I actually heard an interview with him yesterday and the interviewer asked what he thought about having to do so many interviews. His response was basically "it's my fucking job..." I would seriously love to hear his response to that question, because I imagine it's something along the lines of "I don't even fucking…

This is what I do. I tend to read the top couple of reviews and the bottom couple of reviews. If the bottom ones are stupid complaints, then I ignore them entirely, especially if they're about service, since that's a thing that varies day to day, server to server, and on the entitlement of the reviewer. One of my…

My sister in law just recently went on a rant that Obama hasn't done anything. I had to remind her of a) all of the above and b) that just because she doesn't like the things that have been done doesn't mean he hasn't done anything. Also, she is SUPER anti-union and is a teacher, so basically refuses to work in public…

That was the rumor for our free health center condoms in college, but they weren't actually as effective as if you just went and bought the same brand because they were more often than not expired. But straight up, anyone can check that and Planned Parenthood is easily more responsible than a health center.

I have one grandmother who will not go out without a full hairdo, full accessories, etc and one who was a total beatnik (like, used to hang out in Greenwich Village and took us on a tour of all the clubs she and my grandfather went when they were dating) and basically views her hair as "oh I should brush it shouldn't…

Antique stores- a friend of mine found very similar lamps in the middle of nowhere Indiana antique stores.

I'll join you in blaming my astigmatism. It gets blamed for a lot tbh.

I've heard the same thing. It literally makes no difference with or without glasses though, so who knows.

As someone who sees it as white and gold, I'm pretty sure that it's a sign that my eyes are as fucked up as I thought.

The Fat Squirrel is amazing too.

Yeah, his 100,000 peaceful teacher protesters are definitely ISIS and all of the extremist groups combined. Wisconsin is basically a war zone now. Minnesota and Illinois are amping up security on the borders to keep those union members out and worried about a full out invasion. They might bring cheese and New Glarus…

Well and it helps as he tries to dismantle UW's budget that if the quality of the school declines at least he can say "Hey we're the safest."

I told my husband that Duluth Packs were becoming a fashion thing and he started laughing because he associates them with like Boundary Waters camping and hardcore outdoors because their camping/hunting/general outdoors stuff is the best.

I want to live in the Parks and Rec universe. I lived in Muncie, Indiana for a chunk of my young adulthood and Pawnee is definitely the cartoon cousin of Muncie, down to the map, which is literally a map of Muncie flipped upside down. The thing is- Muncie would have been a much better place with Leslie Knope. I mean,…

Join the ugly cry party. Bawling over here.

I lost it. I watched it this morning overtired and stressed and on my period and was bawling. Like ugly crying. I would have been just normal weepy with those other factors gone.

I seem to recall people in Wales being annoyed that my credit card was swipe, not tap, so maybe it is a not common in the US thing. Disclaimer, I was in Wales 4 years ago, so technology might be catching up here and my card is behind.

Yes. My parents had very few problems taking us to R rated films when I was a kid, depending on what they were and why they were rated R, since some movies get ratings just because of nudity or because they say fuck more than three times, which are not things my parents find particularly objectionable. They wouldn't…

Not the case for the one movie I ever had trouble getting in to- Brokeback Mountain. We were all over 17, so OK for rated R movies, half the group was over 18, but my friend's sister couldn't get in with us because she was 16. We snuck her in and eyerolled.

Agreed. I'm a late 80s baby. I had a computer at home my entire childhood, but was in the minority of my friends until 4th grade or so. I didn't use it until I was about 7 or 8 anyway, there wasn't anything that interesting on it for a younger kid. I associate cellphones with high school- which was 2003 when I first…
