Yeah, I don't understand how featured commenters work, and I'm also confused as to why some super blatant trolls get to have free rein of the site, leaving a trail of unpleasant exchanges in their wake, when it's clear from a cursory glance at their comment history that they are solely trying to rile. I'm sorry you…

Temperature really doesn't matter, but I would imagine that using cold butter and milk (especially the butter) requires you to work the mash more, which overprocesses the starches resulting in gluey and gnarly potatoes. I've always used room temperature butter but milk/cream from the fridge, and they come out fluffy.…

Vine-ripened raw tomatoes from the garden are super delicious. Grocery store tomatoes, even the heirloom variety, never have the same flavor or texture. I blame bad, sad, watery tomatoes for most people's tomato-dislike.

What do you think she's had done? Her face looks so different I don't even know where to begin.

Fair enough. I'm a "millennial" with a shit-ton of debt, so I understand the impulse and even the defensiveness. It's absurd the amount of posters on here who maintain this self-righteous approach to life and assume that their experience equals all experience. :-\ At least not everyone is being a dick, though!

Yes, it is a good joke, and it's a direct reference to this very famous one:

I love this. 4 Men From Yorkshire ftw.

It's the "fuck you, I got mine" school of thought, very popular in the US across the political spectrum.

You are making shit up and acting like it's fact. Makes sense.

TBH, for many of us, moving in with our parents is indeed a horrific prospect, and moving out at 18 for college was a necessary measure to maintain sanity.

Thank you!

As a barely middle class white girl with a crippling amount of debt, I assure you that this does not only affect the "upper middle class." It's great that you and others were able to work and pay off your tuition while in school, but that wasn't possible or all of us who had to pay excessively high tuition rates for a…

To me, ear piercing is a completely different kettle of fish, since I think the wearing of earrings (while unfortunately and needlessly gendered feminine) is all about body ornamentation and decoration in the same way wearing bright clothing is*. With that said, I do agree that heels seem specifically suited to…

Very well said, and I could not agree more.

Oh, definitely. I was curious if my interaction with her was unique so I checked her comment history and saw at least 6 other interactions (including this one with you and the other poster) with her accusing people of stalking her, or of lying, or of various other mental issues she was sure they had. Talk about…

PSA: nimuexxx is completely insane and/or a huge troll. I would avoid interacting with her like the plague, for serious. She similarly accused me of "aggravated harassment" because I replied to some of her insane ramblings. Solidarity yo!

She really is. This person trawled my entire posting history to cobble together a "biography" of my life which s/he then used against me in a 12+ paragraph tirade. Either mentally ill, or the most massive troll in the blogosphere. Can we not report people like this?

It's not that new, though. People have been bitching about this particular misuse on online forums for decades.

Lololol, I'm sure you're super proud of that little gem.

Honeyfund is definitely what my partner and I will opt for when we get married in a few years—we plan to have a modest wedding but want to travel to Europe for our honeymoon, and I'd rather all money go towards that then get any unnecessary registry gifts. We won't have a traditional registry at all.
