Remember, when you mock some celebrity for being pasty and fat, *all your pale fat friends can hear you*

I haven’t met any demographic that flat out smells bad, but people can definitely smell different from each other as demographics. IDK if it’s because different groups tend to use different body/hair products, or if it’s the food from different cultures, but people do have smells that can seem strange to others.

Washing chicken just spreads bacteria around when the water splashes. There’s no point to doing it.

Yeah this one definitely reeks of hypocrisy. If you’re going to say that a woman’s body and fashion are her business and not yours, you have to apply that to everyone. We’re not supposed to talk about Adele’s weight loss, but a politician wears a weird chunky ring saying “fuck you” and suddenly it’s entirely okay to…

This was a one- or two-off event, and the razors and shit were put there by psychotic parents. It wasn’t stranger danger.

Georgia is fucking wrong. Chocolate is the only valid type of Halloween candy. Fight me.

I’ve been with Mr. Petals now for 10 years. Still glad I married. Still glad I didn’t have kids, because if I did, I’d probably have just drowned myself in a river from all the stress.

The thing about gentrification: making a place nicer for the people in it will also make it inviting to people from the outside. If you want a place less poor and less run-down, you also are going to bring in people who therefore want to live there. Gentrification is inevitable. The issue is poverty, not improving…

I have not seen a single soap ever that doesn’t leave my face feeling dried out and tight. I’ve even tried Dove, which I hear is notoriously “oily” soap (because it’s not soap, it’s mostly moisturizer). The weird thing is that my face usually is super greasy, but the second I wash it, it feels like it’s been dried out…

I honestly think that if you’re a celebrity, you have two choices if you don’t toe the line: lie or keep quiet. Keeping quiet ensures nobody can have issues with you because, well, nobody knows what you think.

People are just butthurt that Chris Pratt is religious.

take this star and go XD

Sometimes it’s “shit, I’m in my 30's and aging out of having kids, gotta marry the first dude I have any chemistry at all with.” I hate this. Some people just won’t get to have kids because life sucks. It might be you. I will never be a pro artist, and I want it; that’s just life.

Ask vs guess is such a major thing that I think they should teach it in schools. Askers see guessers as “you want me to mind-read you and that’s bullshit.” Guessers see askers as “you’re lazy and just want to be given orders or you won’t do anything.” Both of these are valid ways to do life.

I think preferred height and weight are the two sides of that coin. Like women can’t ask for 6' minimum and then get mad when he wants you to be skinny. You just can’t. Everyone has attractions, the parts want what they want, you don’t get to write off men’s preferences without writing off women’s preferences too and…

Oh man I feel you on this. I don’t have things to bitch about. The problems Mr Petals and I have are like...manageable, and we sort them out together, and it’s not something I create drama about. But then I see like, coworkers whining about their partners, and it’s like, does he/she know you do this? Is this somehow…

Really common halo effect bullshit. “Oh, they always look ugly/unmasculine/etc.” You can’t assume that someone who looks “undesirable” to you is also evil. It’s not correlated.

If she didn’t agree in writing (or recorded or such) not to sue him, she can just turn around and do it anyway. And she should.

Related: can anyone tell me how to wash sherpa blankets without destroying them? All of mine are now like...scratchy mats instead of fluffy. :(

Please don’t blame Democrats for needing to work on this infrastructure bill. We have way too many things that need fixing in this country, and that bill is very important. It also doesn’t mean the unemployment situation *isn’t* important -- ideally, these two can coexist.
