No problem, it might be nice to do a post for people to share favorite jokes/roles in light of this statement at some point.

Well, that thinking is precisely why I put the question to you all. Brown on Brown cultural appropriation is not as cut and dry, to me anyway, as White on Brown cultural appropriation. This is why I wanted to talk about it, because the images gave me pause. As for the oppression comparison, I hope we can all agree…

Yeah, I'm inclined to agree. Love RiRi, but this is not okay, for both of the reasons you articulated. And given the rate of sexual assault for Native American women in general, this makes me really uncomfortable.

Either she was taking advantage of you (who does that to a friend??) or she was engaged in money laundering, which is worse. With the draconian laws of the US, you could have been charged with a felony if that was drug money. People have gone to prison because a "friend" left a suitcase of cash at their house. …

I was a dense kid so it wasn't until my mom's mom died that I realized that moms could die. I think I was 4 or something. It was Easter time and I asked if she was going to come out of the tomb like Jesus IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FUNERAL. Because that's exactly what a grieving family needs to hear from the little ones.

Don't all bikinis look like bras and panties? Maybe it's because I'm a big enough cup size that I buy my swimsuit from the same place that manufactures my bras, but there's no real difference in coverage.

My girlfriend and I live in Lake Tahoe. Like a lot of people who live in beautiful places, we pay a fucking premium to rent abject shitholes, which are also drafty. In January of last year, during a snowstorm, my landlord informs me that she'll be 'renovating' my shithole of a place and that I have 29 days to get out…

I bought a 1990 Nissan 240SX for $1500. Two years later, some guy ran a stop sign and hit me and his insurance totaled it out for $3000 and gave me asalvage title. A year after that, the car got stolen and my insurance gave me $2500 for it. Then, after it was recovered by the police, I got an extra $500 for some car…

NO ONE gets away with a Navajo-blanket poncho who is not a Navajo.

I can't wait for all the people who comment about how SHOCKED they are that the people who make their food are frequently sick. I can't tell you how many times I've worked with people who should NOT be at work but they can't afford to take a day off, or another call-out would get them a write up. Where I work they…

And before people start computer-splaining about how these companies use an automated system to deal with reports, you can hold your breath. We already know. That system is fucked up. If companies like Facebook can manage to come up with software that knows to spam you with ads for baby clothes right at the time you…

Is she really that popular, because I've never heard of herbivore.

Having two young children myself, I NEVER leave them alone I the car, even if it's at the gas station that only accepts cash. They come with me. If I was to see a child in a car alone, hot or cold out, I'd take action. Why? Because every second counts. Knowing police response time in my area, I'm sure it would still…

That is a good catch.

What we're missing here is how utterly inattentive the mother was. The glass on the ground from where they broke through the window is in a parking space RIGHT in front of the shop, but behind a brick column. So, these onlookers had time to notice her kids, circle her car, find a hammer, open a window, climb inside,…

Usually, I'm against interfering in other people's child rearing or pet care, but I think it's probably not a bad idea to make a casual habit of glancing into cars as you walk across your office or supermarket parking lot. Actually, being more aware of one's surroundings in general is a fabulous idea. Let's quit…

Can we just go with "never?" It is NEVER ok to leave children or animals locked in a hot car. COME ON, people. This is Texas. Heat indexes are expected to reach 105 today, you could bake cookies on the windshield of your car. And it's just gonna stay this way until October. We ALL know this. We go through this EVERY…

I ran into her once on a field trip and a chaperone asked if we could take a picture with her and she was like, "Nah." and THEN she cut me in line at the gift shop. Her daughter was like, "Mom, you can't just cut the line." and then SW went to the back.

I'm 28, been with my partner 5 years and everyone around me is having babies. Pretty much every time I socialise I have to deal with the "when are you two going to make it official?" and "so when do you think you'll start your family?" questions. Firstly f*ck you and your self righteous judgement on my life: not being…
