Genuine question--is “sign a bill” the same as “propose a bill?” I thought signing was a bit more passive.

Why would you put this curse into the world?

I’m so sorry. I’ve been trying to keep up with the clusterfuck that is UK government since Brexit and, like Trump’s regime, it just seems to get worse and worse for you. 

When the LA Times published, “It’s ‘The Bachelor: Campaign Trail.’ Which of Biden’s veep candidates deserves the rose?,” they deservedly received a lot of backlash for publishing such a sexist piece. They even apologized. I’m disappointed to see this trope used again here.

SCENARIO:

I absolutely hate when waitstaff are overly gracious/chatty. I understand why they have to do it, but it actually makes me uncomfortable. I love non-tipping countries where the waitstaff barely talk to you. I also love going to our regular bars/restaurants where the waitstaff know us and know they can benignly ignore…

This is a really good point. And if someone is having a panic attack in a mask, their distress is often (but not always) really evident. Most human beings wouldn’t chide someone who is clutching their chest and hyperventilating and crying. 

Oof, that sounds like utter hell. My backpack has the same capacity as a standard carry-on, so I’m not being more efficient by carrying my luggage. But if/when I develop back problems, I’ll adjust to the rolly! Good on you for learning to ask for help more.

It’s probably a made up reaction. Harry and Meghan went camping—it’s easy to fabricate Harry’s “reaction” to that event, especially when the info is coming from an “unnamed source.” When you attach a celebrity’s supposed opinions/reactions to a verified event, your fiction gains a lot of believability. Most tabloid…

Yes. Their deaths per capita is really high.

In a statement to BuzzFeed News, a spokesperson for the couple said, “The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were not interviewed and did not contribute to ‘Finding Freedom’. This book is based on the authors’ own experiences as members of the royal press corps and their own independent reporting.”

If I had a bad back/neck, I would definitely stick with a rolly carryon (like most people I see/know), but luckily I’m not there yet. I say “luckily” because I hate rolling luggage along rough sidewalks/streets, and the UK and Europe (where I’ve done most of my traveling for work/research), has a lot of those. I don’t…

It is equal treatment because men who get periods will be eligible for the same sick leave.

Nothing supports that narrative except trashy tabloids. Harry asked that they both be kept out of the limelight. Meghan didn’t comment much at all. They didn’t overshare on social media—in fact, they were criticized for not sharing more while they were still working royals. They didn’t even accept a title for their…

I’ve never had an IPA I didn’t enjoy from Aeronaut.

I can’t talk, either. I tried it for the first time a couple months after the new place opened. My partner, who’d had the old stuff, didn’t mention that it tasted any different. 

I don’t know!!! It’s bullshit. Like many of the people on this thread, I am from a rural area, so I had no idea that you could be put on a sex offender registry for this until my brother was arrested (in a city) for public urination. He dodged the sex offender registry, but he had to pay a fine and do 100 hours of…

I wanted to hate Treehouse because it was such a pain in the ass to get to and very crowded when we were there. But I agree, it’s worth it. And I’ll always order Two Roads if I see it on the beer list. 

I just use fizzy water. If it’s too bitter, I add a little juice, too. 

Men being impressed by women “knowing how to” (?!?!?!) pee outside says a lot more about men’s views of women than it does about the women who pee outside.
