Ok. I don't even ... so much going on in this thread so I'll just reply to you, right here at the head of the thread.
So how about Jesse Eisenberg in the short film "Some Boys Don't Leave"?

Know who LOVES to cook tasty, healthy food from scratch? My husband. Also, tons of my male friends. What I see most often in "foodie" couples and families is EVERYONE cooks. If people care about food, they care about food. If they don't care, they don't care. There are plenty of SAH Moms and Dads (and working Moms and…

right? is this person not even tasting her beverage? I am a drunk ass who drinks her booze too fast. Guess what. If I am drinking a fancy old wine (or other booze) I manage to avoid drinking the sediment sludge at the bottom. I don't just open my gullet and pour my drink straight into my stomach. If I knew there was a…

yeah, some folks can get kinda intense here. No worries! :) My own brand of feminism is of the "Can't we all just get along?" variety. "There's only one rule that I know of, babies—God damn it, you've got to be kind."

uh, yeah. I know. I was agreeing with you and making a similar joke. I was also being funny and suggesting that I am such a nerd that I poohpooh misogyny in the face of crimes of grammar.

oof I have been the subject of such betting before, really gross feeling. In my case it was some guys in my wider social circle in college. In a humorous turn of events they didn't realize that I had been quietly dating one of the guys they tried to get in the betting pool. He (and some other friends) told me about…

Full disclaimer, I didn't go to Prom. At all. Ever. Now we have that out of the way, I wonder if the "people spending the most can afford it the least" thing isn't, at least in part, because lower earning households are more likely to hold with older social traditions. What I mean is back in my grandparents' day Prom…

I don't. Even the "everyday vs date make-up" thing ISpeakJive brought up ... yeah there is a difference but I do it for me, not him. When applying make-up I go full Buffalo Bill, "Would you fuck me? I'd fuck me. I'd fuck me hard. I'd fuck me so hard."
hmm maybe that is where the line is confusing? When I hear "What…

Yup. Filling your eyebrows really "cleans up" your look. For the lazy person (a group in which I consider myself a member in <i>eh, whatever</i> standing) doing it the way Emma Stone does (and I do) is great. I have light-ish hair but dark brows so I go a shade lighter than my brow color, if you have lighter brows you…

I *like* buttered Popcorn jellybeans, I don't know about these "black licorice" jellybeans you speak of. You mean the devil turds? I just throw those away.

ok, *slightly* better, but still, you don't drain fancy wines because of sediment at the bottom. How hard is it to just drink a glass of champagne <i>that you know has a rock in the bottom</i> the same way you would drink a glass of fancy wine that has beeswing in it?

oooh to be snobby or not to be?
Fuck it.
Really? You can't avoid a RING in your glass because you are chugging your drink so fast? How do you drink really fancy shit that has beeswing in it? Or do you just love a shot of cream of tartar with your wine?

Then perhaps you would like to join us in the your/you're nerd rage? That boat has plenty of room!

I will give you that we all deserve fermented grape. Chin Chin ladies (and gents)!

Hmmm *is* that kindness? Everyone knows that grape is THE WORST jellybean flavor. WHAT CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY MUST I HAVE COMMITTED TO DESERVE GRAPE? I am a decent, law abiding human being! I deserve watermelon!

YES! Misogyny is awful, but screwing up "Your" and "You're"? Now I want him PUNISHED.

In a statement bound to cause "SEE!?! Men can't do anything right! We just don't know how to please you ladies!" type hand wringing and teeth gnashing ... Dude, if you offer me some kind of dead fish, non-grip hand shake ... I <b>will</b> ask my husband/male friends what kind of handshake you gave them. If you gave a…

I think it does. It isn't why I picked my SN but it is part of why I have kept it. I am often assumed to be male online because of the SN and (I guess) my personality.

I have edited it before and I think that 1. my gender neutral to skewing masculine SN probably helps 2. weirdly, editing Wikipedia is/was WAY less scary than editing TVTropes. Maybe because my Wikipedia edits are very 'dry toast' "just the facts ma'am." and TVTropes edits are often much more subjective? Also, you can…

Eh, it is less about breaking the internet and more about keeping such lists to a manageable size for users and editors. At a certain point, when reading through a giant list, your eyes glaze over and your brain starts humming the theme to "Pinky and the Brain" (or at least mine does when looking a giant lists devoid…
