That is fabulous. I had to learn through trial and error that responding with a smile and a genuine "thank you" can trigger rage-induced meltdowns. The trick is to really mean it. And I always do.

Also, the footed variety for your very weirdest dreams:

Honestly, WHY don't more people choose to be white? They're just asking to be put at a disadvantage.

Discrimination so blatantly at work. You see how smoothly the white and the men rise to the top like the whey rises from the curds. Makes me feel sick.

Yep, my company is pretty diverse in race, gender, and age at every level except the VPs and execs. There are two female VPs, both childless, gay (they aren't a couple), and late 40s - early 50s. The execs are all male and, with one exception, over 50. Every single VP and exec is white. I'm in my early 30s, black, and…

I hate the good ole' "but why are you complaining? At least you have a job!" Yes, I have a job. And I work extremely hard at my job. And I sacrifice a lot of things to be able to continue at my job. And because I work for a company does not meant they get to treat me poorly, wear me down, or turn me into a robot.

Mine, too. Addams Family Values was the best and Wednesday Addams spoke for me!

Trolls come here all the time. I'm not fat, but I'm a person of color, a lesbian, and a soon to be lesbian mom. I see comments on Gawker that are racist and homophobic all the time. These comments would never have even appeared on Gawker before kinja was brought on and the star system was introduced. Jezebel has also…

It's often said with an unspoken hint of "...because TV is banal and stupid and so are those who watch it." I think your response is valid.

I agree. I think we should tread carefully with things like this, because I think the idea that "well, nobody's a racist anymore!" has contributed to this idea that we're a post-racial society and that any perceived racism is the result of people being "oversensitive" or "playing the race card" (vom). And this mindset…

An AFTERNOON film? Bloody hell... it still slightly freaks me out now - what the hell kind of channel were you watching it on?

Surely by happy you mean gay.

So true! I remember being a kid and my stepmom telling me stories about him - how he was in the internment camps (horrible horrible) and how he learned Spanish and chatted with Ricardo Montalban on set. I want to be his friend.

I want to marry this man. I mean, if I weren't married, if I were a dude, if he weren't married...

"Your opinion has been duly noted and will be archived until its formal review, which, due to backlog, will be sometime in 2018. Thank you."

Fat vegetarian here! Nice to meet you.

I'm sure you're the very first person on the internet to tell me the experience I live every day must not be happening because some other people said it happens to them, too.

Yes, I wanted to say that Rob Lowe has turned into the BEST character actor. He's proof that handsome can be hilarious. Parks & Rec? Californication? This?? I need to see this movie now. (I don't remember him in Wayne's World, but I trust you on that one.)

I think the fact that your comment isn't about their swimwear is everyone else's point. This whole article is about fashion and swimwear. You start talking about "health." Fat person does ANYTHING, someone says something about health.

Bro, let's be real. When someone says "I'm not judging, but it's a health issue"…

We discussed in some of my linguistics classes why certain words became profane. In English, most of our swear words are short, hard, Germanic words, which indicates that they are rather old words, though they have evolved somewhat (vowel shifts and so forth).
