Great. So because google results strip the term of any actual spiritual meaning, that's a sign of it's okay-ness? And not the continued erasure of native culture? Nice. Also, if rubbing my sensitivities is wrong, I don't want to be right.

Ahahaha. Aren't you glad these helpful posters are pointing out that "online", spirit animal has an aspirational meaning? Who cares what it means in the material world? Who cares where it came from, or how people who actually believe in spirit animals would react to comments like these? The internet is a special place…

I have to point out that this little girl isn't just messing around. Several times in the video she bases her moves around the choreographed ones. She seems to know the routine well enough to be bored of it. Yes, her parents should take the opportunity to teach her about being part of a group. But honestly, this kind…

Binders full of studies!

Thank you for that information. I will now enjoy the rest of my day, because I'll be fantasizing about loading him and Caitlin Moran into a rocket and launching it into space forever. The ship will be called the Thanks But No Thanks.

What's the dude version of a betch who's totes jelly?

Oh, goody, an expert's here to tell us how Islam "seems"!

I knew I wasn't putting this right. Even with that being the case, it seems like being part of a (even remotely) celebrity family would give you connections other comediennes wouldn't have, so that adds to her benefits over.

Also, being Minnie Ripperton's daughter in no way explains the ease of her success relative to the other four WOC who've been on the show!

How many replies pointing out this fucked-up assumption have you dismissed? Or was mine the only one?
Either way, you are very weirdly attached to your really shitty idea.

How is any of that logical? Good looking people can't be professional-level talented at things....because.....being good looking is a full time occupation until you're a grown-up?
If you're having this hard of a time that this young woman got this job on merit, you should examine your own sexism.

I saw it as not necessarily tied to the pregnancy or wedding, but maybe something over the 10 year period of their friendship. The "loving and supportive friend" thing makes it sound like covering for an isolated cheating incident, to me.

Just as a bit of context, she is clearly working in the Taiwanese offices (those light switches!) of NMA. And if you've experienced working in Taiwan or for Taiwanese employers, you know how much of your time you are expected to give up without complaint. If you are sick, you are expected to go to one of the many…

I don't mean the business should be punished for isolated incidents. If I complain about a bartender overserving, and the manager tells that person to pay more attention, then mission accomplished. The important thing is like you say, doing something when you see something. I've been talking about this with my friends…

Those are all good suggestions. I know not everyone goes to bartending school, it just should be part of the program for sure. And I am all about holding establishments accountable for the shit that goes on. My parents owned a bar for 20 years, and they appreciated any and all complaints from customers about the…

Should be included in bartending school, too. You'd have to be extremely unobservant not to realize the same customer keeps coming up for multiple drinks.

Every woman knows that drinking to excess is a risk factor for sexual assault. Seriously. Every single one. If we want to look at the problem of blackout drunkeness, attention would be better spent on servers and bouncers.

I'd be fine with him calling it season five, even. Just a total do over. Except for Bubb's story arc. That could just be reproduced. Anyway, pardon this Deerailment.

Sorry not to be relevant, but your username is awesome.

You are too stuck on the abstract that personal responsibility is always good, and dismissing the concept is always wrong. But the entire concept of victimization is the absence of responsibility—that a thing was done TO you. Of course, logically, there was a chain of cause and effect, some of it determined by the…
