I haven’t bought anything from Ikea in a while but I still have a bunch of the wall anchors in a drawer with all my extra screws , buttons and picture hangers. It’s not something I would have bought so they must have come with my furniture.

You wouldn’t put a screw in the wall of a place you were renting?

I’m really confused about all of this. I’ve bought a wardrobe, dresser, and shelves at Ikea and the assembly instructions for ALL of them very VERY explicitly showed how important it was to secure them to the wall, showing that they can tip and fall. Securing them to the wall is literally a step in the assembly. They…

And why is Ikea culpable? Lawyers? The instructions say to anchor it. If these dressers were unanchored, how are they at fault when people use them wrong?

Every item of furniture (Ikea and other brands) I have always stated in their instructions that you should fix them to the walls if you have children or pets who may climb on it. My parents also screwed all furniture to the walls over 20 years ago. The problem is not the furniture itself, but the missing fixtures.

So pardon if this question is dopey, but what makes these more dangerous than other dressers?

I misread the opening paragraph and thought it was referring the documentary airing a few days before the US Open. Not when it was filmed.

So now conservatives are trying to appropriate feminism? I guess it’s less offensive than when they try to take credit for ending slavery and passing Civil Rights?

Nah I’m a theater nerd. And I’d sell my left kidney to see hamilton before the 9th. Unfortunately I’m not a NYC native and I have kids and responsibilities. But I did happen to finally get my husband to listen to a musical soundtrack from start to finish and I woke up this morning with my kid singing it. So... I think…

It was already mainstream in January. Are you talking about January of 2015? The soundtrack was released in September of last year... It sucks that you didn’t buy tickets buy you had a LOT of chances to do so...

One might even say he is inimitable, an original (if you will).

I use a little detergent and generally wash my jeans separately from all my other clothes (I have laundry privilege; if I had to go to a laundromat, there’s no way I would do this). The vinegar helps set the dye and keeps it from bleeding, but since I wash my jeans less frequently than I do the rest of my clothes, I…

ME TOO. even if they're not stained I feel like some of my lace dresses just don't ever smell good unless I use vinegar!

Calling it right now: Lin Manuel Miranda will pick up the “O” element of his EGOT for his work on this movie.

This song always makes me a bit emotional anyway, but the shot of them frozen with their empty hands, muskets discarded after what happened this morning...yeah, that hit me real hard. Of course, everything has been hitting me real hard today.

In the founding fathers’ time, an armed citizenry actually served as a check on tyranny—but in the age of multi-million dollar force multiplier (i.e., smart bombs; tanks; attack helicopters; etc.), not so much.

I have tickets on July 2 and could probably fund a Disney vacation for 2 by reselling them, but eff that. I’m going to bask in the aura of Leslie Odom Jr.’s Burr, see Daveed in all his Jeffersonian glory, and cry buckets during the final song. #notthrowingawaymyshot

I honestly do not understand the people who feel personally victimized by these ticket prices.
