I’m sorry, I wasn’t aware of the Ryan Adams-being-angry-about-Bryan Adams joke. I’m also an overprotective Canadian.

Same. He’s also a photographer now. So saccharine ballads and portraits?

This is Ryan Adams, not Bryan Adams.

Starred for the painfully accurate Rachel Green reference.

Is there anyone else with skin conditions on the thread tonight? I’ve been experiencing worse psoriasis flare-ups than usual, which I always find upsetting and it becomes cyclical (am stressed, psoriasis gets worse, am further stressed because psoriasis is worse) and it’s reminding me of middle-school when it was the…

I’m currently menstruating too and I’m having much worse menstrual symptoms than I normally do. I’m uncomfortable but mostly confused. I tried taking Midol and I just started experiencing dizziness, in addition to the nausea, headache, and cramping. I feel like I’m back in middle-school or high-school and I don’t know…

Jacq the Stripper’s “Beer is for Dad’s” comment summarizes my feelings about it.

It looks like the moustaches my male-peers grew in high school in support of testicular awareness month.

Apa is a Winter masquerading as an Autumn, and I’m sorry, it just doesn’t work!

I agree that music video was in poor taste (and likely would have benefitted with a lot of contextualization - i.e. she created it specifically for her Japanese audience) but it wasn’t actually disapproved of in Japan.

I’m starting my master’s degree next week and I’m moving to a new location in a few days. Any recommendations for settling into a new apartment and a new city?

My parents split-up when I was about six or seven after being together for fifteen years. They were able to maintain a casual friendship after the divorce which made growing up with 50/50 custody so much easier. Try to be as kind to one another as you can because your child will pick-up on anything different. I know…

I’ve never liked being groped at it public either (by anyone) but I don’t know if that applies to everyone.

It’s basic but I would like to invoke“if you wouldn’t hug your grandmother like that” you’re likely hugging your acquaintance wrong. There shouldn’t be wondering hands when you’re hugging a stranger (or anyone who you aren’t romantically involved with).

My peers and I mostly switched from satellite/cable TV to streaming services/YouTube by the end of high school and in early university. We’re Class 2013.

That’s terrible. I had an older man who tried to “help me up the stairs” in one of our outbuildings by putting his hand on my ass. That was annoying to say the least.

I still can’t imagine having an interaction with someone bad enough that leaving the building and returning to the building with acid would seem like a sensible idea. I hope you co-worker was okay.

There’s something particularly horrible about being yelled at by a stranger when you didn’t intend to cause them any harm.

A response like that requires more of an explanation.
