How is this a “comeback”? She released a very popular album a few years ago, and now she’s releasing more music a short-ish time later (a few years is not a long time). That’s not a comeback. A comeback would be if she had been wildly popular like a decade or two ago, got into some bad business with drugs or whatever…

Err, pretty sure nowhere in the definition of singing is there anything about dancing. Good dancers may not know how to sing...this just makes zero sense unless it’s a disguised fat shame.

So having sex with someone a few times means they don’t have to consent later?

The fact that he doesn’t seem to have considered what the women think of this (something Ms. Zheng below notes) is probably an insight into why he made such a proposal.

“Now, we will all mate the way the most logical race does - the Vulcans of course - every 7 years in the ritual of Pon Farr. For many this will mean…

What on earth is insane about expecting that someone will be able to figure out your fairly obvious body language, and obtaining some form of verbal consent?

I used to be black on this subforum. I have never been black on the Jezebel main site (I’m not surprised - I’m not frequent enough a commenter there, but I am here).

And again how’d I end up back in the greys after being black for so long?

I didn’t have the ingredients on hand for this, so I made a modified version with infused thyme liquor (yes, I had Kaoliang liquor infused with thyme but not fresh thyme...don’t ask), Beefeater, black peppercorn, sugar and a dash of bitters and gave it a good shake with some ice.

Doesn’t look gory or scary at all, but…

Immanuel Kant was a real pissant who was very rarely stable...

...oh. Wait. Nevermind. I’ll show myself out.

Or they’ll say “oh, wow, it sounds like she really means that - what a heartless witch! She doesn’t love her children! BURN HER! BURN HER WITH FIRE!”

lose-lose, really

I love this and would buy it with faux fur (not real fur obviously)

I like the boots. Only the boots.

is it so bad that I kind of like this?

“i eat children, also, i’m a robot”

also WTF, I wasn’t in the greys before but now I am? What on earth did I deserve to get that?

I thought potato chips and sour cream & onion dip.

I feel like this isn’t good enough to submit by email, so I’m commenting with it here only. Re McDonald’s, expats in Asia know that in certain Asian countries (India, China yes; Japan, Taiwan no) you bargain for just about everything.

Note the “just about”. You can usually get cheaper hotel rooms, goods in markets and…

It definitely is a bao bun - it even says “steamed” in chinese and is shown in a little cartoon bamboo steamer.

I really do want gua bao now.

Yep! It looks like a Westernized gua bao. There’s a store in Taipei that makes something similar, like fried chicken gua bao with Western toppings, or a mix of toppings. Not surprising - the guy who made baos famous in the US is Taiwanese.

My guess is someone in a corporate office decided “Chinese-Western Fusion Burger” didn’t sound as good so they decided to change the English. I don’t know why they didn’t go with “East-West Fusion Burger” (the closest idiomatic translation) because it’s fine in English, but in Chinese if you write that literally it…
