Word of advice, y'all: Do not see What If. The main character talks about how love just gives people an excuse to be a selfish asshole, and then he proceeds to be a selfish asshole and a friendzoned Nice Guy, all without a hint of awareness or irony. Driver and Mackenzie Davis (the girlfriend of Driver's character)…

I don't understand why this is so unclear to people. She's clearly mocking herself, and not mocking anyone else or appropriating anyone else's culture. For quite a while, some of the writers here (or perhaps just one; I haven't paid that much attention to bylines) have been over the top with their criticism of her.…

Right? This is almost too sad to be true. (Also, Hillary, that should be "toe the line," not "tow the line.")

The Albuquerque PD has already been investigated by the DOJ for an excessive number of fatal shootings. After the DOJ investigation wrapped up, they responded by purchasing over 350 AR-15s. It's a shitshow.

Bikers Against Child Abuse! Yup. How badass would it be if there were a similar group for reproductive rights?

If the gray/promotion system is coming back, then I think being able to somehow delete or hide posts is going to be important. People aren't going to want to lose their accounts once they've been starred/promoted, but there are likely instances in which someone might want to post something and then delete or hide it…

I have no interest in watching the show, but I'll keep an eye out for the soundtrack. I loved the music from BSG!

How people dress and thereby signal group membership is part of the essential definition of culture. regardless of whether or not you find it tasteful.

I thought your username looked familiar. The trolls have been so active around here lately; I should've paid better attention before feeding.

Not everyone who dresses like this is a gang member, and people have a right to be upset at a negative and demeaning portrayal of their culture. The fact that people assume this style of dress solely signals gangbanger is problematic in and of itself.

Somehow we managed to have spirit week at my high school every year without anyone wearing blackface or disrespecting someone else's culture (because as I said elsewhere, not everyone who dresses like a gang member is actually a gang member, and my culture is not your costume). Perhaps the fact that the majority of…

Not everyone who dresses like this is a gang member. And apparently it bears repeating: my culture is not someone else's costume.

I once saw a gay romance novel that came with a knitting pattern for an (extra large, as I recall) penis cozy. While I do read gay romance novels, I didn't read that one for so many reasons, only one of which was that it came with a knitting pattern for a penis cozy.

The appropriate tipping percentage keeps going up, and seems to vary a bit regionally. It wasn't that long ago that 15% was an acceptable tip, then 18%, now 20%. When I'm the southwest, 18% seems to be the generally agreed upon standard (although it's still 15% among older folks, generally), but in the northeast, 20%…

There are situations in which no one in the group can afford to cover the check for everyone. When I was younger, my friends and I could afford to eat out/tip appropriately for ourselves, but no one could afford to cover the cost for the entire party. Sometimes check splitting is a financial necessity.

This this this. They're nipples! There's no good reason for them to be shameful. I'd absolutely go to work without a bra if I could.

How do people earn money from YouTube? This has always baffled me.

As I recall, both kids were fathered by her older boyfriend. It was fairly common and accepted in my culture for younger girls to date older men, so I wouldn't be surprised if that were the truth.

I went to a religious high school and neither we nor the public school kids got any sex ed at all. A classmate got pregnant in 7th grade, and teachers came around to talk to each class in the grade about how things were going to be difficult for her and we weren't to treat her any differently and make things worse.…
