The lady she quoted is a man (Chore Sicha, former Gawker writer).

That's up to you.

The price of food has gone up. The base pay, at least in my state, hasn't — servers are still getting paid $2.35/hour. (And, yes, 20% is the standard tip here.)

The worst part is that these are the same dipshits who will tell you that CEO X deserves to be paid 11 jillion dollars plus perks and stock options, and you're just jealous if you say boo.

The average household income in the US is $56K, so, yes, $80K is high, not low.

Poor baby. I know, an America where you can't be virulently racist ain't your America!

A better example is probably the USB wall wort they try to sell you will Kindles/Fires (which include a cable but not a charger). They may have changed it, but they used to try to sell you a bundle with a single USB slot wort for $20, when you could easily find a similar product for $10 at brick & mortar stores.

Amazon gave me a $1 promotional credit, good until next Feb, for getting that free Essentials of Photography app. Nice.

Sadly, I know what episode you're talking about — Samantha wasn't growing out her bush, she was getting her first Brazilian, which was an alien concept to the other girls. That ep is from about 2001, and, as hard as it probably is for anyone much under 40 to believe, it really was incredibly uncommon for anyone but…

I hope it wasn't this one: http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/product/…

If you buy the San Francisco Bay brand pods, they are 97% bio-degradable (the bottom is mesh, not plastic, the top is cardboard, the only plastic is the ring at the collar).

You know, people smoked on planes for decades. Many, many decades. Not saying it was a good thing, but I do not recall every airplane falling out of the sky until it was banned in the 90s.

If your purpose is to be a dick to people, then "actually" is a really good indicator. I'm sure everyone appreciates you giving them the heads up. Actually.

I'd say the closest analog would be an intestinal cramp when you have a really nasty case of the flu or something, the kind that makes you want to curl into a fetal position, except there's no way to relieve it, so it can last for hours and hours and hours. The pain also frequently spreads to the back, too.

Would you be willing to marry a stranger a reality show set you up with? (If they say yes, follow up with: What the fuck is wrong with you? Why are you treating marriage like a game, you moron?)

Isn't that why we have dressers and armoires? Why would you not have drawers just because you have no closets?

It's cute how you think that it wasn't obvious that he was doing it to the woman on the panel, but not the other man.

The better version:

Anytime I see someone like the author claiming they have found all the answers to life and how to live it before they have even hit 30, I give it the big side-eye.

Have you tried discussing it with her? Marriage isn't exactly a unilateral decision, and just having a discussion about whether it's something you both might want in the future isn't a proposal.
