Sometimes laughter isn't caused by something funny. People laughing when they're nervous or anxious is a pretty well documented phenomenon. It's a defense mechanism to separate out your story from the list of things that could one day possibly happen to them. Not that their behavior isn't rude or anything: defense…

This is me. Before I gave up using actual hairbrushes years ago, I couldn't even run a hand through my dry, crackly frizz-curls. Now I use only my fingers or a BIG comb (the biggest one you can find, seriously), and went to co-washing with a light coconut-based formula (As I Am is pretty great, and smells fantastic),…

Thank you. That shit demeans people who actually make things. He should have had the skywriters write: #stopmooching, #stopbeingadouche, or #stopstealing.

I tweeted that he should get some of this: http://www.geekalerts.com/cyber-clean-ke…

So, who did I love more: my dad or my cat?

Seriously, I spent three days googling foreign prisons after I saw the way they depicted Norwegian prison on Lilyhammer. We treat people like animals in this country. It's so sad that I lack both the words and sufficient emotional range to grasp and express the sheer size of it it.

Well, they've had a rough year already. They deserve something to look forward to.

Who saw my boyfriend walking around in my yoga pants? I want 10%!!

This gif wins my internet today. I died laughing.

No, I thought he came from a region that has serious trouble with nanobots.

I have one dress that I bought just for the gorgeous skirt on it. It's black with white polka dots and this amazing ruffled train. I knew from the start the top of it would never fit, because it was just a flat flap of cloth. Such a waste of a lovely skirt design to even bother attaching the top to it.

I could definitely have my living will dictate that they have to consult, even if we were married, at least here in NY. It wouldn't necessarily stop actions from happening if my spouse got all crazy, since a doctor wouldn't check if I didn't have an ongoing file with them. But, my sister could barge in with paperwork…

hahaha. Now I'm gonna go write "Just fat" on all my maternity clothes tags. The paranoia spreads!

Amen! Because I will wear a maternity top if it's cute and it fits. But all those other racks where sizes only go from 2 to (1)2. . . . I have so many adorable dresses that squish my boobs unbearably. I have to find a friend who is like two sizes smaller in the bust than me so I can give her all the dresses I can't…

I'm pretty sure that in fifteen years no one will remember this and his juvenile record will be sealed.

Take the Harvard intro class with me on edx!! cs50x

I can understand that.

Heinlein explored this in a bunch of his works: The Moon is a Harsh Mistress, Time Enough for Love. He called that situation "linear marriage" where new spouses join the family, but are only married directly to the person or persons they committed to in the ceremony.

Properly done, there is existing paperwork that can cover those situations. I'm in a monogamous relationship, but I would want my fiance to consult with my sister before making decisions about me should I become incapacitated. I'm not saying you're wrong by any means. Obviously, you end up in a lot of trouble in those…

Yes! This had me calling my dog doge back in 2006! Now I feel like an old hipster....
