Ugh, I hate it when people use Darwin as an argument for eugenics. "Survival of the fittest" is not a Darwinian concept. And anyway, most of these allergies don't seem to be hereditary. They're likely more environmental. People without peanut allergies have kids with allergies, and vice versa. So a person with peanut…

That was a risky click, but I'm glad I did it.

"Fuck you, I got mine.": The Joan Rivers feminist philosophy
Being a female trailblazer means nothing if you use your success as a way to bring other women down. Fuck that noise.

You know, in my journalism program, it was the course that everyone hated. But that was mostly because it's so much work (and partly because most of the classes were at 7am and the prof was a little ruthless). But I seriously loved it. It's amazing to see the ins and outs of this one little Amendment that keeps our…

Why would costume and dress be mutually exclusive? I'm sorry, it's cut like a dress. I don't believe that the criteria for dresses includes the requirement that they be opaque.

Rompers and onesies have crotches and many onesies have elasticized ankles. This isn't a bodysuit. It's a free-flowing dress (or dressing gown if you're more conservative).

Her ass is fully covered. Upper thighs, not so much, but then a lot of clothing shows upper thighs (shorts, short dresses and skirts). And she's clearly not embarrassed because she chose to show off her body in a way that makes her proud. And if you do a Google Image search, you'll see that what she's wearing is…

Come on, it's a dress. There's no reason to infantilize her just because you don't like the dress.

And the research keeps going back and forth on gluten and wheat allergies. There are dozens of conflicting studies, and telling people that "bread doesn't actually make you throw up, so just suck it up Faker" doesn't fucking help. I did enough years as a server to know that a server's time is valuable, and it's a lot…

Cool story, bro.

It's happened to me, and it's AWFUL. The problem for me was that the usual "you'd look prettier if you smiled" bullshit is talking. It fades into the background of city noise. When a man starts clapping, it sounds out of place on a city sidewalk, and EVERYONE turns to look at where the noise is coming from. I just…

Oh fuck off. A lot of people have gluten sensitivities, and even if someone does have Celiac, it's more likely that the server is going to understand "gluten allergy." You're busy, I'm busy and it doesn't help any of us if I'm required to explain my entire medical history to you justify why I'd prefer a gluten-free…

Ohhh, that looks awesome! Thank you!

I'm reeeeeeally looking forward to "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes" by Caitlin Doughty (Ask a Mortician). Sept. 15!

Obscenity really only applies in cases where you have a capitve audience or where it's handed to a person without them requesting it. It's primarily used to ward off unsolicited porn in mailboxes, and porn during daytime tv. Otherwise all nude photos and pornography would be unprotected. (I mean this in a completely…

Yesss. Agreed entirely with all of this thread, BUT free speech does mean a lot of things. If we're talking straight Constitution: speech, press, religion, petition and assembly. Then there are dozens of Supreme Court precedents that expand on those ideas. And then there's the fact that this is the Internet and many…

Holy shit, Zoe Saldana was in "Crossroads"?!?

"Anorexic" is a person with an eating disorder, not a body type. Fat women can be anorexic, and the vast majority of thin women are not anorexic.

And women don't need to clean rifles, computers or cars?

Wait, the manager charged $20 for a bowl of bleu cheese? That's a little... astronomical.
