Well, uh. A lot happened since I wrote those post but before submitting it, but I'd honestly kinda rather talk about food until we've got some idea of what is happening? So I guess I'll post it anyway if that's okay?


I am aware that it's like, a thing. I guess I have difficulty understand the mindset of someone who would both opt for frozen lasagna and then opt to prepare it in a traditional oven instead of like a microwave or something? I didn't even know they sold oven-safe frozen meals.

Oven baking the lasagna makes for a better end product and has the added benefit of feeling less depressing than microwaving it because at least you put in a semblance of effort in preparing your shame meal.

If you've never encountered Ramsay outside of his US television appearances, where he's literally paid to behave like that because the producers think it's what US audiences want, I can see how you'd come to that conclusion.

Yeah, I watched some episodes of the original UK Hell's Kitchen and he's like a completely different person. He'll still lay down the law with Kitchen Staff and chew them out for doing something wrong, but he isn't a screaming monster about it or calling them loving idiots. He was stern and still intimidating as hell, but didn't come off as an abusive lunatic.

I have never understood this obsession with jeans. I have also never understood why and how anyone thinks of them as "comfortable", they are such unpleasant pants to wear.

I love jeans, I'm most comfortable wearing jeans above all other forms of leg, genital and rear end concealing garments.

If the options are "Be in a relationship with someone I don't like just to not feel lonely" and "Feel lonely sometimes but otherwise do whatever the hell I want when I want without having to consider a second person I don't even like" I know which seems like the better deal to me.

She won't. Owning it would mean having to compare herself to a stripper, and that's a bridge too far for anyone insisting it's pole fitness, not pole dancing.

I remember when I was a bartender, myself and a woman who was also a bartender were having some beers and some how got on the topic of strippers, she started talking poo poo about them so I replied that I didn't see the fundamental difference between what they did and what we did. They worked for mostly tips, providing service to drunk assholes who saw them as lesser than. The only real difference is we were serving them booze while they were getting them horny.

You'd think I'd called her a Nazi or something, she acted like I spit on the sacred name of bartending by comparing two service industry jobs to each other. Never did quite look at her the same again, she talked about strippers the way some rear end in a top hat customers talked about servers, and the irony seemed completely lost on her.

I don't know, I'd be very skeptical of relationships between people who were raised as siblings, even if they're not blood related. Just because they won't make flipper babies doesn't mean there can't be hosed up power dynamics.

If they were raised as siblings I'd agree that'd be weird (watch the CW Flash series and tell me you aren't weirded out by Barry and Iris' relationship), but in this instance they were dating before their parents were. I wouldn't be able to feel like they have a right to end my relationship over a situation they created if I were them. Where was this concern when their parents started dating each other? Did they not think that was awkward and a bit embarrassing for their kids to explain?

Noticing which book someone is reading and then looking up the entire plot synopsis just to spoil for them is a dick move and goes beyond just having a minor spoiler blurted out mid conversation about the thing though.

I love Mass Effect like crazy. I have been binging the gently caress out of the Legendary Edition for the past week. It is quite easily my favorite game series in existence and I can talk for hours about the lore with likeminded nerds if the opportunity presents itself.

The idea of skipping real life family events like the birth of a new family member for Mass Effect (or any other media release) still strikes me as the sort of childish nonsense I wouldn't have pulled beyond the age of 16.

Believing that your beloved partner will change their mind about having a child is the number one saddest relationship-ending thing. You have two people who love each other, who are happy together, who know they could well grow old together. But if they are not together on the kids/no kids front, they are 100% hosed. No matter how much you love a person, if they are at odds with you on this topic, your relationship is dead.
There is no middle ground when it comes to children. :(

EDIT: ^ If South Park has taught me anything it's that they need to pretend she doesn't exist until she is convinced she is a ghost.
That was the first thing I thought.

If the cleaner reported the cocaine I can see the following series of actions happening: Make-up lady will accuse the cleaner of planting it as it is the easiest way to save face. Faced with this accusation the cleaner will get flustered since she was doing something she shouldn't in order to discover the drugs in the first place, her story will be suspicious. Police can't determine who is telling the truth, plus the volume is very low. I can't see them committing too many resources here to investigate a small amount against a relatively affluent woman. Police prefer their fruit to hang lower than that. Unless a cursory search turns up corroborating evidence.

Make-up lady will try and sue the cleaner/her agency in any case to continue to save face. Rather than deal with it her agency/employer will cut their losses, disavow her and throw her under the bus. She'll get very bitter and say how unfair it is that that druggie crack addict ruined her life in a meandering incoherent Reddit post. That post will be posted here as an update and we will all chuckle at it and make puns about snitches.

Seriously, reading her story I never saw a post more worthy of "Mind ya drat business". Ratting her client out would more than likely harm herself and benefit absolutely nobody.
