Wow, that's infuriating. You're so right, so many people are just blind to the common courtesy that makes the world livable. I'm a librarian, and I hear so many of my co-workers complaining about people asking them to, essentially, be decent. Not that they are refusing to do their jobs, but they just grumble about…

Just another thing for fat women to be self-conscious about. It's an ugly word, meant to make you feel shame and disgust about your body.

Yea! It seems mean spirited to use it, kind of like how some people laugh at people of Walmart. Those are the kind of people flinging that word around. Plus I have a friend who's overweight who has that body issue and is highly self conscious about it. So yea, not a fan of the word.

It's just a terrible, nasty word. I kind of hope the person who fears getting one does get one.

It turned me off this whole article when I read that actually. But I might just be having a bad day.

Through the other end of the telescope, for those of us who are already old, IDGAF clothes are the mark of successful passage out of extended adolescence. The people I feel sorry for these days are the ones who desperately strive to appear fashionable. If they are under 40, this is excusable on the grounds of…

Really? Ansel is a 21 year old actor who's had a bit of fame, but seems decent enough. After reading tweets from Chet I need to take a shower.

I've heard of FUPA. I'm off to urbandictionary to look up gunt (I'm already doing that squinty look I do when I don't like what I'm reading)...

Ugh, me too. I've also heard it called a FUPA, which only slightly less gross.

I hate this term so viscerally.

Just Haggard Art Lady? Dayyum, every single one of these drawings encapsulated some aspects of my slide into comfortable middle-aged IDGAFness.

Girl, you need a membership to Costco. Buy you all the tissues. Matter of fact, you come with me, you don't even need to get a membership, you can just use mine and buy me a 1.50 hotdog when we done.

"I had the cook charbroil that sucker. It was barely edible. He was too young to know he could send bad food back (even though he was practically a genius!), and the party had auto-gratuity so idgaf. I watched him try to drown it in ketchup and then pick apart the bun for dinner, and I laughed and laughed and laughed…"

My husband hates me because of Laundry Mountain.

So this hotel hosted plenty of groups for functions around the city, and one weekend we had a group of teenagers from the panhandle — like, fucking nowhereville in farm country — come into town for debate team championships of the world or whatever. These kids knew they were smart, and they knew there was NO SCENARIO…

Seriously! Why assume he was going to be poisoned? Mr Matto would never purposely serve me food with, say, green peppers in it. Because he knows not to, and he cares about me. These stories of sneaking shit into food are perplexing and sad.

Pinkham, I want to like you, and most days I do. However, it seems like you've got this mentality where you lump everything in the USA that's not within 50 miles of the ocean as "flyover country" full of Jesus-freak troglodytes who wouldn't know great food if it were force-fed to them.

The Midwest is waaay to big to generalize. There also doesn't seem to be a consensus on what exactly constitutes the Midwest.

Because ... that's representative of all or most Midwestern food? There is absolutely nothing that could be called gross in the West, Southwest, New England, Mid-Atlantic, South, etc.? Sue me but I don't think how Cracker Barrel cooks a steak necessarily says anything substantive about Midwestern food.

Or maybe there is no "Midwestern food sensibility," just "food sensibility"? I've had shitty food on the coasts and I've had amazing food in the Midwest. There are steakhouses in the Midwest that would never, ever cook like a steak like goddamn Cracker Barrel does, yet I suppose they'd be lumped into the "Midwest food…
