I don’t know if I had a “purge” so much as my skin just continued on down its monumentally shitty path for a few weeks before Curology really kicked in and cleared stuff up. My skin just maintained its normal level of inflamed, zitty awfulness until one day it just got better, haha.

YES CUROLOGY. I’ve been on a niacinamide/azelaic/clindamycin regimen for 3.5 months now and it is life changing. $20/month is expensive-ish, but nothing compared to what I was previously spending, trying all kinds of new products all the time, just trying to find something that would make my skin stop exploding.

I (fellow Midwesterner) made the same assumption as you, but would also be really confused about seeing potato chips and a sour cream dip in a restaurant. I think I’ve only ever encountered it at people’s houses.

I honestly wouldn’t make any assumptions about it. As a midwesterner, I think I most often encounter “chips and dip” on crappy football Sunday potluck tables, where someone has put out some rippled potato chips and some kind of seasoned sour cream dip thing... but it’s also something I’ve never encountered in a…

That’s one of my biggest takeaways from most bad customer stories. “Was that so hard?” is pretty much a giant flag illustrating what a douchebag you are. (And likely, how wrong you are. Scooping nuts out of a dressing, for someone with a nut allergy? Sounds like a good way to kill someone.)

Did you seriously just come back to this thread, days later, to make a snarky remark about my intelligence?

So you’re suggesting that the mother “demographic” (because you prefer that word to “class”, for reasons I can’t explain but whatever) privileged over the non-mother one?

please go on, these are all things I didn’t know

wow, that’s so interesting, tell me more about your opinion about social norms

Perhaps a dramatization to say “out in public” instead of “to this setting”, yes. But otherwise, speaking of this thread and not of you specifically - plenty of people have asserted that it’s entirely inappropriate to bring your baby to work ONLY because SOME parents are irresponsible and will abuse the privilege. Or,…

I did say that it’d be offensive to treat any other class according to the actions of a few. That’s true. I fail to see how that’s an offensive statement. Race, gender, etc. aren’t the only things considered as a “class” and I never said as much.

Oh I get how that’s offensive. Which is why I didn’t “equate” it. I didn’t call this another holocaust, okay?

Actually, she wasn’t allowed to have the baby all day. She had planned on ditching the kid to do her panel.

But, the fact is that there are environments and events that are not suitable for children, and the fact that an event may be geared towards women, doesn’t mean that we can all concentrate and basically not pay attention to a kid that’s crying or interrupting.

It’s hilarious that you’re trying to paint this as a logistics problem. Like this whole 1000+ thread is just us arguing about whether there are enough seats and bathroom facilities. We’re not arguing about logistics and you know it.

Why are you reading extremes into this situation? “very loud and disruptive”? Where does it say that?

Hyperboles are definitely your thing, huh.

I acknowledged it wasn’t a perfect use of the term, and I never compared it to the holocaust, so calm down. All I said was that the mechanics were the same, which I then illustrated.

“She made two peeps and I took her out,” I said.

So it doesn’t bother you then that we’re all questioning her credibility and putting her on trial and making blanket generalizations about how bad people like her are, as a class?
