That has always bothered me about the show. In comparison, the cast of MAD TV, which I believe was taped out in LA, seemed much more diverse.

I wouldn't say he was the world's best dad if he was "unmindful to the traffic around him" while pushing a stroller.

Ooh, nice graphic. I'll have to save that for future reference. I do like the menu shown in this article but agree with the other commenters that the percentages don't make sense (e.g., the second drink being 100% water and 100% coffee instead of 50/50).

Thanks for putting it so well. I can't stand it when rapists try to defend themselves by bringing up a woman's clothing, like the way a woman dresses is an invitation to treat her a certain way.

I used a spackling tool and some specialized solution to remove the adhesive bits. T'was a major pain because the sticker was on the lower part of the windshield, near the dashboard.

Ooh, I've never heard of Leuchtturm. Photos of their journals remind me of Moleskine. I used to use Moleskines but began to be displeased with the way my rollerball pens bled through the pages. I think that must have coincided with Moleskine moving manufacturing to China. I don't recall having a problem with their…

Great point.

I want to root for Malone because she seems so normal compared to all these other Hollywood actresses, but she hasn't quite convinced me as an actress. I've seen her grow up on the screen (I remember her as a young girl in Contact and a resentful teenager in Stepmom!). But she hasn't stood out for me in any of the…

Bowl of cereal is my go-to dinner when I'm too lazy or tired to cook. As a desk worker who doesn't get enough exercise, however, I figure I could stand skipping the calories that would come with a whole meal.

Good point about location. In Manhattan, I see people eating alone all the time. Not just young people but older people who I imagine are divorced or widowed. I forget that in other places, people going out by themselves is not the norm.

I remember reading this advice once about meeting people in a new city. One of the suggestions was to frequent a bar at the same time, same day of the week once a week. That way you'd become a regular and become familiar with the other regulars. I was able to do that with a coffeeshop in my old neighborhood, but where…

So when I was single, I lived with roommates. One of my favorite weekend rituals was to get brunch by myself at a neighborhood restaurant. (Like bluebird179, I'm also an introvert.) I'd always sit at the counter and read a book or magazine or write in my journal while eating. It was nice to get out of the apartment,…

Like some of the other commenters, I had an "off" feeling regarding this episode. Part of it might be Troy and Britta's relationship, which is sweet, but seems kind of forced (i.e., characters in TV shows having to be paired up). Troy and Britta were already a couple at the beginning of this season, but I couldn't…

I'm so sorry for what you've gone through. And that vomiting/urinating/menstruating "tip" bothered me as well. It implies that making yourself appear unattractive decreases the likelihood of rape, which might be true if rape were about sex and not power and control, as you said. It's as if people forget that children,…

Oh my god, "the fact" s/b "the face." I can't believe I made such an obvious spelling error.

The fact reminds me of Wilson, the volleyball, from Castaway!

Yes!

Not that I condone trolling, but the discussions she had via Twitter encouraged Megan Phelps to leave Westboro Baptist Church: https://medium.com/reporters-notebook/d63ecca43e35

Thanks for an inspiring story.

Ha ha, hilarious! You're missing a spoiler alert though for your comment.
