I just got a food mill for my birthday! It has a potato ricer blade attachment. I fucking love kitchen gadgets.

I don't hate her - I just think she's overrated. Not that likeable, not particularly charismatic, kind of phony, seems like she tries too hard, etc. Tons of other more compelling actresses out there. Rosamund lit it up in Gone Girl, for example.

All the ways people will say it's her fault:

Or meet a stranger at a bar, meet a stranger at the library, meet a stranger at church...

She may talk about not caring about what people say but that whole piece is one big exercise in "love me, love me, love me."

I think of it as a pendulum - if someone feels the need to prove their piety outwardly they're usually holding something pretty dark inside.

As someone with a thigh gap that I didn't ask for, please everyone can we stop making it a ~*thing*~ now? On the one had, there's all those who've consistently made fun of it and made me feel like a freak for half my life and on the other hand there's crazy people making it this unattainable beauty standard that I…

Starting to get why my partner is complaining all the time about our overstuffed kitchen. I own like 90% of these gadgets — at least the nonelectronic ones — and we have a tiny European kitchen.

god I love my ricer. I also use it to squeeze liquid from frozen spinach, shredded potatoes, zucchini, etc.

I'm a potato ricer convert too. I use it about 2-3 times a year (Thanksgiving plus maybe another time or two).

I love my potato ricer too! My grandmother swore by potato ricers, and her mashed potatoes were legendary.

Those work so well. I saw a contestant using one on Top Chef and immediately bought one. It makes the best mashed potatoes.

Thanks for this. We are having a wedding at a "destination" where I attended school and which is midway between his parents' house and my family's homestead. Everyone is travelling (including us). If we had it here, about 3/4 of our guests would have to fly into an airport 2 hours away from the venue and rent a…

This is actually untrue. The 50% divorce rate only applies in aggregate. Individuals typically have a lower divorce risk. Especially educated, financially stable individuals.

Except the resale value of diamonds is beyond pathetic, since their price derives from marketing and a cartel, not scarcity or value. Make him buy you a house to propose!

Yeah, I was gonna say. $20K isn't exactly going balls-out on your wedding. I have friend who used hand-me-down diamonds and she designed her own ring and it still cost $5K.

Have you ever actually tried to get money out of a diamond? You get nowhere near the amount spent. DeBeers would have you believe that diamonds are a sound investment, but it's bullshit. If this sort of cynicism about marriage is your game, then ask for engagement gold bullion! :)

I'm sure this is about financial problems - like, getting into debt or not knowing how to properly manage money. I think the expensive rings and weddings are fine - you do you - but I think a lot of people who get these things maybe can't afford them. They say financial problems are a huge factor in marriage troubles.
