Man, I don't really care what the commenting system is like, but I do wish it would stop changing every five minutes.

That was my reaction too, so I looked it up. He's 43, not 53.

My dad is the same way. And no matter how many times I tell him, it does not get through. In his mind he's using a perfectly correct term. (also, I'm not sure that he's aware that time has passed since the mid 70s. The idea that things that were true then might not be true anymore is difficult for him generally)

My thoughts EXACTLY!

I doubt there would be any interactions. I mean, you should generally moisturize after using a cleanser anyways, especially one with those harsher ingredients - might seem counter-intuitive when you've got oily skin, but moisturizing can help discourage the overproduction of oil. You could start with a grocery store…

Well, clearly chicks aren't the only ones who watch too many rom-coms.

Woah, what is with the attitude here and in the discussion about tuition in Québec that 'I don't get things that good, so they shouldn't either'? Seriously, what is with that? I'm exploited, so you should be too? No! Neither of us should be exploited! If $15/hr is what you need in NY in order to not be on assistance,…

Probably a way more effective self-defense bra than springloaded knife points or needle like quills....

Yeeeeeesssssssss!

I'm not concerned about genetically modified plants as such, I'm concerned about modifications that

I don't get why they're all upset about it. I mean, he's the pope. He's got that whole doctrinal infallibility thing going on. If he were to release an official statement refuting the interpretation of Jesus washing his deciples' feet meaning that the people used for reenactments of this event have to be male because…

The last barbie I got was black. She was probably a DeeDee. I had been asking for her for a while and my parents really didn't understand why I would want that doll. I think I eventually wound up saving up and buying her myself. $12-15 was a lot for a tween/young teen to save up! But she was pretty and different from…

Yeah, that's harder, and I'm not saying it would be a painless process. But I do think that once a more humane work system was fully introduced and normalized, it would be better.

God, yes. I remember reading a couple of articles maybe a year ago about women carrying babies with Tay-Sachs. One managed to get an abortion, but the providers were legally obligated to be dicks about it, the other didn't and this baby that was born dying completely destroyed her family. Like, her husband committed…

Our relationship to work is so so fucked. What we need is a shorter work week, higher pay generally, and much much higher overtime pay (along with some way of addressing salaried employees overtime work) so that it makes more sense for a company that has 120 man-hours of work that needs to be done per week has the…

Dude, did you read the article? She does speak Korean and made a point of making that clear to them when they were badmouthing her assuming she couldn't understand.

Yeah, at SWellesley, people talked about this as 'the penis rule'. As in, if you have one, they're not going to let you be a student. I knew quite a number of trans-men (who had not had any bottom surgery... not sure if any of them had had top), but no trans-women to my knowledge, although the word on the street was…

I think that backlash that you got was about the second part of your comment, not the first. If you'd been like, 'I don't like that show, it does nothing for me.' and stopped there, you would have been fine. If you'd said 'I don't think Lena D is a good writer' or 'I don't think she's funny' (is that show supposed to…

Well, that's the dumbest reason to adopt a political opinion that I've ever heard.

Actually, a little wikipedia-ing suggests it probably was a true allergy because it seems like people grow out of those while they don't so much with lactose intolerance
