This is usually not the best option since some subset of men will interpret you resting any part of your body on them as you expressing sexual interest. And in my experience that subset seems to have a large overlap with the guys who think their comfort is more important than letting other people sit normally. As…

Then why is it considered terribly rude in some cultures for men to sit with their legs spread apart?

I stumbled into The Quest the other night, and I can't lie, I kind of like it. I wouldn't call it medieval so much as fantasy LARP with cameras, though. It doesn't seem to pretend its historically accurate at all. But I enjoy the sincerity of most of the people on it, they're super into the theme for the most part.…

shoegal I just have to say - I did your job except for an airline (so I guess a similarly hated industry) and you are AWESOME for being helpful and patient despite all the bullshit I know those in that position face! Thanks for the info!

Someone intentionally got a tattoo they think says bitch???

Question for you, since you seem quite knowledgeable - if you stop replacing your phone through the subsidized options and just let your contract run out so you're going month to month is there risk of losing unlimited somehow?

Someone is lying to you because I got an android phone just last year and still have my unlimited data. Well, either that or they've made up another bullshit 'policy' in just the past year...

I don't know about Europe in general, but I know that in Eastern Europe it's a staple and if can be hard to get a salad that isn't mayo based. It also seems super popular with the Northern Europeans I know, who won't eat fries without it and do the mayo salad thing a fair amount too.

Oh my Lord, I went there once for a friend's birthday and ordered a full salad without realizing what I was doing. The bowl it came in was HUGE, it was basically a tub of salad. I couldn't even finish half of it, and of course salads don't last long enough to really take it home. The next time I went I just ordered…

Hell, nobody leaves a wonton party wearing ANY pants. Nobody needs pants interfering with their sweet, sweet wonton gorging.

I read it as 'Your wonton partying...', and my first thought was 'fuck, I LOVE wontons!'

Cairns are found all over the world, primarily in regions where there isn't much else to help distinguish landmarks. They were and still are quite commonly used in Scandinavia to mark paths and other important sites. The Skyrim cairns are almost undoubtedly modeled after Scandinavian cairns, not American ones.

Let's be honest here, unless you follow the diets in the ladies' magazines you're going to become obese in Russia McDonald's or no. And it's worth it - sirky, shashlik, shavarma, bliny, halva, greasy soups of all varieties, xachapuri, and every weird ass corner store junk food (dill chips, flavored ketchup, cheapo…

Very cool! I had some DIY matryoshki I painted once, but my idea (Alice in Wonderland characters) was not nearly as original as this. You can buy these fairly cheaply though, so you could make your own (or pay someone with artistic talent if you're like me, I did a terrible job with mine!).

"Apparently, RFP has come under fire regarding this issue before—five years ago a white couple approached the clinic looking to use non-Caucasian sperm despite not having fertility issues to begin with."

Eh, it seems like a shitty policy overall, but I am bothered by the idea of someone who'd prioritize their child being of another race over other donor qualities. I actually know a mixed race kid who has a narcissistic mother who obsesses about his race, and let's just say the impact is not good for the kid. And let's…

I dunno man, the red flag for me the length. I can imagine myself saying similar things in a tongue in cheek manner, but this is a LOT to specify if you're just trying to create a general impression of yourself as a little different from the stereotypical mold of your generation with a wry sense of humor. At best it…

And the dog's look at that moment says distinctly, "Yeah, I know what I did, and I'll do it again if you don't watch yourself!".

As a wise soccer ref I overheard the other day said, "You've got a right to protect your junk." He was talking about not calling hand balls, but I feel like it's a good principle across the board.

Does someone you rented a room from count? When I was 18 I rented the cheapest possible room I could find, which was in the house of a guy who basically rented out every room but the living room and his kids' rooms. This meant that he slept in the living room. If I came home after dark he would invariably be drunk and…
