Perhaps I'm a Gamma as I have no fucks to give and the no fucks to give personality fits none of the above criteria:

Y'know, I don't pay much attention to celebrities or their personal lives, but it's damned near impossible not to let your heart go out to this girl. Whatever her career is, she's a human being who loved somebody and lost them, and fuck the circumstances, because however it happened that is universally one of the…

I'm normally fairly stoic, but there's something about losing one's significant other/fiance/husband that just destroys me.

30 pounds in 9 months?! Damn! That's what my sis mentioned, as well. While living in Germany and Italy she was eating richer, heavier foods, and more of it (and consuming copious amounts of beer and wine, her alcohol tolerance is now ridiculously high, haha!) but shedding the pounds. Her weight gain was also immediate…

I sent Mr. Fishnets out to the supermarket when I first moved into the neighborhood and told him to go buy bread. I told him to check to make sure the bread didn't have HFCS in it. His mind was blown when he was checking the bread and found out just how many brands use it.

I started a diet program that is basically: "eat eggs, lean meats, vegetables and fruits, some cheese. Do not have processed food or corn syrup."

I've been trying to eat more healthy. I cut out soda and sugary drinks entirely, just drinking water and tea. I look at the labels for EVERYTHING.

And to give context from Deadspin's piece "With just eight picks remaining in the 2014 draft, the St. Louis Rams selected SEC Defensive Player of the Year Michael Sam. It took nearly the whole damned draft for Sam to get selected—consider in the last six years no SEC Defensive Player of the Year had been selected…

That's what frustrates me about time-saving food: it is nothing you'd want in your body.

I mean, I'd agree if he was saying this about a person who either seems to have matured or seems to be a genuinely ok or decent person. Like if said similar stuff about Selina Gomez or something that would seem weird and over hte top, but I have literally never heard a nice thing said about this kid's behavior. So I'm…

Actually, if you're using AP style (newspapers, mostly, maybe blogs too), James' would be the possessive for the singular proper noun (James' pencil), because AP doesn't use the extra S on the end. I'm a copy editor, started in newspapers, now doing fiction (Chicago style, with the S on the end). For a little while I…

My dog isn't chipped. She's a small dog who goes nowhere without me, and when I first got her 13 years ago, micro-chipping wasn't as common so I never got it done. Some people chip, some don't. I have no problem with chipping, but there are plenty of people who have never done it, for whatever reason.

"Gentleman, the field has been narrowed."

Sorry, but I don't think the proper response to the problem of sexual violence against women is to retreat to cloistered women-only campuses. The issue needs to be confronted and changed so women can actively and safely engage with their community, not just sequester themselves in artificial "safe spaces."

Y'all. My grandmother is going to this wedding as her friend's plus one! The degrees of separation between me and my BFF Kate just got awesomely smaller!

i definitely do not want to "marry harry", despite the persuasive power of the rhyme. i just want to fuck him so hard that i ruin all other men / women / shapeshifting sex robots for him. that's all, really.

I never liked this line of reasoning because it assumes that incentive MUST mean an insane jump in compensation and that every vocation has the possibility to obtain such wealth. Incentives will still exist with less than 1000-fold returns over the average worker. Mechanics aren't doing a good job because they're…

The problem is that this point of view naively assumes a level playing field. As it stands, we do not have a level playing field. The idea that we should "focus on ourselves" is both spurious and exactly what the existing American oligarchy wants the lower classes to do, because then we aren't looking at how badly the…

Your reply is funny and pithy, but that actually is part of the problem. Disney has swallowed up so much of the surrounding area, and much of the rest of it has been developed by resorts, that there is no affordable housing that you can realistically commute from via public transportation. This is also a problem at…
