Me, too. I feel old because they are so young and hip. Their shorts are so high-waisted, their hemlines so short. But they're also so 90s that I feel like they really get me. I sent my mother a link to the video for "Falling" because the 1970s version of herself dressed just like they do in that video.

We definitely don't have competitive parenting like they do in the USA. I visit America often and find that there's a lot of mom-shaming there, too, which I don't have to deal with at home. I think in America people think they're the first parents ever and buy into all of these fad parenting trends because of the…
Well maybe you should actually go ahead and read the article where he used a slur to describe his "preferences" and find out? I mean, this is the age of the internet. You're on the internet. It will take you all of 30 seconds to track down the original article.
$30K on kindergarten?!!! What?! I just don't understand. I'm in Europe and that shit is free, but that reminds me that when I was pregnant, someone gave me a pregnancy book from America and it had all of this hilarious advice in it like, "Talk to your doctor about banking your child's cord blood." Or, "Put your child…
My parents started talking to me about college early, which I think was a good idea because nobody in our family had gone and they wanted better for me. They needed to start talking about it early because our family was outside of that middle class culture where going to college is the obvious next step after…
So using the n-word to describe your "preferences" is not racist? Yeah....Let's just never have a conversation again because you're the kind of person I like to avoid.
Exactly. Wonder Bread. Mayer = Sexist, racist Wonder Bread.
That he sells albums and tickets is a sign of the fact that he is relevant (at least as far as pop culture), not an answer for why, which is what the OP (and a lot of us) wonder. To explain his relevance, we must assume that the average consumer likes music that is simplistic, bland, non-threatening to the status quo…
Your opinion completely convinced me to change my own—Not.
lol. It's hard to see how someone who does and says racist shit could be called a racist?
I'm with you on this one. Mayer could have been great (maybe), but chose to be commercial. He made his bed and now he can lie in it.
The paper is about teacher bias, not stereotype threat: "In this paper, we estimate the effect of primary school teachers' gender biases on boys' and girls' academic achievements during middle and high school and on the choice of advanced level courses in math and sciences during high school. For identification, we…
They didn't check a box to indicate their gender. One examiner knew their names, the other did not. This isn't about stereotype threat. It's just about stereotypes.
No, that's a pretty racist thing to say: http://yoisthisracist.com/post/135822185…
Yeah, that classic objectifying women by comparing them to dolls schtick is creepy, too.
He's a racist who is on-and-off boinking a celebrity named Katy Perry.
Mayer is the douchiest of the douches. Has he taken home a Wacky award yet? He's a shoe-in.
I try to avoid listening to Tori Amos when there's work to do because I will fall into the rabbit hole and do nothing else but listen, emerge several days later hungry, smelly and disoriented with no idea about where the time went.
Tori Amos is probably the only musician I ever went full-on fan-girl about. Other musicians I appreciate, enjoy, but I never get as obsessed as I do with her stuff. On days when I can't stand the area where I live, I console myself with the thought that she owns a house nearby and occasionally writes music there. I…
