Looks are deceiving.

If you’ve got discerning taste, you also wouldn’t be ordering from Boston Pizza.

This is half real (I was very good at baseball/softball as a youth) and half projection but you know what? Confidence is half the battle.

This sounds exceptionally interesting, thank you for posting about it.

I hit this wall too. I just took a big pile of sci-fi out from the library in response, hoping it’ll be a good palate cleanser. Gimme some interplanetary political intrigue!

Yes!! This is entirely correct. 

The best is how little he gives a fuck about 99% of the weird anecdotes people tell him after the first commercial break. I went looking for a youtube example, but honestly, look up ANY OF THEM.

I’m turning 30 shortly and I do remember (bad) teachers I had in high school explaining that you just had to ‘write in your own words’ to avoid plagiarism. (It’s not technically wrong but it’s pretty woefully incomplete, as far as explanations go.) Still, I got the right understanding of it at some point!!

This is an escalation of a behavioral pattern I see often with the university students I teach. I’m not sure what failed at the university and high school levels, but students are indeed genuinely confused about what constitutes plagiarism. Those passages Rich selected re: ‘respectable women’ are a great example -…

The fact that the material is taught does not guarantee that the material is learned. Unfortunately.

Whattttt how delightful!!! Both of them have grieved so much and so publicly that I’m so happy they’ve found happiness in each other.

I agree with you, but man is Grimes making it increasingly hard to argue in her favour. She can be super right about some issues and super tone deaf/misguided (at best!) regarding her Tesla/union related comments now.

I’ve encountered almost everything you’ve described here over the past few months and I couldn’t agree more. Last November, I took up a gym habit which specifically included a bunch of weight training because I read some scary shit about rates of bone density loss, and that weight training can help reduce it. Being…

It’s the yellow one..... “Volum’ Express The Colossal”. I got a sample size one in a combo pack, so I don’t know if maybe the full size one is different somehow, but to me the formula/effect/fragrance are very similar to Diorshow. 

I had a couple of brief brushes with would-be recruiters (Scientology, and a really weird/culty MLM that I’ve never heard of since) and neither of them had much time for me. I remember thinking ‘wait, what?’ and asking a lot of questions, leading to a moment where something VISIBLY shifted behind the eyes of both…

This generally makes sense to me - you can upsell a fancier/more expensive version of most make-up products, but mascara goes off so quickly that buying it at a premium isn’t a priority for me or the majority of women I know. (Also, there’s a Maybelline that is gunning hard to be a dupe for Diorshow and I think I…

Frig, you’re the real champ. I was gonna roll in here to talk about Quetico Park but nah. 30% DEET Deep Woods Off “Sportsman” spray is the only option (or the Shoppers knockoff).

You make them look that wet (and that pale) by adding a whole bunch of milk. It’s very dumb and bad.

My family has made a lot of scrambled eggs that have extra liquid like that. They look like that because I guess everyone up near the Arctic Circle (we’re Finnish, from v. close to Russia) lost their fucking minds and thought that scrambled eggs need about as much MILK as they do egg.

There was a very popular ‘clothing optional’ beach in the city where I used to live, but I would say that maybe 25-30% max were actually nude. Most people would go there (including me) because the other nearby beaches had so. many. kids. and way more cops. Both dogs and drinking were technically against the rules, so…
