You learn about that when you study economics too. Basically, the more you pay for something, the higher you will value it. Prime example is diamonds. They’re just pretty rocks, and most people who wear diamonds couldn’t tell a “high quality” diamond from a “low quality diamond”, or even a diamond cut cubic zirconia.…

I was going to sleep with him anyway, but he had so many weird hangups, I had to end it before my patience with him ended.

The term “Dandelion children” was coined by author Ami Lönnroth in 1987. The original meaning was kids who had parents who were mentally unstable and/or had addiction problems, and experienced abuse and neglect but grew up to be (mostly) well-adjusted adults anyway. 

I wonder what thousands of people "liking" every stupid thing you post online does to a developing brain?

I dated a guy who wouldn’t let me sit on his bed if I had taken the subway over, because he didn’t want subway germs from my pants on his duvet. Weirdo. May he fall hopelessly in love with a woman who sits in short shorts on the subway

Passive-aggressive jabs at your ex on social media is not a good look

Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP) is a fatal complication of epilepsy

He’ll probably insist that it’s named after him too: “Trumpleave”. I’m sure he hates that people call the ACA “Obamacare” and we all know he loooooves putting his name on everything

Vanity yes, taste and good judgement no.

Or happen to have someone on staff who does research on chicken muscle proteins. Everyone in STEM collaborates with people all over the world. If you contact a random biochemistry department at a random university asking if they have anyone that can identify chicken proteins, you might get a reply like “no, no one…

My kid loved dog toys when he was younger. They are made for chewing and squeak, perfect! I also used dog poop bags to quarantine particularly bad diapers instead of diaper bags, because as you say, everything for babies is marked up. Some friends even had their baby sleeping in a dog bed in the crib

I work as an admin at a university, we send samples between universities for testing because our labs do different things. Maybe that particular university had some specialised equipment or a researcher who's on expert at…

That's beautiful. You don't suppose your bff would want to make one for Jason Derulo?

No one cares about your boner

She was a model the same way some people are writers. They’ve never published anything or even finished a novel, but they’ve written words and tell people they're writers because they wish they were. She had her photo taken and told people she was a model because she wished she was.
