While I'd argue that in general driving high is a bad idea, different people are affected different ways when they're potted up. Some people are super functional and can easily get through their daily lives while high and others (like me) can only sit on a couch and giggle helplessly at dumb shit on TV. I treat it…

Speaking of Patrick Swayze (we were, right?) I just saw To Wong Fu for the first time, and now I suddenly think he's the awesomest, coolest person ever! Patrick Swayze, I hardly knew ye!

My cousin killed herself last month- she was 14. I mention this because like so many other cases you see in the news these days, there were some bullying allegations. I don't believe she killed herself because she was bullied, but because she suffered from severe depression, just basic chemical imbalances in the brain…

That kissy sound is so fucking disgusting! How do they get it to be so loud? Yes, I see you have a mouth like a Hoover, am I supposed to be impressed?

PREACH! I lived in Lima for about 6 months and for the first time in my life random men, young to very old, approached me on the street. Some to catcall, some to hit on me, ask where I was from, tell me I'm pretty, wish me a good morning or say hello baby (ugh), or my favorite, "Girl I want fuck you".

Why thank you, you just made my day! Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go sit down and pen a very furious thesis on the depictions of race and class in modern sci-fi/fantasy.

Pocahontas' "Savages, savages" song pretty much tops the list of most racist Disney songs ever. I think it MAYBE was meant to illustrate the problematic views of the white explorers, but what 6 year old is going to understand that? I had to restrain myself from stopping the DVD right there and giving my 4 y.o. cousins…

Agreed. But while there is racial diversity in GOT universe, they aren't really represented in the group of main characters- although if memory serves in one of the later books where people are in Dorne I think the Sand Snake sisters and their guards or whatevs might be POC's, and they get some main chapters.

No, Madonna, we are NOT fucking amused. Maybe next you should re-enact an assassination attempt when you're in Arizona or a hijacking when you're in New York. Gosh I wish you could've swung by after Columbine to show us just how edgy and rebellious you are*. Now please stop desperately clinging to cultural relevancy…

Can we have a moment of silence for Amanda Bynes? Because we all like to make some fun, myself included, but truthfully I really, really loved her as a kid. She was the first person to make me think that girls could be hilarious too. Yes, she's the latest child star to go the way of Lindsay Lohan, but she was sooo…

Potentially stupid question: What exactly do Abstinence Only sex ed classes teach? Do they literally only say "Don't have sex until marriage" and then put their fingers in their ears and yell "LALALALA" if you ask about condoms? Do they teach any other contraception measures or about various STDs?

Whuuuut? I always thought A. A. Milne was a woman! I guess its true what they say about assuming things, it makes you an asshole.

Hahaha thanks for that, I'm still laughing about that cat :D

Plus the show always shoots her from the ...right? left? Whichever the opposite side of her face is. I read her interview in Vanity Fair and it sounded like she's pretty self-conscious about it. Sads, because I love her so and she's amazing and hilarious and beautiful.

I'm in Denver, and please, for the love of god, no more political ads! It's to the point that an entire 5 minute commercial break is back to back pro-Romney/pro-Obama ads. I do agree it's important that voters are informed of just how awful Romney is, but is there any evidence that ads really do anything? I highly…

Woah woah woah. It's entirely possible to love both Harry Potter and the A Song of Ice and Fire series, I certainly do. However, HP is aimed at kids- especially the first 3. There will be no beheadings, twin-cest, or whore houses. There will be, however, murder, intrigue, general villainy, epic adventures, BFF's, late…

My friend is part German, part Chinese, though it's not really immediately apparent. She's very proud of it, and gave me an unprompted genealogical history about 20 minutes after we met during study abroad in Peru- but over the semester she got more and more infuriated with strangers asking her "what" she was. I can't…
