Also I can’t actually participate in this thread because I will not allow myself to be distracted.

I love the countdown clock on HBO right now. It’s basically New Year’s Eve.

My mother gave me the same advice. Then I got made fun of for ignoring them.

I’m 33 now and celebrated my birthday by reading birthday wishes on Facebook from people who haven’t seen me in ten years. That’s literally all I did.

can you splice

I eagerly await the demise of the “open concept” trend. The spaces are invariably ugly and just ooze with noise pollution and food smells. I want walls and doors I can close.

What stands out to me more than anything is that she was here for 3 years and it feels like she started yesterday. What I mean is that I’m old and no longer grasp the concept of time.

It is incredibly bold to invite people into your home and not tell them you will be staging an elaborate Christmas card shoot first.

Noted. Have you ever tried Lactaid’s ice cream? I haven’t, but I am curious.

Okay. Sugar alcohols put me in the hospital. You are right that they are fewer (or no) calories, though, so if that’s important to you and you like it, good!

They are QUITE similar

I’m stunned at the allegation that there are people that have never seen goatse.

Yes, this. The depiction of people with EDs led me to believe for a long time that if I wasn’t dangerously rail thin, I didn’t have a problem or, worse, that I wasn’t good enough.

Yeah I mean, we joke, but literally right now there are dozens of people on my Facebook talking about how Clinton obviously killed this man.

Same

I think I just take issue with the marketing about it being “healthy”. It’s objectively unhealthy. If you’re counting calories then you can argue that it’s better in terms of the math, sort of, but that’s not the same thing as it being a healthy option. Sugar alcohols aren’t good for you.

Same here, although I have portion control problems anyway. I guess I’d rather be fat than spend my life on the toilet.

Sugar alcohols are the worst for my stomach. Once I figured this out, my life drastically improved. “Sugar free” does not work for me.

Substitute the ice cream part for literal chocolate and carrots, and... same.

Ok, what is this? I have seen it at the grocery store and avoided just because I generally don’t like ice cream (I’m somewhat lactose intolerant and ice cream makes me sick, woe is me).
