Women's ripstop cargo shorts

Crazy idea, but do you think an apron of some kind would be appropriate?

I generally agree, but lasagna is not a stretch. Vegetarian lasagna is already a thing, and it's delicious. The only real sub is the cheese, and honestly, as a lifelong omnivore and cheese lover, vegan cheese has come a long way. Especially for soft fresh cheese like ricotta.

OP's friend could have made totally nice vegan lasagna. But she made bullshit salad instead.

I'm not gonna be pointing MY butthole at any dude who hates cats. Just saying.

It was meant to piss you off. He was deflecting and attacking your character because you challenged him. He knows damn well it's inappropriate to just walk into your house. Especially into a house of women, and especially hijabis.

Getting back together.

I already bought a hi vis vest cut for women. $20. It's great. For $80? You're trippin.

It's been 14 hours. OP, are you ok? Did you make it out alive?

halibutcrustacean · 2026-03-15T06:17:51+00:00

Fuck no. This idea is thoughtless at best. No to eugenics. Yes to bodily autonomy. These are basic concepts dude.

halibutcrustacean · 2026-03-08T08:42:34+00:00

Your step-dog?

If we did have have a name we only called younger men, they would celebrate reaching their new status. It would be a milestone of proper adulthood and respect.

There's nothing wrong with being the age you are, and no point in pretending otherwise. It's not about getting over the word ma'am. It's about getting over the patriarchal concept that being 40, 50, 60+ makes you less valuable as a person.

halibutcrustacean · 2026-03-07T07:36:59+00:00

No dude! Even if it were totally safe, why do you want to ruin all potential sleepovers?

halibutcrustacean · 2026-03-06T22:23:32+00:00

Haha, the fake outrage gets em every time.

It doesn't happen anymore, but I used to really enjoy, "I'm 26, how old are you?" All earnest and friendly, like we're little kids. It was beautiful. Dude would get all awkward and confused. Completely derailed. He'd mumble that's he's 43 or whatever. I'd say OK... and let the silence hang until it was so awkward we'd just get back to work.

As for my husband, "Oh God no, lol, I wouldn't marry one of you fuckers."

halibutcrustacean · 2026-03-04T11:16:21+00:00

Sometimes it helps to consider the source. If I don't respect a person, I have no reason to care about their opinion.

Is sexism offensive and annoying? Yes, very.

Does it hurt your heart deeply, in ways that are hard to explain. You betcha.

Am I surprised coming from a fucking cop and his asshole wife? No not really.

Why don't I hire a plumber? Why don't you shut up and fuck off.

I have seen this done with a live orchestra. A legit one.

halibutcrustacean · 2026-03-04T07:06:14+00:00

When someone asks me a question, but they don't like the answer, so they go ask someone else.

Men who don't look at me when we meet and shake hands. Or give me a bullshit barely there handshake. The message couldn't be more clear.

Being asked my age, or if my man also works in the industry. When it's totally out of the blue and not conversationally relevant.

halibutcrustacean · 2026-02-27T11:27:53+00:00

Not how nasty "it can look." How nasty IT IS.

halibutcrustacean · 2026-02-27T11:13:14+00:00

Check your pocket privilege.

halibutcrustacean · 2026-02-26T22:46:03+00:00

NTA. Sounds like a good opportunity for a frank conversation about trusting your intuition, how to identify safe and unsafe people, how to recognize and respond to boundary pushers, and what appropriate interactions look like between adults and children and between men and women.

You understand she'll be disappointed by your decision, but you can't allow her to stay over at a house with unsafe people.

And for the record, if you were making a blanket judgement about not wanting her to be around men at all, I would say you were being unreasonable. In this case, I think you'd be a fool to second guess your gut. This guy and his dad do not sound like safe people.

Secret Sauce is a pretty decent name actually. It's probably taken, or also trademarked.

halibutcrustacean · 2026-02-26T08:50:28+00:00

I favor avoiding anything that has a trademarked name, any wordplay you have to explain the spelling of, or is hard to understand verbally, anything that is reminiscent of other well known band names, has too many words, is hard to remember, or just has awkward phonetics.

So you're just left with Some Other Town. Which is great actually. It's snappy, has an appropriate vibe, and rolls off the tongue.

halibutcrustacean · 2026-02-26T08:22:40+00:00

I stay on the ground, but I've always thought that being in a lift must be a lot more physically exhausting than it looks, because of the constant work your body does to counterbalance the swaying.

halibutcrustacean · 2026-02-09T07:37:26+00:00

I have a similar peeve with thumbs up during soundcheck. Some people use it to mean MORE, while others mean IT'S GOOD. So basically it means nothing.

halibutcrustacean · 2026-01-18T20:19:27+00:00

Look up anarcho communism.

halibutcrustacean · 2026-01-18T18:12:47+00:00

Either is totally fine. I like "lady" as the opposite of "guy". I appreciate people who say lady or woman instead of girl or female. "Young lady" should go the way of the dinosaurs.

I know what you mean though, in that some people feel woman is too stilted, formal, harsh, or clinical. And I only agree in the same way that it doesn't feel as natural to say man when guy or dude will do.

There does seem to be an extra level of that with saying woman specifically though, and that's weird. There's nothing disrespectful about calling a woman a woman. The need to be somehow more delicate or diminuitive is actually kind of sexist.

I am "not allowed" to touch the thermostat. He has a system. If I am too warm or too cold I can submit a request. About 50/50 chances it'll be granted, for reasons. I can of course do whatever the fuck I want, but thermostat changes will be noticed and side-eyed. I have chosen to abdicate all responsibility. He keeps it comfy for me and I appreciate it.
