I'm really disappointed with some retail employees— I remembered I had some co-workers who aren't even open to different possibilities.

Not everybody shops for themselves, people!

Magic 8 Ball, is it possible that a random internet person is more privy to my dietary choices, calorie intake, metabolic rate, & inherited bone structure than I am?

I'm sad to see things haven't changed. I got my PhD in astrophysics in the 90s and ended up marrying another astronomer. I can't think of a single female scientist I knew (not that there were many!) who found a partner outside of science. I had hoped things would have evolved since then.

I love that phrase (getting a used one)! I'm totally using it on my in-laws :)

I always feel like fates is smiling on me when using up a roll of toilet paper coincides perfectly with needing to dispose of a pad or tampon!

TMI, I'm sorry, but this is the truth: I started shaving because pubic hair tends to get stuck together when you're on your period and it is fucking gross. I was a virgin and single at the time and male opinion didn't figure into it at all.

Whenever these articles come up, someone is always like, "But POLY! Cause it's better and duh" and it always makes me cringe. Look, good for you. Hooray! I'm so glad you found something that works and I know you want to scream it from the rooftops. But it's not for everyone. This drug would be for people seeking…

I'm kinda bummed the VERY SPOILERY "alternate ending" posted over on Gawker didn't pop up here as well, especially since it's so perfect for many of us '80s kids who are also GoT fans.

Eh, I think Dracula's answer had a little more poetic edge to it. He even flung a wine glass!

So, as has been pointed out in at least one other thread, reproductive coercion is often linked to economic dependence on the abuser.

I didn't claim any causation. I only meant that it seems unseemly when you're above...25ish to think about 14-year-olds having sex, so for grown executives and designers to create products specifically designed to associate young teens with sexuality is (to me) creepy.

It's not really that much of a feud when one fanbase can just ground the other.

For their part, the parents are like, "Um, I pay like threeve fafillion megabucks (PLUS 'charitable donations') for you to sit around while my dumb kid plays Oregon Trail

When I did employment law, I used urban dictionary ALL OF THE TIME and I was a recent college grad who thought she was pretty hip. There's a lot of slang out there I just didn't know.

I'm surprised they could find such an attractive model to pose with such an unfit, awkward looking man.

(Kidding aside, Jes beats Jeffries every time.)

Stolen from my tumblr feed a million years ago but still:

I think that there are subcultures in which having a flashy car gets attention from a certain type of woman inside that subculture. I grew up in the south, in a small town. A guy driving a new Super Duty Platinum with duallies but who lives in a single-wide trailer would get an enormous amount of attention from the…

Once there was a guy who liked rants

The More You Know: "Immaculate Conception" refers to Mary (the mother), not Jesus (the child). Mary had to be without sin in order to give birth to the messiah, and since everyone is born with Original Sin according to the Church, she therefore had to be "immaculately conceived."
