Thanks for posting! That linked article is a wild read and paints this person as a real sociopath, regardless of gender, who actually shouldn’t be around other people. Good thing she has it literally tattooed across her face, in case she gets out and people aren’t sure. That’s very helpful. And seriously, how is…

totally. That kid is all over the damn place with her pitch on this one. I happen to be obsessed with this song, and I even think the Voice is kind of cute, but I couldn’t make it through it.

How this interview could go through a discussion unironically about what people are “disposable” in our society when this person’s crime (at least the portion they admit to) was literally throwing a person away. And to be still sticking to NO SNITCHING!

I’m a hobbit too (different origins). I let some kids give me a makeover once (I was a camp counselor) and they insisted on shaving my toe knuckles. I usually just let em grow as they will though.

other totally crazy idea... someone could sign up for a mailing list of something they don’t actually support or agree with for legitimate reasons (education, subversion), like to figure out what they actually think and say and act like instead of just educated guessing.

The argument makes sense only here in the USA actually. The point is not sour grapes about breeders, the point is to use this as a jumping off point so argue that if you can defend preserving someone’s position and status at work for the purpose of procreation, why can’t there be more allowances for other kinds of…

Earlier today I was just thinking of posing this topic on Facebook, “a defensive of offensive Halloween costumes?.” I think context is a big part of it. When a photo goes viral for outrage or mockery, we often don’t have the original context. Guy probably is a douche, but if you were going to a party with a “modern…

Women too. You want to not go out alone, not get yourself alone with a strange dude, not walk certain places, not get into conflicts with strangers, not trust the drink in front of you. Because some guy, probably not a cop - but maybe one them too if you were doing crimes at the time - might beat, rape or kill you.…

I feel like the current climate is analagous to asking someone who is not your religion to not just respect your religion but also to actually believe in it. I was raised in a pretty progressive way regarding gender - as a separate concept from biological sex. Having a vagina didn’t mean I had to look or dress or act…

Funny how the same words can mean different things to different people! Thanks for responding. I’m going to go out and exercise now, trying to stay acceptably shaped.

Not even just porn... I feel like the ubiquitousness of a very narrow definition of what is supposed to be sexy sexuality in culture overall (from the sexy 23 yr old traffic girl on my local news on up) has me turned off to sexuality in general. The casualness, the insistence that a portrayal of femininity that looks…

Howard the Duck. Because I was five or six and my friend’s mom who took us made us leave. I think she thought it was bad and also not appropriate for kids. I think she was right? I’ve never taken the trouble to sit through it since. I walked out of watching the uncut Anchorman sequel (on Netflix - so walking out was…

I feel like we always knew this about Jewel anyway? Her “friendship” with her famous friend Sean Penn? It’s exactly how I had always assumed.

I didn’t even see this movie but I feel like I did thanks to Jezebel and I want to participate in this conversation... I’m thinking that if you worked in a real dinosaur park (extrapolating from my real life experiences with camps and parks and barns), there would probably be a shoes code, and no one who had any…

I’m into using male and female myself, since my bodily experience of the female reproductive system and its drama and disorders has a pretty profound impact on my life and self-concept. As to the topic at hand... it sounds to me like there should be one set of standards by which people are measured regardless of…

But, like, what does it even mean to be romantic over someone who looks like porno Bambi? I went out with someone waaay hotter than me once or twice, and my brother married this one Brazilian stripper for a while. It really is confusing.

That’s what I’m running in lately. I’ve tried a few different Brooks my last few running purchases. I first got some Cascadia trail running shoes from them first, but they don’t make that exact style any more, and the last trail runners from Brooks I looked at were way too heavy and butt ugly too. I can’t particularly…

Loving those shoes. They look very practical.

(barely) related: I saw a really douchey looking Porsche casually back into a pedestrian this morning at the really douchey local brunch spot (I was doing laundry nearby, not eating the Elvis candy bacon asshole fritter special). Low speed, strapping, resilient young male victim - no injuries.

Some random memories of my brief time working at Houlihan’s: We were a bad, dysfunctional restaurant. There was tremendous hostility and aggression between factions of employees (bartenders vs kitchen vs servers). Our kitchen was inept at timing or communcating 86s to the serving staff, resulting in a lot of unhappy…
