How is the classic, constantly culturally-referenced and ubiquitous bouquet of long-stemmed red roses in any way "inspired by" Robin Thicke?

What supermarket birthday cakes are you eating?!

This. Crumbs cupcakes are disgusting. They are on the same level as birthday cake from the supermarket. Slathering nasty, corn-syrup-filled "frosting" on top of stale, unimaginative cake-product does not a good cupcake make.

They're also really delicious chopped into ribbons, sautéed lightly in olive oil and tossed with fettucine, parmesan and toasted pine nuts.

A flavor more subtle than Brussels sprouts?? They're not exactly strong as it is. It sounds like these tiny cabbage hybrids will taste of nothing.

I think it's hilarious that just about every package of corn tortilla chips has "GLUTEN FREE" all over it. And even more hilarious/suspicious that a lot of gluten free snack foods are just a total corn-a-thon. As if our (American) diets aren't full of enough corn as it is—now they've come for the wheat.

One of these things is not like the other. 2/10 troll.

As luck would have it, you don't get to make such decisions! I hope you enjoy your hateful approach to living in society: you must be a very happy person.

Agreed. The alcohol withdrawal argument is a great one. Personally, when I give money to the homeless, I don't care what they use it for—if someone in that position wants to feel something other than the sober state of their existence, who am I to judge? If they want to buy coffee, cigarettes, alcohol or drugs, what…

"Education" doesn't qualify you for shit.

Her insane, classist worldview is easily summed up by her last sentence:

Your "solution" seems to be that anyone who suddenly finds themselves in a lower income bracket should sell off all of their worldly possessions and shop strictly at Goodwill or other consignment stores to replace said possessions. Are you capable of comprehending the absurdity of this position? The inherent…

This looks fantastic. Strayed is brilliant—I'm waiting for a short vacation later this month to devour Tiny Beautiful Things.

I haven't seen him IRL, but I agree: Theroux does NOT need to be 'shopped!

Why does she look so surprised?

To be fair, she was positively grating on that.

If these space aliens are the sort that are hostile to life on Earth, I 100% believe this headline.

I think you've found your new calling. :)
