Thank you for the reminder I should binge some QI again.

Today I read the news.

...mentally and emotionally hurting counts too, right?

Some people in the comments are missing the point. You didn't want something. You told your parents you and your partner didn't want it. You were given and pressured into it regardless.

Do not feel awful for not appreciating it. It doesn't matter why you don't. Your parents have ignored you completely. Not just you on the cruise, but your wishes in the first place. It doesn't matter how nice Cozumel is. If you are stressed out from the cruise experience to start with, you won't be in the mind space to enjoy something else you might have if you were visiting it normally.

OP, this is not your fault. You have every right to feel angry. You were left out in many ways and guilted into feeling bad about yourself for not enjoying something you upfront said you didn't want.

I hope this gives you the ability to stand your ground in the future. Sure, it can be nice to experience new things and find out you like something you never thought you would. But that's up to you to decide. Whether its about a cruise or something else, only you and your partner should make that decision for yourselves. I hope you call your parents out on this, but if you don't, I hope you can always say "no" without buckling in the future.

When you are on your own schedule, yes. Otherwise you have to deal with the schedules of businesses and people who aren’t available at night. My doctor won’t see me at midnight, after all.

For real. The headline could have said "The U.S. is unprepared" and covered the same concepts.

Sorry, Onion, some of these literally have Christmas in their titles. That's a stretch, even for you. XD

I’m not surprised. I forget when I looked up the research, but several hair typed definitely don’t need shampoo as much as people think they do. That we have another product (conditioner) yo undo the damage shampoo does to out hair is astounding.

As for the overall bathing thing, I agree. It depends on what you do day to day, your environment, and genetics. With all three of those factors, some people need to bath more often than others need to.

Most of my washing routine is actually for chronic pain. I don’t need to scrub for smell too much, but hot water feels good on pained areas.

I thought this was an Onion article for a moment.

I feel sorry for her future coworkers, but at the same time? I like when people have to live the perspective of the people they treat badly. I hope this teaches her a lesson.

It’s Chipotle.

As uncertain as I am about the technology, people already steal voices from voice actors, singers, and celebrities. At this point I’m just glad these artists gave their permission.

Unfortunately it's only painful for the rest of us.

Lemons were only good for lemonade when I was a child. Now they make the best cakes and cookies too.
