planning to expand the country’s economy... into tourism

Is no one going to discuss that photoshopped taut belly?

Is the Bey Hive that powerful that we can’t call her out for being a Mariah level of narcissist in that photo?

These photos are embarrassing, get over yourself.

A proposal...in a...mall? In New Jersey? Ugh, I’d be so much better at being “rich.”

Fraternities and sororities are largely based on exclusion. As a sorority reject, I’m trying to define my opinion on more than just my own personal experiences, but there you have it. The “College House” system, on the other hand, is awesome. Like Rice University here in Houston, first year students are randomly

People will always believe sensationalistic crap that confirms their fears. Some Christians in the eighties were quick to believe Dungeons and Dragons was causing kids to go ape and hack eachother up with swords. In the same decade, others were quick to believe that large-scale sexual abuses were happening at daycare

The baby is in pain and dragging it halfway around the world for a treatment that wasn’t intended to treat the issues it has is cruel.

I don’t understand how they can prohibit the parents from taking the child to another hospital for treatment?

Well, the CDC has a point. Tobacco companies are sneaky bastards and will do anything to hook that all important youth market if there aren’t laws in place telling them they can’t do certain things. This is mostly an issue in low and middle income countries where they use bright packaging and sponsor basically all

Exactly. The rehoming part of the story doesn’t bother me so much, because sometimes that’s the most responsible thing to do. It’s the fact that she lied about the dog’s history for sympathy and immediately got 2 new dogs that I have a problem with.

Agreed. Rehoming is usually not this complicated, but it can be, and if an individual comes to the conclusion that they cannot give a particular animal what it needs and decides to rehome (and I think it should be emphasized that what Dunham did is a lot different from dumping your animal outside a shelter or

Yep. I read that as don’t adopt a shelter dog because they’ll go crazy in 6 months.

I have had a foster dog for 3 years. He can’t leave, and I can’t formally adopt him yet because of his behavioral issues. He was gentle and friendly in the shelter— because he’s an extremely sensitive dog, and when you separate him from me, he shuts right down. The rescue and I have worked with 3 dog trainers, and

I don’t necessarily take issue with Lena Dunham. It doesn’t look great and I don’t like her in general but we don’t know the dog or the situation.

That brought out some sizeable anger in me too. He might want to defend her but he goes out of his way to blame the fact the dog was a rescue and that basically a violent or anti social rescue dog is inevitable. Fuck him. Fuck him so hard. There will now be people who when considering a shelter dog will vaguely

This is absolute bullshit. I have THREE rescues, including a 100+lb Maremmano that had HALF OF HIS TEETH KNOCKED OUT WITH A GODDAMN BASEBALL BAT when he was a year old - beaten DAILY by a drunken owner. He was a bit difficult at first (duh) and we had to gently throw something at him to wake him up out of a sound

Is it just me or is the new director of the CDC...not terrible? A pro-vax advocate who thinks that abortion should be a decision between a woman and her doctor is about the best we could hope for under this administration.

Absolutely, but unfortunately for something like gonorrhea, it probably won’t make a huge difference, since the resistance is so prevalent and this bug seems to keep resistance genes even when that specific antibiotic is no longer in use (so, why we can’t go back and start using penicillin again, even though it hasn’t

We also need to stop overusing antibiotics (and antivirals) to the point that they are no longer effective. This means not demanding an antibiotic when you have a viral infection (like a cold) and reducing antibiotic use in animal industry.
