I’m a fatalist, so when my number’s up, it’s up. Until then, I’ll take my chances and let my immune system do its job. Obviously, if something is truly vile I’m not touching it, but I can’t imagine going through life terrified of germs. Wash your hands, carry hand sanitizer if you must, and get on with it.

That one STILL GIVES ME NIGHTMARES. 

Someone downthread mathed it out and came up with 61 pounds, which I will happily argue is quite near to 58 pounds, if one is estimating. Therefore, the quick & dirty math Kate did is perfectly legitimate for an article of this type. It’s not a scientific paper, it’s entertainment journalism and precision is not…

It’s almost like the word “around” in that sentence didn’t clue you in to the fact that it was just an estimate. Weird how English works sometimes.

The Starbucks app used to ask me if I wanted to tip, but it doesn’t do that anymore.

And Axe Body Spray.

I read that as “remove them from the planet” and I’m A-OK with that option, too.

Would it count if he were baited into it? Not that it’s at all difficult to do that, because I’m 100% sure he could be goaded into doing it on video with very little effort. 

I go to mine. My high-school experience was pretty decent, all things considered. I live 400 miles away from my hometown and don’t get back there to visit as often as I’d like so it’s nice to go and see folks.  Our 10th was epic, the 20th was moreso, and this year is our 25th so who knows what kind of shenanigans…

I’m 43 and refer to people of any gender as “dude.”

I am a longtime reader and supporter of Bitch Magazine, but even THEY were sending emails yesterday, all “we don’t know how this is gonna go, but you still need to support independent feminist media so send us some money!”

When a man does it, it’s OK. When a woman does it, she’s “emotionally unstable” and “out of control.”

And cocaine. I would bet big money that there was plenty of cocaine.

Trouble is, WE DON’T KNOW WHICH ONES THEY ARE.

If she spent some time carefully assessingher memories, she might find she shares more in common with Ford and Ramirez than she thought.

What’s-His-Name spent nearly 20 years in a job that made him like this. Earlier this year he finally got fed up and found something new that is like night and day compared to his last position. He’s still adjusting to the idea that he doesn’t need to work 14-hour days AND bring work home AND have his phone within…

I usually dislike the word “triggered” but for all of us who have been triggered by all of this, for all of us who have been re-living our trauma or using it as an example when some man says “I don’t believe her,” I see you, I hear you, I believe you, and I know.

I did WW in the early ‘00s which was the beginning of the points system (I think). I liked that idea as a concept, but in practice, it was clunky and difficult to do unless you were keeping strict tabs on your portion size.

My mom is one of 9, my dad is one of 10. I have A LOT OF FIRST COUSINS.

Kate Mara is a Gelfling from The Dark Crystal. She’s disconcerting-looking.
