To all of the hubbub about the topless GQ cover - whatever.

This is how I feel about this song. It's not ideal, but it's pretty harmless. She's not making a sweeping declaration about the overall greater value of fuller bodied women over their smaller counterparts. This song seems like a direct reaction to being told that people like her are fat and unattractive for a good…

I don't know how true that is. There are lots of people who are sensitive to the chemicals in aerosol perfumes and when they are present in they air they can have serious reactions. Particulates are certainly sprayed into the air when people use spay perfumes and they can circulate throughout a room or a building just…

Why the hell do you care though? Good for you, it's great that you kicked a bad habit. However, for all of it's problems, nicotine is not like alcohol or heroin. You can be a "raging" nicotine addict and smoke three packs a day and still be a functional member of society. Take pride in your accomplishment and enjoy…

You should check out the crazy list of unregulated chemicals in most commercial colognes and perfumes. A lot of the ingredients that are commonly used are known carcinogenics and endocrine disruptors. It can definitely be a health hazard.

What is your point? I never understand why people have such a damned superiority complex when it comes to people who smoke. Do you want to see some examples of people with nicotine addictions?

You have no idea how long I've wanted red hair. You are very lucky and I have no idea why people make jokes about gingers.

Writers and film makers get criticized all the time for writing gay or minority characters while not being gay or a racial minority. Isn't that the whole idea behind the "stay in your lane" style of thinking? Let the people who know first hand what minorities experience write from their point of view? It's really…

Well, I can already tell that I'm more of an expert than you are.

Congrats on your ignorance? What are you even trying to say? I don't understand your comment.

This is what I'm seeing here, haha.

Perhaps you're right about the fee for ID's, I should have looked that up before I spoke. I apologize for not being more thorough.

We have a serious history of racism in this state as well. We are also have some of the most racially diverse communities in the country and there haven't been any allegations of racially charged vote tampering that I've ever been aware of. There is racism all over the country. Yes, I believe that some sort of voter…

Where on earth are you getting all of your nonsense from? I've been relatively poor most of my life. I had a driver's license well before I had a car. I've always had a credit card - this is not unheard of, even for poor people. Don't give me that line of nonsense, I've never met any other broke-ass person who went…

You're right, and I forgot about the utility bill/pay stub provision. I've always been asked for a government or photo ID, but I do remember that from when I was helping people register. I guess I've just always grown up with the idea that you need to provide some sort of identification to vote, and we really do not…

$59? Good grief. Is there any explanation given for that cost?

Lol, poll tax. In most places you can get a government issued State ID for free, so that's not really a poll tax, but okay. All I'm saying is that elderly people manage to do it here (in a state with many more issues that might prevent people from being able to reach the polls - inclement weather, transportation…

I can understand that. I think that the way that out state deals with that (since we have a large number of isolated and difficult to reach rural communities) is that other government offices are able to process and distribute ID's for people. Like, they'll have one community government office that handles all of…

Yeah, in this instance it definitely is pretty stupid. I guess I was speaking more generally, and allowances should definitely be made for provisional ballots in these cases.

Lifelong Alaskan here - there appears to be nothing "Inuit inspired" about this collection. The Arctic isn't a place filled with viney-jungle forests and fur mini-dresses. Nothing in the style of jewelry, dress or background suggests that the idea for this photo shoot was drawn explicitly from that culture. Perhaps…
