Also: “tablescape.” Come on.

This thread inspired me to renew my fantasy searches for the best contemporary dining tables. Here’s an acceptable glass table: http://www.archiexpo.com/prod/roche-bobois/product-9378-1298523.html

I’ve taken a lot of cheesy “holiday meal” table pics in my life, but never not once have I had the urge to climb up there with my food. Naomi, get your ass off the table.

Glass is almost always hideous, unless it’s well-designed contemporary furniture. Beveled-edge glass with tacky chandelier and hideous table settings (and Christmas tree?) is revolting.

I just watched a few episodes of Insecure on the plane and have actually considered getting HBO again so I can finish it. I can’t believe I’ve been missing out!

Love is denim and checkerboard shoes.

Oh yes. It’s so insidious and manipulative because he does it under the guise of horror and outrage and “listening”; it took me years to figure out what he’s really up to with that shit. So, so gross.

Oh believe me, I am learning that lesson. He’s hanging by a thread...

oh he’s far more subtle. He does it in the guise of knowing the proper terminology—but really, we’d all know what he meant if he just said “second in command” instead of “bottom bitch.” He is literally the worst. I expect some nasty shit will come out about him someday, 100%. 

The article links to a Gawker post about the first woman and Shkreli.

Then, glasses still askew, she was photographed for this stock photo.

That’s such a good point—by focusing on the most egregious examples, they deny responsibility for the more common everyday rapes, then go over salacious details again and again. I’m a researcher and have a colleague who just can’t get enough of the details of sex trafficking cases—to the point where I’ve organized the…

And interrupting you to mansplain it to you. While waxing rhapsodic about their stay at home wife who doesn’t “sub-contract out our childrearing.” Your anecdata checks out.

Good god, yes. You should meet some of the men who work with me on sex trafficking issues, who just love to establish their street cred by slinging pimp lingo. But they’re doing it to protect us ladies, not for vicarious thrills, dontcha know.

Oooooh yes that is true.

When Martin Shkreli isn’t your worst boyfriend.....yikes. Shit’s rough out there, girls.

He is absolutely going to say “It was you I was looking for” the first time he spins around in that stupid chair.

Lionel Richie is as corny as his 80's hits would suggest.

I don’t disagree with you at all, I just had to comment to say that I actually have friends, a married couple, named Becky and Chad. Luckily, I’m 99% sure they wouldn’t pick the Nazis.

This is another problem that single-payer could potentially help with, and also one of the coded reasons people are afraid of single-payer. I had a lovely friend who is an internist, trained twice (once in his native Pakistan and again in London). He worked for the VA (i.e., single-payer). He is a very religious…
