You don’t have a clue about history. There was a time when fat equaled wealth. Much of the time you describe people were often undernourished. People starved to death during the great depression. Did you ever think the people you are talking about don’t have money for extra food?

Eh, so far in my Master of Public Health program, I’ve basically just learned about how bad things are for me, without actually trying to/being able to avoid them:

When reached for comment, the Capulets answered “How now! who calls?” but hung up right away.

I’d just like to inform everyone that I am still drinking vodka and it is 2:08 am here in Dubai and I’m probably going to order some pizza. While I’m in a drunken state of confession, let it be noted for the record that I sometimes just go pee right in the sink. The logic of it is infallible. My favorite book?…

Zach Braff looks like the freshly kneaded dough version of David Duchovny.

I don’t feel qualified to judge Madonna’s parenting style, but I will say that having a co-parent who is rigid and authoritarian rather than authoritative sucks. They push the kids away by acting like that, and then blame them for not being super into spending time with them. Parents like that also don’t make…

These are all pictures of the Goblin King

The iPhone is one thing, but the crazy diet really isn’t good. For one there’s so many cases where that sort of intense food control turns out to be really mentally unhealthy. For another, banning all fun/unhealthy food isn’t actually teaching your kids about moderation and making good choices.

Don’t worry, Rocco, just wait until you’re 24 and you can lie in bed on a Sunday morning, eating three different types of cake for breakfast and resenting the fucked up relationship with food you have as a result of your mother’s crazy diet restrictions. Or something.

“and there is 99% chance these “belgians” are named Ahmed or something like that.”

Same as last year: make it to the end of a pay period with $40 cash in my wallet and a full tank of gas on my car.

Hey Jezzies, whatcha drinking? I’ve got a Lagunita’s Lil Sumpin’ Sumpin’ Ale. Hoppier than I normally like, but I’m enjoying it anyway.

What I don’t understand is why the initial promo shots are always the ugliest, weirdest, most awkward photos ever? Who is their headshot guy? Is it someone at ABC’s cousin that they promised their deceased aunt that they’d always “take care of”?? And if so, why hasn’t said cousin become better at photography over the…

A) Because she felt like it. Because seeing people praise the person who raped you fucking hurts, and if it happens enough times, you may hit a breaking point where you can’t stand not speaking out any longer. I don’t see what’s “generic” about that. I also don’t think she stated what happened to her particularly…

It’s very, very awkward growing out an asymmetrical, short haircut. You do all kinds of things to try and mask that awkwardness. Looks like she went bobby pin route there. I am in the “strategically styling long pieces over short” phase.

In an ideal world, cultural appropriation would only be called out if it was someone who expressed something racist or discriminatory about another culture.

I dunno, it’s kind of cathartic, honestly. At least for some of us.

Yeah, painful. Makes me feel a bit better knowing I'm not the only one, and that other people had parents that didn't match those shiny scripted people we saw on TV.

I haven’t a clue if anyone is going to see this since I’m grey forever. I cannot read this thread. My mother has put me in my place/ knocked me down a peg since I can remember. I was never cute/ladylike/pretty/thin enough for her. I was a perennial embarrassment to her. No matter what I did or achieved it wasn’t…
