Perhaps I'm missing something, but doesn't it seem a bit bullshit to charge for surge pricing during popular times? I can see the benefit from an economic standpoint, but it seems kind of shitty to charge that much when more people will be out drinking. But correct me if I'm wrong, as I've never used Uber and am not…

Ahhahaha. This made me laugh really hard. The picture of you guys trying to drink sangria is probably a million times better than the original.

Similar to being told as a child that Santa Claus brings presents on Christmas Eve, I'm thinking being told that police officers were there to protect us and we should always trust and respect them was also a myth.

Sweet Jesus weeping on the cross. That is terrifying. Ghost? Crazy hiker? Crazy hiker ghost?!

YES. I have no stories to share this year, but am about to board a flight to San Francisco. If anything justifies the purchase of $8.99 in flight wifi, this does!

Every year my parents' entire neighborhood goes all out decorating for Halloween. Haunted houses in garages, a DJ one family hires to play in their drive way, a house that gives out hot dogs in lieu of candy. It's AMAZING. And it's gotten so big that the last few years they've had to officially shut down the street to…

Maybe this will be an unpopular opinion, but I feel like this costume falls under a specific subset of costumes that are dreamed up intentionally to offend, shock, and get attention. It's a really disgusting idea, yes, but I'm pretty sure that's exactly why he picked it.

I had a spectacularly vivid dream last week that Taylor Swift and I were best friends and we were doing cocaine together. I've never tried cocaine and had never thought too much about Taylor, but now I feel like I know her....

Liquor that is 190 proof or higher will help break down the oils. My roommate used to keep a bottle of moonshine (origins of that unclear....??) and she'd dip her hands in it and rub it around as soon as she was done chopping the peppers up. Worked like a charm!

Oh, Christmas music is the best! There's a local station that's been starting it earlier and earlier each year. Everyone else belly aches about the "creep" but I'm just over here having a tinsel party. Glad to know I'm not alone!

I went to the mall today and a few of the stores had their Christmas displays up. Perhaps the fact that it's a bit premature would drive a lot of people crazy, but I'm just gonna admit that it made my friggin day. Basically from the moment the last piece of candy gets handed out on Halloween until midnight on December…

I came really late to the podcast party but have really gotten into them lately. They're fantastic when you have to spend a lot of time in the car...

I think I've read a couple of Patty's dialogues and I like them! I just enjoy how she lets things unfurl in her stories. Gone Girl had the big twist, but I like that Dark Places pieces together the murders through the past and present (at least so far.) And yes, I totally see what you mean about Libby vs Amy. Libby…

Anyone else here read a few of Gillian Flynn's novels? I read Gone Girl this summer and just started Dark Places. About 40 pages in it occurred to me that, at least in those two, she created two female main characters that are really hard, at times "bad", and highly unrelatable. Anyone have any thoughts on this? I'm…

Yeah, I don't know about sexual peril, but when the same situation happened to me (on more than one occasion with one guy, so yeah, not buying the "it slipped" thing, either) it wasn't funny AT ALL. It hurt and took me totally by surprise. While I didn't ever occur to me to question the idea of consent in the…

Yes! The worst part of the new fall TV shows is not wanting to get too attached before you know they'll stick around. Black-ish is hilarious and adorable. How To Get Away With Murder has totally sucked me in and I already look forward to new episodes each week.

Oh, hm. I'm not even sure what that is, which doesn't say much for my ability to give out advice on the subject! But maybe just wearing it around the house to get used to it at first might help a bit.

Ooh, I'm all about the liquid eyeliner with the wing flair at the edge. It may just be like a lot of other things where you have to do it a few times before you get used to it. But with the liquid eyeliner you do have to be careful with application because a lot can make the look a bit...intense. I would actually…

Advice, pretty please! My boyfriend is moving in with me this weekend which is very exciting but also pretty terrifying. I hadn't realized until now that I'm actually a pretty independent gal (and stubborn, but I already knew that part) so it's been a bit of a struggle to acquiesce some control with this new…
