Exactly. I'm all for alternative ending fan fic, but at least stick to the canon. UGH

Yes! I said this while watching the half time show. They both are classy dressers and give off a similar vibe. Also, their music definitely is a throw back.

Same here, but instead of MIL, it's my mother. She told me that, as a woman, it is my duty to spit out babies. CLEARLY, I am not doing my duty and am a horrible person for not wanting babies all the time.

I know many of my friends with wider hips tend to order from US online retailers and have it delivered to Korea, since the size fits better.

I hear ya. My mom went through hell during menopause and her doctors weren't very well equipped to deal with it. She was going through it before hormonal treatment was the norm, so it was not a great ride for her (pretty much debilitating symptoms for a few years before it got sorted out). I'm glad science has…

Yeah, I agree that I'm an exception but it's also disingenuous of companies to advertise a guarantee when they really can't for a lot of their shipment. Common sense for sure should play a role, but I don't think it's solely the fault of the consumer (especially since most of the one night/expedited shipping cost an…

Relevant.

People are more upset that you don't say "Merry Christmas". I have yet to hear anyone be upset for "Merry Christmas" but I've heard people getting really upset about someone saying "happy holidays". Case in point, lady who got punched for saying "happy holidays":

Procrastination is probably bad, and ordering last minute and expecting it to arrive on time is probably asking too much.

Like LesterSue said, they often claim "no budget" being the problem for the supposed backlog. But often times rape kits are just forgotten or deemed unnecessary (for good or bad reasons) by whichever law enforcement official deems it so. It's a very subjective way of dealing with rape cases and although getting a…

This is pretty much what my partner and I do. We decide which day of the week we will clean and divvy up the chores equally. That way it's no longer a "who is more tolerant of this mess" and more of a routine thing we do together.

I know... Poor Jimmy. He wishes he could be a pop star.

Haha, that's awesome. Btw, it took me the longest time to realize that "patient Sickasshit" was just an alias. I thought "wow, what an unfortunate name!"

Thank you. I'm glad you think so. :)

I went to a high school in which I (Korean-American) and a Chinese exchange student were the only Asians in the school. Was referred to as "china girl" and everyone thought that me and exchange student were siblings for pretty much the entire time I was there. We didn't even have the same last name nor did we take…

In general, for a PoC, the "where you are from" question is almost always followed up with "No, I mean, where are you really from?" It becomes racist when people don't take your answer at face value and alienate you as an outsider, even if you were born and raised in that country, even if several generations of your…

And no one is calling you evil for that. I think what people are trying to point out is that, in general, PoC tend to be wary of being asked "where are you from" because of the treatment they receive after the answer. It's great that you are willing to get to know people and reach out to them and no one is calling…

You are a good person and I wish all people were like you in regards to this issue.

I think what SillyF means that if you ask a white person where they are from, it is taken at face value but for a PoC, it is often followed up with skepticism and the most annoying question, "No, where are you really from?"

Someone who is a 2nd generation immigrant who is not a PoC would never be asked the follow up question of "No, where are you really from?". It's not as insidious as assuming someone is an evil racist. But regardless of the harmless intentions, when one emphasizes on "really", it feels like I'm being accused of lying…
