The story of the Natives helping the pilgrims out is a myth written over a century after the actually landing of the New England colonialist by Lincoln's cabinet as a story to go with the creation of the official national holiday of Thanksgiving. The real first "thanksgiving" feast was actually to celebrate the…

@lilydancing: The assumption of PETA and like minded activists that because I eat meat, I don't eat vegetables and lack respect or compassion for animals is the thing that gets me the most. One of my favorite beef dishes out there has more soy in it than beef, which is part of the reason I loooove it.

@amowls: Sorry, that was a poor choice of wording. There is a duality in nature with Geminis, though, and the only two I've ever seen not really exhibit that trait were actual twins, oddly enough.

This is why, even as a hobby astrologist, I will never take magazine horoscopes seriously.

@rachelratesreykjavik: I wouldn't have minded about it being beaten by Black Swan, which was fantastic, or even the King's Speech which I haven't seen but heard great things over, but really? I had little incentive to see the Social Network between the reviews here about they misogyny and the fact that I spend so much…

@SeaBlueMonkeys: I actually had a good minute of HNNNNGH over that.

@belladonna seablue marshmallow eyes: I think you're the only person in these discussions (anywhere) that I've seen mention other planetary influences and houses. For this, you get love.

@Poubelle: Yeah, but even then, the standard of the Western zodiac is based more on seasons than anything, which is why it still didn't change anyhow. Both horoscopes are relatively immutable in that sense.

@AreWeThereYeti: Actually, it's because in the astrology world, this is old news and only applies to Vedic and the rarely practiced sidereal systems of astrology. Western astrology, especially the vagueness of popular sun-sign-only horoscope forecasts, deals more with seasonal changes and generations than stars and…

As a hobby astrologer, I was banging my head over every mini freak out my new feed was getting. I didn't even have to open links to know exactly what this was about. It was old new for all astrologers and on Bill Nye's Eye of the Nye like four years ago.

@RenoDakota: You mean a fascinator? The problem with mini hats is largely (no pun intended) that they're meant to be worn with very styled hair. Unfortunately, most people wearing mini hats don't bother.

@emilouharris: God, after getting past the whole "Wait, didn't they just have Finn stand his ground against Rachel letting herself be objectified in school?" issue I had, I looked at these pictures from a strictly professional and technical view point. There is nothing but a name and the subjects that would ever…

At least the blurb on Newsweek's cover gave me a little hope. The "traditional male" is dying and was technically already dead for me growing up. I think it's absurd that they felt a need to "masculinize" the less-than-traditionally-male job market for readers, especially the bit about being a gym-teacher rather than…

@Sputnik_Sweetheart: I loved the embarrassing prayer circle that the showed at the end during credits, where O'Donnell lead them to pray for the souls of MTV.

@NewsBunny: Actually, there is naked man sushi. Nyotaimori is eating sushi off a nude woman, while nantaimori is named man sushi. I had to research naked sushi for a sadly still-unfinished piece of fanart featuring a nantaimori scene. Men tend to either have leaves on their manbits between the sushi, or lay on their…

The practice of eating sushi off a naked women is called nyotaimori and does have its roots in sexual fetish, though typically, the practice does not end in full sexual contact. The woman (or man, in the case of nantaimori) is required to wash before the meal with unscented soap and rinse with cold water, to help…
