The status is NOT quo.

Oh, cupcakes. I love you so.

I tried out Yummy Cupcakes in Burbank last month and was very impressed. Their banana cream pie cupcake was to die for.

Oh, Stephen Colbert, you are adorable. Like a giddy child talking with the astronaut, who is charming. It's awesome.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Hooray! My wireless is now working!

Yummy is my fave of the cupcake places I've tried, though their service sucks. (My Little Cupcake is meh. Leda's is good but overpriced). I hear there is a place in Silverlake, but I've never been.

Yay wireless, Allyson! Are you actually going to the vintage dress thing?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

He looks so much like you, Kat.

Are there any good cupcake places down Santa Monica way? I know there are Beverly Hills places, but I never end up that direction.

Of course I should probably wait the week and a half before asking that. I'm sure the doctor won't keep me off wheat much longer.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I can see how (for people who love kids), having them would increase general stress and frustration and lower one's general day-to-day happiness while still providing a profound sense of fulfillment and more intense peaks of joy. The author seems to be overlooking the fact that love of various kinds is actually quite effective at making people miserable a substantial portion of the time. But I think most everyone finds the pros worth the cons.
