I think this is something that has been screwed up in the United States by countless picky, irritating diners claiming completely fictitious food sensitivities. I have a severe allergy to dairy. I ask questions in restaurants and am extremely selective in what I order, but I don’t blame the servers for struggling…

BMI is meant to be a measurement of public health.  It has value applied across a population of patients.  It has very obvious limits applied to an individual. That doesn’t make it a useless measurement, but it does mean it’s silly for a doctor to emphasize it in an exam.

He did, past tense. I’m in this for the mind blowing sex. He’d been deprived for literally years, and I’m reaping the benefits.

My current boyfriend is married and separated. Men who are already broken in are better partners. They’re comfortable with the female body, they want you around all the time, they brush their fucking teeth. A million thank yous to the first wives out there.

He is seriously the fucking best.  

Answer: nothing, who cares, because no person under 80 has cable tv and actually watches real television anymore. My parents are in their 70s, and they cut the cord. Anyone younger than that who’s channel flipping is seriously out of touch. There is so much prestige television out there that you could spend all day…

I think you have perfectly summed this up. Christ. When this whole political period is over - and please let that be soon - we will collectively be dumber for it.

I’m confused. Is he saying he doesn’t understand that his Mexican heritage makes him a person of Latino ethnicity but actually says nothing about his race? He can be white and Mexican. He can also be white and non-Hispanic but happens not to be. What a dolt.

That is so fucking crazy.

Whatever they’re doing, it isn’t studying. Increasingly, the best schools in the country have to grant extra “points” to the admission applications of young men. They have worse grades, worse SAT scores, worse extracurricular records. They’re riding the last wave of millennia of entitlement.

I assume this means that everyone in this particular town did terribly in high school Spanish way back when. I’m not sure how their shitty study habits are supposed to make me feel empathetic.

Hehe.

I cannot disagree that a shelter is a terrific if not the most terrific place to find your new furry family member. There are animals out there that need loving homes. But while the late 19th century and the 20th century saw the development of a lot of silly dog “breeds,” I see nothing wrong with responsibly…

Bunch of bullshit. There’s a principle in Christianity known as supersession; the laws in the Old Testament - ALL of them - no longer apply. This includes “omg, gay people are scary.” Homophobia has no place in Christianity and is indefensible theologically.

Great podcast shoutout! Loved that episode.

Thank you. What the actual fuck? There’s probably an Episcopal church across the street.

She sounds like an active and talented child, and I’m sure you are very proud! I’ll just reiterate that if you find yourselves attending a wedding, funeral, baptism, Nutcracker performance, out of town Easter service, whatever, there may be excellent children’s consignment shops nearby full of gently used semi-formal…

A man who shows up on an airplane expecting his female partner to provide his travel entertainment as though she were his mommy is a garbage significant other. Obviously violence is not the answer, but a swift end to the relationship would be.

That’s false, of course. Kids dress up for church, for temple, for seasonal ballet performances, for piano recitals, for funerals, for family photos, for their older sibling’s graduation, etc ad nauseam. But it sounds like you have decided that your child does not need any semi-formal or formal clothing in her…

And I’ve no doubt my daily mistake average far surpasses yours! I’m so sorry if that came across bitchy. I’m passionate about the breed, and they are rare and often misidentified outside of Europe. Forgive me.
