"I think that....that doesn't matter, you know? How you mean things doesn't matter."

I realize that this is going to be unpopular, but I don't know how many of you have seen how paparazzi treat the celebrities they follow around all day. I know that it's a part of the territory and whatnot, but they say awful shit to not only them, but also their families and the people they're with, in an attempt to

Zero sum games are really hard standards for humans. I've said horrible things in my life and have gone on to still be a pretty decent social justice educator. This type of apology is an excellent example of how to come off sincerely instead of #sorrynotsorry.

Because there is ALWAYS room for two beers, dude...

On the flip side of that, I'm a stay at home dad and when I take the kids out I get asked all the time if it's my time to babysit . Usually by other moms. I hate that.

Agreed. I hate that. I don't babysit my kids, I'm their father.

No, I don't think you should necessarily do "equal" housework. That's why I used the word "equitable." If one partner works more outside the home, it's fair that the other works more in the home. But that should be determined by communication between partners and not archaic ideas of gender roles.

Well, what else is a guy supposed to say after reading this?

Yes, yes, yes! We KNOW it's not all men, guys. It's not even *most* men. We appreciate that most of you are decent human beings, trying hard to overcome the social conditioning that tells you that you are "entitled" to ... well, whatever you want from us really. But while there's one man out there who thinks that way,

my roommate couldn't see why I would get mad when I came home to find our house unlocked and empty

I think this might fly in a frat house or college dorm, but come on. I'm an adult. I can't have slippers sewn to the side of my couch. If you bought the couch new, from an actual store, rather than fishing it out of a dumpster, taking it out of your grandma's attic, or snagging it from a goodwill, this kind of thing

Come on, now. You knew this was too stupid to post yet you did it anyway. Is Lifehacker holding a gun to your head and forcing you to put out utterly ridiculous crap just to fill up space? The audience couldn't know that a story was supposed to be here but isn't, had everyone over there agreed to do the right thing

I suppose I could make couch caddies out of the skins of drifters I lure into my car, but that doesn't mean it's a good idea, either.

Perfect for my

Why buy a couch? At that price, just buy 500 pairs of slippers and stack them in a couch shape. Don't buy cups either. I'm sure the slippers could hold liquid and double as drinkware.

NO!! Do not do this. Just Don't. Just NO. This is not design - it is not crafty or creative. This looks like organized hoarding. have some dignity.

Well they must love their sons. Their daughters? Not so much.

Careful, the lack of. . .

Anthony Bourdain has a great oral essay on this in his stage show. It's based on the concept of "Food is important", and therefore seems to get at the root why he 'hates' (but doesn't actually) vegetarians. His show is more about civilizations, cultures, and the people that are within. The first thing he realized
