@LessThanZero: I went to UCLA (Berkeley's sister school) and we used grad students to run discussion sections. Does that really not happen at other universities? I thought it was common for discussion section-type classes to be run by the TA.
I just got engaged, and people keep telling me "Oh, you have to live together before you get married!" Anyone have any thoughts on whether living together is a prereq for marriage?
"Have fun eating fiber and watching The Mentalist!" has probably been Community's best adulthood burn thus far.
@KungFuCandy is the Johnny Appleseed of sexiness: I miss it so much. I actually got caught up on work yesterday. Work. On a weekend. And today I've been super productive. If it doesn't come back soon my boss is going to start having expectations or something.

@Federov: I totally see where you're coming from, but WW is giving people more"points" allowance every day, so the new points values of processed foods still works out.
Processed food is worth more points, but you also get more points every day, and more "bonus points" for the whole week. I was at 20 points, now I'm at 29; I had 35 extra points every week but now it's 49.
It seems like they're "punishing" you for eating processed foods, but they aren't: they're just using a new way of calculating points that includes protein, fiber, carbs and fat. And they're making fruits and non-starchy veggies zero points to encourage you to eat them more often.
In response to the "I feel like I'm being FORCED to diet" person: yeah... you joined weight watchers. That is a diet. No one is forcing you to go. And if you really hate it, you can stick with the old program.

Holy shit. I can't believe they loaned her this much money. There should be a cap on how much you can take out in loans based on the degree level (bachelor's, master's, Ph.D.) and what field it's in. $200k for a BA in sociology? $1600 a month for 20 years? I would just leave the country and change my identity.
My dog is trained for when Mama gets it on. As soon as I take my shirt off, she scurries under the bed. She also does that whenever I take my vibrator out. If my boyfriend and I take too long, she goes into my bathroom and defiantly hate-pees on my rug.
@Cheesencrackers: Seconded! I'm a totally profesh lady by day, and I listen to Gaga remixes (everyone shut up) when I smoke.
@Brian Moylan: Oooh, I can't believe I didn't mention one-hitters. I appreciate your response!!!
This is not nearly extensive enough. What if you have one of those cool pipes that looks like a dragon or a pig or a SuperMario mushroom? What about six-inch-tall bongs versus yard-long ones that sit on the floor? Smoking from fruits/ veggies/ homemade bongs and pipes? What if you prefer weed lollipops to pot brownies?
I demand further analysis!!!

This is not your first day of putting a fuckton of things on the internet. Girl we have SEEN YOU on Tumblr!
Does anyone have a .gif of Tim Gunn clapping his hands and yelling at Team Luxe? I would use it all the time, everywhere, in every circumstance.
There's no way to be absolutely sure you won't end up with a psycho, whether you pick them from a website or they're assigned randomly.
The girls I was randomly rooming with freshmen year got along just fine. We were respectful and aired grievances before they became major issues.
When I was living with friends, though, there's all kinds of passive-aggressive bullshit. At least with strangers it's less awkward to say, "OK, this living arrangement isn't working, I'm going to the housing office and requesting a new room."

I met my boyfriend two and a half years ago on OKCupid. I went on several dates with normal men before that. There are definitely some creepers there, though - I recommend keeping the "chat" function permanently off.
It's also good for late-night lulz.

I went to a talk on blow jobs led by Madison Young, a porn star. She recommended keeping toys clean by putting condoms over them. If you have some lying around - PP always gives me a ton when I get my hormonal BC - use them and you never have to worry about cleanup.
I think my initiation into adulthood was buying my first car at the age of 22 (just graduated from college, starting first job, etc etc). One week - ONE! - after I got it, someone backed into me and I had to deal with all the annoying insurance stuff, taking it to the shop, getting rides to work... it sucked. Between oil changes and gas prices and insurance and "what the fuck is that squeaking noise oh god it's breaking down", I maintain that owning a car is one of the worst yet unavoidable parts of adulthood.
I subscribed to all of these sites for work. So far I've resisted temptation and only bought two pairs of Havaianas flipflops ($23! for two pairs!). But yeah, the "countdown" thing is very insidious, and not only on sites like this - there's also the multitude of "deal a day" websites, where if you don't buy it RIGHT NOW you'll miss out on a super-cheap facial or whatever.
Wow. I guess I could see "miniskirts and halter tops are too revealing" coming, but stretching and wearing your purse across your chest? I can't believe how much they're trying to shame and police women. Ladies, I don't care how tired you are from serving the Lord, do NOT yawn and stretch - you are practically asking a man to envision you naked!
To an impressionable young woman, this survey could easily make you feel like EVERY MOVE YOU MAKE is sinful. No patterned tights, no pants with designs on the back pocket (don't all jeans have those nowadays??), no shirt with a pocket on it... what's left???

Once it's hotter than 85 degrees outside, there is no such thing as "too revealing." If you think you're distracted by a little leg or some cleavage, wait 'til you see me develop full-on flop sweat walking from work to my car.
Also, the opinion of anyone who refers to female employees as "your girls" is automatically discounted in every way, forever.
