Do YOU follow a religion with strange dictations about airplane seats? Boy, do I have the idea of the century for you! You can actually CALL THE AIRLINE AHEAD OF TIME, I know this sounds ridiculous but stay with me, and run your request through them to avoid this altogether! What a world! Or, you know, you can keep…

Good god. I knew he could be an asshat on kitchenette but I just thought that was his shtick, not that it was calculated who he was going to insult and who he would defend. I’ve noticed before that he’d run stories that really weren’t very funny or scandalous because they were written by men in a similar bro-brusque…

Yeah, I started I want to say in September, and while the initial breakouts healed up in a few weeks it didn't stop the acne completely for months. The initial breakouts were really weird, like my skin was just DYING to create zits, then after that sloughed off I'd get a few more normal blemishes especially nearing my…

Yes, absolutely, I was trying to make that point but when I posted I had NO IDEA he had done so much other stuff! I thought some people had just dug up these blog posts, not that it was the latest in a long line of sketchy behavior. I wish I could edit but meh, I think I’ve been reasonable. Honestly, I just try to…

Well, it’s not really something that can be told in stories. She’s kinda famous, terrifying, and has high expectations in some weird directions. Once a guy steps on her tail and blows his chance, he is no longer human to her. He’s scum to be scraped off her boot and away from her daughter.

I had no idea the extent of this, I’m in awe now that I’m in front of a computer and can read other responses with more detail. I thought this was a few old racist blog posts someone found, hence my confusion initially about “exactly how current/relevant is this?” But I get it more now. I don’t think there’s anything…

“WERE YOU RAISED IN A GODDAMN K-MART?!” is my new go-to.

Yes, we should all let kneejerk reactions decide our opinions rather than asking for more information. Fairness is totally overrated.

In retrospect, they made a bigger deal out of it than it was because I was in reaction mode — I was already tired and on the verge of a panic attack over everything in my life when I went to get it filled. So when instead of giving the company line of "one a day" and smiling it off til I got my prescription back…

My mom does that to any guy I date. So they probably won’t meet my mom until the wedding, or unless they seek her out of their own accord because I’m being weird.

I was surprised yet unsurprised. I’m not sure. At least love isn’t dead?

See my other responses. I was trying to be fair. There was a lot of evidence of him being an ass that I was not aware of. I still think we should be skeptical when someone digs that far back for gold, but recent evidence (THAT I WAS NOT AWARE OF BEFORE) is plenty on its own in this case. And apparently some people are…

Sometimes you have to demand what you need if you know the problem, and go to someone else to get a solution. I have a valium prescription and if I try to get it filled at the same pharmacy even one day shy of my 90 days rx, I get barraged with questions that I am not obligated to answer by pharmacy techs. They also…

After a hellacious month working overseas during a heat wave in a country that doesn't normally use AC, my skin looked like yours in the first picture. I'd been eating really healthy in that time too, so I zilched any blame on diet. It'd been perfect before, and it wasn't responding well to anything topical no matter…

Ohhhh kay, I don’t go on groupthink unless it’s linked through so I honest to god know very little about the guy except that he writes a lot for Kitchenette. I’m trying to be fair in my mind but clearly there’s been much more going on than I’ve been aware of.

That’s fair, I genuinely don’t know much except what I just saw and to be honest I skimmed — it seemed like ignorant racist/sexist bullshit, as described. I’m trying not to jump to conclusions but now that I’ve seen other responses confirming that he’s still being a dickweed it looks pretty damning.

I like that she emphasizes the inclusiveness of all pizza topping variables. Sometimes when it’s JUST deluxe vs cheese pizza, it inspires weird internalized feelings about THINGS among those of us who might be of the veggie lover’s variety or sun dried tomato and feta, or who might have half deluxe toppings and half…

Some of these are over ten years old....is it entirely fair to phrase it as his current way of thinking? I get that it’d be clearer if he issued some kind of statement rather than just deleting everything, but by the same token, I think we all have said some dumb shit especially out of context in the last decade.

Same. I think back to how much I must have spent on food in early undergrad, when it was at its worst, and how I’d eat instead of study or do HW, then what’s the big surprise when I felt too shitty to go to class? I initiated my own recovery and transferring schools helped immensely — the same old food temptations…

My experience was exactly the same in Finland too, it's like the body shaming was just...erased. I had no issues dating there except for my time constraints, although I found the Swedes to be a little more relaxed. I could also get healthier food without having to go out of my way to get something "healthy" — I knew…
