Here is a glorious picture of Page:

the face karen makes

I have never related to a cat this much before.

I can relate… please don’t touch or annoy me or call me “fat” or ask if I’m pregnant at work. Respect.

[–] ickplant@lemmy.world 20 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Girl.... I once had a subordinate at work ask me if I was expecting. I was bloated and standing with my stomach out kind of holding my hand on my hip. She felt terrible when I said "nope, just fat..." I never held it against her in any way, but didn't feel good for sure.

Why anyone asks anyone this for any reason I cannot fathom.

[–] ickplant@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Don’t ask until you can see the baby crowning… even then wait until the birth announcement for good measure.

[–] Bunnylux@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Is that a baby coming out...? You know what, nevermind...

[–] olosta@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

The awkward exception to this is asking if a person wants your seat on a bus or subway.

Got it, chonker it is

[–] nexguy@lemmy.world 14 points 10 months ago

Sounds like the store to visit if you want a quick judgement in your favor. Also...cat is wonderful.

[–] Psyduck_world@lemmy.world 13 points 10 months ago (2 children)

My cat also act annoyed or sometimes visibly upset when I call him fat. I doubt that he understands what is fat or being called fat is a bad thing. Wonder why he is so sensitive about being called fat.

Tone of your voice

[–] ickplant@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

Maybe they understand more than we know. I'm giving my dog an extra treat tonight just in case. I call her "Miss Chonky Thighs."

This store seems frightening

[–] ickplant@lemmy.world 21 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It is a very aggressive sign.... I wonder if Page made it herself.

[–] ikiru@lemmy.ml 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Where is this bookstore?

[–] ickplant@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

As far as I can tell, in Charlotte, NC at the corner of The Plaza and Central Avenue. This is their site.

Proof (they're called "BookBuyersCLT" on Twitter):

Seems reasonable
