The kosher Jews I know - including those who keep separate sinks and the whole deal - will eat halal meat. That doesn't mean there might not be some (like you) who are stricter about it, but my experience has been that Jews believe halal meets the requirements.

I thought to prevent wrinkles you were not supposed to move your face. Like don't smile or make too many expressions, sleep on satin pillows, don't use straws. This seems like the opposite.

I wouldn't call my fiance my best friend. I'm trying to tease out the difference though. He's definitely in like the top three people I would call if I needed support or advice (along with Dad and sister). And I like spending lots and lots of time with him.

I'm a feminist, but I'm not a perfect one. There are behaviors I engage in and things I believe in or want or like or prejudge that are PROBLEMATIC. My partner is a feminist too, but it doesn't mean he's totally devoid of his own less-than-feminist problematic stuff either.

See, and I think that story is cute. Or at least could be cute. It's awkward if the bride groom are still trying to have their romantic dance and now no one is paying attention to them. But, if that were my wedding, my fiance and I would probably pull the kids over and have a four-way dance for a few moments and then…

Am I the only one that actively WANT kids at my wedding? My cousin' adorable blonde 5-yr-old (by then) would be the cutest flower girl. I want to have a bunch of little 'un's bopping around on the dance floor and playing lawn games.

I dislike the idea that maintenance sex is just this indulging/milking/sexing the other person in a sort of disengaged "this is ok with me" way. When I have "maintenance sex," I'm still every engaged in it.

My cousin began to have seasonal and other allergies after giving birth to her first child. She never had any allergies before - it all changed in pregnancy. I hadn't heard of that before, but her doctor explained that it's common, so it seems well known that hormones and allergies can be linked.

You make a good point. On one hand, I agree with you that there's no real need for BSDM to seek validation from the mainstream - so why should we care? But, on the other hand, people do lose jobs or custody because of their interest in BDSM or find themselves living double-lives. So, I don't think it's purely about…

I agree that it's silly to talk about BDSM like it's an equivalent human right issue, but I do think the analogy to homophobia still stands. Like, plenty of people still think gay sex is "icky." But you'd think a straight actor making a movie where he plays a gay person would try to gain some understanding of the…

I haven't been sexually harassed, but I did get sort-of-the-opposite Dad-type "You seem like a good girl - not like the last who rented here" sex-shamey vibe from a landlord.

I recently joined Equinox and it's very expensive but so far I'm finding it worth the money because I'm just SO much more likely to go. I find myself going to the gym just so I can take an amazing long, hot shower with Kiehl's products. I look forward to it all day! And it's always easy to get a machine, even at peak…

I've never heard of a purple cat.

I remember loving Scarlett Johansson in the early days because and she had this little tummy pouch, but was still so captivating and beautiful. Like in Ghostworld. But the tummy disappeared when she became a megastar. And I was sad.

I discovered "bae" means "baby" (I think it's like "boo" back in my day) but: is that picture an insult to Rihanna somehow? I don't get why.

Please explain Taco Bae to me. I am an old.

I object to the idea that the hashtag is only to educate white people. I've seen plenty of people of color on Facebook and other places say things like "If you just shut up and do what the police tell you, nothing will happen." They don't realize that they've either been lucky or that they have other sorts of…

#crimingwhilewhite isn't really meant for the people who already know how the world works. It's in response to the people who do not believe that different races are treated differently by the police and believe things like "Well, it's sad, but if only Eric Gardner hadn't resisted arrest." I absolutely want the…

Am I being reasonable or am I missing something? It reads to me that they're only restricting these acts just for sites that don't ensure that no one under 18 can access them. So, put a "Are you over 18?" button and your site and you're good. No?

I'm a NYer went to Cincinnati on business once and ate this and found it delicious... not sure what that says about me. I wouldn't want to eat it everyday, but I get it.
