Uh, speaking of which, BRB after reading the story again to see if that particular concern (lack of toilets) was addressed.

These people must have much nicer attics than mine, which is filled with old insulation and has hardly enough room to crouch, much less space to hang out and read pulp magazines while waiting to sex up the lady of the house.

Sniff.

I used to interview bands and was always so anxious they’d be dicks. I was always very pleasantly surprised when they were not just good at media stuff, but genuinely friendly and engaging.

He’s the best! Also, “No Children” was the last song at our wedding and it was fucking perfect.

I did not read through all the comments, but I skimmed and there was a lot of talk about reverse racism and misunderstanding of the author’s argument (“how dare you say blacks can only be successful if whites are around!”). Several white people who’d attended mostly black public schools in Brooklyn years ago spoke of…

I’m really looking forward to reading the responses here, because on the NY Times, even among the starred comments, there was quite a bit of backlash against the author (maybe that was even the most common reaction?). More than I’m used to seeing on a very heavily trafficked NY Times piece, for sure.

Or some enterprising person could invent a Cher Twitter translation app?

Good eye. She strikes me as more of a practical footwear kind of woman — and nothing wrong with that, I’m 5'9" and live in flats. But those stiletto heels are a surprise for sure and so odd for the outfit.

I moved from a city with unpalatable tap water to one with very clean and crisp tasting water and it is a profound difference, and not just for drinking. Even my hair is happier. Plus, no more stupid bulky Britta in the fridge.

I agree with this to a point. If someone is telling me how homos are an abomination to God or that women shouldn’t have access to reproductive services, I feel comfortable making a derisive comment and walking off.

AND loading them up illegally with alcohol! Sure, they chose to drink it, but it’s still illegal that he served it to them. It’s awfully hard to make much money as un unskilled 19-year-old and Seattle is becoming a very expensive city. Porn is a job that can pay fairly well whether you are morally on board with it or…

Oh really?

I saw so many comments on assorted Brock Turner stories saying there was nothing whatsoever violent about him having shoved things into an unconscious woman’s vagina. “She was passed out, she didn’t even feel it or fight back.” It’s unfucking real.

I live in Washington and had *no* idea. That’s fucked up.

So, um, I used to hostess at a hip restaurant and someone wrote a one-star Yelp review that focused almost entirely on the fact that she hated my dress. I should note that she was in sweatpants and drunk off her ass; I could tell immediately who’d written it. But I got reprimanded for that review nonetheless.

I *just* got the results from my very first mammogram yesterday. My breasts, it seems, are “heterogeneously dense.” My doctor didn’t recommend additional screenings, and I don’t have a history of cancer in my family, but now I’m wondering if I should push for an ultrasound. My insurance is pretty good but I’m going to…

I mean, I respect their choice to be together, OF COURSE, but I wonder how often he’s asked if he’s her father. Cause that’s what I would think if I saw them for sure.

I’ve read that the average litter size of a given mammal is one-half the number of mammaries it has. The “one-half rule.” Humans have two breasts and their average litter size is one baby. The maximum litter tends to be equal to the total number of mammaries but not always (rare cases like human quadruplets, for…

Yeah, I’m the third and forever home for my purebred whatever, so maybe don’t be the ass in assume.
