This is only tangentially a food story, but it ends up in a Starbucks, so there you go.

why should she? looks good on her and if she has it checked regularly she doesn’t need to worry about skin cancer.

Someone on Groupthink recently asserted, in all seriousness, that it is “anti-feminist” to say that needing an unplanned afternoon off to take care of a sick child or parent is in any way different than wanting an unplanned afternoon off to see a movie. My brain still hurts from that one.

it’s like sick leave. You give it to whom needs it. I don’t complain about “having to work extra because I’m healthy. And if you are going to tell me that parents chose it just let me remind you that not all of them chose it and that treating sick leave different from famiky leave because some people chose it sounds a…

Because you aren’t contributing to the survival of our species?

You’re also the one who depends on the children of parents taking maternaity leave to fund your Social Security when you retire.

Are you a person who was once an infant? Then you either received or were denied the benefits of parental leave.

Did he say it was a legal obligation? Chill the fuck out you spaz.

Because she won a pageant. Pageant queen. There ya go.

Park is a very common Korean last name, so I disagree that there would be anything wrong with that assumption. I thought she was Korean, but it’s possibly because I’ve done some work with South Korean schools. Maybe the average American doesn’t have this knowledge.

You can’t tell me that it didn’t occur to the casting director that someone named Park is supposed to be Korean. They also <i>made up</i> a character named Ryoko, who isn’t even in the book, and cast her with a non-Asian actress too.

The fact is that casting directors just don’t give a shit, and they should.

Not only is Park a common Korean surname, but the author himself has said that she was intended to be Korean American: https://domesoph.wordpress.com/2015/05/02/and…

This. I got dumped via text last night by someone I’d been seeing for three months, and my reaction was, “Okay. No big deal.” He offered an explanation, and I said, “None necessary. I wish you luck!” Not for one hot second did I think of getting a gun and murdering unrelated people.

I’ve been eventually dumped or rejected or made to feel like shit in some capacity by almost every dude I’ve ever fucked or wanted to fuck and yet somehow I’ve managed to never mass murder

I’m surprised someone hasn’t tried to give the whole “girls don’t sleep with me so I’m murderous” thing a name in the hopes of legitimizing it. Like testicular retention induced psychosis. Or a friendlier sounding “He had a case of the jizzblocked cranial crazies.”

The problem is guns. Not mental illness, not misogyny, not male entitlement. Those are other problems, with other solutions. The problem causing mass shootings is guns.

“So, your table stopped me and asked what kind of fish they had was because they thought you were lying to them; I told them it was cod and they asked why we didn’t have real fish.”

I’ve never seen any of the Kardashian shows (I think I saw a sneaker ad with Kim and Kris once?), so I have no personal stake in the War of Kardashian Independence. But I will confess this: the deep, bubbling, effervescent joy I feel when watching people LOSE THEIR FUCKING MINDS about this family is profound. It’s…

This is what happens when you don’t copy and paste that disclaimer on Facebook.

It’s somewhere near the ear, right?
