I don't love pigeons, but this still makes me super sad. It sounds like their deaths are pretty horrible, and I don't want any animal to go through that.

All the way. I am so lucky to have been living with my super-healthy-eater sister when my last relationship ended, because if it wasn't for the dearth of junk food in our kitchen and my lack of a car, I would have been knee deep in chocolate and cheese for months. She saved me from gaining, like, 30 break-up pounds.

Agreed! She just seems really great. I still love my bff Jennifer Lawrence, but I want Olivia to join our Magical Friendship Threesome.

This made me laugh so hard I cried, which upset the dog who felt he needed to come over and console me. He did not understand my shouts of "These are happy tears!" while he licked my face.

This is definitely true. I once dated a celiac, and I very enthusiastically offered to make him dinner for one of our first dates. To summarize his response- "Um, no."* I didn't know gluten allergies were a thing at the time, and I would constantly suggest dinners that contained gluten and then feel like a jerk for…

I didn't even know there WAS an 'other' folder. Just checked it- so many weird messages in there! What is wrong with these people? What kind of response do they really expect from a "Hello. Yur profile was very attracted to me. Pls respond." No thank you, sir!

Yeah, that was the point of the [] section. I agree with you, but I figured I'd attempt to explain the rationale of the James Bond/Doctor argument and point out that the James Bond franchise has changed a human character's gender before.

To play devil's advocate re: the James Bond argument, it's kind of exactly the same thing. M was always a man, but a few movies ago he became Judi Dench, and it looks like she's about to become Ralph Fiennes, if I'm remembering Skyfall correctly. So if M can be played by a female actor, who's to say James Bond…

Are you familiar with Stephen Mangan (from Green Wing, Episodes, et al)? I always thought he looked like a young Elliot Gould, and the picture you posted just confirmed it.

They've been throwing bananas at black players during soccer matches in Italy for basically forever. When I first heard about that, I had a similar reaction as you. I always just assumed that Europe was more advanced than us (as they are in a number of social issues) and would have gotten over that whole racism…

First and foremost, major, MAJOR high fives for telling him how you feel and asking if he feels the same. I have done that once myself, so I know precisely the size cojones it takes to do that. My sister and I refer to it as going "balls to the wall," and it is such a difficult thing to do, so good for you, you are cle…

I think it sounds like a great idea as long as you're 100% comfortable with it. In my experience, doin' it with a good friend as opposed to someone you're kind of dating/trying to date is way better, because you can be comfortable and honest, and not worry if you look fat from a certain angle or if you're making…

Essie's Matte About You is excellent! It's 7 or 8 bucks, so not a steal, but not a Deborah Lippmann-style rip off, either. Enjoy your matte, it can do so many things!

I had a similar roommate. She never called me lazy, but she was an early bird if ever there was one. We'd both get up at 7:00 for work, and she would be well rested and chipper, greeting me in the kitchen with a bright "Good morning! I had the weirdest dream last night! I think it's because I have a big project due in…

I hate the passive aggressive good morning! At my last job, they didn't really care when you arrived (within reason- 10am was the latest allowed) as long as you put in your 8 hours. I always arrived at 10:00 on the nose, and was greeted multiple times with passive aggressive "Good morning" or "So you are coming in…

I always wrote my college papers in one sitting, and I'd usually start around 8 or 9 pm and finish at about 4 am. The best part of my papers was always the last few pages, the ones I wrote between 1 and 3 am (3-4 was for proofreading and editing). I don't know why, but those are my best, most clever, most productive…

PREACH. I hate that sleeping late is associated with laziness. I can't fall asleep some nights until 5am, so when I get up at 11am, I get teased for being Rip van Winkle who just wants to sleep the day away. The reality is that I sleep significantly fewer hours than the people saying these things to me, but they just…

This is definitely the case for me. I'm always drawn to the nail polish displays (sooo many preeeettty colooorrrs), but I haven't bought anything in a over a month (which for me is a long time) because I genuinely have everything. Every pretty little bottle I pick up looks amazing and new at first, but after a few…

Whatever the opposite of this is:

This is perfection. I did a megalol, even though I'm staunchly anti-beard.
