This is how we made grilled cheeses when we were kids, and I can attest that it is good, but it’s not life-changing.

There is a strange obsession from some film directors to get “real” emotions from their actors on set. Ridley Scott did it with the chestburster scene in Alien, Kubrick with Shelley Duvall on the set of The Shining, and clearly Bertolucci did it with this film. Now those first two examples are far less egregious than…

If she objects in the moment, she’s called unprofessional and is still pressured into doing it.

My experience is that my psychiatrists and psychologists have been some of the most judgey, critical motherfuckers I’ve ever met!

Ew. I don’t know, I should look into how drug pushing works, in Canada. I don’t think pharmaceutical companies greasing the palms of doctors is really so much a thing, here.

and she snapped at me that I was “always complaining”

This is how to deal with all bullies, including our future president.

These are kids; telling a trusted adult is not a “wasted step”, and it also allows her some accommodation from the school, so she doesn’t have to ride the same bus with him or whatnot. Give the girl a break- she did nothing wrong. No one can ever be a victim perfectly enough to meet everyone’s standards.

“... and when I hung up the phone it occurred to me, my boy was just like me yeah, my boy was just like me...

Ugh- your last line. You were doing so well!

Discontinuation syndrome is really a euphemism for what many people actually experience. The medical folks like to reserve the word “withdrawal” for the response coming off an addictive substance. Discontinuation syndrome and symptoms can last months, not just the “acute” period that the manufacturers have been forced…

Newsflash; people who can’t tell they’ve been conned surprised when it turns out they’ve been conned.

What makes you such an expert? Read the article above? They want change, eventually everyone wants freedom.

Everyone should have the right to drive.

ETA: the curds must say “sqouik sqouik” when you eat them (NOT “squeak,” they must be french curds) or it’s not poutine. I feel strongly about this.

NO NO NO NO Poutine is ONLY made with cheese curds and brown gravy that the french just call “sauce.”

Poutine is cheese CURDS and gravy.

It can’t be poutine unless it has squeaky cheese curds. That’s the differentiator. Disco fries are good in a pinch, especially when drungry, but it’s not poutine without the curds, even if they come from Jersey rather than Quebec.

Sun Media? Lol!
