Ben Carson makes me so sad. I was so inspired by him as a child. I read his books and he helped solidify my dreams and goals to become a doctor.

Who is willing to do a seminar on “How to talk to people without being an asshat”? I’d gofund that.

Wait...hold on, one goddamn minute, Mr. Carson. How does your storming the beach analogy hold any weight whatsofuckingever given your “Popeye’s Organization” story where, in an opportunity to be the so-called hero, you literally suggested pointing the gun at someone else? How is that storming the beach, SIR?

Unfortunately, Armani tests their cosmetics on animals. No go for me!

I was in my 20s, so old enough to know better. Though it was recommended by a grown woman at my old job who wanted someone to talk about it with, so I can at least partially blame her!

Since this is the internet and therefore a safe space for sharing our innermost secrets... I read the original.

I wonder if I’ll enjoy not reading this version any more than I enjoyed not reading the original.

I really hate Meyer for getting so many teenage girls obsessed with an abusive and unhealthy relationship.

This is... relevant to my interests. Tuition’s coming up again, babycat needs a new cat tree and I’m almost out of my Smashbox foundation. Hmmmm.

I’m sorry for pulling you out of the greys, but what the fuck are you even talking about?

That was my first reaction, too. Yes, Kelsey, abortion would bother me if they had to shoot the patient with a gun to do it. That seems like an unsafe surgical practice.

Aren’t children, by definition, not under threat of abortion?

No, it’s not “awkward.” It’s scary when someone angrily calls you a bitch. It’s fucking scary.

A friend of mine who lives in Redneckland saw a man wearing a t-shirt reading “My sperm, my child, it should be my choice” above an illustration of a fetus. She walked over to him (this was in the local Walmart BTW, the only place to shop for miles around), and said “What would your mother say if she knew you wear…

Also so they can send the rabble off to die in the endless wars they start.

Note that neither of these refusals involve the word “no.” They are, to most of us, nonetheless clear. They include a number of tactics that many of us recognize: delay; prefaces or hedges (uh, well …); palliatives like appreciation; and explanation. The last is interesting: explanations usually go like this: “I…

I was once called a faggot by a homeless guy in Philadelphia because I wouldn’t get off the phone (I was talking to my mother) to answer him when he asked me for money.

“Please leave me alone” or “Please go away” usually is met with a “fuck you very much, bitch” response so, hard pass on inviting insults into my day. How about dudes learn and understand incredibly common social cues?

That doesn’t actually work. I use that line all the time but men get very butthurt that I don’t want to enjoy their sparkling wit. I have looked men in the eyes and said “GO AWAY. I DON’T WANT TO TALK TO YOU” and they still stand there talking.

psssssst: l’oreal magic nude liquid powder is an almost perfect dupe. the ingredient list is virtually identical which isnt a suprise since l’oreal owns armani. i’ve used both and while i have generally felt prettier post armani, that’s probably just due to the conferred luxury of the brand and bottle; otherwise i…
