probably thinks it’s like “young adult socializing”

It was a semi-big thing on black Twitter and Tumblr last winter, so I guess it's about time for it to crossover.

DC itself has a fairly prominent hipster scene. The surrounding metro area less so, but that’s mostly due to the bad Metro system* and the shitty bike transport into the city. Hipsters generally don't want to drive.

I can't imagine they're actually going to phase out the Starwood brands, but most people don't actually know how M&As work, so I'm not surprised by the preemptive (and likely unfounded) outrage.

Isn’t the general hypothesis that that relationship mostly related to breastfeeding and medical care? I.e., women who have longer maternity leave tend to breastfeed for longer, which improves their kids immune system and development. And women who have longer paid maternity leave are more likely to be able to take…

You can have compassion for the mother while acknowledging that the title of this article is basically trolling.

Agreed. Her loss is terrible here, but the insinuation that if she had been at home with the child he wouldn’t have spontaneously died was bugging me for the reasons you laid out.

I think approximately 1 in 10 Americans* are taking some form of anti-depressant. So, yes, I assume that when you factor in other mental health issues, the numbers are probably pretty in line with the general population.

I'm fine with people telling their kids they're beautiful as long as it's not just the girls getting this treatment. Kids definitely notice when the girls are largely complimented with "pretty" or "nice" while boys are complimented with "smart" or "brave".

I’m firmly of the belief that people who cheat are gonna cheat at some point no matter what you do. Your situation with your ex wouldn’t have turned out any differently- most likely if you had complained about him getting drinks with female colleagues, he would have just stopped telling you about it. Being cheated on…

All I am reading from your comments in this thread is that you have no real female friends, and, therefore, don't understand that men who do have real female friends might want to hangout with them from time to time. And that sometimes their wife/gf may not also be available or they may both enjoy an activity that…

This is one of the most ridiculous things I've ever read on this website, so congrats on that I guess.

I’m pretty sure tretinoin is a Class C drug, which means there is a very small increase in the possibility of birth defects when used during pregnancy. So, you will most likely be able to get a prescription but they may tell you to cease use once you are pregnant. Here’s a factsheet with more details: https://mothertob…

Possibly an unpopular opinion, but my general thoughts on stolen art and artifacts is that they have ~100 year statute of limitations.* Basically, if there are people still alive who remember that shit getting stolen (or “discovered” if you’re a museum) then you need to return it and maybe pay damages. But I think…

Prefacing my opinion: I am a person who goes and sees movies (pretentious ones & big-budget ones pretty equally) in theaters pretty regularly & I’m friends with a couple other people who are also regular movie-goers. I’ve also been in a couple test screening audiences for major studio films.

It’s a combination of cheapness and convenience. Uber is generally cheaper than a cab, but it is almost always more convenient, which I think is the bigger selling point. Same deal with Airbnb, price-to-quality it generally kills commercial hotels. A $150-200/night Airbnb can usually get you a nice studio apartment in…

Commercial use in many homeowner’s policies doesn’t include rental, because that would create a weird situation for homeowner’s who wanted to let their spare bedroom.

If you go to someone’s house & die there in an accident such as the one in the story above, they are usually liable and their homeowner’s or renter’s insurance normally covers that liability to some degree. I can see an argument that Airbnb should require property owners to provide proof of sufficient homeowner's…

Totally agree that she thinks she’s above the audience of The View.

Have you bought from Nike before? Their shirt sizing is generally very consistent, I've found.
