It's not the flavor, it's the fact that they are eating and/or being held that calms the baby. Babies also calm down for formula, and that stuff tastes like chalk and bird poop mixed together. Also, who is going to give a lollipop — made of sugar, which they are emphatically not supposed to have — to an infant?

Though I obviously disagree with your idea that fat = lazy, I agree with your overall point that complimenting people who do not fit beauty standars on how beautiful they are can seem disingenuous sometimes and can even be counterproductive when those people have quite more important qualities. However, though I don't…

I apologize for calling you sweetie. It was not intended to diminish your opinion. I'm Southern and we say that sort of thing.

Overweight vegetarians aren't rare, I've known quite a few. I think that maybe people who are surprised by this are used to vegetarians who are quite outspoken about their diets, so they maybe assume that if someone doesn't go around talking about their diet, they just eat the average non-vegetarian diet...?

I met a girl at a party once who was wearing a tee that said "I make good sandwiches" and had a picture of a retro 50's lady on it. Way to fuel the flame.

I feel like a lot of guys claim the sandwich thing is funny because it's so archaic, and they don't actually think women belong in the kitchen. But, like, they would never dream of saying something like "Black guy, go pick me some cotton."

Done!

Fat vegetarian here! Nice to meet you.

I'm sure you're the very first person on the internet to tell me the experience I live every day must not be happening because some other people said it happens to them, too.

oh, hell naw. Let's do this, son!

AHHHH, but by an elegant twist of coincidence, that kiosk also sells a tee shirt that proclaims, "I am insecure with my masculinity. I'm probably a very selfish and unsuccessful lover."

The entire point of that sentence was Daily Mail + chiropractors + bra inventors with interest in selling bras = TAKE WITH SALT.

About 7 months into my current relationship, I (drunkenly) confessed to my s/o that, half the time when I say I'm tired and want to go home , it's really because I cannot stand to wear my bra one more fucking minute. He still doesn't completely get it...the thing is that there's simply no way to explain to those…

My brother: Who the hell would pay $65 for just a bra?
Me: You shut your stupid face! You shut your face forever! *cries*

I work in advertising. I ask those questions. I get ignored. Or the side-eye. Or 'HAHAHAHA you women are so sensitive.' Shit's not going to change until we have more female creative directors (fun fact: only 3% are female), despite advertising's creative and open-minded reputation. The hipster ad agency I used to work…

Do you know how many people have to say yes to something like this before it goes public? Something in the dynamic of that food chain needs to be seriously changed.

This had to have taken forever to create. It's like a hand-made quilt. I love it so hard.

hmm. why is that kiosk now on fire?

Damn, I was hoping it was the real thing.
