I'm so sorry for your loss. :(

Hmm, I like this example but I'm not sure it's going to get through to the OP and this crowd in general. It seems to me like hipsters' whole aesthetic/worldview is that nothing is inherently sacred - not just them either but quite a few "provocateur" intellectual types. It kinda reminds of that Louis CK bit where he…

Hoping this doesn't come off as flaming... The headdress is a sacred symbol. Assuming you're American, you probably wouldn't want someone wearing a Purple Heart because it looks cool. It is a symbol of sacrifice and honor. So is the headdress.

Rape isn't about sex. He didn't rape these women to get laid, he raped them to feel powerful, he raped them to put them in their place, he raped them because he likes to make women vulnerable and take advantage of them.

She'd never have made this plea to a male author. The world is always big enough for more male musicians and writers, but it shrinks right up for women. Anyone who makes a splash in the music world is always "the next ____" fill in the blank. The next Madonna, the next Sheryl Crow, the next Taylor Swift, the next,…

She has a point. That's exactly how other entertainment industries works. The Seahawks all retired when they won the Super Bowl, Beyoncé will never make another album since she broke all those records, and tom hanks hasn't been in a movie since "Big."

Has this woman never heard the phrase "reading begets reading"? Shepherd's books do not have good ratings on Amazon so maybe she needs to rethink why they aren't selling well. I used to work at Borders and while that doesn't make me an expert on the publishing industry it has provided me with anecdotal experiences. It…

To the couple: When I was first out of college, my sister's father died and I had to choose between petitioning for custody, letting her go into foster care, living a with a friend of the family, or going back to live with our very inept, unstable mother. She's been with me now for almost six years, and while I would…

I think the "just masturbate" suggestion is dangerous territory. Sex is sometimes about the physical release that leads to an orgasm - and the suggestion of masturbation is fine then.

Yeah - sex when you don't want it is really painful (at least emotionally) and takes a toll. And yet the burden is on you to fix yourself. You are going to have to risk dying alone rather than find a partner that might respect that about you or - gasp - feel the same way. The amount of times you want to do it is…

Ahhhhh. Stereotypes are only valid when they're made about the South.

I have a cookbook from 1965-ish that is called "Home Economic Teachers Favorite Dessert Recipes". I wonder if anyone you know is in it. Last summer I decided to make all the cookies in order of recipe and they were mostly pretty decent.

Not surprised by this at all. When our work's insurance agent visited us in the fall (in NC) we were informed that, under our policy, pregnancy is coded as a "long-term illness" and/or a "pre-existing condition". So a baby is equivalent to a disease? A back injury?

"Tell me about it."

We need to go Lysistrata on the GOP's collective ass - NO SEX for ANY reTHUGlicans until they admit we are PEOPLE not FUCKING TUPPERWARE.

My first reaction (because you were dying to know) was "wow his room is so clean!" The AC unit confuses me and I think that might be a dorm or a hotel room, but still - if I were to videotape myself dancing to Parition i would first have to throw away 10 empty la croix cans and hide a pile of laundry under my sheets.

the fuck are you talking about? He mixed MORPHINE with ambien. Liquid morphine is unbelievably potent and can cause someone to not feel whats going on and not know whats going on. This comment would be similar to if they said someone sniffed cocaine and took a caffeine pill and focused on the caffeine pill
