Master Bee: noun

Wait, 2 percent of men use POF for casual sex? That seems like... not very many? Probably not much of a problem? Not really anyone's business but theirs and their partner's?

Never underestimate the self-delusion that's possible when you're really, really lonely.

Agency is the key here. Roller Derby players aren't generally required to sexualize their outfits/uniforms - they have a lot of control over what they wear, or don't wear. Their outfits are often customized to fit a persona they've developed individually, and that persona is not required to be traditionally sexy. It…

To be fair, it's not having $1000, it's having enough that you can spare $1000. But yeah, you could be someone with no kids earning 100K and living a modest lifestyle, which is well off, to be sure, but probably not "rich" by most people's conceptions - and you could afford this. Me, as a graduate student, not so…

People who have the resources to provide something to a person who needs or deserves it, and who are generous with those resources, are good people (at least by that limited metric, yadda yadda).

You're keeping Indiana? And Oklahoma? I'd trade those for Kentucky and North Carolina.

> who are these poor gay guys?!

It's not that I don't get the joke, nor do I think it's overtly anti-gay. I do think that there's a tendency (one I have fallen prey to myself) for gay allies to say "lol he's probably gay", which I think (1) however unwittingly does perpetuate the idea that calling someone gay is something they'll be upset about and…

I had this thought, but the sad fact is that lots of young men are taught to project their discomfort with sex onto the women they're with. Men are told to be confident and experienced (even when they're not) so if they're scared they need a reason; couple that with a willingness to disparage women and you get this.

0:14 this was the take where she looked the least horrified.

Hmm, interesting points.

>I think I can 100% say, "I am assertive," without using the word "bitch."

Alternatively, it's a recognition that "bitch" has already been defined as female assertion - so why not claim that as a good thing?

It shows their amazing dedication to their craft that they were able to keep an entire design and engineering team on drugs for long enough to build that ridiculous-looking car.

You mean magnesium? Mercury is both a liquid and a potent neurotoxin, so you'd be unlikely to have strips and also unlikely to be doing awesome now.

I don't normally join in the "Jezebel is sexist against men!" thing, but Lulu is creepy as shit and I can't imagine them posting something similar where men rated women (or at least, posting it without some much-deserved ranting).

Here in Madison WI we're crawling with bunnies, but also have a decent population of resident raptors (mostly red tails and coopers, but also some owls, and I had a sharp-shinned hawk in my back yard last week). I think the bunnies just out-reproduce them. If you walk down a city block at night you'll see 3-6 bunnies…

There are probably 200 rabbits in a one-block radius of my house. They're cute, in kind of the same way dandelions are pretty.

I was a mathlete (yep). I don't remember the name of the program, but each school had a team and we had meets where we'd compete doing math tests against other schools. IIRC there was an individual test and then one we'd complete as a team.
