In the course of an arrest being made, the arrested individual sustained injuries.

I'm going to go with: Yes, all of this is bad. You should probably not be anywhere near her, tbh.

I filet my M&Ms bag, opening one end, then peeling down the two long ends until I have a sort of 2-page leaflet of an M&Ms wrapper, on which I spread out all the M&Ms for sorting. I then make flowers with them, 6 M&Ms around the edge and one in the center. I eat the flower, then make another, until the M&Ms are gone.…

This is my go-to. They ain't cheap, but the designs are beautiful.

It's the preferred term in Canada. In the USA, the preferred terms are American Indians and Native Americans.

I voted in AZ (land of McCain) in 2008. I was standing in line to cast my ballot for Obama when I realized that a cluster of young Republicans was right behind me. They were sure McCain was going to win because, and I quote,

I have had athlete's foot for a while now - getting to the point where it can be embarrassing to be asked to take off my shoes in someone's home if I've been walking around a lot that day. Any more tips? I'll take all the advice I can get.

Personal anecdote only, but: I find that my gums bleed when I floss only if I haven't been flossing regularly. Once I get into a daily habit, the bleeding goes away 100% within a few days.

This article does a good job of laying out the pros & cons of TOMS. I'm replying to you directly because you're the top of the thread, but I hope it catches the eye of other people in this thread who have commented about where they're made and the quality.

That would be #5 from the article linked above:

My first thought was that I'm so, so glad you have a tight group of friends who understand the risks and care about each other's safety. That kind of bond is a lot rarer than I once assumed.

My guesses:

Yeah, I think those two pieces of advice really need to go hand-in-hand. An experienced writer with decades of practice should only need a thesaurus when the right word is on the tip of her tongue and she wants to jog her memory. But a fledgling 18-year-old writing his very first short story? Part of the joy of…

Car-related places (dealerships, mechanics, whatever) are at the top of my "I'm probably going to get sketched out and/or condescended to (maybe both!) while I'm there, better wear my unsexiest clothing" list. Any such place whose advertising was over-the-top sexualized would never, ever, ever get any business from me.

Dreadlocks have been around since, oh, the dawn of human history. Just because you associate them with Jamaicans and weed doesn't give that connection a teensy, tinsy bit of validity. Had you typed "dreadlocks" into Google and opened Wikipedia (which is the second link down after the Z/G scandal), you would have found…

Back on his first season hosting American Idol (when there were TWO hosts named Ryan!) the three judges were wisecracking after a performance and he chewed them out, "This is a really nerve wracking moment for a young person on stage, can you cut it out and take this seriously?" He certainly didn't set the tone of the…

Start with the science to frame the reproductive stuff, then explain that sometimes sex is just about feeling good and people can have sex even when they can't biologically reproduce (eg gay sex, infertility, older couples). The variety of examples lets you be inclusive but also helps explain things like…

Watch or read something sad? "The Body" episode of Buffy would do it for me I think. (Though perhaps not if you haven't seen the whole series.) Some movies are called tearjerkers for a reason!

In my area JNCO was for (white) skater rebels and FUBU was "for-us-by-us" on-trend black folk clothing; I desperately coveted a FUBU denim jumpsuit in Charade but I knew I'd be laughed out of my predominantly black school if I tried it. Sooooooooo imma go with no, but I'll be curious to see other responses.

RIP dELiA*s. You and alloy made me the woman of questionable fashion I am today.
