Gotta be honest, I feel kind of okay with that.

and honestly, I think it gives them more fodder for an appeal. it definitely suggests that the judge and jury were biased, or were predisposed or led to believe this family was capable of the act based on their perceived culture/religion. it's a tough spot, but I think focusing on "honor killing" does more harm than…

the idea is awesome, and dogs playing are cute, but overall I'm a little disappointed. I really thought the video was buffering when the dog first enters the park, and restarted the video before realizing no, that's just incredibly ineffective use of post-production slo-mo. man, I'm a sucker for slo-mo (it's pretty…

I seriously went back and restarted the video after the first few, because I thought that's what it was. none of the slo-mo shots were well-chosen or long enough to be effective, IMO. seriously a bummer.

I don't know where I stand on this advice other than that it makes me a little uncomfortable. It just feels wrong. In my relationship, my bf and I have gone through phases of one being more "into" the relationship than the other, maybe more in love, but we take turns. I don't think one of us generally or always is…

I tried this and failed like three times before realizing I was covering my LEFT eye instead of my RIGHT. Now it's cool.

pretty sure he's not "photobombing", he and his friends are laughing at her. the whole purpose of the picture is to see how strong and stoic she was in the face of all the jeering and blatant hate, as one of the first black students at an all-white school.

Hauser isn't exactly "a product of Alcatraz", and I wouldn't say he "escaped" the time jump so much as "missed" it. He said at the end of the episode it was his first shift, and they showed up apparently well after the fact, discovering the empty prison. I do think there's a lot more to be learned about not only his…

I think there's a difference between a seated arena and a standing show. You're able to get the video you want without getting in someone else's way (though you're right, asking those around you is just good form. the bright little screens in a dark space is distracting) and, IMHO, you're only hurting your own…

I can't stand the sea of screens at every show. I get it, you want to get a picture, cool. I've done it. But for fuck's sake, don't stick your camera in my face over my shoulder, don't just stand there staring at your screen or holding it over your head the whole night (get your pic and get out) and FOR THE LOVE OF…

they did that with another image too (I think it's meant to be slide 2 based on the gratuitous anorexia reference. see here [issuu.com])

I'm guessing #2 is meant to be this (on the left) - it caused quite a stir on a friend's FB page...

I think a lot of people are missing this: "Apparently, cone snails are one of the deadliest fish assassins on the ocean floor, despite being so slow and peaceful-looking. If it gets near a sleeping fish, it will release chemicals to paralyze it."

I had a terrible boss who would gloat about the fact that a female ex-coworker of mine cried the day he threatened her job and she subsequently quit. He would pick on her well after she was gone. For all I know, she may have never even cried, but he had the idea (or had attempted to start the rumor with my male…

haha I went to RU and I know EXACTLY the shop you're talking about. it was "Out of This World" (not the name of the shop - that I've forgotten - but the tag-line) I knew a girl who worked there, but I successfully avoided any creeps the times I went.

That's why I'm curious about it. I wouldn't assume which one would elicit a stronger reaction. I do imagine that part of the reason people feel more for coworkers of the same gender is because they identify with the coworker. The boss may be less readily identified with because of the authoritative difference. Would…

I wonder if there were any differences depending on the boss's gender. they distinguish that women felt demoralized and men felt anger and anxiety, but I wonder if those emotions or their intensity changed when a female coworker was mistreated by a female boss vs a male boss, etc.

when I watch the Criminal Minds episodes with Mandy Patinkin I refuse to refer to him as anything but Inigo Montoya, and explain any emotional outbursts on his father's death.

this is the FIRST thing I thought of. my coworker and I ranted on our lunch hour once about this, half serious and half laughing hysterically. as if whatever you're upset about couldn't POSSIBLY be worth being upset about, it MUST be the hormones. you are instantly and systematically silenced.

I thought this too. A guy I went to high school with apparently posted a goodbye video before committing suicide last year. I only heard through acquaintances (friends of his) who posted to FB kind of vaguely about it (so I spent the next day trying to figure out WHO, which was scary) and never saw the video. I don't…
