The supposed* reasoning is that if airlines don’t allow lap babies, then flying would become cost-prohibitive for families and they would instead drive which is statistically more dangerous. It’s not so much that lap babies are safe, but that is more safe comparatively to fly than to drive. At the average weight of a…

I normally tip 18-20%. I was just pointing out the difference between the states. I always see people making the argument to tip due to servers not making normal minimum wage, but that simply isn’t true where I live. I’m not saying that to imply that they get paid enough. I do think our minimum wage should be higher…

The minimum wage actually depends on where you will be travelling to in the US. Some states allow tipped occupations to have a smaller minimum wage. (The employers are actually supposed to make up for the difference if the tips don’t add up to the minimum wage for non-tipped employees, but I don’t know how that works…

Same. Things make so much sense now, including why I would start off singing Shape of You in the shower and find myself suddenly singing No Scrubs while drying off.

A little over a year. I’ve been experimenting a lot with different products and techniques. I think I need to just figure out what works and develop a routine. (I’ll go a little while loving a product and then suddenly it won’t work for me or I can’t seem to use the right amount of it at all.) I also am learning to…

It was so hard to find a salon in my area that has experience with black hair, but I finally found a hairdresser. I’ve been eyeing some of her other clients to see if I find a style I like that will work with my hair. We’ll see!

I’ll check it out. :)

My favorite is when I don’t wear makeup one day and they ask me if I’m sick. “Are you feeling okay? You don’t look well.” I woke up late, okay!

Ha! I’ll try that next time. I’ll also look into the hydration and the Mizani. Thanks.

I’m always open to product suggestions.

I’m trying so hard to love my natural hair, but it’s a struggle for me. I feel like I’m more accepted and am seen as more professional at work when I straighten my hair. So many people tell me they prefer my hair straight and are like “oh, you did your hair today. It looks so nice.” Honestly, wearing my hair curly is…

See, I’m on the other side of the fence and feel like the daily hair washers are the ones that are judgmental. “Ewww, you don’t wash your hair everyday? Gross. You must be oily and smelly”. “You must never work out (you’re lazy).”

I never realized that the phrase “whip smart” was thought of this way. I get that it’s trite, but I never thought of it as sexist. I guess I just haven’t encountered it enough to see a pattern in its use. The only other time I can think of seeing it used in an article to describe an actual person (as opposed to seeing…

Don’t get me wrong, I hate this guy, think his sentence is a travesty, and have no trouble picturing him behaving this way, but is a story in InTouch really credible? Is there any corroboration? Is Jennifer Aniston pregnant too?

And he got knocked out of the news cycle right as the bit about him being sober enough (and asshole enough) to apparently take a picture of his half-nude victim and text it to his friends was getting reported. Too drunk to notice that she was unconscious my ass.

I think they’re probably bloodshot from crying when he was arrested.

It’s finally been released and noted downthread, but we’re all in the grays.Can you bump it pls?

That suit and tie shot was apparently last week’s sentencing photo. Here is his actual mugshot per Diana Prithard’s twitter.

To be fair, Buffy didn’t need to be realistically strong. Her strength basically came from magic. When she lost her slayer powers in one episode, she could barely open a jar.

It looked like Jesse’s hand to me. That would make the most sense anyway, since Jesse and Carl were holding hands when they were all in line.
