Just put an aspirin between your knees, you hussy. Problem solved.

Fun fact: Abortion is 100% illegal in El Salvador. Not even for the health of the mother or the baby or in the case of rape and incest.

On the rare occasions that I eat red meat, I try to stick with bison for that same reason. One can’t stuff a hundred baby bison into a box and feed them until they are grown, so I can at least trust that the bison got to live on real grass before being slaughtered.

Lambs are more likely to be raised humanely than pigs, chickens, cows, etc., if that makes you feel better!

Yeah, I understand what you’re saying - she’s clearly gone to great lengths to change her body and appearance, and my guess is that some or all of it is motivated by how callously and meanly her looks/weight were discussed by the public and the probably constant reminders that she was “uglier” and “fatter.” I think…

Even way back “in the day”, not every person was slaughtering their own meat. Chickens, likely, because they’re small and easy to raise/kill, but not everyone was raising and killing their own cows.

I think the standard logic against casting an Aborginal woman in Furiosa’s role would be to say you can’t get a film financed with all unknowns or not enough “stars,” (who are, by and large, are white.) But it’s a catch 22 because how are you ever going to have more big name stars who are non white if we’re not…

My favorite example of this was “He’s just not that into you,” which was set in freaking Baltimore (!!!) and featured an all-white cast. Had those producers never seen the Wire? For the love of God.

“The films that are being made, are the big-time producers thinking outside of the box in terms of how to cast the role?,” she asked. She added that producers should ask themselves, “Can you cast a black woman in that role? Can you cast a black man in that role?”

Possible? Probable is more like it.

Also, to be blunt: if you desperately value privacy, maybe move out to the burbs, cut your living expenses in half, and go solo. Urban life really doesn’t mesh with introversion.

I’m up with you until Clinton and Sanders. In my mind, flip the two:

Non-broiler chickens take 4-6 months to reach an acceptable eating size, so it doesn’t surprise me to learn that early cultures weren’t raising them in large enough numbers to make them a staple food source. Far better to let your hens live and produce ~5 eggs/week each for years than to kill them young for a single…

I think we get a little tangled because not every woman who got laid was being tacitly coerced. The advent of the pill and youth culture contributed to lots of women taking the opportunity to explore their own sexual agency. There’s a trend now to discount the idea that women were making their own decisions in that…

Cheese would never do that to me.

This is the best thing you’ve ever written.

Whatever, I live in southern california, I’ll get my e-coli and samonella from actual mexican food, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

Ikea life isn’t measured in years, it is measured in the number of times the piece has been moved. Everything holds together just fine while stationary. It is the move process that turns it into chincy garbage.

Yeah man, totally. Getting taken to the Antiques shop by mom is definitely the same as having an IED go off next to you.
