I think there might be two of them now. The one at George Mason and Wilson is still there, and that's the one I live close to. I know I've seen the newer one but I haven't been in.

I know! Probably we've all been in line together at Harris Teeter at some point. (That seems to be how I run into literally everyone I know in Arlington.)

See, I can walk to Super Pollo. That to me is the best qualification a chicken place could possibly have. Chicken in five minutes > Chicken in 20 minutes.

To make it even more fun people in Arlington would call it Peruvian chicken, because the first places to serve it here were run by Peruvians. So we have Pakistanis using Mexican slang to sell Peruvian-style fast food.

Another neighbor, and I was wondering the same thing. (Though my Peruvian-style chicken of choice is going to remain Super Pollo.)

I see what you mean, and if I were doing that kind of reporting I'd probably suck it up and start taping things. I write about regulatory stuff — usually I need the gist more than the exact words. (Though of course anything between quotation marks is an exact quote.) And yeah, the eye contact thing is definitely an…

I don't use one because I find them awkward and I never listen to the tapes anyhow. If a source suggests it or I know the exact wording is going to be important, I will record on my phone. But that happens like three times a year.

Feminist Ryan Gosling disapproves.

It's like a food delivery thing. I don't think I even have it where I live but they advertise freaking everywhere.

I live near Ballston Mall and it's the same way. Kids act like they've never seen a food court before. Which is doubly pathetic because Ballston is quite possibly the lamest mall in the DC area.

What everyone else said. Also it's really dangerous because of infections/lifelong pain/other horrific side effects. Most ads for it are actually trying to get people to join class action suits against the manufacturer, to give you an idea.

That's a really misleading number. Most of the kids reported missing are communication problems where the kid was safe the whole time, teenagers who ran away, or family abductions. This is an old number, but between 1990 and 1995 there were only 515 stranger kidnappings reported in the U.S. — and given crime rate…

I think he's not transitioning and has just decided to milk the rumors for all they're worth. It's the Kardashian-Jenner way!

I'm cis, and if there was a "press a button and a penis pops out" option I'd totally take it. Not that I want to keep one forever, but who isn't at least a little curious?

Oh dear god that lipliner is just wrong.

I mean, Hailie isn't how you spell the name of the comet or Hayley Mills' name, either. On the broad spectrum of Creative Kid Name Spellings they barely rank.

Are we sure this time it's really her? It seems like every couple months a new Hailie social media profile turns up, and then three days later Eminem's people announce it's a fake.

I am stuck on a stupid racing level in Saints Row IV because I can't pretend to drive a motorcycle so I keep crashing and it is bumming me out.

That absolutely makes sense, and thanks for explaining. It's not something I've experienced, but if anything I'm jealous :-).

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I'm not sure I understand how Cody's girlfriend is her girlfriend if there's no sexual component to their relationship due to asexuality. Isn't that friendship? I mean, it's not my job to tell other people what to call their relationships and if Cody wants to define her…
