This is the only hairstyle I know! I invented this when I was 11. I made a lot of innovations with braids that, though hinted at by the Star Wars trilogy, had previously been unexplored by the majority of humanity. I still do it sometimes for performances (I'm 34 - yikes! Since when?).

What are the two diametrically opposed ways this could go? I followed the jump and there was nothing.

Since you're being intellectually honest, we'll be intellectually patient. The employer is not paying for any healthcare services. The employer is partially paying for an insurance plan. The Obamacarez laid out some standards as to what an acceptable comprehensive plan covers, and that includes lots of kinds of…

OMG, don't waste interns time with coffee. That's internist and lame mentoring. Get your coffee on the clock.

He was sooooo good in that! So many good characters and actors! So many poor plot twists! Poor plot twists forgiven on account of the good characters and their performances.

Oh, it kind of made me smile and remember the good old days. The wit! The snark! The "famous people" no one has heard of! In the days BP (before problematic).

Well, I also think that Taylor Swift is crap. But she doesn't strike me as "modest" either. Though she has gone for a less vulgar image, I would say her outstanding feature, or one of them, would be vanity. Which is really the common theme among most of the young female targeted pop culture, with the rationalization…

Actually, Miley is so young that she "grew up on" Britney and Christina and others whose careers would have taught her at a very young age that her value, status and goodness are depending on being sexually precocious and provocative, and so it comes across as a. just a boring, calculated copycat act, b. inauthentic…

Wow, a quick perusal of the comments tell me that many women find "full butt" underwear even more offensive than I find thongs, due to wedging. THE SECRET is men's underwear. Men's briefs cover you up, don't pinch you in, and don't go up your butt. YOU'RE WELCOME.

Thanks! I know I sounded really serious, I'm not even that mad if people want to make shallow music. But if you want to seriously critique something that is pretty trash to begin with, then be ready seriously critique the whole deal, right?

Somebody should have told these assholes to JUST ADOPT. (where's that old post about how horrible it is to tell people to just adopt?!)

you don't understand how a person can refuse to undergo an abortion on their own body?

I thought that was gross too. The whole thing is an entirely unironic ode to the culture of superficiality. Singling out the black cultural appropriation aspects as the thing without which the video would have been inoffensive avoids critique of the fact that this is our popular culture's message, and is pretty much…

I know, I know, this is a thread about cultural appropriation and not sexually regressive bullshit. But is there a level of subversion or irony that I am failing to see in this video of a pretty lady singing about being pretty, and how it's great and being pretty makes people totes horny & jelly?

Offensive! (make it a survey post!)

Well, that sounds like some designer baby bullshit too.
Hope they still love it if it comes out average.

Of course this isn't a story about adoption. It is about conceiving new babies who will potentially be dealing identity issues due to not being the bio product of their fathers PLUS bonus "minority" experience that is not even shared or understood by the families they are in. I wouldn't try to stop adoptions across…

Like "exercise her right to make the medical decisions she deems best for herself and her family" (quoted from the linked article) isn't a completely bullshit concept. There may well be a problem with the overuse of C sections in general, but we can't simply apply that statistic or logic to one person and conclude…

Haha, you relax. I was just trolling the person above me. And tomorrow's Monday, so I don't think so.

Well, it's not really an issue that anyone was raising in these comments except for the person above me, but if you had to push me on the issue, I'd say 'no limits' rather than arbitrary, ever-constricting limits. I was just being extreme in response to a totally unrelated topic coming into the story being discussed.…
