I’m honestly as tired as the “John McCain was a terrible terrible person who no one should say nice things about” pieces as the “John McCain was last of a rare and noble breed of American statesmen” pieces. Dude died just yesterday, and in my universe, it’s still poor manners to interrupt other people’s mourning with…

Honestly, you’re contradicting yourself with making a list of standards and then immediately trashing the chore wheel.  The reality is that some people are lazy bastards whose mommies always did everything for them, and no amount of trying to find new and interesting ways to get them to be a grownup are going to work,…

What are your thoughts? I find the timing of the accusation suspicious, but also find the accusation itself troubling.

I have a rule about age gaps. Either party can not have lost their virginity before the other was born. JUST IN CASE.

I just want to know what a 19-year-old woman and a 46-year-old man talk about.

No, I don’t think it should be. I think it should just kind of go away, honestly. I don’t think it’s time for them to have a voice right now. Of course, it’s devastating to put time into a project and have it disappear. But at the same time, this movement is so powerful and so progressive that I’m just happy to be in…

Maybe we can set you up with Tab?

Yes yes yes!! I’m a mom an this drives me crazy! Sometimes I want to hang out with my friends sans kids. Hell, sometimes I want to talk about things that are not kid-related, and apparently this is a bridge too far for some of my friends.

I think this could be a good show, if written from the real Delilah’s point of view. You’re a college athlete with a steady boyfriend. You meet some guy at a party who develops a crush on you, and he turns out to be in a rock band. He writes a bland but catchy song about your pretend long-distance relationship, with…

Same with my psycho friend and her dog-child. Listen, I love dogs more than most people, but when we can ONLY pick places that allow dogs on the patio, and you’re not even paying attention because you’re too busy making sure the dog doesn’t run off/eat the food off the table/get frustrated about being on your lap/…

This. I don’t have kids and have many friends who do, and usually end up going to their place because it’s easier. But when we do plan to meet somewhere else, and we’ve established no kids, don’t be that asshole and bring your kids. I’d rather cancel, re-schedule, etc.

You said this much nicer than I did.

I had a friend who would bring her kid with her everywhere. I would make plans to meet only her at a local bar, go do whatever(even kid-friendly things), and she would show up with her kid(a real brat that throws tantrums constantly), despite her husband being at home and doing nothing. I do not have kids and I really…

Ha, yes. I was recently planning a weekend trip with two friends who both have kids. They both said they wouldn’t bring their husbands, and I was like, “Ummmm, yes bring them. We’ll need them to watch your kids while we go drink bottles of wine on the balcony.” 

Better Luck Tomorrow keeps coming up in my head, but I guess it wasn’t considered “mainstream” enough? Being Asian American, it was a pretty big deal among my friends, though I think we’re still a little torn about the actual plot.

You’d have a stronger point if you acknowledged that almost all the nail trends started with Asia women. Honestly, this is my problem with lots of cultural appropriation articles. They are “I’ve never seen it outside my group before therefore I deem it appropriation.” You’ve completely erased Asian women.
