Yep. The tiny house thing is very cool, and a really great option ... for SOME people with very specific circumstances. It’s not a solution for our country’s housing woes. There is a systemic problem here that needs to be dealt with.

I will take literally any excuse to eat more carbs, so Japanese potatoes it is!

Of course you should, if you have a solid business model and contingency plans. The key is to not treat your employees like shit while claiming girl power and camaraderie. An employee that feels respected and valued will work harder and be more loyal. Remember that and you won’t end up like Sophia Amoruso and Sheree…

No you should, the lesson is to not exploit or undervalue anyone who helps you get closer to realizing your vision.

I actually have hope that his personal brand is sufficiently tied to respecting women IRL that this stuff destroys him. Getting dumped by Kink is pretty big.

I don’t think the article is commenting on sex workers any more than articles condemning Walmart are commenting on Walmart employees. If we treat working for a crappy employer as a source of personal shame, then labor’s screwed forever.

Nope, she didn’t draw it.

If you think that there aren’t 45 year old men listening to Green Day and eating hotdogs and ramen, then I envy your optimism about the human condition.

Well, since she’s the one who’d be getting the abortion, it’s really her personal beliefs that matter in this situation, not yours, isn’t it?

I told my supervisor at the Playboy Club what he did to me, and you know what she said to me? She said: ‘You do know that that’s Hefner’s best friend, right?’ I said, ‘Yes.’ She says to me: ‘Nobody’s going to believe you. I suggest you shut your mouth.’

The main worst part about this is ascribing arbitrary meaning to an invented term (“fuckgirl”) based on a term she and most of the internet apparently doesn’t understand (“fuckboy”) that has been has been divorced from its origins (AAVE, specifically black rap culture) and warped into some catchall phrase for…

When I was living in North Portland, we had some girls from Norway who lived next door. They wanted to get their blonde hair done BUT in the right Nordic shade- not the buttery yellows that is favored in USA. They wound up going to a Black hair salon because the ladies understood EXACTLY how to tone the hair AND how…

That’s what it all really comes down to, for me anyway. If the WORST thing that happens to you is that something makes you annoyed or uncomfortable, then you’re probably doing just *fine*. The worst thing to happen to these diners was that it took five minutes longer for their shrimp cocktail to arrive.

“Sometimes people need to be uncomfortable”

My honest answer is, I don’t know. I had a lot of great girlfriends, romantic and platonic, and it was by learning from them that gave me a vastly different understanding than the one I got growing up in a military family with older brothers. I’d say, for men, surround yourself with strong women friends and take what…

It probably hasn't occurred to you, but my guess is he has chosen this "everyman can't afford a good tailor" wardrobe on purpose.

P.S. As other commenters mentioned, "Caucasian" does not mean "lily-white people." For example, people of Middle Eastern descent—many of whom have olive skin—are technically Caucasian. So the wording of the casting call wasn't that out-of-line.

@bride of funkenstein: AA may have some basics in large sizes, but other styles are not available and Flores was still told she's not their demograpic. Forever 21 has a plus size line, Faith 21. Hot Topic has a plus size line, Torrid. Alloy, a juniors brand, goes up to size 20. So plus size IS and CAN BE the demo for …
