Just wanted to reply to you since it seems like we have things to talk about. See my other comment in this thread about the fact that majorities in four major Mississippi towns have elected mayors and aldermen who passed ordinances that prohibit discrimination based on any LGBTQ orientation or characteristic. Change…

Okay. I am from and currently live in Mississippi, and I know it very well. I can tell you that our state level government is INSANE, and actually does not reflect the feelings or beliefs of many MANY people here. There's a particular reason that law got passed. At this point, I think four towns—Starkville, Oxford,…

That is a classic "suppressing negative/dismissive response" *facial blink/pause. Whatever she said next, this face expresses an intentional diversion of her thoughts from her initial reaction to something appropriate for the interview.

I agree that the human capacity for denial is truly vast. This discussion reminds me of this great piece in NYT. http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/20…

I'm in my 30's, and "witch/witchy" has been a compliment the women on one side of my family have used for as long as I can remember. It basically means "above it," intriguing, marching to the beat of your own drummer, mysterious, powerful, intuitive. Stevie Nicks is witchy. Anjelica Huston is witchy.

What an idiot! You have to mix the honey with a shitload of cinnamon for it to work.

Define "reasonably intelligent." I think most people have a hard time understanding how others see them. Someone can be simultaneously "reasonably intelligent" and really bad at recognizing how they come off.

I love this!

Justifying a litany of violations of her body and express will by insisting that she wants the violation. Classic. :|

Exactly. If that's the tactic someone chooses to try to get what they want, then the other person should have the authority to make the beggar go in the other room with the door closed until they can get it together. Nobody over the age of five has any excuse to behave that way, and I would offer that a clearly…

There isn't a private place to say this, but I wanted to say I really appreciate that you mainpaged me last night. I got doit2julia!'s second comment, went and read her link and decided I needed to delete the post, and when I came back to do that, it had already been mainpaged. I genuinely hadn't considered the…

I love that stuff! I probably take a shower that's too hot, but I don't have any chronic skin problems other than face acne, which is impervious to seriously all forms of *doing or not doing anything. I only shower about three times a week (more if I get super sweaty). My fave, which I do about once a week, is to…

What is it with people not knowing how to shake hands? I frequently encounter the kind of attempt where someone seems to want only the palm sides of the fingers to touch together, with the thumbs loosely resting on the top sides of the fingers. NOT A HANDSHAKE. If that's what someone does instead of shaking hands,…

I keep thinking very crude, inappropriate thoughts about this grotesque, slow-motion tragedy, in order to make it seem less real. Like, "Obviously, that is a zombie baby." You know, a thing that only happens/exists in fiction and not real fucking life.

I have a problem with the fact that she's couching the diet as "body-loving," particularly since the one she wants you to follow is highly restrictive and a major departure from your current eating habits. She's not coming from any education/certification-based authority either, which I also find objectionable. How…

I guess somoene could tell her, but she would most likely survive and keep on survivin'. Also, I'm not sure if that would count as dissing her on the internet, but we do know her mama taught her better than that.

I thought he was understandably frustrated. Like they were both really into each other and wanted to be there, and he was going from making out with this gorgeous woman who also thinks he's gorgeous into dealing with the knowledge that he would never get her full attention for even ten minutes. We're told that she's…

Fine as hell and kind and fucking beautiful. The lines in this part DESTROY me. He says that awesome thing about life being full of complications. Then the phone rings the second time around, he says, "Will it make him better?" BECAUSE HE CARES. She says, "No," and goes about the utterly futile answering of the…

Exactly! Cake forever, cocaine never! Or not "never EVER," as she has apparently said, but short-term, limited use of a drug during a shit-awful time in one's life is not the same as long-term addiction/excess.

Welp. Enjoy your visit from Krampus, Megyn. You asshole. http://www.krampus.com/who-is-krampus…
