OMG - that is so rude and you handled that way more graciously than I would have.

This made me laugh out loud. Poor ex.

Doctor here - we ARE supposed to tell people who are complaining about stomach pains to quit smoking. That’s another “preventative health,” thing that is really getting pushed on us. Because a lot of people don’t come in for their annual visit, they come in when they are sick and that’s the only chance to counsel them

I am the thinnest I’ve ever been in my life right now - and the unhealthiest. I know this because I actually am a doctor. I’m not thin because I’m eating right and exercising, I’m thin because I went through a devastating life event that destroyed my appetite and stressed me terribly. My hair’s falling out, my period

The Princess Caroline episode wrecked me because I really fell for the narrative conceit they did - even though, as people pointed out, they already did it on How I Met Your Mother. I fell for it that time too and it hit me hard then as well. But it hit me harder now, as a 30 something woman who hasn’t had kids yet

No I have not and now I really want to!

I love Nicole Kidman’s Australian calmness about that giant-ass spider while her children shriek in the background.

I love The Holiday so much. When I went and saw it in theaters one of the guys sitting in front of me turned to his friend at the end and said “Independence Day was more realistic than that movie.” Which was fair, I guess. But whatever. 

I really think it’s so funny how this law only applies to people restricting women’s bodily autonomy. I want so badly for someone to push it to its logical, insane conclusion.

Ick about the people putting pedophilia in the + part of LGBTQ+. That’s horrible. And you’re right, someone choosing to be in a mlm or mlw relationship should not invalidate it (though, on a philosophical basis, I would say you didn’t choose to be bi, right? - though I guess there are people out there who are born

Political views are a choice you make. Sexual orientation and race are not.

I always thought that was the joke? That whenever things are set in the future, there’s really ridiculous technology, so they were sort of doing it winkingly.

Anyone else? You’re the only person I’m talking to about this...I think your level of distress over this is causing you to get confused. I’m not upset with you. You asked someone if you were a “monster” for describing something as a guilty pleasure. You’re obviously not, but it’s worth examining why we even describe

Yup, one of us probably is being unreasonable - and it’s probably not the one who asked you in a totally non-hostile manner to examine why you felt “guilty” about liking something.

Yup. 100%. I don’t believe in the concept of guilty pleasures. Unless we’re talking about like, sex with exes we know are bad for us or something. I’m sure Rachel Bloom could write a funny, insightful song about it!

I mean, why is it a guilty pleasure? I would say it’s smarter than 90% of the “prestige” television that’s out there, and it certainly handles mental illness better than most stuff I’ve seen.

The live show was so freaking fun. When we saw it her voice was kind of failing and gave out on the big notes, and she would just yell “Fuck!” After the second time it happened, she would run and interrupt the song so she could chug water before belting out a high note. She also completely wiped out on stage and

I’m in the process of moving away from a city I love, to a place I truly fucking hate. I’ll be stuck there for four years for my medical residency training. I did it because my boyfriend, who I thought was the love of my life, whined and whined and whined and whined about how he couldn’t give up his career for me, and

Thank you. The stupidity of this - that birth wasn’t dangerous until men got involved (?!?!) - almost made me have a rage stroke. In addition to infection, women frequently just bled out, since we didn’t know to give uterine massage and didn’t have oxytocin.
