Oh please. This has everything to do with other people and nothing at all to do with her personal body. The fact is that Amy is on the heavy side, and zaftig if you want to be polite about it.

In other words, if she lost 20-30lb she wouldn’t look anywhere near anorexic, and would still be considered healthy.

“Tiny percentage” really isn’t the key. The CBC has regular stories about people with kids that have expensive rare diseases and whose treatment isn’t covered by the provincial healthcare plans. And if parents want it covered, they pretty much have to resort to lobbying and CBC sob stories to get a public outcry.

If they were in “religious conflict”, they would have a problem with being gay. But from what the commenter said, they’re fine with being gay and just have an issue with gay marriage.

Raspberry gelato may be your jam, though. I don’t know if Ben & Jerry makes it, but Haagen Dazs does.

First of all, Stockholm Syndrome is not a drug, so bad analogy.

Second of all, it’s entirely possible to be against gay marriage and not be insane. These people may be against marriage altogether, and just be in favor of civil unions instead.

It’s possible if you survive on beans and rice until you have enough saved up. And I’m saying this as a person who will have spend almost 2 paychecks by the end of this month on dental work I knew I had to get done since January.

As a person also with shitty and crooked teeth, the best investment I made (aside from cutting down on the chocolate eating) is one of those pressurized water flossers.

There are many brands out there, so I am not going to hawk for Waterpik specifically since I don’t think the brand matters much. Pressurized water…

Cosmetic procedures to alter an otherwise healthy and well-functioning body is not “medical care”. That’s why boob jobs and ass implants aren’t covered.

Or vision coverage for that matter.

The real problem is that she does get attention, both from venues and from the media. How this person is able to get work as a comedian for 20+ years is beyond me.

I propose a more logical system that it not as dumb as treating some people “of color” while others not of color. Unless you’re freaking transparent, you are colored.

POC is as annoying and weird as “colored people”. So no to POC and no to “colored people”

Spoiler: most bloggers (not just Gawker ones) leave a site because they find better jobs that don’t pay them poverty-level wages based mostly on page views and buys.

If you’re savvy enough to look at the media monitoring and/or writer’s blogs out there, you can figure out just how little they were/are paid. (I’d…

They are not only willing to invest, they actually DO invest, and do have diversity programs. Just because you haven’t heard of them because Gawker doesn’t write about them doesn’t mean that they don’t exist. Google Summer of Code, Google science fair sponsorship, Facebook machine learning contests and fellowships,…

Denying him his own culture and experience? GTFO. He’s half Asian half white and for all intents and purposes is a fat white NYU American hipster. He doesn’t speak Mandarin (or any other Asian languages) so he’s attuned to the Asian cultural experience in America about as much as any idiot who orders Chinese food…

The point isn’t that everyday issues are matters of life and death. The point is that a kid should be able to rely on their parent to be there WITHOUT it being a life or death matter, because being in a parent/kid relationship is about sharing both good moments and bad.

Er, I don’t think you’re really making the point you want to make here, bub. If Gawker is Denton’s empire to do with as he pleases without answering to anybody, then Gawker’s lack of diversity is even more of a shame than it otherwise would be.

Sure he is. He’s about as “Asian” as any Facebook employee.

Erm, you do realize that just because a company is not publicly traded doesn’t mean that SEC rules don’t apply, right?

So you’re trying to tell me that board of directors consists of just 2 gay white dudes?

Even if that’s so (highly unlikely), the “diversity” of Facebook is either better or no worse off that the “diversity” at Gawker. They both recruit/hire from top (private) universities, and give voice exclusively to mostly white,…
