Valid question. I haven’t eaten there in years.

Maybe Chick-fil-A wouldn’t give them a third sauce packet. Did you ever think maybe this person was doing their best in a sauce-deprived world?

Oh yeah, and the misunderstanding could be solved if the leads had one 5 minute conversation.

The latter is Lifetime.

Just add her falling in love with (and then subsequently blowing up?) a man in a flannel shirt and I think you could talk hallmark into it.

Wow how dare you? Big city career woman goes home to small town for the holidays and falls in love with her childhood sweetheart and dumps her evil fiance who worked on Christmas, big city career woman who swore off men falls in love and surprise! he’s actually the prince of a small but wealthy English-speaking country in Europe, and big city career woman goes home to small town for the holidays and saves one of the local businesses from foreclosure and falls in love with the owner who is also hot Santa are totally different stories.

The only thing I disagree with is that he finds being president stressful. He’s both incredibly stupid and lazy, so I don’t think he really even gives a shit about what his staff is doing as long as they keep jerking off his ego and don’t interrupt his golf and McDonald’s time. He’s likely not even aware of most of it, except whatever gets fed to him to post on social media.

Man, we gotta pump those numbers up. Get our bite force on the next level.
- Comment on "You'll end up in a van down by the river" if you do drugs, don't go to college, etc. advice never includes the warning: "Don't suffer major Depression that gives you complete apathy for existence." 3 weeks ago:
Jokes on those people, now people live in vans on purpose (and I definitely can’t afford one).
- Comment on Vinegar 1 month ago:
The vinegar situation where I am atm has kind of made me more depressed? Some of it is straight up ass, and the salt & vinegar chips have been pretty terrible across the board. I love vinegar, too, so I’m very sad. Maybe the vinegar has to taste good to work.
- Comment on Why do I feel sick every time I go out to eat with my gf? 1 month ago:
Maybe she’s poisoning you just a tiny bit at a time. Kidding, but have you guys eaten a meal at home together without you feeling sick?
- Comment on New Email Scam Includes Pictures of Your House. Don’t Fall For It. 1 month ago:
My mom and I have talked about that kind of thing and she knows to call me directly if someone ever tries to say something happened to me. She’s not stupid, but maybe just not growing up with people constantly trying to scam her at every turn hasn’t prepared her for the depths these assholes will sink to, and they’ve gotten so much more sophisticated.
- Comment on New Email Scam Includes Pictures of Your House. Don’t Fall For It. 1 month ago:
I keep kind of hoping I get this one. I’m ace, so I definitely haven’t been watching porn of any kind, and my house has changed dramatically since the last time google came by, so it would just be entertaining. But then I see people on nextdoor all freaked out that “someone has pictures of their house,” and it makes me wish for a large, extremely targeted sinkhole to open up under all these scammers.

Well in that case, can Kevin sleep with me?
- Comment on Humans should lay eggs 1 month ago:
No thank you. The eggs would have to be enormous to develop into a human baby, and laying one of those every month would suck.
- Comment on I hope you don't have any plans this evening. 2 months ago:
It’s almost 9pm where I am and there’s no sign of it. Jesus better hurry his ass up if he wants to be on time.
- Comment on Is assasin's creed origins good? 2 months ago:
I enjoyed it. It’s definitely a different feel than previous AC games, so if you go in hoping for that, you might be disappointed. I think it’s definitely worth checking out, especially if you can get it on sale.
- Comment on children 2 months ago:
Yeah, my teachers would’ve been pretty concerned if I couldn’t spell July in 4th grade (instead they were like, “she’s super book smart but holy shit she has zero social skills,” on all my report cards). But I guess you never know what else was going on. I have a friend with a learning disability who is smart but still can’t spell even as an adult. Some of my other friends are way smarter than me and spelling just isn’t their strong suit for whatever reason.
- Comment on I've heard it clears up again after the first wave of divorces 3 months ago:
Yes but the post title is what I was responding to.
- Comment on I've heard it clears up again after the first wave of divorces 3 months ago:
No kidding. I’m apparently the only person who has ever had an amicable divorce where we just realized we weren’t compatible and never felt the need to bash each other. The post-divorce crowd can be pretty dire. They should mandate a certain number of therapy sessions before you can sign up for a dating app.
- Comment on How does renouncing citizenship work? 3 months ago:
Yeah you didn’t remember correctly at all. The fee to renounce citizenship is ~$2300 for everyone. For the IRS piece, you file a final tax return the year you renounce citizenship, and they check to see if you’ve been compliant and paid everything you owe for the previous 5 years, but the exit tax only kicks in if you’re worth over $2 million, paid an average of a shitload of taxes (like more than twice the US median household income, so most people aren’t going to qualify) over the previous 5 years, or don’t certify that you’re in compliance. IF you have a lot of money, they treat it as though you’ve sold everything you own and calculate what that would be worth, deduct $821,000 (as of last year), then tax the rest of the amount they calculated. Then you’re done, unless you happen to have US income after that.
- Comment on Rural Towns Are Aging, Cash-Strapped and in Desperate Need of Workers 3 months ago:
The small town a lot of my family lived in has literally nothing to do. Going to Walmart and teen pregnancy were basically the activities of choice. Now meth (and teen pregnancy, tbh) is the activity of choice because people are so fucking bored. You couldn’t pay me to live there. Plus, the jobs that are available are almost universally garbage. It’s great that you’re happy there, but plenty of the people who live in those towns are miserable but don’t have the ability to leave for some reason or another.

Yeah, but what about what the rest of us deserve? It’s so awful.
- Comment on Kids and their computers these days. 3 months ago:
Honestly, sounds like my dog. She would throw pretty much any other dog under the bus, especially the ones with the gall to approach her fence.
- Comment on dumbass 3 months ago:
I really hope he just has the worst injector in the world and this isn’t permanent. If it’s a face lift, it’s what he deserves, but I’m not sure the rest of us should have to look at him like that forever.
- Comment on Kids and their computers these days. 3 months ago:
This truck is on to something. I asked my dog if she put a nano chip on my body and she said no, but it sounds like something the huskies next door would do.

If it’s in the Caribbean like another commenter mentioned, it may not be USD. XCD to USD is $2.70 to $1.

She was 16 or 17, so you’re not far off.
- Comment on Ironing 4 months ago:
I leave the whole thing set up in the guest room so I don’t have to mess with it, and I’m a woman, so most of my dressier tops are less complicated than a men’s button-down. I plug it in, wash my face, and it’s ready to go, and it really is only about 2 minutes to actually iron. Maybe twice that if it’s a particularly finicky fabric (which I’m slowly eliminating from my wardrobe).
