What would be ironic is if you traded the 10,000 spoons for a cake knife, only to find out that the cake had been eaten by the dog so everyone has to make do with wedding jello.

Their pastries are gross, the coffee tastes weird, and something's very wrong with their tea.

I don't think she meant that eating butter/oil will make you fat, but that people often eat way more of something if they think it's 'fat-free', consuming more calories in added sugar. The fat-free cookie example could have been clearer, I guess.

I haven't heard of kobo before, so thanks for the suggestion! The book I printed out gave me two new papercuts, so it might be time to move on if I want to finish the booklist for my Hogwarts house.

She should have keyed YOLO on his car.

Republicans think Atlas Shrugged and 1984 are How-To books.

Great way to start the lunch break.

The accountant in me is crying about the entire decade.

If I forgot about a loan, and took maybe too long to pay back, I do so with interest added. That absolves me of all guilt.

You described my parents. They vote Conservative (Canada) for tax reasons, and honestly couldn't care less about social issues. Human rights wasn't part of their priorities, and I was so sheltered from real people that I had only vague ideas of people suffering somewhere in Africa, so I voted Conservative too until…

The uggggghhh comments on Youtube that you read are about Steubenville? or Leave It to Beaver? I remember reading some of the Beaver comments and they were full of misogyny, which made me sad about liking old shows.

Yesterday, I found a pdf of a book online that was out of copyright, so I printed it out to read. (It was a short and I double-sided.) The only way I can force myself to read through a work of fiction for entertainment is by holding it in my hands, which sucks since I hate killing trees. iPad sadly doesn't work.

In my college, both the plagiarist and the victim get in trouble for it. I don't know how they came up with that rule, but they enforced it.

Should probably replace it with "consent".

Higher milk-fat = lower weight isn't really new science. I eat 10%MF yogurt, and it tastes like heaven.

Sometimes I get scared that he'll realise I'm not as good as he thinks I am, and dump me for a better person.

I don't know how the taxes/pictures work on the grand scale, but three of my long-time friends (like since middle school) have quit smoking and cited the cost as one of their reasons. Yay, economics!

My fiance teaches elementary schoolers and loves interacting with children, playing silly games, talking to them everyday, etc. He'd make a great parent since he's way more nurturing/patient/fun to be around than I am, but we haven't had the children talk since college, so I guess we should do it before the wedding.

What about gay dads?

I'm afraid of having a child and finding out that I'm not able to connect with it, since it's what happened to my own mother. There would be so much shaming by everyone around me, since even some of the women I know with Women's Studies degrees seem to think motherhood is sacred/innate, and a bad mother is literally…
