He does not hold a candle to Nihilist Arby’s.

OK. Now I really must read it again! Though it comes after March, Fun House, A Tale for the Time Being, and Hagseed. (I have not been reading enough lately.)

That was my impression too. I felt a bit better about them after reading ‘I Dream of Zenia with the Bright Red Teeth’ and have been considering giving the Robber Bride a second chance. I read it as a teenager, and maybe I’ll understand these women more as an adult.

Locked phones are locked to a carrier, so you must unlock them before bringing them to another carrier. Unlocked phones can be brought to another carrier with no muss, no fuss. With an unlocked phone, you should be able to plop in a new, compatible SIM card and have it just work. This is great for international…

If you don’t mind switching to Android, there are great options. My husband got the One plus 3 and I’m continually jealous of his dash charge, amazing camera, and dual SIM. A friend recently got the second newest Huawei, and he is super happy with it. I think you can even get their newest versions for well under 600…

But allowing people who have few items proveably shortens average wait times. Also, there are some people equally rushed at the airport and some who are not. If you ask to cut at the airport and the person ahead says they have the same wait, maybe you both should be asking to cut. Sometimes bending the rules can just…

OMG! I’ve been reading Kinja comments for years and I never knew about this plugin! Thank you for mentioning it, you have just improved my quality of life!!

Jeez. I had to scroll so far down to see this first reasonable response. How does nobody see the difference between the joy of sometimes putting on makeup for fun and the tyranny of having to spend >15minutes on it per day?

Good point. This term, `sheetcaking,’ seems pretty useful. I think it’s what I’m doing right now. :(

Yes. As I read your reply, maybe that folding back was her point? Like she was trying to act out the frantic, scared, hopless, angry, and plain fucked-up way so many of us feel now. I donno though. I suppose however you slice it her point was unclear at best.

I flip-flopped as I watched this. There was a moment where she mentioned something along the lines of ‘when your daughter tells you to stop ranting about [some very legitimate concern], it’s time to shove in more cake.’ At that moment, I thought it was about how society tells people - especially women and minorities…

This is the dumbest thing, but my husband has this issue. We have many colors of towels and he just keeps taking more and more of them out of the closet. He can never remember which one he used and he’s absurdly concerned about using a towel I’ve used. We have two showers and we each prefer and generally use a…

At least there’s the brunch bill though... :/

I think people really need to keep pushing on this and pointing out how weak his statements have been. I really want someone with a platform to call back his campaign rhetoric with “these are radical right-wing terrorists, and Donald Trump won’t even mention the word.” `Right-wing’ could be replaced with `white’ or…

Although this book is not my dream solution to notes, it’s much closer than Boogie Board. I do a lot of math, deriving theorems and tracking big equations, so I need continuity from page to page and the size and color of text is really important. I actually credit my best result of my thesis to a pack of multi-color…

I know some religions prohibit period sex. If you hide your period from a man who believes period sex is sacrilege, and he finds out, I’m sure he’d feel violated. I think such beliefs are silly and I don’t think I could have a relationship with someone who thought that way (due to religion or whatever), but I wouldn’t…

Given that this article focused on live TV, I think rotary or indoor antennas are worth mentioning as a final option. For most people, I think that can cover Fox, CBS, NBC, ABC, and PBS. Some of the networks allow you to watch many of their shows directly off their websites, at least for a while after the episode…

FYI, this buddy is already the star of his own manga franchise about his life pre-shelter:

That is actually a way better idea. I could email notes like that to myself so they’d be searchable after the fact.

This is a great idea and made me think of a useful tweak. I’m a bit forgetful and sometimes I put something away and worry that I’ll forget where because it has no permanent place in my home, or I’ll just worry because it is important, like my passport. From now on, I’ll take a photo.
