This is interesting. I discovered the joys of making one’s own pasta about two years ago. Now, I am not a foodie at all, but I actually just instinctively followed these rules. If I’m making a cacio e pepe or carbonara, I will of course make my own pasta. But I will buy dried pasta for a thick meaty sauce. It is just…

Or do what everyone else does: shake their hand with great enthusiasm and say “Hey YOU” and if they seem to respond, then just act like you always knew who they were. If you get no response, they just think you are really friendly!

JJ Fad could NOT have been in 1998.

“but in reality I looked like a fancy pirate.”

In that all of the males are all ruled by a single queen bee?

Wait, I never could figure out what the birds and bees mean, precisely. But according to your graphic, Birds are women and bees are men? Is this really the story? Because that is insane and confusing.

I don’t lust after men who aren’t my boyfriend EXCEPT for adorable Andy Cohen. The faces he’s making while Sonja is talking...so adorable.

Your girlfriend is probably a very patient person. 

Generic vs. Feminine? Oh, I get it. Masculine is the unmarked, universal category. Cool!

It is a visual verb. Imagine me telling you how tired your wardrobe is. Imagine me clapping after every word as I say “You need a new look!” My clapping is emphatic and it demands your attention.

The dark-haired one on the left. For sure.

“For most people, visiting San Francisco’s Museum of Modern Art isn’t exactly a casual trip. I’ve lived in San Francisco 6 years and have only made it once.”

But (emoji clapping) who (emoji clapping) is (emoji clapping) Joseph (emoji clapping) Daniel (emoji clappting) Hudek IV (emoji clapping)???

1. She actually did decide that it was ok to tell her slave-like dog who is pulling her to go after koalas. She said those words.

“Perry is a role model to so many young people, and this just destroys all the good work we do to try to encourage people not to let their dogs come into contact with koalas.”

You have not told us if they are hot or not. This is a big factor in my judgment of their lifestyle. Please take this into consideration?

I almost completely agree with you. But if, for a second, one can try to see it from her point of view (which is not one’s responsibility), I think she is saying “I know racism is everywhere, but SEXISM? Wow, it is just as prevalent.” The difference is that she may not have INTENDED to equate racism and sexism; only…

Wow, no cocaine jokes. I miss Gawker.

Some of us never thought the show was good to begin with. It was so didactic. So overdetermined. So trite. And it was so cynical of the writers to think that they could ever pass off this trite show as a culturally relevant event. The Cynicism was the Event, not the show. cf. “Girls.”

I think that you are both right. But I also think that this is why she was the boss: she selects words that mean all of the things you think they can mean. “Yes, honey, don’t worry so much.
