I’m a high school teacher in Toronto and the vaping is pretty out of control in my school. While I absolutely don’t condone testing students, we are struggling with how best to convey that vaping indoors is inappropriate and bad for their health. It’s worrying to me that smoking was becoming a non-issue in schools…

Both of these ingredients have their uses. I am never going to make aioli with garlic powder, but for a spice rub I am on board.

Lemon juice! Rub on fingers and wash. I’m with you on the garlic on hands smell.

I’m sure they'll just find some keywords and call it socialism. 

I guess the boycotts during the civil rights movement were a bad call right. 

I support the boycott. I know that it will harm good people, but boycotts do that. We need to make a stand; even if it hurts. What’s the alternative? Let them coast along with no real consequences?

Good lord, THANK YOU. I was wondering if I was the only one. This kind of touching is, to my knowledge, socially acceptable. Like there’s no doubt in my mind that the women he’s posing with are touching his back. There would be nothing weird or pervy about him touching their backs. Also I personally do not understand…

The important question is whether he would respect me enough to touch me if I requested it.

Counterpoint: I do want to be touched by Keanu Reeves.

The benefits reportedly include increased blood flow and reduced muscle fatigue.

Yes, I literally asked my husband to put something away that had been sitting in the living room for several weeks. He takes it, then I find it sitting on the floor in the bedroom. He literally thought “putting it away” meant finding a different place to dump it.

My husband always gets annoyed why I care so much about frantically cleaning the house before his mom or my mom visit. You hit the nail on the head - he won’t get judged, but I will. I think it also stems from seeing my mom freak out about cleaning when I was a kid before her mom visited. At the time, I thought she…

Yup, we get along great, I’ve frequently been caught saying I prefer her to my own. She’s also a 76 year old woman with outdated thoughts on who is in charge of what in a household. I don’t think it’s that odd.

My husband’s response to housework stress is to tell me it doesn’t matter and I should just let it go.  Definitely a privilege blind spot for him.  

Yeah, I think this is maybe a situation where one person’s “gratuitous” is another person’s “unflinching and honest.”

This. I had a similar argument with a troll during the Great Gawker Troll Attack (not sure how long ago, but a group of trolls decided to post the most violent images and extreme sex-related imagery on the comment boards here. Stuff like severed heads, bombing victims and scat porn. Not sure why they started doing it…

Thank God for movies because otherwise we'd have no idea that rape was ever a problem.

I think it’s largely because it has nothing to do with us. I mean, I’m not particularly obsessed with them myself, but it’s like “look at this weird arcane shit our cousins across the pond do! How fancy and obsolete! We don’t have anybody wearing crowns, look at those sparkly crowns!” I think it’s the same impulse…

I think you’re reading too much into an isolated moment. They are wrangling three small children at an event where they know they’re on full display. And I wouldn’t expect them to be beaming at each other constantly like besotted newlyweds at this point. I’d hate to have my public interactions with my husband under…

Amy Adams is the only one I really take exception to. I just watched Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day the other night and I’d forgotten how well Adams holds her own against the powerhouse that is Frances McDormand.
