Great that someone can be counted on to be outraged by this - that's what keeps the clicks coming. She's not too old in any absolute sense. But she is too old for this competition's specific set of rules. There's really nothing controversial here. It just seems like an error was made.

Why is "too old" in quotes in the headline? Putting it in quotes suggests that you don't agree, or that you are critiquing the idea that anyone can be too old at 24. It makes the story look like it's going to be something far more controversial that it, in fact, is (ie. it's click bait). And of course 24 isn't too old…

This may be an unjustified prejudice, but as soon as I hear any guy call his friends his "buddies", that raises a red flag for me.

Both are high figures, so I understand the concern about both issues. But it seems unbalanced towards suspecting any healthy desire to lose weight as tending towards anorexia while being dismissive of the fact that there are health risks associated with obesity.

That really does sound serious. Glad to hear you're better now.

I'm so puzzled by all the hand-wringing over something that might, in certain instances, be related to anorexia when it can also be related to a healthy desire to be thinner. Personally, the word "skinny" makes me cringe, but a lot of people promoting fat acceptance don't seem to have a problem with it, and you can't…

I'm just kind of curious how you knew that your kidneys were about to shut down.

Had the quote said "thin" instead of "skinny", I don't think there should have been any problem with it. For lots of people, carrying a lot of fat is more uncomfortable than having to put limits on food consumption. So being thin is a reasonable desire for those with that particular set of priorities.

I'm confused by…

Why did this strike me as so completely hilarious?

The blood test issue also jumped out at me, as I didn't think there was a blood test that definitively ruled out uterine cancer. In the linked article, it says that it was the blood test issue that prompted the judge to rule in Jill Jacobs' favor - I don't get it.

I don't mind relationship selfies, but I do wonder about people whose identities are so tied into their relationships that they use them as their profile pic. And it's just annoying when those same people post things making fun of single people's efforts to meet someone.

I don't mind relationship selfies, but I do wonder about people whose identities are so tied into their relationships that their profile pic on FB is actually of the 2 of them. And it's just annoying when those same people slam single people trying to meet someone.

I think she's amazing and hilarious, and one of the reasons is that she doesn't hold anything back: it's all about the comedy with her. Molly Shannon has my eternal respect and admiration for the same reason. There's nothing funny about nice, mannered and normal.

If you think the comma doesn't change the entire meaning, then you're an idiot. But I already knew that from your other comments.

But if someone uses a system or a machine that automatically creates multiples or anything and they know that that will happen, you wouldn't say that they made only one of those things - they purposefully used a system or machine to create multiples. Your point can only be valid if they were ignorant of how the system…

Now you're responding to sarcasm as though it were literal. They knew when they wrote the sensationalist headline that it would be blasted all over the site because they know how their site works. You are arguing that it was the system that blasted the headline all over their site, not the editors, because they didn't…

Right. Because they don't know how their site works. So when they write a sensationalist headline, they're surprised to see it all over their site. Whatever.

Unlike all the online vigilantes here, I'm not pretending to know for sure what he was trying to say. It could be 2 separate answers to 2 different questions - I have no idea what the questions might have been. What it definitely isn't is a sentence that's literally the equivalent of the "shut up fat girl" that's in…

Yeah, it's weird there's so little diversity in bra sizes. Well, if your sister doesn't already know about Calvin Klein bras (and she probably does if she's been dealing with this for awhile), you can tell her about them - just one size bigger, since they're made small. All the best with making your clothing (and…

I know, I'm sure it must be even more difficult. I guess I'm just trying to say that it's not an uncommon experience for all women, regardless of size. But I'm not trying to suggest that the degree of the problem is the same across the board.

And I wouldn't have thought that my breasts were all that unusual either - I…
