I listen to podcasts that make me laugh but also that were recorded before the election or are entirely a-political (like Dougboys, I'm listening to all the Doughboys I hadn't heard because talking about chain restaurants is very soothing to me.) Makeup tutorials and reviews are very soothing to me; yes PLEASE swatch…

Did it used to taste better when it was brewed in Olympia?

To each their own. Nothing disgusts me more than a chocolaty stout, nothing about beer should be creamy in my estimation (nor does the flavor or coffee belong in my beer.) Truly gags me. And all Belgian beers taste like moldy bread, to me. I really love a crisp IPA (not something testing the very limits of how many…

This seems like a good example of "speak for yourself." I actively do indeed like the taste of beer. But, it is a process, developing a taste for beer and finding out what you like. It is kind of unique to alcohol (beer and wine especially) that they are acquired tastes that you start out likely enjoying only the…

It is a little funny all the uproar about the Yuengling guy's support of Trump when you can bet almost any big business owner is a Trump supporter or at the least Trump tolerater out of loyalty to Republicans. I can't afford to only buy things from people who I personally agree with politically (I no longer live where…

I too was surprised by that, in places where beer choices are slim I've always chosen regular Bud and been relatively pleased.

Are you suggesting alcohol shouldn't be socially acceptable? It is shockingly less acceptable here than in most other Western places. The U.S. has much more hangups about drinking (and there is argument that it leads to more problem drinking compared to Europe where it's just a sort of judgement-free thing you consume…

That whole Protestant feel-shame-about-everything-that-feels-good thing we've got in America doesn't so much get in the way of our drinking but I do think we have a good bit more hand wringing about drinking than other countries.

When I found out it was wifebeater beer in England, I was also so amused since it's portrayed as fancy here! I don't actually think it tastes that bad and despite being very opposed to domestic violence (I'm a woman and have experienced it personally!) I have been known to order it just because of its reputation which…

I visited Portland for 3 days and tried Olympia! I am always interested in the regional cheap beers different places even though, surprise, they all pretty much taste like every other macrobrew! We have Lone Star here, which is equally as watery/bland/too sweet but I do like that it's the "National beer of Texas"…

I personally hate the taste of Rolling Rock (it always tastes like it's gone bad to me) but it was my husband's favorite macrobrew for the longest until he realized it makes him sick (maybe a gluten thing, who knows, but he can drink most craft brews without getting ill so it's still kind of a medical mystery.)

I only ever drink these beers when I'm at the casino and it's free. I'm usually there with my in-laws who are Bud Light people so I usually just get what they get (they do always tip the cocktail waitress tho so it's not true of all Bud Light drinkers.) During my last jaunt to the casino I was given a Bud Light while…

I took the day off which felt a little self-indulgent but I also necessary. Then I went out and did karaoke and someone sang Bad Moon Rising and that's when I finally cried, drunk in the bathroom of the bar.

When he's giving his little speech the next morning and she's like "okay" was so cute; she clearly didn't get why he was making grand proclamations about his work or his desire to learn piano but she was going to try and be on board! Also, I really liked that instead of gearing us up for some kind of piano teaching…

It is indeed very "first world problems" but I mean, I live in the "first world" and so I relate. That's a criticism that doesn't really stand on its own; is the white, middle class perspective over represented in culture? Fuck yes. But I also can't help that it is usually the closest representation to my life…

Yes! I feel like Milo is not getting enough love for his work on the show. I think he's been so good. I started watching the show simply because I think he's handsome, never really had too much opinion of him as an actor but he's really been nailing it. I just think his little one-on-ones with the kids are always so…

I enjoy how things are being revealed slowly, especially the relationship each kid has/had with each parent. I like the twists but this episode showed they aren't necessary for the episode to be good but I need Kevin to get out of that play and away from that British woman because I am already totally over it.

I was most worried about Kate because I'm a fat lady and am pretty invested in the whole Health at Any Size/fat acceptance movement so another "sad fat" wasn't going to cut it with me. And while it's not great, it has gone in some interesting directions. Like, how would a naturally thin mom deal with a naturally heavy…

For sure, that was kind of gross. The whole storyline was kind of bogus (I really can't with the manic pixie dream Brit actress) but I did get teary when he was talking to the widow, it was very sweet and sad.

Precisely my point- mileage may vary. Some people are content with a two person, mildly kinky monogamous commitment (like you and I) but some people's kink requires/benefits greatly from going beyond the realm of what two people can do together. My husband would say the exact thing you did ("no other dicks but mine!")…
