Ya, I think everyone here needs to stop blaming thongs and read "What's Your Poo Telling You?" My old roommate and I had a copy on the toilet for bathroom reading (obviously) and this lead to hilarious poop conversations every time we had guests, because apparently having this book in your bathroom opens up the floor…

I'm with you on this one. I know for most people it seems to be the opposite, but the more fabric is involved, the less comfortable I feel. I would go commando if I didn't wear skinny jeans basically everyday and, well, gross? I think this entire comments section needs a new diet, though, because this poop on the…

Ya, my first reaction was "this is so stupid...ly necessary for my life!" Anything that reduces the number of "ARE YOU ALIVE?" texts from my parents/my boyfriend/my friends/my cat can only be a good thing (and they're starting to get suspicious of my "it was on silent!" schtick, even though it's actually the truth 99% …

You've never had to punish them in any way? Given them a time out? Sent them to their room? Taken something away from them? Threatened punishment?...and they somehow defy nature by never testing boundaries, never acting like a kid, never requiring even the slightest punishment or reprimand for doing what kids do? (And…

No...it really doesn't, because at this point you are just arguing with yourself. I don't care if and what Richard Dawkins or anyone else chooses to post on Twitter. I was just pointing out the limitations of the platform for intelligent discourse. For future reference, if all you are looking for is to pick an…

Your comment...doesn't...make any sense? I just said I didn't misunderstand him, and I said nothing about his need to "write more eloquently" (that's certainly not Dawkins' problem). What I did say was that the limitations of Twitter make it easy for someone to be misunderstood – this is a general statement, not…

I don't know how old your daughter is, but I was definitely thinking that these would be adorable in a pint-sized edition (because if anyone can pull off bedazzled orthopedics, it's a toddler)

I think I would actually prefer that reality, over them taking themselves sooo seriously.

I was coming here just to point this out. A veritable flood of Fashion Editor to Blogger tears of joy have surely been shed over these, the bedazzled orthopedic, least painful of all shoes!

Is there ever a "right place" to force people to listen to you wax on about your project?? Basically no, so the rule of thumb is discuss it anywhere! I'm actually working with the social theory of secrecy originally posited by Georg Simmel, which focuses on secrecy as a form of communication and way of constructing…

Can I just say, you're basically my hero right now? Also, I've just realised the possible benefits of a degree in conflict resolution for the sole purpose of navigating internet commenting sections...

I've had a similar skin battle from the sounds of it. I tried the oil cleansing method multiple times with different oil combinations. I always tried to will it to work, because my skin always felt so good at first, but within a week or two the major breakouts were telling a different story. Other than prescribed…

While I generally agree with what you're saying/travelled a similar "Dawkins-arc" (I was a Dawkins fan until I struggled through the first few chapters of The God Delusion, and concluded he is a very very bitter person), I don't see how him being an evolutionary biologist precludes him from tweeting about, well,…

I wonder if anyone has investigated why this string of tweets originated? As in, was he trying to weigh in on some pre-existing discussion in the twitterverse, or did he just wake-up today and decide "Not enough people hate me. I should go on Twitter (so as to limit any possible context) and use a really unfortunate…

Ya, I really want to know how this string of tweets originated, but I just get platform-induced rage when I go on Twitter. There's something about stupid things said in 140-words or less that really gets my goat.

Wait, what's a "Baby Racist"? Being racist as a baby? Being racist against babies? An employee from that Canadian fertility clinic that's against rainbow families??

I feel you. All I could think when I first read this was "why Twitter??" You're just asking to be horribly misunderstood in 140 words or less.

No kidding. My first thought when reading this was that Twitter has to be the worst possible choice of platform for such a poorly thought out philosophical exercise (slash, any philosophical exercise).

I think what's been misunderstood with this tweet (largely because why would you use Twitter as a platform for this kind of argument, which requires context to not come across as, well, your own personal opinion) is that he's making a basic philosophical argument, and the x and y scenarios (in this case date rape v.…

I actually understood what he was trying to do, since it is a basic philosophical argument (especially when taken in context with the later tweets that referenced x and y options). But I don't know why he bothered bringing that shit to Twitter, because you're just begging to be misunderstood. Especially, as you…
