Yes, my friends & I also had a discussion about this phenomena at a music festival. There are definitely people who pull off the "festival effect" mocked above. But they're probably 1 in 100 of those that attempt the look. And the reason they can pull it off is equal parts attitude and understanding just how far to…

Yeah, sorry if that was unclear, but I was 100% agreeing with you.

Wait is there already a non-makeup/beauty related Sephora brand in the UK? Is that why there are Sephora's all over France/Italy/Spain, but zilch in the UK & Ireland?

Pretty sure that's the rule for all reoccurring trends. You only get one go on the merry-go-round.

I'm pretty sure the first rule of doing denim on denim without looking like a pre-teen circa 2002 is that the shades of the two pieces should be very different. It also helps a lot if the weight/texture of the two fabrics is noticeably different. If Cuoco's top was about 2 shades lighter, that outfit would be fine. …

Yeah, but since his family lives in California and not Detroit or Central America that's a super asinine comparison.

I think some of that line of thinking could be attributed to the fact that a lot of people don't know how to properly file out their W-4 for and/or don't update their W-4 when appropriate (like getting married, having a child, etc.). So they are actually taxed at a higher rate than necessary. I know way to many…

You do realize that all of that is almost certainly attributed attributed to demographic difference in homeschooled and non-homeschooled kids, right? The homeschooled kids are largely white and middle class or above (i.e. they can at least afford to have one parent stay home and do the home schooling). Public…

No it's not legal. Per the US Department of Labor: "Employers must pay live-in domestic service workers at least the federal minimum wage, currently $7.25 per hour, for all hours worked. (The worker may be entitled to a higher hourly wage under state law requirements.) When a live-in worker engages in typical private…

It's not legal in any state. You can't pay employees in room & board.

Interesting! I scored 51%(I)/49%(E) on the Meyers-Brigg test administered by my work. I'm assuming that probably qualifies me as an ambivert as well, though I'd never heard that term before today.

I'm pretty confused by that definition, because I got told by my gyno* just last month that the threshold for binge drinking is generally considered six servings of alcohol in one evening.

I really like how they went from "Women prefer to wear the same size clothing between different brands" to "Let's make everything stretchy/adjustable and switch to S/M/L sizing" instead of the more logical "Let's design & stick to uniform industry size guidelines."

There's a US case that is almost certainly about to surpass this; in case any of the misogynists whining in the comments need help maintaining their rage boners.

A lot of 18-25 year olds use Tindr as a dating app.

The recidivism rate for murder is actually extremely low (excluding serial killers). So, since the justice system should be about what is best for society and not revenge, then unreasonably long minimum sentences for murder (10 years+) aren't actually benefiting society. Scandinavian countries have much earlier…

Fair enough, I was being slightly glib there.

I don't understand the confusion (not just yours, the many in this thread). The two scales have to intersect at some point, otherwise you wouldn't be able to convert between them. The formula for conversion is °F = (°C x 9/5) + 32. So set °C = °F, then (°C x 4/5) = -32. Thus at °C = -32 x (5/4) = -40, °F = °C. It's…

You're husband's surgeon is hopefully not a liver specialist. The average human's liver can fully process a serving of alcohol in 2-4 hours. So theoretically, drinking a single serving of wine (which I do want to point out is only ~4oz- i.e. less than most people pour themselves in a glass) every night while…
