It’s kind of hard to take seriously a critique of excessive advertising from an article with a persistent bottom ad, multiple ads in the middle of content, and at least one full-screen pop-up ad - all of which turn reading into a halting, laggy minefield that eagerly mistakes a scroll gesture for a tap.

Starred every comment in this thread. “I heard gluten was bad for you” is a first world problem. “I spent three days in the bathroom because I used an imperfectly washed cereal spoon to stir my tea” is not.

I share a favorite band with Glenn Beck. It’s heartbreaking.

I feel like this is maybe approximately the mirror image of declaring moms psychologists and CEOs?

Starred for "beasts", even if it was unintentional.

Never knew much about her until a couple years ago, when I was linked to her "Ukelele Song". Thought it was awesome until the line, " Stop pretending art is hard". How condescending.

Seems to be redirecting to Women's Plus Size Halloween Costumes now, which is...better? Sort of?

Because I am That Guy, I must point out that cubic zirconia and lab-created diamonds are two different things. The latter is made of pure carbon just like "natural" diamonds, while the former is zirconium and oxygen in a cubic crystalline structure that would not ordinarily occur in nature.
