I don't think I can possibly overstate how much (true) confidence can add to your attractiveness. I am a whole bunch of things society considers unattractive (overweight, crooked teeth, crappy clothing, and oh god I have no idea how to do my hair). The only things I have going for me are I had the good luck to be born…

I'm gonna go with I hate relationship advice in general. (Most) women get annoyed when women are portrayed as one monolithic group who feels the same about everything, so who says the same advice will work for different men (or women)? So then the only sound advice boils down to "Don't be a jerk." There, I've given…

When I was a small child (in the 80s) my pediatrician told my parents to make me drink a glass of milk every night with dinner. So far, so good. But she specified that it had to be whole milk until I turned three, at which point they needed to switch to skim milk. To this day, I still have memories of the horror…

That looks like something I'd enjoy. Thanks!

That's disappointing. I'll just have to go read some Iain M. Banks for my AI fix then.

I don't know enough about kids to attest to the legitimacy of the review, I more wanted to point out that I can totally see a kid getting access to their parent's Amazon account. It's not something you'd necessarily think to lock down, like (hopefully) your bank account.

Does the artificial intelligence aspect of it add any interest? I've been torn between distaste for manic-pixie-dream-robot and my interest in all things futuristic.

Amazon keeps me logged in (it asks for a password again before I buy anything). Granted, I don't have small children around, but I don't find it hard to believe that some parents aren't particularly concerned with the possibility that their children might post weird reviews on Amazon.

While not necessarily an informative review, it seems like there could be a lot worse places (internet or otherwise) for a kid to be on than Amazon.

Maybe it'll be different when/if I have kids, but I see nothing in this photo that makes me reconsider my general rule of "Other people's children are none of my business unless they are doing something that directly impacts me."

Also making the list is something called Functional Fitness, the exercises of which simulate common movements used in your every day life to train your body to be prepared for daily tasks.

Only one heartbreak? So watching Titanic when I was 13 was it for me?

Ah thanks for the clarification. I don't know much about Buddhism, but I was aware that many practicing Buddhists did not believe in any sort of deity. I did also know that Buddhism was related to Hinduism, and wasn't sure if some Buddhists believed in the Hindu pantheon.

I should suggest to my landlord that requiring a pet deposit is trampling my religious freedoms.

Do you believe in Buddhism in a supernatural deity sense or a philosophical sense? (Not trying to prove a point, I'm genuinely curious about adopting an entirely different world view). Also, were you Hindu (or another religion somewhat related to Buddhism) previously, or something completely different?

OK Cupid does do some neat stuff actually (if you find data analysis interesting that is). However, this is basically finding a correlation and having some random person speculate as to why the correlation exists, and presenting the speculation as fact.

So basically an online dating site did a bunch of data analysis and found some correlations, and then news services asked random people why they thought those statistics might be true, and then posted the answers as the reasons for those correlations?

My Pinterest is full of recipes. I can't say I would be terribly upset if my boyfriend cooked for the next major gift-giving occasion.

I felt the exact same way when I started Pinterest (and I'm also the same age as you, maybe this is what it feels like to start getting old?) I stuck it out and found it worth it, but only because I cook.
