Is this the place where I can complain about not being able to find a shoe with a mid range heel?? They're either sky high stilettos that I couldn't walk in to save my life or something so low that Mary from It's A Wonderful Life would wear them in her alternate universe life where's she's a librarian spinster. …

I agree! But, it's still a poor choice of title for the article, mostly because the person who asked for advice didn't himself use the phrase "friend-zone" so it seems unfair to have made that the title.

When to Take Your Baby to a Bar: Never. Jesus fuck, people, don't have babies if you think you can just carry on your adult life without making any changes or sacrifices.

I don't mind the *existence* of babies at brunch/bars/restaurants/movies at all, as long as a) you don't expect me to alter my adult behavior, and b) if your baby starts screaming (not crying, but that ear-piercing screaming) you get the fuck out of there and try to calm that heathen down before you rejoin society.

No. You have kids, you forfeit certain things. You want brunch? Go to a family restaurant. That's what they're there for.

She had been called out so many times for cherry picking, lying and twisting facts that to even consider her a member of academia is funny.

Some more gold.

I still need to read the entire article, but a quick reply to Phase 3: thats the one i hate the most. That a game forces you to make such ridiculous decisions in the beginning of the game that you revert to online expertise to find out what the "best" way to play the game is.

Yup. I for one am shocked that Jezebel's reporting could ever be misleading or just plain wrong.

"Female Pop Stars Die Much Younger Than Everybody Else"

Pfft. Like the industry really wants pop stars to live normal, healthy lives. They're our sacrificial lambs, set out to be our social discussion playthings.
