If you are health conscious, check the nutrition label when comparing generics to brand name. I have found that our local private label brands tend to be significantly higher in sodium, MSG, HFCS, fats, and preservatives. They often taste the same or better, but for this reason, we still buy certain brand name…

It is a tough subject. Does rape culture exist? Yes. Can we fix it overnight? No. Can you start taking steps to protect yourself overnight? Absolutely.

They need to adopt Russia's animal control policies.

Avast is super bloated lately, not to mention that their 3rd party support is scamming people that call in. As far as I know, the virus engine is still OK though.

Price shopping is great, but it can bite you with insurance. It's much more important to find someone who actually pays out claims without a fight. I'm looking at you Geico.

This is exactly why we are trying to hide my wife's pregnancy from her boss for as long as possible. Would it be polite to let them know right away? Yes. I've really appreciated employees who have been courteous enough to let me know so that I can start planning for the transition as early as I can. The difference…

Wow someone on Jezebel with a working sarcasm detector. I'm always afraid to joke on here.

Not that I advocate genocide, but I swear that the only way to stop fighting in that particular part of the world is to just nuke everyone from orbit. Of course, then you'd probably still have a Palestinian cockroach throwing rocks at an Israeli cockroach in the middle of a nuclear wasteland.

I think it's about picking your battles. Don't start a fight and set off a tantrum over things that don't matter. Kids need an outlet, and if all they ever hear is "No!" they will misbehave like crazy. If you allow them to run and scream outside in the yard where it is appropriate, they won't (usually) choose to do…

I used to love them too, but once they started giving me issues, I was done with contacts permanently. I've tried multiple brands and types, but they all feel like having a rock in my eye now.

If you include turtleneck sweater dresses:

I don't know, the right turtleneck can be pretty sexy.

No, it is saying "don't have unprotected sex." There is no slut-shaming involved whatsoever. There are so many places to get free condoms and even free testing these days that there really is no excuse not to use them. I don't normally use the term, but since you brought it up, even the world's biggest "slut" is…

Yes, but it's significantly more preventable than most chronic health problems. Generally, ignoring things like accidental needle sticks or sexual assault, if someone has HIV, it is because someone was irresponsible. If you aren't doing anything risky (unprotected sex, sharing needles, etc.) there is a very low…

Fortunately, it is a very preventable virus. It sure sucks for those who manage to get infected though.

This is my wife. Once a year, Kohls may have some clothes in their junior's section that look professional enough for her to wear to work and that fit her. Otherwise, she pretty much just has to sew them herself.

I prefer bottom freezers. With my height and normal top freezers, the freezer blocks my line of sight of the top 2 1/2 shelves. Unless I get on my knees, I can't see most of the top shelf. I'm in the fresh food section much more often, so it is way more convenient for me to have that on top.

I bought one. I wasn't impressed.
