Well my “I don’t see color” but obviously racist right wing aunt claims she “doesn’t believe in statistics”. So there’s always that.

Sounds like she needs the help of a professional.

In any case you the producers of these shows knowingly overserve thé contestants in order to provoke drama — whether that’s sex or violence. They should certainly be held accountable. At the same time, being drunk and hooking up with someone you later regret is not the same as being too drunk to consent or being…

I think you mean “un crème”!

I’m super confused about the powdered milk thing... I live in France and have NEVER seen powdered milk at the grocery store. Besides, do you know how fucking good French milk is? French dairy products are leaps and bounds ahead of whatever it is America calls milk and cheese.

My dad says he remembers playing with mercury in high school science class— that would have been the 70s

I recently read though that tourniquets are not recommended to stop bleeding unless you are well-trained because they can cause more harm than good. Professionals say applying direct pressure to a wound is the better route.

Exactly. If breastsobs are inherently sexual, then why when I go to the beach in France I see there a wide range of women both bearing and not bearing their breasts? While I don’t want to push the myth that the elderly are non-sexual, there’s PLENTY of very old women who go topless on the beach — are we expected to…

Exactly - it is definitley uniquely American. My husband is North African and he still does not get the gravity of the word — especially when it comes to -er ending vs -a ending. He grew up listening to American rap music without actually knowing how to speak English, so for him that is his context clue.

The problem for me (prefacing this by stating I am a white female BTW) is the nonchalance of it. It just rolled off his tongue so smoothly it’s difficult to imagine that’s not a regular word in his vocabulary, if not his inner monologue. Does it make him a RACIST? I think we need to be honest with ourselves that we…

My husband opened an Instagram account way back in like 2011/12 and never used it since. I recently rediscovered it having forgotten he even had and now the acct is following a TON of celebrities including Justin Bieber and Katy Perry. So yeah - they def buy fake followers.

Middle aged white women with that particular “I’ll need to speak with the manager” haircut.

Not quite...it’s actually short for ‘Mistress’ which is the feminised version of Master.

If your reply is meant to be sarcastic then you missed my point because maybe I wasn’t being clear. I mean, they — who will more than likely never ever ever be a victim of terrorism in the city they live in — have a lot of opinions about what WE in Europe need to do and how we can “combat the threat of Islamic…

That’s one of the things that pisses me off so much when I see redneck idiots from my hometown making comments about whichever new European terror attack like it even effects them. I live in Paris and yes I live with the reality of WHEN AGAIN not “IF”. Nobody is going to blow themselves up at the local Walmart of…

On the same line I was thinking how music can brin for back trauma. I worry for these kids who just enjoyed an Ariana Grande concert (presumably a fave artist) and now those songs can trigger the trauma of this night. Terrible.

So does a bitch gotta troll to get ungreyed around here or what?

I can’t and won’t make excuses for Trump’s behavior -but while Billy Bush is probably an asshole, I can’t draw and quarter him for his non-confrontation of Trump in the moment. Even if he was taken aback, we’ve all be in situations where we regret not saying something, or sticking to our principles, or being too…

It’s Ivanka. We get the Sweetheart we deserve.

HEMA is great too! Probably the closest to something like Target for small home and paper goods (like party supplies). Also, they have GREAT kids pajamas. We just got a Sostrene Grene too which is awesome for small decor and crafts. I was just there today and picked up lots of odds and ends (a fountain dip pen with an…
