The teasing one is especially true. I know several couples that claim that “oh, we show our love by teasing”....but to an outsider that “teasing” looks an awful lot like passive aggressive sniping.

I hate that first one. They always frame it as “but I’m doing you a favor by letting us do what you want”....no dude, what I want is to not have to make every damn decision.

I remember first hearing about this years ago in a Dan Savage interview with Dr. Cantor who is a professor of Psychiatry at the University of Toronto https://savage.love/lovecast/2012/01/03/dan-speaks-with-dr-james-cantor-professor-of-psychiatry-at-the-university/. Then, learned more a couple years later, in this…

I don’t know if I agree. How often do visitors go to your bookshelf looking for a particular author/topic. If I go over to a friend’s house, I’m just giving a general look to see what they’ve got. Arranging by color would give something a little extra too look at. And, in fact might get something read more because…

How so? Organizing books in a different way doesn’t necessarily mean someone has read them either. One can have them organized according to the Dewey Decimal system and not have read a single one and just be going for the aesthetic. One can have books scattered in “to-read piles” around the house and never read a…

I think it looks cool too. If my books were different colors I would do it.

I’m not saying people shouldn’t do it, just that if they follow your advice they shouldn’t necessarily expect a full extraction in just a couple months.

It’s funny you claim 90 days as the sweet spot. Most of the people I know that make vanilla won’t even consider using it until at least a year has passed. Personally, I side with them, mine is at ~120 days and while it would make a good drink mixer is definitely not ready to be used in any sort of baked goods and…

I know some people that make their own vanilla that are convinced it is sooooo much better than the store-bought stuff. But, I’d really like to see them do a blind taste test with some of the nicer varieties like Rodelle. Like just because it’s “better” than your local store brand imitation vanilla doesn’t mean much.…

I feel this way whenever I read about Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard. I really want to appreciate their honesty and the fact that relationships aren’t always sunshine and roses, the importance of communication, therapy is a good thing, and all of that. Because relationships are work sometimes.

I work for an organization that offers “non-birth parent” leave, and know men who are reluctant to take it because of the stigma that people like Rogan* perpetuate. Or they take it, are glad they did, but still come back to questions like “did you enjoy your time off?” (no asshole, I didn’t sleep for three weeks and…

I’m very confused by the people who think you should break up with him over this. When I’m over at my boyfriend’s I’ll pick weird videos and go “I can’t wait to see what this does to your YouTube algorithm” and it sounds like your situation is even more subtle than that....I hardly think that is anything egregious.

And the episode is a little not a mockery, but a loving homage. When making the episode, they as Casa Bonita for permission and go it. When given permission, they were asked if they were going to mock it and were basically like "no way! We love Casa Bonita way too much to make fun of it." 

That last part is the part that gets me. Like dude, every time the minimum wage raise comes up you declare that they should "just get better jobs" or "go get training" and so they are and now you are complaining that they "aren't willing to work" 

Is it though? Wouldn’t that have been mentioned? The statement was ”Lili is named after her great grandmother” not “after her great grandmother and great-great-great aunt.” it just sounds like fan speculation to explain why they didn’t use any names from Meghan’s side of the family (don’t know why fans feel a need to…

I can see this. It’s why when getting dogs some people get a border collie and some get a golden retriever.

I started wearing linen pants last summer. They were just as loose and comfy as a dress, but none of the rubbing.

The Monistat gel never did much for me and my thighs have defeated any of the deodorants or other basic things people swear by. The Megababe stuff is by far the best I’ve tried, with Body Glide in a distant second place.

I love Bandelettes! Especially the lace ones where I don't mind if it sometimes peeks out from under my dress. 

Personally, I hear it in Keegan-Michael Key’s voice.
