Isn’t the safest thing... always buy product that are sold in the EU, who have real consumer protection laws?

Recently read about the cost of commuting on a money/finance blog. The gist of it was: one you factor in the cost per mile (gas/maintenance/etc.) and your time costs, you’re generally better off doing whatever you can to minimize your commute. Of course after reading this, I started looking at ways to cut my daily 2…

Last summer I moved to go from a 3-hour roundtrip commute from South Bay to Orange County to an ~8-minute drive to and from work, and that’s if I miss all the lights.

“Of course we can’t judge. If you choose to do it (unlike your lover’s stitch!), and it makes you happy, go for it.”

Nose jobs are so hopelessly 80s. If you have a big nose it just means you’re photogenic.

I’m to the point where the only thing I found surprising about this is that he’s figured out how to embed a video in a tweet.

This mother fucker...

It’s only slightly less obnoxious than naming one’s kid “Princess”, “King”, “Prince” (sorry, Prince, but if you hadn’t become the eccentric, purple megastar worthy of that name, it would have been weird), “Saint” (side-eyeing Kanye and Kim).

I have only to see proof of someone naming their kid “Empress” or “Emperor”,…

I’m somehow glad that it is illegal in my country to use titles (jobs or gentry) or random words as names. The reasoning is that titles have to be earned (or inherited) and having a title as a name could cause confusion or even fraud (claiming you are a doctor when your name is Doctor etc).

So you want to tell me if someone’s resume came in with the name Sir/Baron/King/Queen/Lord/ Countess etc at the top you wouldn’t make any assumptions about this person’s character?

Oh fuck off, Sheesh.

I have long thought that Blue Ivy was a nice name unfairly lumped in with terrible celebrity baby names.

Sir is a title, not a name, for chrissakes.

Funny how these old-time cures and remedies have to be “rediscovered”. Could it be that maybe they fell into disuse because they made people deathly ill?

The federal government that still thinks it’s the 1950s.

Well, it *wasn’t* any different. That’s why we ended the marriage. :)

It makes me laugh that the lawyer you spoke to is called Rachel Green, because she didn’t qualify for an annulment.

See, why does anyone have to be TOLD not to eat placenta??

Let’s just say my work claps themselves on the back because they give both parents 3 whole weeks, each. Which the birth parent can only use after she has used all her short term disability and exhausted at least 2 weeks of sick/annual leave. But, it means she will get 100% pay for 9 of the 12 weeks the FMLA gives her,…

One week paid leave is a start…but only because we’re a terrible backwards country. Jesus Christ, most women aren’t even healed healed at that point. You’re not even supposed to be using toilet paper at one week. One week after my little was born, I was still bleeding, and I had a vaginal birth with very little…
