Agreed. I have a friend who makes costumes for a living and holy shit can she go all-out with corsets. She even wore one with heels to college one day because she had to get used to it for some event the next day when there'd be a dress over it to make it even more uncomfortable. She's mad for period wear (and last I…

I have a relative with that issue. She has a corrective shoe for it, but still needs a cane, and as she's gotten older, she's having more and more joint issues related to the difference in leg length.

Oh, I can imagine. My Aunt Dolly has to wear a corrective boot now because she broke her hip twice and one leg is now shorter than the other, and without it she would have serious gait issues. (She is in 91, so this surgery would not be an option for her.) But simply for cosmetic reasons, when you are of average…

Thanks! It's just the tip of the iceberg of mildly OCD things. I think lifehacker's the only place where tons of structure and foreward planning are wholeheartedly endorsed— my gf thinks I'm slightly crazy.

Body dysmorphia is no joke. And fuck that modeling director. And those doctors. JUST FUCK EVERYTHING.

We sort of did this — and sort of on purpose: All of our "public" rooms (foyer, living room, dining room, etc.) are warm tones and variations of yellows, browns, etc. with blue and green accents.

The GAY knows how to push through your ports.

See, I heard it was better to take the staggered payout so you can get the irresponsible spending out of your system the first year. Then, you still have $$$ coming.

You are not "wasting" your fertile healthy body if you don't reproduce.

BTW I'm writing a screenplay called "90 Hues of Mauve". It's about a color blind Art Director who hires an intern to help them discern between different colors. That's pretty much the whole movie, mostly just looking at and labeling color swatches. I predict it will be much better than 50SoG.

I've started just posting the links to "Debunking" articles (mostly Snopes) when my relatives post/forward just absolutely ridiculous stuff - no comment at all just the link. I just wish that they could factor in thinking/researching for themselves before blindly sharing/forwarding.

good job rose well done way to argue and way to also words

My great-aunt, an octogenarian: got a PhD in chemistry (when women weren't encouraged to enter that field); divorced her philandering husband (when divorce wasn't a thing) to live a healthy, community-oriented single life; and teaches Tai-Chi weekly (I'm not as flexible as she is).

For the same reason Robin Williams' death made me cry. Empathy. Things affect people differently.

Empathy..ask your Doctor if it's right for you!

Twerking boob.

We want to hear all about your discomfort. Please go onto detail. All the facts please. Every word you feel, every way you think objectification against men is a thing now. I'm going to enjoy this immensely.

What a novel argument. Please tell us more, only through this kazoo.

Well, he's a man. He swept in and singlehandedly saved an entire genre from the clutches of lesser female writers. See, when women write romance novels, it's kitchy, cheesy crap. When a man does it, it's literature. (See also: John Green and YA books.)

I misread that as "The clip, directed by Dave Chappelle" and I got excited in a very weird, confused way.
