I agree with your cork advice - but it is a very de-bunked myth that we only taste those 4 flavours, and only with our tongues. Wine snobbery is just silly. If someone loves a $60 bottle, great. If they love a $6 bottle, also great. Drink what you enjoy!

Yeah, seems like it is usually late teens/early 20s white dude-bros.

Well, most educated women now just forgo periods. We can use pills or hormone IUDs. Periods are not necessary. For long-term space travel, this is already planned for and dealt with.

As a high school teacher myself, I would simply ignore her. From the other accounts I have read, she wasn’t doing anything disruptive, nor making noise. I would carry on with my class and ignore her.

Exactly! I’ve been a teacher for almost 20 years now. Real adults know, or learn how to, DE-escalate situations and defuse them from becoming confrontational or power-struggles. I’m guessing all/most of these “school resource officers” in the US have zero training or education on dealing with young people.

I read on another site that she was drunk; drunk enough to be sent home from work under suspicion of being on drugs.

This is why, almost to individuals, a family falls apart when the mom, grandma dies. Men suck at most parts of being caring.

I sort of get it; if a woman has fake and/or long nails, they often keep super glue handy to fix up a nail.

Yep, tourists are dumb/want familiar food, and especially so for young ones. On a recent class trip to Moscow, on a cold, snowy evening, the other teacher chaperone and I were seeking a small borscht or other hot food cafe/stall. All the kids found a Baskin-Robbins, and went straight for ice-cream. Weird.

Asian hi-so bitches are horrible. They take delight in being horrible.

That baby is seriously, incredibly, cute!

Wow. It’s not just the topics, it is the fact they are separating boys and girls for any reason. Ridiculous.

Oven-baking bacon at home is all the best way - I’ll never go back to the frying pan. Line the tray with foil, and you also have no real mess to clean up. The bacon cooks while you can work on the omelets or pancakes or whatever. :)

They have actually done quite a lot of brain studies in the US. Religious people have genereally lower intelligence and lower critical thinking skills.

How is this bag of shite filing her posts? Writing long-hand, delivering by post, hoping someone will have a new-fangled com-pue-tor with the internets to type it for her? Does she draw her water from the river? Will she (hopefully) die by 43? Are her teeth missing and/or black? Is she making sure she does not access…

How surprising that the guy didn’t do ANYTHING.... What a tool

I can’t tell if I was/am a bitch or not in my situation. I had a child 3 years before I got married to my husband (and father of our child). When we got married, we werer both in university, working, and just barely were covering our monthly expenses. My mother told me I “ruined her life” at least once a week since I…

What a horrible “bride”. More lik a bitch.

I agree! I really hope I’ve never been a bad/stupid customer, but since BCO cam along, it’s like I go out of my way to be nice and patient and understand that servers have to put up with a lot of crap every day.

Yeah, she had an idea that she couldn’t shake. Also, until the story progressed more, I was picturing ice cream that had honeycomb CANDY crumbled in it - that sugar/caramel stuff that poofs all up when you add baking soda. In the UK (Where the story is set) and in Canada, that kind of candy is called honeycomb.
