I'm not sure you understand what I was getting at. The dude in the video talks about how beer commercials show people with beers who we're led to believe are going to have sex later on, and uses this to justify the idea that "it's not rape just because she's drunk." This is so staggeringly obvious (to him, at least)…

I was realllllly excited until I got to the price tag. I guess I'll stick with my everyday miracle of turning $9 into wine at the store.

I've made a post on my blog - davidhcma.wordpress.com for those of you asking about this.

Yes. I am wondering this as well. Flagging and marking "Follow Up" only go so far and they eventually stack up over months - which the problem gets perpetuated if your email admin has a mailbox size limit...

I'd like some tips on this as well. I'm usually having to respond a dozen or more emails a day at work and I'm stuck with Outlook on our Microsoft360 account. I'm not the boss or I'd be using something altogether different.

Oh no worries. I have a friend with Celiac, and another with a bizarre psychotropic reaction to gluten, so if people tell me they can't eat it I tend to take it seriously. My concern is that twits like this woman will lead people to think that EVERYONE who says they can't eat X is like that, and they'll put a tbsp of…

Where'd You Go Bernadette was the most fun I had reading a book in a LONG time. It's my go-to recommendation for anyone who is looking for something really really good, but really really fun too.

Is her character excessively confident? I always interpreted it as bravado and humor designed to deflect attention from her insecurity. Or maybe I'm just projecting my own issues because I can't imagine anyone who is earnestly as confident as she is on the surface.

Exactly. Give a man a log, you'll keep him warm for a day. Teach a man to hack apart his home furnishings with an axe and he'll be warm for at least a week.

definitely this. I get all the eyerolls from people sometimes because I say I'm gluten intolerant (coeliac thank you very much) and have to ask all the time "does this have gluten in it?" so I'm legitimately annoyed at people who don't even need to be gluten free doing so. I will even go to the point where I will be…

I've heard that gluten-free as a trend has actually hurt those with serious intolerances because people are more likely to think you're full of it than actually suffering from anything, so they call things gluten-free that . . . aren't. This is what my genuinely gluten-intolerant friend and my probably legitimately…

Actual celiac here, totally agree with you. So many people do gf for trendiness, and it makes those of us who are actually Celiac seem insincere. Also, the diet is shit to follow correctly. The only way you could possibly follow it is if you get totally sick as a deterrent.

As an actual celiac, this horrifies me. The idea of ever doing that is unfathomable. The ideal of earting gluten by accident is scary enough.

Died for the sake of her romance occurring in the first place. Pretty hard to beat that.

Not just this overused pampered smuck

"A little thing that can turn into anything at anytime."

Because no matter how definitively we prove ourselves, women (along with everyone else who isn't a straight white male) are basically treated like off-brand men.

I am still Mrs. Husband's Name to his family. I decided to just not care.

I'm going through this right now. I'm getting married in August, and I'm keeping my last name. Everyone has an opinion on it! You're basically damned if you do, and damned if you don't, so I'm just gonna do me.
