Please learn what the first amendment actually is. It bears no resemblance to what you think it is.

Then, maybe reflect on the fact that every single organization, publication and social media site engages in many forms of censorship. The fact that you can't call someone a racial…

My friends still give me grief for getting my cat a kitty abortion (which is basically the same thing as fixing her, except that there are kitten fetuses in the junk they're removing, quite unlike a human abortion which is just fetus removal) out of some irrational love of kittens/belief that this is somehow cruel to…

How is it that actual flavored cream does not seem to exist, if the market for these weird potions is so strong?

Have you tried the crystal thing? They don't work for like a week of continued use, and then I find that they work amazingly. Bone dry.

However, I also found that when I quit using any product, including my beloved crystal, I stopped oversweating in that area completely. Now it's just the same amount of sweat as…

I've never noticed a BO smell on someone whom I would believe to have bathed in the preceding 48 hours. I do, however, notice on a daily basis a dozen or so horrendously overpowering and artificial smelling deodorant stinks wafting off of strangers. I'm by no means allergic or particularly sensitive to smell, but the…

Couldn't think of any weird history I'm aware of in any of my former residences, and now I realize that the office I spend 40 hours a week in used to be a factory full of Irish-Quebecois workers in the 19th century. Terrible shit that would rival any violent murder has probably gone on here..

It's not a stellar performance, and I never said it was at all bad. The point is Liberace could not be expected by anyone to do nearly as well as that. Essentially the point is the Brokeback is the best case scenario for a film with this difficult subject matter, if you can look past your pedantry to the discussion at…

Obviously. Do you think I recited that by rote? I didn't say Brokeback was unsuccessful, but it was not a great success, despite being a very, very buzzworthy film with a $5M advertising campaign (excluded from your budget figure.) So, I really don't know what you think the value of your contribution is.

No way, don't you know that corporations love to put personal discomfort and prejudices above profit margins? This couldn't possibly be because this project would do terribly with a national theater release. Nope, it's cuzza homophobes.

Even Brokeback didn't do thaaaat well, aside from prestige points. It was beat out…

Yes.. that is exactly what they're saying. They are talking about vanity sizing. She is a modern size 6, which absolutely is vanity sizing, but this vanity sizing is the industry standard, and thus many people alive today have zero notion of what true sizes are. Size 12, thus, sounds bigger than it actually is. When…

Nobody tell them that a woman has been *the head of the church*for 125 of the last 180 years. Imagine their horror.

The size refers to how much fabric is there, plain and simple. Someone with a round belly has more volume than someone with a flat belly. There's nothing wrong with that.

The size refers to a set of measurements, which relates (obv) to how much fabric is there, but is not precisely the same thing. A person with a round…

If you're close to 5'5 and between 120-140, and wearing 10-12, then you are not a victim of vanity sizing. That sounds far closer to true sizing than the ludicrous modern vanity sizes.

A peculiar mix of societal nostalgia and our belief that our society is just SO MUCH WORSE, narcissistic, body-shamey and invested in being slender than ever before, mixed with a tiny portion of the population who want to validate curvy or larger body types by quoting that false figure (which they shouldn't have to do…

Yup. It's only the uninformed who think that MM was a modern size 14. She was like, Scarlett Johanssons size.

YES. I like you and the thoughts you have. Excellent parallel for illuminating nonsense. Thank goodness we no longer make men look like little boys.

The distinction probably is useful to many, but Church of England does only refer to the UK in any usage, so the qualifier isn't really necessary. Now, if they'd used "Anglican Church" that would be supremely incorrect and would need further qualifiers.

My thoughts too, wouldn't that just leave the whey protein, though an acidic whey protein? Know what other bajillion dollar industry runs through a lot of whey protein? Protein powder! Those things are expensive repackagings of the same proteins that are in Greek yogurt.

Even if that isn't an answer, the evaporation…

Mary also threw away the entire Royal Collection of garments etc, a huge amount of valuable stuff that is lost to history. This is one reason why Elizabeth I was so clothing crazy. She had a lot of shopping to do! Maybe Mary threw them away because they smelled skanky.

I know, nut bits etc are not good for your skin. I find sugar and salt to feel too harsh, up until they dissolve. Coffee is the best medium for me.
