Just a general PSA that the smell of smoke will not wake you up from sleeping. A lot of people think that they’ll be able to wake up if there is ever a fire in their house in the middle of the night, but the opposite is actually true. Smoke inhalation will deepen your sleep. Your best defense against fire is a working…

Hey, not every movie can be Crash.

No. Just, no. She’s not being smacked down because she’s a “pretty white girl.” No one here is “jealous.” She’s being smacked down because she was being an abusive piece of shit who violated the privacy of an old woman and got caught. This was no “momentary lapse in judgement.” This was being an entitled asshole with…

It would seem to be a simple matter for them to ban users whom screenshots catch doing that. Their policy already prevents harassment. They also have a real names policy that would prevent fake user accounts, although obviously in practice that wouldn’t work very well. And yet... these simple, cut-and-dried violations…

RealSelf is nuts!! Some of the photos from women who are obsessed with needing a bigger butt or a smaller nose look insane. I remember seeing one gal who went from an apple shape to a crazy exagerrated pear shape because she wanted a big booty, and you could tell she didn’t really make a lot of money (based on her…

I get you- I don’t agree with you even the tiniest little bit here, but I get you. The difference with Mulan is that it really only has two great songs, and they are vital to providing motivation and advancing the plot. Reflections is her admitting the dead end her life is and showing how her family deals with it, all…

I like most Disney soundtracks but agree that The Jungle Book is a particularly good one. “I Want To Be Like You” is a treasure.

The one Disney soundtrack I really like is The Jungle Book. Mary Poppins also has some good songs, but most Disney music I find pretty annoying. The older songs were more like operetta, telling a chunk of the story in song, but now they mostly seem to stop the action, and sound like something that resulted from a…

I think he did the military bit to shore up his image as a result of that Nazi thing, I really do. Kill a few Afghans, and all is forgiven.

All the Brits who get pissed off at the Royal Family confuse me. Sure, the Monarchy is stupid, but all they are now are figureheads and tourist attractions. Guess what? A lot of people come to England not because of the well-known cuisine, but because they want to visit where the royalty lives. My Mom will buy…

Life imitates art.

Very true all around regarding the availability and location of resources. There is another element often unsaid : when the coal mines were operating, they often received lucrative local and state tax credits per ton mined.

^ THIS.

One of the most reasonable and informed statements on the internet today.

Why not promote retraining instead of “brining back” ?

B/C that doesn’t get their votes.

I’m 26k in debt and this just broke my fucking heart.

I hate knowing now that someone as useless as Scott Disick can afford to pay $50K/week for a rental home.

I work for an advocacy organization. We all went to the march, with our friends and our families.

Yeah, that’ll make the first-time marchers feel great. Can we stop picking at people who gave enough of a shit to come out and march in January, and then tell them it isn’t good enough? I think all women need to be respectful of the new-to-protest women who are now galvanized. Coming together on commonalities and…

What’s with these purity tests that people on the left require of one another?

Of course it’s Tiffany’s box.

Proud of my senator today <3
