Cool it, we’re talking about a recently constructed word. One that if you actualy speak Spanish, sounds comical and like the brand of a product.

TIL about “latinx”

Everything I’ve ever bought at ASOS Curve is fucked up in some way- I once ordered a pair of jeans that were supposed to have a 32" inseam but were more like a 40" inseam. They also sent me other people’s orders a couple times. The clothes look cute on the site, but are a disaster in real life.

I love a good print, and there are so many outside of the abstract floral/splatter/glitter/f’ing leopard well that LB keeps going back to. They’re also guilty of overusing the mail-order fat girl palette (hot pink, over-saturated teal, royal blue, Grimace purple) that I’m pretty sure originated in the 80s.

Pharmacist here. If you are prescribed a drug that has a generic available, you’re pretty much going to get that whether you want it or not. If you’re prescribed one that doesn’t, ask if there’s another drug IN THE SAME CLASS that does have a generic available. Usually there is and the doctor won’t mind switching you.…

Collins said in court papers she’s now remorseful for her actions.

Always ask your doctor if there are generic versions first. Generics are much cheaper and usually just as effective.

Tons of generics are available at WalMart for $4 for 30 days. Some even less. Those aren’t loss-leader prices or altruistic loss-taking on WalMart’s part, either. They still profit on those drugs.

This is such a weird story. I don’t understand what’s happening. I don’t understand any of this.

That’s a huge generalization and oversimplification in the first place, but there’s a great book that addresses your point. It’s a really eye-opening read: Scarcity: why having too little means so much. It discusses decision-making (and other behaviors) when you have limited resources (both time and money). Side note:…

THIS. I learned the hard way that being the “cheerful” employee that cleans the fridge means you are stuck cleaning that damn fridge forever.

Yea and how you’re forced to have the same convo again and again. “Are you excited” “Omg so excited! Chubby cheeks and little shoes! I love them already!” and God forbid you say “not yet, I’m actually terrified and don’t feel any emotional connection yet”. It’s not so much being pregnant in public as being forced to…

Agreed. We’re probably different generations here, but it’s just that I never felt pressure to keep hair. It was the opposite. I always felt pressure to remove.

Well, as someone who stopped shaving, I’m pretty sick of everyone telling me I’m unhygenic/gross/ugly/smelly and lazy because I have hair. I’m also tired of seeing dudes (who probably wouldn’t go down anyway) claim any hair on a woman is the reason they won’t eat her out.

They give HIV tests, educate asthma and diabetes patients, remind the elderly to take medicine, and perform a myriad of other tasks now at more than 200 thinly staffed health clinics in 17 states and Washington D.C.

I really think they are forgetting that they’re supposed to be making fun of Warren for claiming to be Native American. And now they’re just straight up making fun of Native Americans. Right?

I’ve asked some former antichoice people this question, and they say it is a combo of both. First, in the fore-front of their minds, they believe this and repeated it. They also really believe they are saving the lives of actual babies. Second, beneath the surface of all that, they know the laws don’t actually protect…

Oh, I don’t disagree at all! And the bulk of my annoyance with the study stems from the misinterpretations it will inevitably lead to.

This is such a hard thing for me to get used to. I used to keep wearing clothes until they had noticeable holes in them. Faded, worn out, didn’t matter. As long as I could still wear them. I never bought more than one, maybe two pairs of pants at once.
