I assume the quoted part should read bananas and plantains rather than plantations?

I think I just say CREAM CHEESE actually. I always feel the need to yell about the cheesy goodness.

This is fucking me up. My gut says CREAM cheese, but now I have no idea how I say it.

I don't really think of myself as having an accent (I speak like a "normal" Mid-Atlantic-ite), but I grew up with British parents, and randomly I will say things with a British inflection. Not even really an accent, just phrases and words in the British way. Like pasta. I say it PAH-sta, rather than PAW-sta.

And THIS is why I love Biden. We live in a world where politicians are afraid to have strong opinions unless they're sure their PR people/speech-writers and most of their party would approve. But Joe Biden is not afraid to have a strong opinion and stick to it.

I kind of get why Pocket Rocket Poppette wouldn't want to talk about most of those things, and I do think it's at least somewhat standard that celebs will have a couple unmentionable topics, but why Mariah Carey??? I'm sure she's been compared to Mariah Carey, but is it that hard to talk about being compared to a…

I think you're mincing her words a bit. I'm not concerned about people taking pictures of me changing, because there's no market for those pictures. She realizes that it is more likely that someone will try to get such pictures of her, because there are tabloids that would pay good money for it.

Have you, perchance, ever seen The Vicar of Dibley?

There's a problematic part of my brain that has decided that free food (or ridiculously cheap food) is also calorie-free.

Was hopelessly confused about this, too. But I guess it just means Neil and David?

LOVE this collection. Also love seeing black and Asian models.

I'm guessing it's not as easy as just saying "I'd prefer not to have hair and make up done," but this is still something I don't have the energy to get all up in arms about.

This is some idiotic shit right here. My girlfriend is an elementary school teacher in the innerest of all inner cities, and the stories her 6-year-old kids tell could shock the least shockable people. Many of their stories involve police in some capacity and not many of those stories involve police coming to their…

This feels so good.

LOVE.

Oh, I was kind of being silly. (Sorry, tone is so hard on the internet.) But thanks for the explanation. I'd heard the idiom, but was genuinely curious.

How do we count the three? Because we've had so many celebrity deaths this year, aren't we WAY past three?

Thank you! I came here to say something similar. It's hard to forgive her for some of the offensive shit she has said, especially recently, but it's important to remember the great things she has done in her life and her role in paving the way for other female comedians.

I think you're totally right. My mother has taken to fat-shaming me (I've gained a bit of weight in the last year or so, but I'm still quite thin and don't "need" to lose weight) and I'm 99.99% sure it's because she's ashamed of her own weight and is taking it on me. I think this is rather common.

I'm so torn between loving and hating Scott. I love him because he actually is self-aware and is genuinely hilarious and does not suffer the horrid Kris Jenner. I hate him because he's a genuine dick and all around terrible person.
