I like to think I'd be a perfectly reasonable person even if I was fabulously rich, but no, I'd probably get bored and make the flight crew play gin rummy with me.

Maybe one person wears black gloves and puts the silverware down while someone else wears white gloves and does the plates and glasses?

I think the fact that he only addressed the physical appearances of women is telling. It seems unlikely that the female attendees are actually significantly less attractive than their male colleagues, but he apparently pays more attention to or has higher standards for female appearances.

Agreed. It's necessary and it's not hurting them, but that doesn't make it cute. Happy kittens are cute. Sleepy kittens are cute. Frightened kittens at the vet's office just look sad.

They even have a pajama version of skinny jeans. I don't know what to make of that.

But if women want to protect their privacy and avoid being on something like creepshots, their only option is to never, ever leave the house. If this dude didn't want to risk becoming famous for being an asshole on the internet, he could have simply chosen not to be asshole on the internet. Or at least covered his…

Same. Now I really want to go to the Super 88 for lunch...

I don't know if the mother's response was optimal, I just don't think she deserves to be jumped on for it. She took the issue seriously and tried to protect her daughter. If she'd kept her daughter in the school while trying to address the bullying there, people would be blaming her for not moving Amanda.

I think it's an interesting question. I eat meat, even though I could be healthy as a vegetarian. Is eating meat because I enjoy the taste really that much better than killing insects for art? At least in my life, the functional benefits of meat are few- it's certainly not the cheapest, healthiest, or most convenient…

I don't think dogs experience guilt over stuff like stealing food. They may realize that they'll get in trouble for it, but anticipating a scolding is not the same as experiencing guilt.

Did you even bother to read the linked article before jumping right to blaming the mother of a dead child?

I think it comes down to compatibility (in the sense of lifestyles, personalities, goals, etc) vs chemistry. A happy relationship needs both, but in my experience compatibility will often lead to chemistry later on, while the opposite is rarely true.

Any bets on how long it'll be before we get news reports that don't realize it's a joke?

That kind of behavior is awful, but I don't think there's a good legal remedy. A ban on photographing body parts that are visible to passerby would probably be unconstitutional. Upskirt photos are only illegal because there is an expectation of privacy underneath one's clothes. It's not really a gender thing- most…

Is it really a controlled substance in the US? It's used in all kinds of industrial/commercial applications, including restaurants. No one will sell it to you without a proper container and a don't-sue-me-waiver, but I don't think it's that tightly regulated. For that matter, you can walk into a hardware store and buy…

They probably poured a small amount into the drink to make it 'smoke'- think of a dry ice fog machine. As long as the lN2 boiled off (ie stopped smoking) before it was drunk, that should be fine. It boils off pretty damn fast. If that's the case, the bartender either gave it to her too soon, or didn't warn her to wait…

I'm probably going to get yelled at for this, but if you're not one of the people who gets headaches from aspartame, then it's fine.

No bet. American girl dolls were expensive when I wanted one 15 years ago, and they're expensive now. The company seems to have done a good job of keeping their product out of both the collector's and second-hand markets.

Some people just hate the sound of it, but for others it's a context thing. I guess that I'd be fine with the word in any situation where I'd be fine with swearing- ie with friends or romantic partners. But if I'm with coworkers or relatives or people much older or younger than myself, I'd stick with 'underwear', or…

I'm not sure I follow you. I agree that the public will take it very poorly if female soldiers are killed, but I don't think that's an argument against letting women in combat.
