one of my roommates friends is very stereotypically "hipster" (ugh)... lots of tats/piercings, pretty liberal worldview, etc. Nevertheless, he argued for like, a long time about how he's allowed to use the n-word because he's from Detroit (?!).

I do not get hipster racists(not that I get any kind of racist, but ironic racism that is actually just racist is weird). I keep reading about it on the internet, but most people would definitely call the bulk of my social group hipsters and I have never heard one say some shit like that. I absolutely believe it is a…

Great observations, but I'd add one thing...the Suburban racists try to disguise their racism as classism in the North. They frequently use codes like "Section-8", "Welfare" "Food Stamps" instead of black/brown. They say these things, specifically leaving race out of it, but the implicit meaning is that Section 8…

Thank you for being polite and thoughtful in response. Sorry, that sounds like damning with faint praise, but criticism is such a tricky thing on the internet, and I just wanted to let you know it's appreciated.

Is it just me or has Ron Livingston not aged a day since Office Space?

Olivia Wilde's face. Sploosh.

Well, no, obviously, there's nothing wrong with liking oral sex. But your statement was that you wouldn't trust who didn't like it, which... not so much. It's a preference. If you love giving oral sex, a partner who doesn't enjoy receiving it is clearly not an ideal match for you. But that's a compatibility issue. It…

I'm glad someone has finally made a romantic comedy about four white thirty-somethings who are just tryin' to figure it all out, one mistake at a time.

You might be wrong is a troll, I wouldn't spend too much time trying to change his mind.

As recovering a female alcoholic (7+ months sober, yay!) in her 30s, I have a huge number of thoughts about this. I have done the gamut— detox, rehab, AA and alternative programs. First, neither this blog post nor the original blog post do justice to AA. It is not for everyone, but it is an amazingly supportive, 100%…

my question is why haven't evolutionary psychologists tackled the question of why evolutionary psychologists perform evolutionary psychology when it doesn't relate directly to the production of babies? DROP YOUR CLIPBOARDS, NERDS... YOU NEED TO START COPULATING.

Mind not blown by notion that oral sex can = bonding which can = staying together longer/happy partnership/etc. Seems like the purpose of performing oral sex on a male might serve the same purpose.

I've always hated Paula Deen because of her clearly overacted accent and her SEVERE case of crazy eyes, so this scandal is full of delicious, buttery schadenfreude to me.

White privilege is when the thing in your life that you're most outraged about is that a lady isn't on the teevee anymore.

UNREPENTANT FART MACHINE

So, what you're telling me is that Zimmerman is going to get away with his crime.

Am I the only person who thinks it would be helpful to stop defining racial boundaries in terms of clothing and dance moves and fingernails? Saying "these clothes are for black people," "these dance moves are for black people," "this manicure is for black people" is far more cringe-inducing than a pop star with bad…

One of my favorite things growing up was a "Fluffernutter Sandwich". Basically, bread, peanut butter, and Fluff.

"Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I'm just a caveman... Your world frightens and confuses me. When I see your self-propelling autocars, sometimes I just want to throw spears at them. I'm more at home hunting the woolly mammoth than I am hunting a good interior decorator. And when I see a solar eclipse, like the one I…

Am I the only one here who assumed when he said "sham of a marriage" he was referring to the fact that they were treating it like some kind of fucking fundraiser??
