I don’t understand the impulse to wish a bad person specific harm and suffering. I can appreciate the argument that we would all be better off without DT around, but the idea of his suffering bringing his enemies (us) joy is ugly and probably harms us even more. We (rightfully) call out this kind of hyperbole on the…

I’m going to need to know which ‘cold states’... I’ll accept North Dakota and Montana... I’m in the Canadian prairies and I think heated seats and steering wheels should be mandatory. Without it you end up warming up the car for twice as long just to make the drive to work tolerable.

I’m sad that it took a CBC article to kill this suit though. What if it went forward? I really hope Canadian courts would do the right thing here. Even just on a freedom of speech grounds.

I kept waiting for the part of the CBC article where a lawyer says “And this is batshit so will be thrown out immediately” but the real quote is chilling. “It’s too early to know what will happen but... Lawyers will be watching closely.” Wtf?

Aritzia has 2 great styles that I’ve had for years. I used to keep one balled up in a drawer at work for emergency professionalism (no wrinkles!)

HA absorbs a lot of water. In normal or humid climates it absorbs that water from the air and deposits it in your skin. In really dry climates it *can* take the water out of your deeper skin layers, bring it to the surface where it evaporates and dry you out even more. Ive had better luck when it’s an ingredient with…

I think you might be overstating Rich’s point? I didn’t read this as a blanket pass for the assholes featured on the account. More like a call for some nuance (although even a small group of friends outside should be masked of course!) and appreciation of the limits of public shaming on social media. Plus just the…

I’m so sorry! This is hard but ... Really think about what you’re signing up for? I went through something similar when my fiance and would debate feminism. The conclusion I came to is that you have to be able to respect the *way* they form their conclusions and the *way* they engage with you when you disagree. I…

Just watched this for the first time and was pleasantly surprised! I had heard it was terrible but it had a shocking number of relatable moments. Also a lot of BS tropes... But lots of moments that I don’t really see on tv but feel real. Overall a strong step above the Hallmark crowd. 

My husband referred to himself as ‘uppity’ the other day and we had to have a chat... He meant energized and I’m *so so* glad it happened in private so I could point it out. It stuck in his mind somehow without context and now he’s super nervous that he’ll say it again without thinking since it’s still filed away in…

Thank you! 

One difference between the examples is simply the artist’s intent. Chloe and Rihanna were careless while a deliberate and thoughtful critique of religion (or hell, at least intentional) would fall more into the realm of fair use in my mind. In this case I’m with Shannon - don’t use someone else’s culture (including…

So many mistakes to choose from! The time I messed up farhenheight and celsius when cooking my first Thanksgiving turkey? The time I bought a brisket to feed four people but didn’t realize 15 pounds was ... A bit much?

Hey- can you clarify something? Did NPR and Driver have an agreement beforehand? It seems implied that the headphones-off compromise was agreed upon but was somehow insufficient in the moment. Has Driver said why he walked away?
