I was really hoping that this article was about a sincere attempt at photography by Katy Perry and it was a really bad 365 series or something.

I would argue that it's still being used as an adjective in the example you gave below.

"Our compensation analyses of [insert company here] demonstrated unexplained differences in compensation between male and female employees. Females, on average, made 3% less than males in similar positions, even when controlling for…

It doesn't seem as odd to me because "female" is actually being used as a proper adjective when placed before "employees" or another noun. You're describing an employee who's female (or male), which is correct. You're not displacing a human for a scientific descriptor. I think it also probably makes sense legally to…

Oh wow! Sounds like your issues might be worse than mine, food hasn't ever given my trouble (that I remember) and I've managed to get away with lip liner for an hour or two but even if I wash it off a reaction will still occur a day or two later (I think it only "works" 'cause I put on such a thin layer anyway).

I'm…

What can I wear on my lips if I seem to be allergic to everything? I've tried hypo-allergenic lipstick, lipgloss made of hemp, those EOS ball things that are gluten-free, all of it. And without fail they all cause my lips to swell a little, get all red around the mouth and then that clear watery stuff leaks out and it…

I gotta be honest, the Starbucks drinks that sound complicated aren't usually that complicated to make. I mean, practice and experience as a barista aside, the long list of ingredients doesn't usually add up to much in practice. A venti skinny cinnamon dolce latte is only a venti sized cup, "skinny" means nonfat milk…

OR you can have drip coffee with steamed milk which is a cafe au lait. The difference being italian and french traditions: cafe latte is obviously italian and the italian method for brewing coffee is espresso (espresso is, technically, coffee), and cafe au lait is french and the french method for brewing coffee is…

They're probably the types that say "I'm just too big for a condom so I can't wear one." and expect all the responsibility to be with the woman.

That's kind of a dick move by the nurse. "Your neighbours were dicks about my parking space! I quit!" Don't take a shitty neighbourhood parking experience out on a sick kid and her parents. At the same time, those neighbours were asses.

Actually, there's an episode of Voyager (I've been marathoning over the holidays), where the ship is stuck in a Borg tractor beam with another, smaller ship trapped in the beam in front of them. They teleport the people off the small ship and onto Voyager and teleport a photon torpedo onto the small ship, setting it…

Why do Americans insist on driving EVERYWHERE? The Walmart was literally beside the school. You can handle a group of 12 year olds on a ten minute (max, if the parking lots were very big) walk. The driving everywhere mentality is insane, just fucking walk.

Wow, that's awful, I'm glad you're out. It seems that first relationships tend to go on a lot longer than they should 'cause you're just used to being with somebody - it was like that with my first boyfriend. He was an alcoholic and I pitied him, so I stayed with him for a year even though I didn't love him because I…

Feel free, I need something to read tonight anyway. :P And honestly, it's cathartic. I can't express all this to my friends that like him but I can to somebody on the internet. It helps.

It was only because he wanted out of our relationship - everything had been great until we talked about moving in together and then he freaked the fuck out - and he was a coward. He didn't want to straight up dump me 'cause he knew then he would no longer be the "nice guy" that everybody thinks he is, so he lashed out…

He would literally DRAG me towards the stairs when I was headed for the escalator as we exited the subway or whatever, and then when I pulled away and took the escalator in defiance he'd glare are me as he kept pace with me walking up the stairs himself. That was just fucking cruel, and he did it a bunch of times. Our…

For real, my last boyfriend ate nothing but sugary cereal for every meal but remained naturally trim and then gave me dirty looks when I took the escalator instead of the stairs. I tried telling him about my history of eating disorders once to try and get him to understand where I'm at and why I feel and act the way I…

I'm pretty sure the top image is just one they googled, not necessarily the actual ring beforehand. If you'll notice, the pokey things are different shapes in each photo too.

The first letters spelled out "LAMB", which was her clothing label, and she said at some point the words all had special meaning to her, or something. "Music" makes more sense in that case.

Hahahahahahahaha *tears*

Yeah seriously, now I'm really screwed if I go into my 30s single. There's gonna be nothing left.
