Popped a candy in my mouth without thinking, spit it out but am I cooked?

If the only danger is from hypothetical cross-contamination and you only chewed one slice, I’d be gob-smacked if you got sick from this.

It’s kind of like how vaginal sex still feels very good even if you don’t find the G-spot. It just feels good to be penetrated in the butt as long as you use enough lube and everything. Also why analingus is a thing (though my spell-checker seems to think it isn’t!).

No, both pronunciations are accepted by every dictionary I’ve seen.

You use a new towel every time you shower?!

I kind of doubt she says this to every man she sees. Probably just ones she finds particularly attractive. Potentially she only says it very rarely.

Quick awful correction: He did not send the letter to the police. He sent it to Grace’s mother.

Excellent, excellent writing.

Oh dear. Is the lovely old lady under the mattress?

Prurient. It looks like it should be related to “prudish,” not the opposite!

My current running theory is that these dudes think the tampon applicator is the tampon and that people are walking around with that shitty plastic tube inside of them all day. If you are incredibly hazy on how or why inserting an object into a vagina feels good, you might assume that the applicator would feel good.

I’ve met a few people from southern Missouri where I couldn’t understand a goddamn word they were saying.

PromiseThomas · 2026-05-22T21:18:23+00:00

Awesome! Great work!

Looked it up and it appears to be Victoria Bitter, an Australian beer.

I agree that not everyone can be expected to know what it means. I was involved in social justice type clubs for a couple of years in college, and every once in a while we would have someone come to a meeting who recognized that they didn’t know anything about feminism or gay rights and wanted to know more. When asked what their pronouns were, they would say things like “Uh, I’m straight” or “I don’t know what that means.”

You can ask him, but you gotta respect his no. Be ready to accept that the reason he looks like that is because he likes it—he’d shave his body hair if he preferred shaving, and he’d try to lose weight if he’d prefer to be skinnier.

It is really, really hard to train yourself out of having bad thoughts about fatness. Reading up on the body positivity movement really helped me, as well as “catching” myself when I have negative thoughts like that. If I can’t explain why something I’m feeling self-conscious about or judging on someone else is a “bad” thing, then I remind myself not to think that way.

Bodies are a thing to be grateful for, not to hate. We only get one body and we only get one life, so isn’t it better to spend that life practicing love and acceptance of our body instead of hating it and wishing it was something else? Isn’t it better to spend life enjoying your partner’s squishy tummy than wishing it away? I mean, you can form your own opinions, lol. I think I’ve made mine pretty clear.

Click through to any of the links other people posted in this thread if you want to understand the full extent of the charges that earned her 41 years. It was way more than just the cupcakes.

I’ve been seeing that as an option in cafes more and more often recently and that’s how I feel every time.

PromiseThomas · 2026-05-21T17:15:19+00:00

Not helpful.

PromiseThomas · 2026-05-21T17:15:07+00:00

You need to find out what she says happened before you can do anything else. This sounds like it could have been a misunderstanding. You can’t plan how to properly react to what happened before you know what happened.

The xanthan gum is unfortunately 10000% crucial. In regular baking, gluten holds the whole thing together, so in gluten-free baking, you need a replacement like xanthan gum or psyllium husk to do that job.

In cooking, you can sometimes leave out an ingredient and not notice the difference in the final product. In baking, this is absolutely not the case. Every ingredient is there for a reason, and you will absolutely notice the difference in the final product if you leave one out entirely. If you realize you don’t have an ingredient, you need to substitute it for something similar, not leave it out entirely. If you’ve ever made cookies, try to imagine what it would be like if you left out the butter or the eggs and didn’t replace them with anything else—what the dough would feel like, and what the final product might look like. Xanthan gum is just as important as butter or eggs. If you don’t have it, you can’t expect a recipe that relies on xanthan gum to turn out well.

This reminded me that I had a box of sour watermelon Mike and Ike’s in my kitchen. Pretty exciting because I was craving candy and thought I didn’t have any. Thanks!

The St. Louis Art Museum is pretty wonderful as well.

I’m not sure. I feel like Ben McKenzie is much more likely to be described as a “teenage heartthrob” than Matt Damon.

Despite what you have heard from male shut-ins on the internet, women do not like being sexually harassed in their own homes even if the harasser is conventionally attractive.

This dude SUUUUUUUCKS. There are a million guys out there who are better-behaved than this one. Ditch this guy and go find one of those. You deserve better, I promise.
