I just treat women like other people and it seems to work pretty well.

Hi again Ari. Well for the time being I am a stay at home dad. But that is because I am unemployed right now. Also my kids are 20 and 17 so it isn't what most people envision when you say that phrase. The 17 year old graduates in May. I have been out of work since December and have had one interview which went well…

Whatever. It may not be totally accurate but the $50 I spent on my fitbit was worth it. It 100% shames me into walking more. Judgemental numbers do so much more for me than they should. Do whatever works for you. All I know is that getting to the step goal becomes an obsession with users and it gets you moving more.

An artsy friend of my mom's gave us 'personal' gifts- i.e. shit from her house. One was a very used throw pillow with a lighthouse appliquéd on it. Another was a sloppily framed charcoal sketch of a houseplant done by her father. I finally got the guts to ditch the sketch recently. I always felt guilty before because…

Are people unaware that they are allowed to say they don't like whole nuts and that they diminish the severity of actual food allergies with this nonsense?

I just like the idea of a regular 24h bookstore. "It's 2AM and I need an annotated version of The Stranger immediately!'

My super awesome mom, after years of working as a successful independent consultant, recently accepted a job as an executive/c-suite level employee at a financial firm. She is the only woman executive. During her first week, another executive told her part of her duties would be to cover the phones when the…

I don't think it'll give her any sort of complex if you just put your foot down and make her brush her hair. If she demands an explanation, lump it in with things like brushing your teeth and taking a shower - you have to keep your body healthy, and that means keeping all parts of your body healthy!

Years spent taming my unruly eyebrows have, near as I can tell, killed all the nerve endings up there. I got to the point where I wouldn't even blink when they ripped the wax off.

(Weird thing to share: I saw you list a temperature in Celsius, so I started trying to remember the metric to imperial conversion for ages so I could figure out how old you are, BECAUSE MY BRAIN HATES ME! Then that same brain thought I should share this so someone else would know how much it hates me.)

True story:

Ah! I must have remembered that incorrectly. Grateful for the correction...

SORRY I'M NOT SORRY.

I would so take a tour of a dragon dress.

Fun fact 1 - Australians hate Starbucks. They had to close half of their stores here a few years ago and only continue to survive in big suburban shopping malls, so this post amuses me greatly.

Fun Fact 2 - A "flat white" is just white coffee. Doesn't the whole world know that? Why doesn't the whole world know that?

Fun…

I'm Australian and I think our definition of complicated coffee varies! See for us, every cafe has pretty much the same list: espresso, long black (double espresso with water) mocha, flat white and macchiato. They're all just variations on the coffee/milk/water ratio. I guess it might seem strange to Americans to have…

My main beef is that American or British coffee is weak as hell. It's like you intentionally dilute your coffee by half (homeopathic coffee). "Triple shot cappucino" is the closest I've ever gotten to real coffee with milk in the UK. Then again, I live in one of the top six coffe consuming countries of the world, and…
