Not the point, but a chestnut praline latte sounds divine.

Ooh this is a great idea! Thanks for the link.

I’m glad to hear someone else say this. When I was 24 I remember sort of dreading 25 because after that I got closer to 30 and further from 19 and the increase in expectations was not something I wanted to deal with.

YES. I have just come into this in the past year-ish and it feels great to finally be firm with people and unapologetic (at least, a lot of the time. I’m a baby adult).

I feel this. I just got married last month and I’m turning 28 next week. My husband and I realized that if we were like “Hey everyone, baby on the way!” or bought a house everyone would think that was great and it freaked us out because we are imposter adults. We bought Halloween candy and then locked the door, turned…

Yep, too many people thought he was awful but would not be taken seriously... then a bunch of people watched or gave him clicks (hate or not) and here we are. It makes me ill every time someone hosts him (ratings) and they laugh at his “jokes” and shake his hand. No one has to “be nice” or “give it a rest” or tolerate…

Doubtful anyone will see this, but I can see this post becoming my jam because the kitchen is my happy place. I made so much yumminess this week. Moo she tofu in lettuce wraps http://www.connoisseurusveg.com/2015/06/moo-sh… Breakfast bell peppers http://stupideasypaleo.com/2015/03/07/bre… I used fresh spinach and some…

My idea was to make these for Thanksgiving too! I love the idea of the butterscotch chips. Oooh.

I have a friend who makes human and animal tooth/bone jewelry. I don’t think I could personally wear it, but it looks fucking awesome on other people.

A friend of mine from university makes fantastic jewelry from bones and teeth. This guy probably spent a whole lot less than he would’ve on a diamond.

I was in Amsterdam last December and in the city centre/tourist areas were huge signs saying something to the effect of, “Drugs aren’t illegal here. If you feel that you need medical help, you can get it and won’t face any legal repercussions.” I wonder if Ireland will do something similar to help de-stigmatize?

Is Mickey O’Rourke a vegetarian? It really really REALLY annoys me when people are all “Don’t eat dogs! Dogs are friends!” then eat cows, pigs, chickens, etc. I get that people are upset by the way the dogs are killed, but a lot of the people who are anti-dog meat end up sounding gross and racist and like they’ve…

My vote goes to constantly affectionate and over the top because you can’t just avoid them til they chill out thanks to social media.

I taught English in South Korea after I graduated and whenever I get English major jokes, I point out that I started at a higher pay grade because of my degree so HA.

General question: did anyone who loves the show read the book? Curious how they compare or if it’s just the idea of a rapture-like event being used and what the people do after.

Definitely. I would hate to be famous or a famous person’s kid/partner/close friend because I couldn’t cope with that level of scrutiny. Just speaking broadly for non-celebs, raising your kids digital free or social media free probably sounds like a good idea, but could put them behind their peers in some ways…

I have to agree. Also, not like Kate Winslet’s kids will really go through standard job application processes (I would assume) but right now I’m job hunting (library jobs, fresh out of my MLIS) and so many employee specs mention social media use. Marketing is a little different than personal use, but certain…

Oh wow, that sounds much much worse than my in-laws. They just buy cheap crap all the time and forget about it and it piles up because they have a big old Victorian house with lots of hidey holes.

My husband somehow never has enough underwear, no matter how many times he buys more. He also is terrible at throwing away things that don’t fit so it’s like, “Why are you still wearing that sweater?! You have allll of these to choose from!” “Those are a little tight.” Endlessly frustrating to me who is brutal when it…

Show clean is ridiculous. My mom had her house on the market for over a year in total (two separate periods) and she was having to hide her coffee maker in the cupboard and basically couldn’t have anything out that looked like she actually lived there. She said the relator told her people want to see how much counter…
