There were a few years in the early 00's when a lot of pop producers were basically using 2-step garage vibes in pop songs. That first song up top is basically an MJ Cole/Wookie arpeggio mixed with Sunship-style production. And a video super reminiscent of a Miss Dynamite track.
