I'm pretty much on board with all of this — however, I've thought in the past that asking everyone to "unplug" at least during the ceremony might be a good thing. It kind of sucks how everyone is experiencing things through screens now, and I've been to at least one wedding where a solid third of the guests had

I like the part about not getting in the paid photographer's way. DO NOT COME OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE AISLE WHILE I AM TAKING PHOTOS AND HOLD YOUR IPHONE 4 UP BECAUSE I WILL CUT YOU. This past weekend I actually had friends and family of the bride look me and my coworker, clearly the paid videographer and

Yeah, but are you really comfortable with religious advice from an ADMITTED SONDHEIM HATER?

Ugh. I think we should all agree to stop talking about "shocking" PETA campaigns. It just gives their horrible group more publicity. There's no chance an actual teenager would ever find that ad amusing anyway.

Thank you for this comment, I'll look into Intuitive Eating soon!

Have you ever experienced it yourself? I guess not. I hope not. When I was young I had a functional cyst — I didn't know it. The pain was excruciating. I almost blacked out. I vomited — the whole nine. It was AWFUL. I remember a nurse basically saying to me what you just said and to this day I wonder (and

To seize and detain or carry away by unlawful force or fraud and often with a demand for ransom, is the definition of kidnapping. I think it's spot on.

I'm sorry, but the last part is a bit like saying "I'm not racist because I have lots of black friends." You may or may not be sexist, but holding up your coworkers as evidence doesn't work.

Ok, I get it, you don't have empathy. Also you think women are liars when they tell you about their pain. I bet that if you keep up the good work, they'll make you an honorary white man some day. Then you won't have to worry about other women making you look bad. Fingers crossed!

I'm very conflicted about this. Kids should be able to wear what they want as long as they are having fun with it, but the impact of wearing heels is so much greater than wearing a frilly dress or fancy top. Children's feet are still developing and growing, and regularly wearing high heels is just asking for trouble

Most of me agrees with you, but there is the tiny part of me whose heart skipped a giddy beat at the thought of no-questions-asked time off to deal with my debilitating, painful periods. Thanks for acknowledging that you don't face many problems - I'll be interested to see how others respond who also, like me, have

Yes. It is problematic for children to wear high heeled shoes (defined as two inch heels or higher in this study) because wearing high heels can cause the fibers in the calf muscles to shorten and the Achilles tendon to stiffen and thicken. This can lead to discomfort while standing flatfooted, and may even cause

Are you also the type of person that gets upset when poor people buy from Arby's when its cheaper to eat Ramen, or when a homeless person has a cell phone?

I think you misunderstood. Jokes are supposed to be funny.

You guys really need some new material.

Totally! I also think it's one of those things that gets brought up because people ask about it. You can't comment on the fact I'm not eating meat, ask me a bunch of questions about it, and proceed to get pissed off when I answer them. People also get super defensive about their carnivorous habits, which makes me

The best is that the people that bitch most about preachy vegans are the ones that tend to be preachy themselves: "Oh, vegans think everyone should only eat vegan stuff and I hate that! C'mon guys, eat some red meat! How can you not eat red meat! GOD BASICALLY TOOK THIS COW AND GRILLED IT FOR YOU HE WANTS YOU TO EAT

Where do you people meet all of these alleged "annoying vegans"? I swear, I've had literally one person question me on the ethics of eating fish or whatever, which was, to be honest, annoying as shit. But I roll deep with liberals and hippies and queers, and I still generally don't find myself the subject of these

So this! I hear so often "I could be vegan except for cheese". So? Don't eat animals/animal products except for cheese. It's not some rule that you have to be vegan to help animals. Eating no other animal products but cheese is still doing a lot of good if your reasons are wanting to help animals!

Speaking as a landlord—my wife and I rent out a rowhouse we bought in the old neighborhood in which we used to live—if you have a private owner (as opposed to renting from a corporation), ASK. If there's an upgrade that you think is worthwhile and I agree, I might even do it for you! At the very least I might agree to
