So, I am in my thirties and just finished this for the first time last week. I can totally understand why some people love it, but WHY IS IT SO LONG? If that story was a tight 120 page novella, it would have been pure gold. Instead I slogged through 450 pages, only about a third of which were interesting. I love a…

Did this playlist go away after the holiday? I found this username and other Lifehacker playlists but no sign of the St. Pat’s playlist?

When I was very young my (white) mom and a lady from church (black) use to swap watching each other’s kids. Mrs. NameRedacted was the kindest and most beautiful woman I’d ever seen and she wore her hair in long glossy box braids like this. I LOVED them. Her littlest daughter was my age and wore her hair in small puffs…

Oh no! Why is he a prick?

Also, my gossip has finally proven valuable enough to raise me from the grays! Praise be!

Not sure. Another commenter mentioned that studios change hands so maybe she was just making a blanket statement that “he” never offered her a role, but I won’t speak for her. All I know is that, in a discussion section, in a nondescript classroom in Boston, she told us it was Weinstein.

Under the anonymity of the internet, I can actually confirm it was Harvey Weinstein. I went to grad school with Ashley Judd and she told this story as we were discussing adult development and how some powerful men end up as predators. She was young when it happened and I absolutely believe her because a) every fucking…

Wow, that totally helps! Thanks for such a comprehensive explanation!

I’m kinda new to the Kinja commenting experience so A) thanks for a funny reply and B) what is the grey situation? Like, do I have to do something to not be a grey?

That is a solid idea. Komodo dragons do appear to have a sweet deal—hang on a beach all day, eat a cow once every few weeks, have zero natural predators. Thanks for considering my happiness while telling your travel stories :)

Are you me? Are you recording my conversations? I have had this EXACT conversation no less than 3 times this week. I’m 30, lower middle class, work two jobs and haven’t traveled much. I feel really really lucky that we got to do two big family trips in my life: one to Disney and one to Yellowstone.

I completely agree with your point that very wealthy people can be hard-working and generous. I have met JLD and she is tops. HOWEVER, the vast vast majority of people who go into the arts can go into the arts because they can afford it. She didn’t need to save for a house or for her parent’s retirement. I work in the…

I have a for real request to Gawker media. I just realized that I am part of the problem because I clicked on this story. So...what if we just didn’t? What if the entire system starved him for attention? No mentions, no images. Just pretend he doesn’t exist until he dries up and blows away. I mean...really. Why…

I demand a GIF party!!!

Well...that was sobering.

I have an important question and this seems like maybe the thread to ask it. I am a *very* late blooming sci-fi convert who has only ever watched the Star Wars films and enjoyed the hell out of them.

Wooooo! I’ve been supporting this kid for a few years now and I am SO excited! #CleanOceansNOW

Loved it. My inner dancer was power jamming on those lifts.

Bonjour to my brides! Friendly neighborhood florist here. You may have seen me complaining/instructing/cracking wise on various wedding topics around here.

Can I just say I love giving to Honeyfunds? Several friends have now used them and I love it to death. I am firmly in the camp of giving experiences not stuff and if my poor-ass can cough up $35 for a bowl, I would much rather my $35 become mighty enough to buy you a helicopter ride in Hawaii.
