Someone mentioned it in the comments below, but I think it worth repeating. There should be a mandatory seminar given to high school kids about the reach and dangers of the internet era. I have the impression that many kids are terribly computer illiterate, even though they are practically swimming in technology. The…

Yes, I agree with you to a certain extent, but kids should also learn how to communicate through the appropriate channels depending on the situation. I worked for an IT company, where it was strictly forbidden to talk/post anything work related in Facebook or Twitter. There was a lot of info (upcoming projects,…

OMG... how do you do this?! I MUST try this...

Nobody is telling to her to shut up, obviously her experience is relevant too; however, maybe she should stop for a second and think and consider other points of view before saying stuff like: "Nope. I literally couldn't give a shit about it.

This is what baffles me about this argument: Dunham et al talk about minority characters as if their experiences might differ greatly from what is "normal" (translation: white). Basically she is saying: "I am white and I don't know how to write a black or latino character". Why? It is almost as if she is talking about…

Why exactly?

Oh Brizon, I feel you... my boyfriend is farm boy that grew up with his dad, basically running the farm by themselves. They were their own bosses, and lived under their own rules. Then he went to college, grad school, and office jobs and boy... he just can't fit it. He is brilliant at his job but he just can't stand…

I swear to God, the first time I saw one of those I thought it was a grocery shopping bag. My mom and my aunt have some knock offs that they use to carry fruit and produce when they go shopping at the farmer's market. They are so bland, ugly and amorphous. Plus, I need to carry my laptop around and there is no way…

Well, to be honest with you, I don't even see why these two things should go hand in hand in the first place. He is one the best filmmakers of all time - a genius. He is also a living POS who should face the music and hopefully rot in jail. For me that is very clear, so I really don't understand the whole debate.…

Hey there voice of reason! You have been sorely missed in these comments!

You are awesome. That's all.

I am a freelancer so I work from home a lot, mostly in my PJs or sweatpants. However, it takes no time at all to put on some real clothes to go to the grocery store. It takes me about 4 min. to: put on a pair of jeans, a t shirt, a blazer, my flats, and a ponytail. Nothing fancy, no make up, no jewelry - just jeans, a…

I see your point and I agree, but men are definitely subjected to modesty rules as well. Many churches and temples will not allow any men wearing shorts, sweatpants or a wife beater. It is totally unacceptable for men to walk into a restaurant without a shirt and expect to be served, etc.

Well, I am Mexican, but for some reason people think I am French (gosh, I even get a "Merci" every now and then.. WTF?!) Anyway, you should see the shock in people's faces when I mention that I am Mexican.

But ask yourself a question.. why are they curious? Isn't it because looking a certain way and claiming to be American is seen as some sort of contradiction? The whole reasoning behind the question is:

Spot on! Well done...

Ugh, for how much it costs, it looks so goddamn tacky. Like that green thing in the pics? Who the hell wants to buy dyed fur in green? Awful.

I think this is spot on - totally agree with you. Thank you for expressing it so clearly.

UGH! Yes! Both my parents are retired, so of course I am going to ask them for money to buy me an iPad or to pay for my plane ticket to London! F**k their life savings!

Look, I get what you are saying, I really really do. My mom has always been big. Big and healthy. She is one of the strongest, healthiest people I know. I turned out to be more like my father, pretty slim and petite. When people meet my mom, they often give her this nasty look, like saying: "damn… she really has let…
