     Sir, this is a Wendy's. (Full disclosure: this isn't a Wendy's. This is a sex-advice column, JACKS, and sex-advice columnists are not matchmakers. So you'll have to find and/or hire a phone-sex provider on your own.)

   • 2022 May 2, Jenny Singer, “Women Are Calling Themselves ‘Old and Ugly’ on Twitter—And It’s Actually Super Heartwarming”, in Glamour:

     “You must be in so much pain to keep posting bikini pictures at your age,” a follower commented on longtime supermodel Paulina Porizkova’s Instagram this week. “I pray you can come to terms with your mortality.”
     This comment has big “Sir, this is a Wendy’s” energy, or at least, “Sir, if seeing a woman’s exposed flesh compels you to bring up her death, the internet might not be the healthiest place for you right now” vibes. But Porizkova, who is 57 and known for having a good sense of humor, responded with another bikini pic, adding, “As you can see, I’m suffering indeed.”
