It worries me to read a Kardashian tweet and think "yay, someone who understands me."

The fact that she assumed they were entitled debate kids AND poor stupid hicks made me give this letter a lot of side-eye. To be fair, some people have a visceral reaction to bow ties, but I'm leaning toward prejudiced waiter, not mean-spirited kid here.

I'm slowly becoming convinced that Meghan Trainor is some sort of postmodern parody of pop music. I mean, her current radio hits are an anti-body shaming song that uses all the techniques of body shaming (single ideal of female beauty, appeal to male gaze, conflation of appearance with moral/personal failings,…

Why are yours the only gifs that work for me? What is going on?

Yeah, it's probably easier to make a profit on "unwanted" stuff and find someone who does want it when you have a lot to move. Also, "Pamela Anderson chicken".... There's an image. I didn't really consider the role of selective breeding much at all, which was silly.

Yeah, the comment about it going to waste was a bit flippant. I sort of assumed everything was used for something (hence the dog food) just for economic efficiency.

I think it was posted somewhere in Gawker, but did you see the guy who did a fitness video sendup of bulletproof coffee (he had a British accent I believe)? Gold star snark in that one.

Nah I think this is the perfect attitude. Recognizing that people will eat meat, and insisting that we get the most out of what dies is probably the most rational possible response.

The weirdest thing for me is people who are ostensibly all about sustainability or lowering meat consumption for ethical reasons who also have the "do you know what gets used to make a hot dog" mentality. If you halve the meat you eat, but insist half the meat is not edible, you're not helping.

You know, before looking this up today I had always assumed it referred to some curious sexual predilection. I guess I need to either use more refined wordplay, or really step up my figurative language game.

I always do a pocket check before laundry since it's easier to make it part of that routine. Not having a purse or bag to carry things in makes this a more pressing issue. I'd probably have the same issue your bf has, since old habits die hard.

On a vaguely related note, how about the tendency to use only certain cuts of meat? Like the way that everything chicken is now advertised for being white meat? Is there a bunch of offal now going to waste, or does it just end up in dog food? Because it may be offal, but it's sure not awful.

Two pints is always better than one, at least that's my take.

Yeah the team was what I was thinking. I guess I should have clarified it as large scale, public attention, as opposed to the desire to have an SO wait on you hand and foot. They settle on people with similar desires for spectacle because Netflix dates just wouldn't have cut it.

I think if the couple had a marked difference in their propensity for attention-seeking behavior, it would have been harder for them to last 11 years. Maybe that's why public proposals seem to work a lot: attention-seeking people are drawn to each other, and the attention really is focused on the couple, not just the…

I am so taking this as a compliment :).

I have two weddings to attend within the next month or so. They will effectively be the first weddings I've ever attended. After reading this, I'm wondering if I should invest in body armor instead of other clothes...

I see what you did there... Or possibly I see more than what you did there...

I'll be honest... after not paying much attention, I had to go back to make sure this wasn't in Florida. Yay public education...
