Except for the person I know who decided to go gluten-free (her chiropractor told her to). She just eats the same amount of baked goods and pasta, except they're all gluten-free now and cost twice the amount. The bonus is that the rest of us get to listen to her complain about how crappy the gluten-free versions…

Just because she chose to take the risk and campaign, doesn't mean she has to carry it through to full term. She's a person too, dontcha know, who has hopes and dreams and career goals that don't necessarily include having a Governorship. Or are you trying to infringe on her political free will??

"Personally, I think Riki Restaurant's concept is a great one — mostly because I'm tired of stressing out over whether or not I'm going to have to shell in extra bucks because the company I'm with decides to tip poorly."

Maybe not too many people would use it, but it would be nice if Facebook would implement a feature where each user can choose how they would like their account to be dealt with after their death. Similar to how Facebook asks you to choose "trusted contacts" in case your account is hacked and you need help getting…

I work in fundraising, so this is something I've heard a lot about. It's pretty likely that this was unintentional on the part of the charity, but that's no excuse for them mailing something to his address, as well-run organizations will have practices in place to avoid this happening. Most charities run their…

Maybe the server was named Jesus?

It's one of my favorites, too, especially because my grandma has it framed on her wall, so I saw it every weekend growing up. :)

Governor Butch Otter sounds like some sort of Redwall series fanfic Gary Sue name.

Did your school not have sex-ed or biology classes?

Glad they got arrested. Pranks are funny and essentially harmless. This is disgusting and destructive.

I say this with complete sincerity — perhaps you should think about doing some reading on women's experiences and feminism in general. It seems like you want to be a man who understands and stands with women (and this is admirable!), but you don't know how to do so in a way that will feel empathetic and supportive to…

So you do not believe men ever come across as entitled, yet you write a comment that is seventeen paragraphs long about how women are wrong to share their experiences in a forum aimed at women, because you personally have not encountered the same experiences?

I don't purport to speak for all women, just myself, but I think that when women use the blanket statement about being scared of "all men," they usually mean "all men who are strangers to me." I like meeting new people and am, I think, an overall trusting person. However, there's always that tiny voice in the back…

Replying to bump this up.

I'm assuming the person is referring to the shitshow currently going on in the comment section of the Gawker article about the same story. Mostly trolls and MRAs arguing with anyone who in any way tries to link this story to a trend of violence against women.

Wait, is this a cafe where they happen to have a few cats around to play with/get glares from?

Well, if you are committed to having a black tie event, you need to expect a higher than normal decline rate (especially paired with a destination wedding). Black tie/white tie is the only exception to the "don't put attire notes on the wedding invitation," so you can alert guests on the invitation and then either…

A dry wedding is fine etiquette as well. In that situation, you'd probably want to discuss with both sides of the family and reach a compromise of some sort. And I'd guess the compromise would be different depending on the reasons the family is against alcohol being present (a family member in recovery? religious…

You sound like a good friend.
