I just posted this upthread, but I had exactly the same experience with myfitnesspal. It was awful.

I cannot use Myfitnesspal. I was religious about it for maybe two or three months, gradually becoming more and more competitive (just with myself -although I had begun using it with some friends but they gradually stopped until I was the last one standing), and I wanted to eat less calories than I was ‘allowed’ and…

I am pretty sure that only having one option is for communists

I'm not sure, but I don't *think* you can get American Girl dolls in the UK. At least not easily. Since this is a UK company, they're responding to a gap in our market, not in yours.

I had exactly the same thought process

This is like when they blur out the ‘nude’ drag queens on RuPaul’s Drag Race. We know they’re not naked, we know it’s men wearing layers and layers of padding and make-up, and yet somehow they must be blurred...

I’m British and my years of education has been at various art schools in the UK and Europe, and I have NEVER heard of anyone being told to get naked in an educational setting*, so unless USian arts education has very different intents and purposes, yes, I would describe this as ‘uncommon’.

I also thought this, given that I’m British, my only experience was hearing the name as the ‘place where the blonde one from The Big Bang Theory works’ while channel-hopping, so ...

Here’s what I don’t get: why post that on Facebook when you can call/meet/text a friend and rant in a controlled way with someone who understands that you’ve just had a bad day/are frustrated that the job market isn’t better/whatever.

Over winter I went on an ‘only eating non-imported food’ mission (I live in Sweden and it was a month of potatoes, carrots, very expensive spinach and beetroot while I dreamed of fresh tomatoes). The ONLY thing that made it fun was beetroot turning my lunch pink.

I was talking about this the other day: occasional cute baby pictures of baby being cute and/or funny, yes. Annoying endless ‘everyday’ pictures no. Unfollow/unfriend.

should it not be 'paws'? As in 'scrabbled through them like a cat?

Trying to remember the real name for a thing that has a family name is really hard, my whole family calls a 'forehead' a 'headford' because my sister made a mistake saying it when she was a kid. I have to think so hard to remember what it's called when talking to non-family.

I've just had a flashback to my days as a Sbux barista.

I have finally (at the age of 27), embraced my curly hair. And found a hairdresser who I trust to cut it. I trust no one else. The only problem is that she works near where my parents' live, which is inconveniently not in the same country I live in. It's a problem.

I lived in China for six months. Bloody Google.hk was the bane of my life, closely followed by BING *death glares*

I work for a nanny company in Sweden and that's how they work. It's not sketchy, out of that they also have to pay taxes, insurance, blah blah blah...

The kids I babysit for are often horses called 'whitey', 'brownie' and 'blackie'...

I don't think they've been around long enough to have a name yet.

It's a weird way of phrasing the question though, maybe "What kind of cake is that one in the middle?" would be a better way of asking without implying there was anything wrong with it
