The two Targets closest to me never have any mediums/larges left in women’s clothing. If I end up there I dutifully try either a small or an extra large to get an idea of what the garment will look like, then order online while literally standing in the dressing room. It’s ridiculous.

So... an incompetent yokel, yes, the administration’s political appointments are full of them, but why this particular incompetent yokel for this particular job? How did he get this job? Who was he connected to? Azar has no obvious connections to Texas that a casual Google is turning up...

Raw fresh ingredients or 100% safe ingredients: pick one. Any place that serves raw vegetables in large quantities will eventually have some sort of contamination issue because of how we do our farming. If you want to eat super safe fast food, you’ll have to get processed everything.

A very reasonable thing to want, given the circumstances.

Zero national or international experience and no getting around it.

Hahahaha... oh, wait. Are people actually serious about Stacy Abrams being a heartbeat away from the presidency as a 77-year-old’s VP? Governor of Georgia, sure, if they could have made that work. President of the United States? Her highest government experience is as a member of the Georgia state House, and that was…

...not that Joe was actually able to name all six of those items in real time. He said economy twice and forgot healthcare entirely. The look on Bernie’s face was really something.

I absolutely refuse to participate in any attempted revival of “shabby chic” or “country” anything. I lived through the pink and green eighties and nineties everything-is-distressed-and/or-floral decor once. I ain’t doing it again.

Tells you a little something about the quality of their Artemis Fowl attempt.

The analogy to cigarettes is kind of terrible. No one is going to get to the gas pump, see this label, and go, “Gee, you’re right, I’m not going to fill my tank today!” They’re going to fill up and go to work and pick up their kids from school, because transportation is necessary.

There seems to be an idea that older voters in general hold that the candidate who appears to be in the exact middle of all the candidates on both sides is by default the best candidate. I have had any number of older relatives and acquaintances happily identify Biden as that candidate to me. “He’s right in the…

I just bought a Note 10+ in August. The heck would I need a new phone for this soon? Talk to me in four or five years, or whenever the battery goes.

So Trepp got moved to the second/third arc? Interesting. (For non-book-readers: Book!Trepp was the character that got Kovacs out of the Panama Rose Fightdrome, not Rei.) As someone primarily familiar with the books, I’d been side-eyeing some of the show’s decisions to combine separate women in the books into single…

My fire team members are all on Xbox One Xs and the load times are an eternity. There is a collective groan whenever one of us forgets something/needs something from the vault and we have to go back to the Tower. Menus are also laggy as hell.

I am so, so, SO GLAD 22-year-old me didn’t settle. He was great on paper! Good internships, good school, good job, handsome, articulate, sense of humor. But also possessive, said creepy shit about underage girls when it was only me who could hear, compared my personality and body negatively to said girls, was vaguely…

All I know about the current state of American politics is that my husband keeps coming up behind me and kissing me on the neck and murmuring “Joe Biden” and I can’t be held legally responsible for what happens to him the next time he does it.

Buttigieg concerns me primarily because he’s one of the “everything is more or less fine” candidates (Biden is another). He’s smart and clean cut and soothing and he’s not going to rock any boats. You could probably stop thinking about politics every day under a Pete administration, like how it was under Obama.

Yeah, I got a COBRA estimate in the mail after I lost my last job. I read it, had a good laugh, and went uninsured for five months. It would have cost me over $6,000 to maintain insurance for that period.

I have a family member who expects totally separate meals consisting of the approximately six or seven foods he will eat prepared for him in addition to whatever the rest of the family is having. At other people’s homes or at restaurants, he will either submit an incredibly specific special order for little kid-style…

I never really got the rabid Chipotle hate. (Labor law violations are bad, obviously- I’m talking strictly about the food.) We have a Chipotle and various local, family-run Mexican places in my area which exist on a spectrum of how #authentic they are. They and Chipotle are separate things. No one I know locally thinks…
