It’s true!

Yeah, I was initially sort of disgusted by the idea of a boyfriend and a father treating this woman like a prop through whom they can act out some possibly-weirdly-possessive fantasies, but also OH WELL, as far as she’s concerned, being dead is the ultimate way to not play along. And also we all do this to varying…

I told my husband he had better not piss me off because if he dies before me and I’m mad at him, I’ll throw him the biggest, most religious ceremony I can. Because I am a vindictive bitch.

Why doesn’t Adam Brody have Paul Rudd’s career?

Because Paul Rudd has chosen not to age and thus does not need a replacement.

You’ve got it backwards, if babies looked like that, we’d think that would look cute. I mean like anything in evolution, there’s feedback in both directions, but it’s not like cuteness is defined by anything other than baby-likeness or child-likeness so it doesn’t really impose any constraints on what babies look like.

Every movie I’ve ever seen says that your genetic engineering will absolutely fail and they’ll eat you and then they’ll eat all of us.

But she won’t be on trial for being in the Nazi party. She will be on trial for genocide, the first element of which is that it is a crime of intent. So I imagine the State has very clear evidence that she knowingly worked as a telegraphs officer for the purpose of “destroying in whole or in part” the Jewish…

In that case I don’t know why you feel you can’t weigh in. If a clothes factory in Dhaka collapsed due to negligence, you don’t have to be Bangladeshi to feel whether the people responsible should be prosecuted. Likewise you can judge just as well whether pursuing these old cases is worthwhile or not. Personally I…

And certainly, I understand feeling that way. But consider that by defecting from the party, they also took great personal risk, and a 20 year old probably would have been very scared to do that, on several levels. I’m not saying it’s right, not at all - the morally right choice is frequently the most difficult one to…

Yes. My mother and I both hate (hatehatehate) spiders - we once left my sister (SCREAMING!) strapped in her special toddler seat after we saw a massive huntsman spider in the car and bailed out the front seats - my mother CLIMBED over the gear stick, and given she was very heavily pregnant at the time, it was a feat…

I laughed at this article because I could see myself doing this, but it’s no joke. I could actually see myself doing this, because I’m that afraid. I’ve avoided websites for hours (including Jez) because i saw a story with a picture of a spider posted and needed to wait for it to get to a later page before it was safe…

I can think of many reasons...

What is it with rich white middle aged dudes being obsessed with the mob? In terms of the million subjects that haven’t been made a 100 times yet, and the fact that DiCaprio could get finance for any project under the moon, whyyyyy something so predictable and dull?

My parents lab, Shelby, knew my grandma was dying before grandma told us (we knew she was sick and old, but she’d kept her brain cancer secret from everyone). When grandma was staying with them, the usually bouncy lab wouldn’t leave her side and was incredibly calm and gentle around her. When grandma went into…

Anyone besides me do the full-on ugly cry at the end of Homeward Bound, after Shadow the Golden (who spent days trapped in a hole and his fellow pets refused to leave him) finally comes into view after the other 2 pets have long bounded to the house, and everyone has given Shadow up for dead? When he finally limps…

This is why dogs are better than cats, people.

My hair is 3c according to the Andre Walker system so I’ve frequently encountered that bullshit. Surprisingly, what I would call my most hurtful experience with it actually happened outside of work and with a group of coworkers I consider friends. One woman shows up with very slight waves in her normally stick…

Her comments weren’t phrased terribly well, but I absolutely think it’s worth talking about how gendered these forms of PDA are, in the same way it’s worth talking about women giving up their own names when they get married, even though many of them are eager and happy to do so. Women liking something, or choosing to…
