Haha, it was infuriating at the time! Knocking into him would also have been effective, but I really just wanted not to touch him, or have him be touching me. Why is that so much to ask? Glad that you empathize though, I just had to dismiss a troll who told me that I sounded like I needed professional help. THANKS I’M…

In fact I did. In addition to having to keep him from putting his foot into the seat-back space in front of me that is reserved for my feet and belongings ONLY, he also had his arm hanging over the elbow rest into my side (which I curled away from, because don’t touch me, you weirdo). At least he did when he wasn’t…

And you know that if jinni, the kindest regular commenter on this blog by a country mile, has something even borderline critical to say about the current Kinja iteration, that it is terrible (which it is).

This is an important victory which I will celebrate in spirit with Madrid. Obligatory man-spreading story: a few weeks ago I was on a flight in a middle seat and the dude sitting next to me was man-spreading with his foot OVER the little metal partition on the floor separating seats so his leg was into the space in…

Because that Us Weekly headline is unclear, I clicked through to skim the article just to confirm that Ivanka didn’t actually grant them an interview. It doesn’t appear that she did, making the verbiage in the “I disagree with my dad” headline misleading. It’s so gross, and clearly trying to plant the idea of “don’t…

The Us Weekly article on the Rogers drama actually states that the Rogers family thought Olivia Munn “was in it for the wrong reasons.” We now have peak Bachelor crossover.

I mean, if colony collapse disorder is even a real thing. I heard it was a hoax invented by the Chinese.

In the piece the NYTimes published today they had a scholar who said that it would be very unlikely that the base would close, though Qatar could make the base more difficult to use.

Ok, but J. Crew, when you gonna start making lined pants out of wool again and stop making dresses/sweaters that are cut for the delicate figure of a refrigerator?

Look, I know Trudeau gets the big fold-out poster in the World Leaders Bopp Magazine, but I only have eyes for Macron.

Haha, Wes is a cut-rate Abram.

Oh absolutely, I would not have expected the athletes to live with the reality hooligans. Same, I think I stopped watching after Real World Paris, but the Challenges still lure me in.

Do it. Come back to the fold. In these trying political times it’s important that we all come together as one in our hatred of Wes.

I am also a grown ass adult that loves the Challenges. Although I often don’t know the younguns on the shows anymore. This particular varietal with the pro athletes is great, although it’s a little lower on interpersonal drama bc they don’t appear to be living at the same house - just filming in one place for certain…

Which fine, if you’re a vegan and find dairy offensive, that’s your prerogative but it’s also on YOU to ask if there is milk in something (rage directed at him, not you).

Because this whole thread made me curious, I went and looked up the brunch menu at the Ritz in Toronto - they do in fact have ricotta pancakes (they call them “hotcakes”) on the menu. They come with some cherry sauce, and they sound delicious. Ricotta is listed right there in the title, and Jaden Smith is, and…

True true, she did a great job and discrimination against white Christian kids is not a thing that exists (other than the war on Christmas, of course /s).

Clark was definitely well-prepared, though I think it also would have hammered her point if she asked DeVos “what about discrimination against white, Christian, male children? Still okay to give federal funding to those schools under the “parents know best” argument?”

This comment made me laugh out loud. I feel like you’ve been killing it today generally on the boards.

Probably fair, you’re right, I should lower my nearly non-existent expectations for Republicans. Though I do think Republicans had issues with some of his appointees (cough, DeVos).
