I get it. I wouldn't talk to him either.

Holy shit!

Oh, this indie anti-diamond thing really grates on me. Really, all diamonds are inherently ostentatious? Teeny tiny ones? Antique ones? I can see not wanting to buy blood diamonds, but beyond that and personal preference, I don't get it.

I have the flu and am in a hellish mood in addition to the disgusting and miserable conditions associated with said flu. This, Jia Tolentino, made me LAUGH. Thank you.

In my experience, it wasn't about tattling. It was a power play, a very calculated thing.

I obviously have no way of knowing whether it is the case with this story but when I taught high school, if a teacher did something (say, using an expletive in class) that a kid objected to, it was typical for that kid or kids to go to the headmaster and complain.

Thanks, I'm well aware of the expense. I'm just sympathetic to the uninsured and the underinsured. It's a scary place to be.

Oh, I see what you mean.

Well, if she's got a high deductible plan or no insurance at all she very well might have waited quite a while to visit the doctor. Plenty of people wait to see just how sick they really are before they go to the doctor, because it's really expensive! I'm not advocating crying Ebola to be seen faster, but it's naive…

It's worth it!

That's very sweet of you! No, I don't care about him.

That's all very true, of course. Thanks for being nice!

Oh, I don't know. I mean, it's true that a lot of women do want to "dress skinny." I do. I have issues about my weight, and perpetually diet to maintain a low weight. Right now I'm trying to lose more for personal reasons and an upcoming event. Yes, I posted a comment the other day about eating frosting out of the tub…

YES. I love her, and this!
