Because chicken tikka masala was developed by Indians in Britain to suit British bland palates. Indian food here is also almost always made by Bangladeshis or Pakistanis.

The seagull in this gif is my hero.

Right, but did he tell you what he wants, what he really, really wants?

And Maddie’s “Wild Card” was so awful, it was like an ill fitting pair of underpants.

The music got so much worse after they lost T Bone Burnett. And Maddie’s “Wild Card” was so awful, it was like an ill fitting pair of underpants.

Don’t get mad at me but....I wouldn’t mind if there was way less Rayna next season hell let her take it off I want Juliette Barnes and Avery 24/7 with a sprinkling of my baes Will Lexington, Luke Wheeler, and Gunnar with just a touch of Scarlett and maybe some new blood a Mickey Guyton type perhaps.

Threesomes are only normal if you’ve been sexually abused? Fuck you and your unbelievable leaps and stumbles.

I love Chrissy Teigen so much.

Sure. You don’t, however, have to be skeptical of the claim that a man who was caught in the act of sexually abusing an unconscious woman by two witnesses who had no connection to either party and no reason whatsoever to lie — and then convicted in a court of law — is a rapist.

20 minutes out of a life is actually a really long time to violate someone when you consider that you can kill in seconds. Time isn’t indicative of harm.

If she’s 14 and he (as an adult man) was found guilty in the US of having sex with her, it’s by definition rape.

I doubt there is a reason to avoid it. I just googled “age of consent El Salvador” (18 years) and “age of consent Virginia” (18 years, although the first link says 15). ETA: the stories may not have used the word “rape” because the charges are sex trafficking and sex tourism, not rape. But I don’t believe that the…

it’s statutory rape just in general because she is a minor....

I’m pretty surprised by it. Does no one else read the articles before they hit the front page? Lauren is also the one who did that story on the Peruvians and Bolivians eating frogs to extinction with that tacky shock photo—except the source NYT article said the frogs were being driven to extinction mostly by…
