I might have thought this a bit more odd in 2012, at the time of your post, than I do now in 2018. See, I myself know there is a timeline in which a friend of my uncle’s died on a certain date, and another timeline where this same man died over 6 months later. This is not the only discrepancy, but one where I can…

I just wish people would stop insulting the good name of clowns this way. Of course I can’t think of much of anything that wouldn’t be insulted by a comparison to him.

But it also wasn't particularly true until very recently. I mean the "can't be too thin" part. Even though Twiggy existed in the 1960's, real-life girls back then absolutely could be too thin. And I remember being a teen in the 80's, where thin was coming in, but still not as in as it is now. And if you were in a lot…

Crap. The top one looks like Roberto Cavalli, and the middle one reminds me of a Priest I sometimes saw at catechism as a kid. And the 3rd guy's eyes are just creeping me out.

Nobody on this planet believes I weigh over 150, except at the doctor's office. (And my mom, because we live together and often weigh ourselves one after the other.)

I saw a Pagliacci on PBS once years ago where Pavarotti's Canio was thin compared to other men in the opera, but Nedda was still a super-hot slim babe (I think Teresa Stratas?) and at first I was just, wow, I am not having this, but of course they all were good, and of course I listened to it all. I just had to wonder…

Aren't people basically saying that, ideally, one should be able to feel comfortable reporting the crime to both the school and the police- but in the non-ideal real world, it is often easier to report to the school than to the police, because while both institutions can have poor attitudes, the attitude of police…

I remember being that size.

To some extent, this is somewhat how I interpret it- that she is objecting to the location, not the sex itself- but I also think he should have respected this and let her decide where to do it.

And believe me, I never complain about my clown prostitutes wearing too much makeup. It definitely enhances the comedic sexual experience.

She may not be the prettiest girl, but she's still above average. She just doesn't look great with the makeup, which unfortunately is a necessity.

Nah. the post would have to take a selfie to be crying for help. ;)

What's funny about this too, is I know when I'd get my school pictures back from, say 8th grade on, I'd find that any large zit, too big and red to fully cover with makeup, I inevitably got for picture day had magically disappeared. Without myself or my parents ever saying a thing. It was just a thing that was done,…

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I almost forgot about RAW since the only thing I ever shot at all professionally (ages ago helping out my dad) was video, not stills, and I don't have a pro level camera that uses RAW myself because of the big bucks involved!

I assume she meant brightening the whites of the eyes, not changing her eye color. That is very very standard, and has been for at least decades if not longer.

Yeah, and that's the kind of thing I wish they would spend it on, but overall, businesses make much worse decisions than this one every day.

I always feel kind of two ways or more about "this money could have been put to better use" arguments.

I had a photography professor who once complained all about how Ansel Adams shouldn't have removed powerlines and other modern things from his images because it's not "real" and what not.

As an artist who took "selfies" way before the word existed, for most of the reasons you mention, I applaud you.

Thank you. I take pictures of a particular tree in my back yard every change of season and lots of other times. Just because I like it. It's no "milestone" for the tree or myself. And even though I am an artist, these pics aren't always supposed to be art, either. They're just pictures- pictures that I want to take.
