Is it really a humblebrag to say I read fast? Or was it the drinking at home part you didn’t like?

humblebrag much?

Does every man commit rape? There is a human element here that is real and we cannot legislate. Would we take away the freedom of all men by castration because some cannot handle what they have?

I knew a guy whose friend would pick skin off his face and eat it while just sitting around. The first time I met him I was dumbstruck, he didn’t seem fazed by it at all. But there he was - picking flaking skin off his face, absently rubbing it between his fingers, then popping it in his mouth. He was sitting in our…

JL: Yes, I did. And now [gestures widely] I am a successful woman who has not had a pregnancy.

I remember the first day I got access to my subordinates’ salary roster, and I was SHOCKED. I genuinely didn’t understand why one of the guys is being paid half again what the most promising/accomplished woman was. I have no idea how that negotiation would have gone down, and I wish I’d been part of it, because fuck…

As a Brit we do tend to shy away from conversations about money. We’re taught that it is something you don’t talk about.

I was doing just this last night, but with a jar of nutella and a tablespoon.

I’m wondering if it’s a ruse. That the male Japanese designer isn’t really Japanese and male.

He’s very bossy and reminds me of what a ‘little girl’ I am all the time.

This guy is disgusting. “Like dating veal????”

Are you all serious. Thanks for explaining everything that is beside the point.

You have the advantage of searching for their name after it’s rocketed up in the Google search algorithm. At the time they arrived, it was likely much harder to unearth. Even if they did... Matching a grainy YouTube video of eight identically-dressed stage-makeup’d Korean girls to eight Korean girls who just got off a…

They’re searchable, but I wouldn’t be surprised that the TSA isn’t savvy enough about K-pop to understand what they’re looking at since it’s mostly video. Also it’s all in Korean, since the group’s too small to have international fans who translate.

They’re rookies. They’re going cattle class and they’re earning nothing.

It sounds like the problem was linguistic. The paperwork checked out, but then someone heard them referring to each other with family terms (sister/brother) and eight young women plus a few twentyish men is not a family. So they dug deeper and then things got weirder.

I don’t think they are well-known in Korea, though. There are a LOT of K-pop acts, and this one isn’t one that rings bells. I think they’re a rookie/new group.

“Who are you traveling with” gets the answer “my seven older sisters” referring to seven girls right around your age, and then the follow-up of “and who is your guardian” gets “my older brother” referring to what is probably a 25 year old guy? I don’t blame the TSA for being seriously suspicious.

Korean uses terms like “older sister” or “younger sister” frequently in non-blood relations (same with brothers). It sounds like something got horribly lost in interpretation and the TSA were suddenly faced with a group of teenagers (all carrying matching outfits) traveling with a few older men who weren’t their…

Yes. That is what he is saying. The other interpretation is both weird and doesn’t fit the movement of his lips.
