This is awesome! I remember wondering as a kid "what period can this outfit possibly be from?" when watching fairy tale cartoons or movies (I was seriously dorky) and getting frustrated because it didn't look like anything I'd seen in any remotely historically accurate illustration. I would have loved that so much.

"His is in the same vein as the people rocking bindis and headdresses at Coachella": for a split second I envisioned someone wearing both at the same time and I thought confusedly: "wait, ...what?'... Yeah, it's too hot and I'm lacking sleep.

The supposedly unattractive woman played by a very conventionally attractive actress sporting glasses and a bad haircut (and even braces in the case of Betty Suarez; for God's sake, have you ever seen an adult with apparent braces? I haven't). The only two examples that occur to me right now are Betty and Mayim Bialik…

Actually, my first thought was that "international" was irrelevant. This event made the headlines all over the world for weeks. I was born and raised out of the US, and I instantly recognized the picture as would everyone I know (then again, I'm not a millenial).

That was my thought too. I remembered feeling angry a few years ago, when in my home country a baby died from blunt trauma and it was found out during the autopsy that he had been abused practically from birth. It could only have been either his father or his mother because he was never alone with anyone else. The…

NAAAAH, you slim the gigot sleeves of this dress over my cold dead body.

I'm a sucker for gigot sleeves. Sue me.

Um, no. I wouldn't refuse to have my child in the hospital because an overzealous person might call the cops on me (!!!) if I miss a well-baby appointment. It sucks big time, true, but having a dead baby because I didn't make it on time to the hospital should anything go wrong would suck so, much. harder. So, hospital…

Gynecomastia (aka "man boobs") is not "a rare medical condition". It's actually quite common.

Same. He's handsome, but he's chilling and I'm not attracted to him one bit. I'd rather have sex with, say, Bill Bailey.

It never happened to me either, but I absolutely understand how it can happen to the best, most caring parent, Perhaps you lack a little empathy to get that too.

"Back in the days", most people didn't have their babies rear-face in the back seat, which makes them safer but also much easier to forget when you're in autopilot mode. I'm sure things like that did happen, though, albeit perhaps not as much.

Smacking a toddler? That's completely idiotic. He'll only understand that hitting is acceptable since Mommy/Daddy does it — you just have to hit someone weaker. Doesn't mean you can't do anything. What worked well with my son was telling him in a stern voice that it was not acceptable and then removing myself from the…

At first sight I thought it was a reference to Annie Hall

Why, yes. Yes, you are. Is there anyone unaware of this simple fact of life?

I have a huge problem with unexpected physical contact, especially if it's rough and not followed with excuses. Which is why I hate arm-bashing attendants with the fire of a thousand suns. And as a self-declared expert in arm-bashing attendants, I can confidently say that their noxiousness is not correlated to their…

It's cupcakes that are crazy! A non-filled cake with a huge glop of frosting on top is anything but appealing. Cupcakes look like someone really drunk or high tried to make a normal cake and just thought it was a good idea at the time.

"most European nations, Germany included, are far less racially diverse than we are": that's quite a blanket statement. Someone raised in a city like Paris, London or Munich is likely to have had a *lot* more exposure to different races and cultures than someone from, say, North Dakota. I agree with Krumble about the…

"Do you know what IQ tests measure? Ability to do well in an IQ test": LOL. When asked "what is intelligence?', Binet is said to have facetiously replied: "that's what my tests measure!"
