I happily provide the booze and imminent diabetes for my Thanksgiving. Even the imminent diabetes contains booze - Kentucky Derby pie.

I actually liked that Batman was old. It made a great juxtaposition between the veteran crime fighter and the fresh new superheroes. And maybe because I’m getting older, but I appreciate seeing an aging superhero. You go about fighting crime differently. In this case, Batman finally starts to see that the way he…

I totally find him sexy. If that makes me Midwest basic, then so be it. I don’t drink pumpkin spice anything or wear Uggs, so I can handle this one bit of basic-ness :)

I would have children if I were married to a guy who looked like Jason Momoa!

Tell me about it! 41 years here = most boring “love” life ever. With no one remotely as attractive as Jason Momoa.

Yeah. He would be Midwest Sexy. I think. He looks like guys I went to high school with. And guys I see on the train.

I actually live here. Have my whole life. Maybe I was exaggerating a little by saying “no one.” But they are few and far between.

Midwest sexy? No one in the midwest looks like Jason Momoa. At all. I think Clark Kent flanneled-out in a corn field would be considered “midwest sexy.”

The Metra has a stop in Ravenswood (it’s been renovated and is really nice now). It’s 12 minutes from there to the Loop. I used to take it and it was fantastic. Now, I live too far west to make it worthwhile.

I tried it to brush up on French - took it for 4 years in high school and a year in college. It was great for vocab, but it sucked for conjugation. It was too haphazard for me. Plus, I need to write stuff down in order to remember anything. I’m old.

There are clear guidelines - pretend all colleagues are the same, no matter their genitalia! How fucking hard is that? It’s not at all.

This is fucking ridiculous. If you can’t be alone with a colleague who is a woman, then maybe you shouldn’t be out in the workforce. I mean, how do you even go out in public, there are SO many women! What if you’re in an elevator and a woman gets on - do you get off of it? Yeah, there are gray areas, but it isn’t…

Maybe I need to ascribe to this thought process. It might help some of the irrational anger I feel over the word “whilst.” It wouldn’t be totally out of character for me either - I have described the pastiness of my skin by saying I look like a consumptive operatic heroine.

I even do that in text messages. I also refuse to abbreviate when texting. God, I must annoy people just as much as people who use “whilst” annoy me.

Oh yes, totally correct. I just hate it. I don’t know why I hate it so much. I have stopped reading things when authors just keep using it.

When British people use it I have less of a negative reaction. Just a slight rolling of the eyes. It’s when Americans use it...it just reminds me of how Madonna’s not-British, but trying to sound pretentious AF, accent when she married Guy Ritchie. My eyes full on roll out of my head.

Eh, moist is okay I guess. Using “whilst” makes a person sound pretentious. Just use “while.”

I 100% agree. Definitely analyze your behavior and maybe see a therapist. Maybe that was the tip of the iceberg, or maybe it was a one off.

Gloat on, and revel in your righteousness. It’s an attractive look on you.
