Oh how horrible, I’m so sorry that happened! Poor dear bun.

I nearly lost my damn mind when I heard that ad the first time, it is *so* condescending and paternalistic. Don’t listen to Lidl!! (or whoever the fuck that is, I’ve blocked it from my mind)

Listen, Stout, you are NOT taking into consideration those of us who don’t get Thanksgiving, American or otherwise! It is Not Fair to ask us to go without yelling at our racist uncles for that long.

I am very amused at the thought of how those names would be pronounced in that wild Queen’s English accent.

That’s so sad about the labrador, but sometimes it is the only decision that makes sense. We had 2 dachshunds growing up (wieners represent!), the younger was 6 or 7, the elder about 14/15 when my family immigrated to Canada. My dad arrived there about 6 months before us and the dogs were due to be shipped once he had…

Bet you didn’t think you’d be writing a sentence like that when you woke up yesterday morning!

Same, that was a shitty way to inaugurate the first African American heroine. So many great characters in that movie!

I say this with all the generalized affection in the world but JESUS CHRIST, FUCKING MEN

Theoretically there’s Tiana, but I’m not sure that she is *technically* a princess and she spends most of the movie as a green frog so...

This is incredible. Thank you for finding them so I didn’t have to go looking.

This thread is so ridiculously pedantic and I love everything about it.

A fine idea but I’m not sure what the pres of Nam(i)bia did to deserve this

With people like colleagues or more distant acquaintances I go the “that’s a weirdly personal question” route, usually not in those specific words but in that time (“that’s not in the cards for me” + subject change), but with anyone who is a bit closer I’m honest about why (don’t want the responsibility, value my…

Hey. I hope you feel you can come back to commenting soon. I’ve always noted your comments as Very Good. I’m going to commit to not interacting with the bad commenter, and to speaking out when I see something, and I hope if several of us do that this will be a safer space for you and SP&A again.

The general consensus among my South African friends (incl. me) is that he murdered her in cold blood/a fit of rage, knowing full well she was behind that door.

Was your comment in reply to someone else, perhaps? If not you’re going to have to give me some context to understand it, please.

THIS is the kind of content I come to jezebel dot com for - exactly the right amount of snark, directed at exactly the right target (fucking $39 for fucking soap??!).

Of all the things I was expecting, this was not one of them.
