I put a plastic top from a quart container loosely on top of whatever container I’m melting the butter in. The butter still explodes but it doesn’t knock the top off so everything stays contained and my microwave stays clean. 

They released the soundtrack on vinyl recently, so that’s kinda surprising!

Good luck dealing with the payment processors! They’ve been on an absolute roll lately. The clips stores etc have all come out with massive lists of newly banned terms. You can’t say the word “aroma” anymore in case you’re talking about poppers, which are perfectly legal IRL. It’s wild!

The death penalty makes perfect sense if you trust your government completely, which only an idiot would do.

Mac & cheese is shockingly fuckupable. When it’s good it’s literally one of the best things in the world but when it’s bad it’s depressing. 

Having worn latex gloves a lot in my life, albeit never for inserting or removing a tampon I can’t imagine there’s any issue. But also I don’t think I generally got blood on my hands while using tampons? Like maybe a little if it was super super heavy but not otherwise.

I remember hating high-waisted pants when they first came into style — which is hilarious, since I don’t think I’ve worn any other type of pants in many years now. The pants I owned in high school had zippers about an inch and a half long and frankly some underwear showing was nearly unavoidable unless you nixed the pa…

I will never understand the phenomenon of people who take time to post “who???” or “why do we care??” comments on articles about celebrities. If I don’t know or care about the person being covered I simply scroll past. Perhaps you could explain it to me?

Oh if only we all had your super power, to be able to gaze into the heart of complete strangers and determine their true gender identity. Honestly that sounds like a pretty cool gift. I bet it must be fun to walk around knowing which celebrities are secretly trans. (LOL except let’s not kid ourselves, your…

They switched to online school due to bullying before they met Doug.

I can’t wait to ditch the masks, but I do intend to wear them when I’m feeling sick and have to go out in public. That just seems like the polite thing to do? Most of the friends I’ve discussed this with have agreed that post-pandemic they’ll be masking up while sick.

This comment made me panic-google whether or not I’ve been accidentally poisoning myself with fish sauce that’s been left out for months. Fortunately, you don’t need to keep it in the fridge unless you use it very infrequently and it will stay fine for ages! In the fridge it’ll keep more or less indefinitely. 

My only defense of cereal is that some varieties are pretty good eaten dry. I have despised cereal with milk since childhood. 

Atlanta strip clubs are open. If his plan were to target sex workers then hitting one of those would have likely been more efficient. There are also plenty of brothels/massage parlors staffed by women of varied races and yet he chose three different Asian spots. You’re reaching. 

According to a survivor he was yelling about “killing all Asians” during it, so.

I’m not sure it’s possible to NOT be irrationally afraid of stranger danger when you’ve had that fear programmed into you since childhood. I do think it’s unreasonable to not inspect that fear, how rational it actually is and most importantly the purpose it serves — especially when you are trying to make a thoughtful…

That Charlotte Shane essay linked is absolutely one of the best bits of writing about violence against women I’ve ever read and I’d encourage everyone to read it.

I absolutely don’t get it. Kathy Hochul seems like the exact type of moderate #girlboss the blue MAGA types tend to love. 

I don’t get the blue MAGA types defending him, at all. I guess they liked that he looked cool compared to Trump and don’t like seeing his fall from grace and “saving face” is somehow more important than nursing home deaths or harassed women? The lieutenant governor who would replace Cuomo is also a democrat and seems…

I pick up the Shell House meyer lemon hard seltzer every time I visit. It’s $5.99 for a six-pack and miles better than every hard seltzer I’ve tried that isn’t Willie’s. The Boatswain IPA and DIPA aren’t quite as impressive but they’re even cheaper and still very drinkable.
