It isn't a creative misspelling, it's just the French version. Which is pretentious but not incorrect.

I want those pink ones.

seriously I just want to know what glute exercises he does.

I'm not a fan of GTA by any means. But the way I see it the difference is that including racial profiling in this manner would mean that the game is harder and presumably less fun for certain players (i.e. black players). It would be like if there was a female PC but if you played her (as more female players…

Do you mean it's a shitshow as in a lot of ugly drama is going down, or it's a shit show as in the show Fashion Police is shit? Or both? Both are pretty accurate.

Are we like, okay with Howard Stern now?

This is how I'm feeling about my bangs right now.

Slightly OT but since they aren't giving us a weekly Empire open thread: did you notice that the dress Cookie was wearing at the beginning of this ep, when she was kissing on Michael, had the colors and abstract patterns of a Klimt painting? And back in an earlier episode there was an exchange between her and Lucious…

That's what I always wonder. Faux for life.

Sometimes it's hard to tell what race someone is, so that aspect might be a lot of work? Otherwise nah.

It was an AU where Bella was in college and Edward was... fuck if I know, he's like 100 in the original series anyway. I don't think anyone in the original fanfic version was underage, but I haven't read it.

Straw poll on heart-shaped sunglasses: tacky in a good or bad way?

She says "as a rape survivor" in the article.

The challenge isn't to read struggling and underappreciated authors, though. There are a lot of super-famous, celebrated authors who aren't white men. Including Murakami.

This is a debate that used to go around in the fanfiction community, and it was pretty widely agreed that it's not cool to describe someone as "too strong to be raped." The implication there is that rape victims and survivors are somehow not strong enough.

I kind of feel like that's a grey area because of how much fic about underage characters is written by underage people. There isn't a legal difference but I do think there's a moral difference.

She seems like an incredibly thoughtful person.

The article says they're denying that they believe that, so I don't think anyone involved is seeing it as other than insanity — and sacrilegious insanity at that .

I think deedledoo meant that someone should give the kids scholarships to college but just referred to it as "school", and tsfxhgoo thought that meant scholarships to k-12 private schools?

It doesn't sound like they're going with that defense, since they're denying having those beliefs at all. (not that this makes it any less fucked up, except from a legal precedent standpoint maybe.)
