I was scrolling through to see if anyone else had caught this reference. Poor cousin Alton.

Mark, this REALLY needs an edit and clarification. I understand how it happened, but inferring "six men" from "six people" is flat-out wrong in this instance; The Independent is saying it's four women and two men.

Stick with "Doctor's Appointment" without shame. If pressed, explain that you've been having extremely heavy periods or ongoing diarrhea or something so squicky that they never dare ask you again. I have Irritable Bowel Syndrome, and I give you full permission to use my disease in service of your job hunt. Even the…

I'm a 30-year-old virgin myself, so I get the pressure, believe me. I wrote a Wall O' Text in response, but I think it'll be easier to understand the tl;dr version.

Hi Jezzies! I live in the US, and ever since college, most of my friends have done most or all of their dating online. Recently I've been debating moving overseas, and it occurred to me that I have no idea if online dating is as popular elsewhere as it is in the US. I assume it is, but I don't actually know. So I'm…

Hands-down the best thing I've ever seen on Buzzfeed: http://www.buzzfeed.com/danieljoseolde…

Jeans, schmeans. We can't even buy underwear without having to do SAT-level math first.

After the Sandy Hook shootings, this article really opened my eyes: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/12/16/i-a…

That had better be slow-acting venom. There's a big difference between dying with 50 pages left unread and dying as soon as you close the book. If he kills me off before I get to the last page I will come back to haunt him, Stoneheart-style.

The more I think about this idea, the more I like it. Pretty easy to have the trial play out differently, and [fortheloveofgodspoilers] after Tywin's death it's not as though Cersei will continue to offer him a seat on Tommen's small council.

First, I appreciate that you're trying, because it sounds like you are. I'm going to encourage you not to respond to me, because I don't want to get into a long back-and-forth. I'm just going to try to address some of what you said, and let you marinate on it, and hopefully help resolve some of these issues that seem…

Ohmygodthankyou. All of the stars. All of them.

I hate, hate, hate what Joan Rivers did. That said, making a joke in (terrible, horrible, shameful, unforgivable) bad taste doesn't compare in my mind with running someone over and kicking him in the head twenty times, and it seems like at least some of these guys have also tried to commit rape, and are likely to keep…

Yep. I read this and thought, "Probably sociopaths, probably going to be millionaires, go sour in middle age when their intimidation and self-certainty can't save them from aging, then develop an addiction, cheat on their wives, have horrible relationships with their children, and die alone." I'm a silver-lining kind…

When you say terrifying to encounter, can you elaborate - do you mean it was unpleasant to demand that they leave the library because they were jerks, or were you concerned that they would threaten/assault you for doing your job?

God, I'm so sorry you went through that. How awful. The way universities handle rape accusations makes me sick. We've got to be able to do better than this.

I bookmarked that article when it first came out and can't count how often I've checked it. I wanted to assume the middle bit was obvious, but sadly you never know. ;)

Here's a simple litmus test:

An American Indian headdress is a religious item. It's not equivalent to an afro. Really, truly, I'm not making that up. The best analogy I've heard is to compare it to a purple heart. It's something earned and special and sacred. I wasn't trying to draw a line-by-line comparison between blackface and headdresses, so…

Firstly, if you would like to be lost on the Internet for a day, I recommend TV Tropes (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.…). You can look up any subject where you think you might be falling into cliche and see how it's been handled before. They're especially good at describing stock character types that you may have…
