Marie Antoinette and Louis XVI fascinate me because they were basically set up for failure. They inherited not only a ton of debt, but a court culture that was designed to isolate and control them, which helped create the image of being so out of touch with the reality of the people. The absolute monarchy that France…

It's true- Ginny gets a boyfriend, only noticed because Harry realizes he's developing feelings for her. Cedric Diggory is going out with Cho Chang? Only noticed because Harry likes Cho. Fred and George are probably banging every other girl in the school- doesn't affect Harry, doesn't get brought up. Dude, look how…
I always wondered that too, about the knocked up students. I mean, the stoners are easy, they literally have access to hundreds of different herbs, you're telling me none of them don't get you high as fuck? I'm pretty sure that's what Fred and George Weasley spent a lot of time doing. But the pregnant students? Maybe…
And honestly- since the story is told from the perspective of a self centered teenager who's trying to figure shit out about his own life- it makes sense that Dumbledore's relationships are unexplored. Harry's relationship with Dumbledore is intentionally made so that he doesn't really know much about him personally.…
Yeah, I was always under the impressing that North and South Korea spoke the same language, minus the differences that developed due to region before the war and politics after the split. I'm pretty sure the language both countries use qualifies as Korean even with those differences (like you said about English in…
And... I read that in H Jon Benjamin voice
Oh, I know at least one lady who actually does like it and she drags people with her.
You are correct. It's popular in Minnesota because of the large Scandinavian immigration to here. You should listen to your friends.
You're missing the #1 Christmas Food that Should Not Exist though. Lutefisk. It is evil and must be destroyed, and yet, is popping up in all of the grocery stores here and people I work with are going to Lutefisk dinners. Willingly. I don't understand! This food couldn't have been left in the old countries? It's…
Egg nog is basically mucus with nutmeg. It is nasty shit and my husband has drank a gallon of it by himself in the past week. Who the fuck actually decided to create it? Like, just drink bourbon or rum or booze of choice that people add to it to make it bearable.
Oh, when I applied to mostly public schools (partially for cost, but mostly because the major I wanted was best at public schools) people scoffed. Literally scoffed. My best friend refused to apply to public schools because her parents had such distain for them and ended up majorly in debt and at a school that had a…
tangentially tho i saw three ladies in hijabs with their phones stuck into the scarf against their cheeks and i was quietly like OH GOD YOU FUCKING HANDS FREE GENIUSES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! but i am assuming my reaction is not a prominent one.
Mine either- although, when he's done up for Mad Men, especially in the first season, looks disturbingly like my grandfather who my mother described as "yeah, he was totally hot when your dad and I started dating" when I found a picture of him in his navy uniform circa Korean War and called my mom to comment on the…
I second the Tarte- it's great and good if you have sensitive eyes or wear contacts.
I think it's part of their corporate rules that they have to say something like that. I can't remember where I was reading it, but I'm pretty sure they have very specific responses to things.
Honestly, I liked it in college, when my options were dorm food and Chick-fil-a (we could get it with our meal car on campus) and sometimes I just really wanted some fucking chicken nuggets. I would also pretty much not taste them with the amount of sauce I used with them. Now, as an adult without a meal plan? I…
Yeah, Jourdan Dunn kinda looks like Naomi said "hey, mind if my kid sis joins in on this photoshoot? She's thinking about modeling," instead of her being there because she's a legit model in her own right. Which, she is, it's just that Naomi is one of the top in the industry for a reason and has been for a while now.
I just saw a picture and have to agree with you (I have never paid much attention to boxing or Hayden Panettiere).
Right? My mother is all of 5'2", was super duper tiny when she was pregnant with me, pretty much exactly like Hayden there, and there was no room for me to go but out. She looked just like that. I was just over 6lbs at birth, not even a big baby. My step-brother's mother is over 6ft and didn't even look pregnant when…
