One of the great things about butter is that even the cheapest brands have two ingredients: cream and salt. No crazy chemicals! When I noticed this I was very surprised.

If it makes you feel better I debated how to phrase that. The list includes one ethnic group, one religion, and one ethnic group/religion depending on how you look at it. Obviously people being more than one of those things is possible. I mean, my entire first post was talking about how Christian Israeli Arabs and…
You can't start the history of the modern state of Israel in 1948. For quite a while up until the later 19th century, almost no one lived there - a few Jews, a few Arabs, a few Christians. Then the Zionist movement started, and a whole bunch of Jews started moving there. Britain wasn't really sure what it wanted to do…
Um, no? When the media says 'Arab Israeli Christians' they mean exactly that - citizens of Israel who are both Christian and Arab. There are also a number of Israeli Arab Muslims too, and both groups have all the same rights and privileges as Jewish Israelis. The Palestinians, most of whom are Muslim (though some are…
I do not understand this. All but a couple letters are just the print letter with a line connecting them to the next letter. How could anyone not be able to read cursive? Even if you don't know one or two letters in a word your should still be able to guess! I think you should tell them tough nuts, they're old enough…
Oh, I didn't realize you were in the UK. Yeah, it's for US visas. It might be worth checking if it's a thing the UK too, though, just in case. Countries seem to have parallel laws like that in some cases.
I seem to remember something about there being specific protections with regards to visas for women who experience sexual harassment. So reporting it might help!
That really happened? Someone posted on my facebook wall about how awful green apple skittles are and I was thinking, "I don't remember there being green apple skittles!" Ugh. Green apple is IMO one of the worst flavors ever. And lime is so delicious! I'm gonna go be sad now, because I love skittles.
This is me too! The only kind of 'dolling up' I learned from my mom was how to do stage makeup and make costumes. And build stuff, because that's important to know too. And we all had terrible sweet tooths (sweet teeth?) and just ate normal "a protein-a carbohydrate-a vegetable" meals growing up. I've finally gotten…
Hyphenated names, while an ideal solution in theory, just get more and more complicated in execution when you factor in kids, and kids getting married. What we need is more portmanteau names! People should come up with a portmanteau name they like, and then the kids get that name and both spouses change theirs. No…
The interesting thing about this is that I was considering posting that exact article when I wrote my comment, as an example of someone expressing this whole thing better than I could. I'm curious, what about what she says makes her seem more paranoid than I do? Admittedly, I am less paranoid than her IRL, but that's…
She is ADORABLE.
In most cases, you are technically correct, it's not illegal to ask those questions. But doing so can be used as substantial evidence of discrimination in a lawsuit, so it amounts to nearly the same thing.
The thing you need to keep in mind is that women don't often talk about that sort of thing with men, because (we find) it will be dismissed or blamed on us if we do most of the time. A common thread in the comments on this article is that men are complaining that women always assume that those men are dangerous to…
I just wanted to say thank you to both you and Psyk for actually thinking about these things. It's a huge step in the right direction for everyone. I've had male friends ask me before about what they can do to be careful to not make women feel uncomfortable or threatened, and usually the answer is "The fact that you…
I'm impressed with his breadth of nerdy knowledge. Freya hat and spear FTW!
Yeah, he has a fan base. Pretty much every famous criminal does. If you're handsome/young it's often populated by teenage girls, like the Boston bomber kid. People are weird and rather demented sometimes.
I'm totally eating with my dish resting on my sternum as I read this. Well, until I started typing, of course. I like being a sassy Jezebel writer!
You know how his desk is on a raised platform? When he's greeting guests as they come on, especially tall ones, he often shakes hand with them while he's on the platform but they aren't. That's probably why you though he was taller. :)
77% is the most used number. 6% of that is due to working fewer hours, 4% is due to smaller bonuses, 4% from male dominated occupations pay more than female ones do, though women in male dominated fields are also paid less than men in those field. So, the unexplained (i.e. mostly likely based on obvious…
