I think it is mentioned in the epilogue that most of the (male) Commanders were accidentally sterilized in a biological weapons experiment in the early days of the Republic. And a big part of the handmaids program is to essentially perpetuate the misogynistic myth that men cannot be infertile, it’s always the woman’s…

He couldn’t help but wonder It couldn’t help but be wondered by him how Trump could be said to have won the election.
Dudes like him are why I am entering a PhD program in philosophy: to beat them up (intellectually).
Think it’s more a UK vs. US thing. Besides Tori Amos I don’t recognise any of the other artists you mentioned. I grew up in a small town in England - working class and I’m black, 35 years old and I know who Kate Bush is. Listened to her on vinyl and cassette tapes growing up because my aunties were into her.
Pepsi: The only drink bartenders apologise for as they serve it to you.
OK, I used to work at a thrift store and I am an avid thrifter/flea marketer. Why is it supposed to be some glamorous burn that she was an asshole to the store employee or owner or whatever? She got a great deal! Good for her! Don’t be a fucking asshole about it. But don’t haggle at a thrift store. It’s just rude.
It doesn’t matter what anyone else’s thoughts are. You’re clearly uncomfortable with it. Someone else may not be, but YOU are and that’s what matters. He’s clearly not for you so move on.
The fact that you are uncomfortable with it makes all other points moot, really. Run. Drop him. Change your number. Whatever it takes.
Sarah Vine (who wrote this shite) is a professional shit stirrer who is married to the incredibly punchable 1950s throwback Michael Gove. She used her Mail column to write utter nonsense about how her husband couldn’t get an X-Ray at the weekend (would have helped if he’d actually gone to an NHS emergency department)…
Very politely, in all of the most recent studies, surprising even those who ran them — coffee drinkers turned out to be no more dehydrated than non-imbibers. Likely because coffee, itself, is mostly water. You can do a search on this for recent studies. Here is just one example.
Wait, what, is this Cat Deeley as in the British former host of Saturday morning children’s television? Why is she famous in America?!
I stopped reading at “severe food poisoning twice a year.” I’m an eater of sketchy food (both old and purchased at dirty places). I have only had food poisoning ONCE (Mongolian BBQ). So, I call either bullshit or too dim to have worthwhile insight. Twice a damn year? For how many years? What the fuck are you eating?…
I want to come to your parties.
I think Sam was implying because interracial relationships are normalized in the UK, Daniel couldn’t do justice to a role that centered on interracial relationships, so they should have cast an American.
I mean... he used Sam’s words in his counterargument to show how that argument, and Sam’s assumptions about black life in the UK, didn’t speak to his experience.

He was speaking in a general sense but some African Americans do think they have some copyright on blackness. My sophomore year at Howard, this girl asked me if I was black. I’m West Indian and way darker than she was. It confused the hell out of me. Because some people use Black and African American interchangeably,…
We don’t have J Crew in France so maybe that explains her surprise, I said this on another thread but my husband worked on a film with her and says that she was really friendly, funny and approachable.
