It will most likely be cross-posted to The Root in due time, when someone with posting privileges shares it. The real question is why Jezebel’s first and only contribution to JezeRoot Pride Month appears the day after Pride Month concluded.

But by saying “Hey dudes! Think of how much money you’ll save if she has an abortion!” is encouraging other conversations:

The fact that they toss out around the word “groupthink” so freely while ensconced in a secret, private listserv where they happily jerk each other off about how great they are is pretty much the epitome of the problem.

Its not even just NY — I find rudeness in retail everywhere, and I’m someone who is constantly accused of giving folks the benefit of the doubt too often.

Guess you’re not from NY

It depends on how much media you consume as well. Even buying Prime just for streaming is reasonable. $120 is cheaper than Netflix. Their selection isn’t as large, but how much of Netflix’s selection is complete crap you’d never watch. 90%+ probably?

My problem with Amazon is the increasing amount of shit inventory from overseas and counterfeit/bait and switch goods.

Every so often, I order so much stuff from Amazon, I step back and think, “maybe I should try going to a physical retail store more”. So when I actually do, I’m reminded of why I don’t: between the rudeness of the other shoppers, crowds, lines, and my biggest personal pet peeve - rude check out people. To think I…

Eh, even for $120 I usually make the Prime fee back in discounts. Then again I can control my spending.

Agreed. I’ve been an Amazon Prime Member since 2006 and joined Prime when they first offered it. I’ve never once felt obligated to spend more because I have it. I do spend more with Pantry sometimes just to fill the box, but it’s groceries I’d buy anyway. I spend more with Amazon due to convenience, not obligation or…

No offense, but maybe the title should have been:

Anytime a prime order arrives late I open a Amazon chat window with their customer service and complain. I’m pretty much always rewarded with a free month of prime.

I really want to like Ariana Grande but I cannot look at her without thinking of that scene in Community where Annie is doing the over-the-top “sexy Xmas baby” shtick.

I’m much more concerned that the memory of this period will make her hang about long after she should be on self protection mode. That’s the tendency in BPD couplings. You wait for the person you fell for to come back forgetting that alot of what you fell for are actually just symptoms of his idealisation phase. Maybe…

and Jon Snow are getting married today in REAL LIFE Ygritte’s family castle in REAL LIFE because she is of noble blood in REAL LIFE!!!

Ariana is the 30 Rock very sexy baby joke come to life and it makes me v uncomfortable. That’s probably the nicest and most Jezebel-friendly way I can respond to Pete’s assertion. And yes, I understand that taste is subjective.

I have noticed that most feminist websites need to employ at least one writer over 30 because the sites have no clue what life is like outside of academia or their echo chambers. This reminds me of them complaining that Dietland was sooo 2008 and that no one cared if women were fat anymore.

Hi. Have you met children? Have you tried to hold their attention during story-time? Have you spent hours at a library trying to direct them to books that weren’t filled with retrograde sexist garbage because that’s 90% of what’s been published since the invention of the Gutenberg press? No? Then kindly take a…

It’d be great to see people find a way to write kids’ books about activist communities! And daily life in whatever-time-period! I read some good daily-life books as a kid and they were truly engrossing.

Jesus Goatfucking Christ, we have FINALLY gotten a little representation in children’s books, and now you’re bitching that it doesn’t have enough torture in it?
