To be fair, I’m kind of into spin classes, and I’m SUPER into gay clubs, so this sounds like something I would be 100% all for.

I demand that anyone who wants to make a case about how no-one cares about “real” problems in Zimbabwe first find Zimbabwe on an unlabeled map.

You are absolutely correct.

I’ll be saving these links for my own use when the season rolls around again. Maybe just print the articles to hang in my cubicle.

Important to note: there is no lion season.

“Divorced from” may be the wrong terminology. “Think it’s fundamentally silly” may be more on target. It’s not like it’s an idea I’ve never heard before, I just don’t think it’s true.

This is why people can’t take feminists, liberals, or other social-justice-oriented people: because as a group we can’t get our heads around how to make an analogy that isn’t hideously offensive.

Welcome to the way Americans view their taxes.

It’s a very short list of things that couldn’t be more bullshit if they tried.

Exactly. Teens have warped priorities and that makes them think things that don’t matter matter, which is why you can be popular because daddy drives a sports car or mommy lets you get a nose ring. The vast majority of people wise up by the time they’ve finished college, and the shit that got you major play in high…

Nothing like PETA’s involvement to get me to not give a shit about something I might otherwise be concerned about.

The joke being that those are the only MRA types that exist anywhere - that’s just what they ARE.

When I worked at the Smithsonian, they also offered an onsite free clinic for everyone who worked for that massive organization - something like 10,000 people. Every time I went, the room they’d given over to the clinic was nearly empty, and I can’t tell you how many times I heard people saying some version of the…

I don’t think I KNEW before this moment that he was dating Camilla before, during, and after being married to Diana. I guess if I’d thought about it I’d have said he may have met her during his marriage and cheated. The idea that that relationship completely encompassed his whole dating and marriage of another woman…

I agree. I have a boss who’s stated that he doesn’t care if he sees someone on Facebook in between tasks, and my coworkers and I have all seen each other reading Gawker/Facebook/online shopping from time to time, but the thought of someone being able to see the exact breakdown of my time budget every second of every…

If I could figure out a way to make it “professional” to shuffle around the office in thick slipper-socks, I would, but I can’t, and it’s my feet that get cold first, so the space heater is like, a necessity for life.

Are you not familiar with the basic office policy of “make it cold enough to kill everybody, the people who find it objectionable can unthaw themselves”?

This article needs to make a much bigger deal about the flu shot - every fucking flu season I have to listen to coworkers with no medical background talk about how they’re not getting the flu shot this year because “Last year I got it and I got sick anyway/Last year I didn’t get it and I didn’t get sick/I hear it’s…

Look, I’ve been in the situation where we’re all getting ready together to go out somewhere, and I realize that my outfit is somehow out of sync with the general tone everyone else has going on. Since it’s me, I usually find out I’m going way too formal, but I recognize that not everyone is a neurotic whose greatest…

She’s saying that the script SHE looked at had Elle written as a dim person - which may have been different from the script Reese Witherspoon saw, and was clearly different than the film’s shooting script. It’s not a comment on the film, but on what her thought process was when deciding whether to take the part.
