I have recently had a similar psychological experience and spent major time researching skin care. Your regimen looks good to me! One thing I learned (I read someone’s PhD thesis that was posted online) is that mixing retinoids and AHAs decreases their effectiveness. Your Paula’s Choice is an AHA and your Neutrogena…

Maybe she thought it was a really bad likeness as well but made an offering anyway.

My father who believes everything said by the Chinese Communist Party really likes Michael Bay’s Transformer movies. He believed that the US and Chinese government are working in a project to create these “robots”, oblivious to the whole plot of the movie that the robots are alien lifeform.

No mistakes were made. She knew exactly who she was praying to. Gaming and the love for it has no age limits.

Maybe she has poor eyesight? And, she may have no reason to believe that a giant figure like this of anyone else.

I’m one of Steve’s studio mates. Posing for reference for this book is always really funny. Steve: “ok, now turn more toward me and pretend to fuck this shoe.”

Those kicks in the top gif look as bad as Scarlett Johansson’s attempted fight scenes. Why do the fights featuring women in the movies look so generally bad compared to what happens on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.? It’s bizarre to me.

I still don’t know who the hell America Chavez is, or what book she’s in. I keep mixing her up with American Kaiju:

This would be horribly, horribly misleading, and would likely just lead to more confusion (and lawsuits, if this were in America). No two human beings have the same metabolic rates, and there is absolutely no way to say with confidence how long it would take for an individual to burn x calories in y time.

Hahaha, “A.O.T. Wings of Freedom” is the title?

I’m not going to support a legal regime built on faulty data and exaggerated claims, no. Especially not since it’s opposed by the sex workers themselves, and there’s a big history of exaggerated claims here being used to justify oppression of lower-class and immigrant women (we had a similar wave of this kind of thing…

I had Bluetooth until I got this.

I work one on one with clients, which means I can’t smell like ass and B.O. Instead of skipping showers to avoid drying out your skin, just use gentle soap and some goddamn moisturizer and don't take 35 minute scalding hot showers.

Where’s the sourcing on that 85% figure? The Swedish police have outright admitted that getting figures on trafficking are extremely difficult, and one of the biggest studies claiming trafficking tied to legalization of sex work in Germany outright made up many of their sourcing and statistics on trafficking.

I don’t have Dominos often, but every time I do, I think it’s a lot better than I remembered it being the last time. You could do worse, I guess.

Maybe they could follow the Cambodian model: “rescue” voluntary sex workers along with the actual trafficking victims and forcing them into in government sanctioned sweatshops making clothes for Western labels. (“WE get to decide what your labour is worth and how you do it, not you.”)

Yeah, but ironic racism can still actually be racist - it doesn’t matter what you were going for. Sure, some Chinese folks and many self aware white people might find it funny. But so far, from social media - Chinese people don’t like it. It can come from a genuine place or a non-racist place and still be racist in…

Eh, I found it was not economical to have a child in order to save $30/mo 18 years into the future.

This is a very good point (and thanks for the lively conversation). And I’m sympathetic to the idea that its hard-to-impossible to please an entire fan base, especially if you’ve got a mandate to make the book accessible.

Way to copy a Mythbusters episode.
