I take most of my celebrity news from here bc I don't care enough to hunt it down otherwise, so my take is limited to what was reported here.

"Because abusers are masters of emotional warfare."

(Taking this out of the context of the Steenkamp murder and to a more general reply regarding domestic abuse.)

These former girlfriends are not interesting on their own.

I am not advocating killing old people because they are difficult, I am advocating helping people when they decide to put an end to their own suffering.

State assisted suicide should be an option for anyone suffering the disease. Obviously, it could only be a choice for those who are diagnosed while they are still capable of making their own decision. I think you can do it in Switzerland and the Netherlands.

A clean, white or black, t-shirt is best. Don't worry about size too much, as long as it isn't tight or too short it'll work just fine. Tampons and pads are not necessary but a toothbrush, neutral smelling shower gel and a clean towel are awesome. Maybe have some wet wipes for the face and a normal mousturizer (I…

People still use 'like' as a filler for everything?

This just seems a wee bit comical, since Jezebel loves to confuse the person with the persona and attaches weird labels "your bff hiddles" your bff "J-Law" for months until they drop them for a new idol du jour.

Is tortilla code for pussy?

Oh yes! It definitely depends on the context and the relationships of the people involved. I just wanted to mention that sometimes support can turn to enabling an abusive relationship. I think we're probably more in agreement than in disagreement on the whole thing. :)

I know, it's bad for both sides. I didn't mean to sound like boys don't get emotional over break-ups but we sort of expect girls to almost fall apart over it and we expect boys to tough it out and "man up". Both can be toxic. Which is yet another reason why those gender roles hurt both sides. :(

I disagree somewhat. Sometimes, when you "are there for the person" while they are still in the toxic relationship you enable them to stay put. So, depending on the context, it might be best to take a step back, explain why you are doing it and make it absolutely clear that you will be there for them when they decide…

But how much of that is due to hormones and how much of it is due to the messages we send out as a society? Boys get super hormonal during puberty too but we don't expect them to get weepy and suicidal when their teenage relationships fall apart. (Which can be problematic in its own way too but yeah...) But girls see…

To see how clean it looks before you enter it? It's the only thing I can think of.

It's past 9 pm where I am. Drink away.

If you are 5ft tall, weigh 250 pounds and live a sedantary lifestyle, the chances are very high that your fat percentage is above that of a 5ft tall person who weighs 175 pounds and leads a similar life. (I am not very familiar with pound or foot measurements so my apologies if those are impossible numbers.)

Weight is easily measurable at home and is a good, if rough, indicator of body fat percentage when the person doing the evaluation knows their activity level. Yes, muscle weighs more and if you are very muscular a high body weight is probably totally okay but if you lead a sedentary lifestyle, have no well-build…

You aren't poor unless you have to sell your bootstraps. And then you deserve to be poor anyway.

I just don't think they actually wonder about the international appeal, they don't need to. W-inds is relatively successful (or has been, like you I haven't really paid much attention to the whole scene in years) in SEA as a whole but their revenue is much much smaller than Arashi's or SMAP's. Their insularity is a…
