That is fucking terrifying and I don't mean to diminish that threat, but I would laugh at a threat of a flat tire. Oooo, flat tire, big whoop.

I'm from Brazil, we're expected to kiss everyone on the cheek here. And hug everyone. I hate it so much. Like you, I'm cool hugging and kissing someone I've known for a while, but being introduced to someone and expected to touch them just feels wrong.

Seriously, this is not new news in the field of sexual violence prevention. We teach that bodies belong to individuals and Grandma should ask for a kiss/hug and if it's turned down, cool. It's a culture of consent.

Ever noticed how the more obsessed we get with low fat and "lite", the more obesity becomes a problem?

I tentatively respect your position. Thank you for making the distinction between your personal beliefs and legislation.

For real, these are some of the best defenses of civil behavior towards rude people I've ever read. I will be stealing them for Tumblr.

Low fat dairy is garbage food with more fillers than dairy in it, though I did just meet someone who swears by the DASH diet.

Ugh, are people still believing in the low-fat mumbo jumbo? Is this 1992?

Yup! I hope I never HAVE to make that choice, but if I do, I don't want anyone else having any input that overrides what my husband and I believe is best for our family.

Is the fashion industry some kind of inside joke that I'm not in on? Because I just don't understand its existence at all.

Can I get this tatooed on my forehead?

So thrilled about my husband's overly sensitive nose on this score. He uses Old Spice deodorant (and it makes me weak in the knees with his body chemistry), but otherwise he's au naturel.

I also feel like it cannot be emphasized enough that Harris-Perry is not even the one who made that remark!

I saw this on the FB and the poster made the point that it's also the name of the brand. As someone who has suffered from depression for-fucking-ever, I find this more stupid than offensive, but...whatever.

Not only was Beck reasonable, but that statement was also really nicely worded and thought-out. Color-me-shocked.

1. You are not using "passive aggressive" correctly.

Isn't this using a black woman as a prop, literally? Kinda like when you put whatever you want to show next to a Coke can so people can know how big it is?

Look, I know that we're all supposed to hate Kimmy for being an annoying attention whore, but she manages to keep herself in the news cycle 24/7, and has done so for several years, with our consent. If you want to be mad at somebody, be mad at the media—and the rest of America, for that matter—for keeping her antics…

Oh lord, I had someone like that for dinner. But that guest was actually allergic. So I was very careful to make a gluten and dairy free dinner and have several dessert choices (there were kids present) and make sure one choice is okay for said guest. Said guest goes ahead and samples all desserts because they 'look…

Ugh god. Sorority's mom weekend dinner that we catered at the hotel I used to work at was so much this. "Oh my mom can't eat dairy" because she didn't want the ravioli but somehow cheesecake was a-okay? Right....
