I was engaged to a man who, after proposing and moving in together and buying furniture etc., told me that my size 12 frame was "too fat to ever love" and locked the food cabinets. I broke it off and I sold the ring because fuck that guy.

I don't really drink soda, but I think Coke tastes better than Pepsi, and that diet soda does not taste good.

I tend to agree.

See, I disagree with this:

I called her out on it (when she brought the chips and salsa to Thanksgiving) and she just giggled and was like, "I don't know how to cook! Hehe." Like it's cute. She's an attractive 29 year old woman, so I'm sure she thinks it's somehow endearing, but it's actually kind of annoying and rude to do shit like that. BE A…

oh my god WHAT IF TAY DID GO FULL RIOT GRRRL?!?!??!

That's brilliant! I had some friends who were theatre professors who put gold stars on the top-scoring exams and papers in their classes, and they said they saw an uptick in the quality of the work they received after they started doing it, because people really wanted a gold star. They were definitely on to something.

The foreign exchange students at my college were always the ones who got held up at gunpoint

Aw :[

I wish more people heard all these views here in London. All we hear about or see about America or the American people is your news media propaganda and the hatred of people interviewed on the street. I'm so glad I saw this post on Facebook because as in Palestine or Israel or Iraq or Syria or Russia or America there…

The CDC does not and never has made shit up. In all likelihood, there was a breach in protocol when they took off the suits and they became exposed to the virus. These nurses are not trained outbreak specialists; mistakes can and did happen. Ebola is not airborne, Ebola is not everywhere, and Ebola is not going to…

My current house doesn't have a dryer, and the difference to my clothes' longevity is enormous. The only reason they lasted so long before was because, frankly, I could have done more laundry in college than I did.

Clearly you have never met my red-blooded American mother. Sweaters galore, my friend. Sweaters galore.

YES! I thought I was the only loser with sore thighs for three days because I never work out.

Oh yes. The "question" which is actually a "I'm so smart give me a cookie" statement. I have been known to reply, "Exactly." Or "It depends on context." And then move on. There's 100 people and they all want to ask questions. I don't have time to listen to some douchebro give a lecture during my lecture time. :p

Agreed with everything you said there, but you did say on the original comment implying that he targeted Kesha since Perry "looks tough as nails." Toughness has nothing to do with why abusers choose their victims. As human beings we all have vulnerabilities, we all have insecurities, and to abusive people, it usually…

Ugh probs.

That's just stupid.

Offense not taken, but marriage is essentially a civil contract. Contracts, recognised by the law, confer certain rights. The answer isn't to get rid of civil contracts, it's to establish the legal basis for more of them. Your solution is to get rid of marriage. That's not my solution. My solution is to find ways of…
