Reading through this it seems the entirely justified anger at gentrification and the associated what I’d call “poverty-tourism” (see the still relevant Common People by Pulp), where richer or “affluent” individuals choose to move to “rougher” areas because of the “culture” of the place without thinking how that ends…

36, but same!! We have a great time living together. Way more fun than living with a significant other.

I’m 32 and my roommate and I are buddies and, because we’re splitting the rent, we live in a beachside penthouse. Yeah I still have a roommate, sorry not sorry.

The only approved use of glitter should be using it as packing material for sex toys and sending them to Family Values/Religious Nutter GOP politicians.

My roommate and I have a super good Grey Gardens thing going on. It is pretty ideal. And neither of us will ever marry, so we make old lady plans. If we decide to like a boy, he has to live in the yard.

I love my husband, but damn if I don’t miss my roommate. We have a pact to move back in together in our old age, regardless of whether our husbands are still around. Some roomie situations turn out great and into lifelong friendships!

Hello I am 37 and my roommate is my best friend. *shrug emoji*

omg i thought it was just me!

in Dutch it’s apestaartje. from aap (monkey)+ staartje (little tail). Because of the letter a which has a tail. I always thought that cute.

I don’t see what the problem is. He wants to put a knee up his asshole. That’s what he song means, right?

It’s собака (sobaka) in Russian, which means dog. Don’t dog me at least makes some sense.

You can’t separate a parent and a child because the parent is embarassing socially, nobody would have parents.

You can strudel me anytime ;)

Letter Writer #1:

Actually pretty solid advice.

How can anyone misspell MadPiglet?

I specifically take issue with the inclusion of a mermaid front and center on every Starbucks cup. They’re an abomination and Noah left them off the ark for a reason. There were space issues and they can swim anyway. Also they maybe consume human flesh.

I looooove these cups! They’re so cute and give me something to look at while I’m on the bus (aside from the “hilarious” spellings of my incredibly common first name).

Cecilia, I just want to say how much I appreciate your role as Kotaku’s resident Weird Shit People Do on the Internet reporter.

I don’t see that.
