Thanks for that! I didn't realize it had a name but I've actually been part of the second line way back in '03. That second video was really interesting.

What is a "second line?" I feel old and/or out of touch for not knowing.

Hotter than ever? Debatable bordering on no. Squeezed so tight, my own boobs empathetically hurt? Sure. The day I'm like "yeah, go ahead and let the underwire just dig into my ribcage...that's fine."

Well, I love potatoes. I'm going that route.

Did I write that? I don't remember writing that. I was asking seriously. How do you eat? Because I'd be googling into next week if I decided to really look into food company shittiness. There's plenty of "current" assholes in the news when it comes to food production practices.

How on earth do you eat at all when you've set the bar so high for the companies selling you food?

I saw Cumming when he played the role back in, I think, '98? I was 16. I no longer look 16 but he looks exactly the same. He was phenomenal.

I'm generous. You have a stick up your ass over a Jezebel article. To each their own.

I know what survivor bias is. It's not a counterargument (which I doubt Tracy would be trying to find). It's a separate point she made because the paragraph mentioned where the women in the study were drawn from and what kind of work they do. And it's her opinion. It even has a touch of humor. And it happens to…

People have biased opinions of mothers regardless of their line of work. How is that hard to understand? He's speaking of one bias, she's speaking of another and alluding to the beginning of the paragraph.

I think that's the point.

Actually, she really does look pretty bad in person. To pretend that her unhealthy life choices have not had any detrimental effect on her appearance is silly. You don't abuse drugs and fillers and walk away looking great.

This whole thing makes me uneasy. Yes, it's fantastical and people are free to idolize whatever they want. But I can't help but wonder how we would feel were this about different subsets of people. And I know those groups exist but I don't think it would just be "hey, here is an interesting culture you should learn…

Sorry but there is no excuse for a destination wedding that works for me. Want the location? Elope. Want to cull the list of a local wedding? Be an adult and tell your mom Aunt Esther didn't make the cut. Being able to leave Aunt Esther back home in Yonkers is no reason to make me pay $2000 to go to your wedding. …

"It's cool if you're vehemently pro- or anti-spanking/beating/whooping, but some of us (especially those who aren't parents yet) are still up in the air about it."

I'm not sure I understand why Jezebel doesn't just hire actual writers. You know-people who have actual skill who write factual and thoughtful pieces. A crop of pretty good ones just beat feet and now I'm left thinking that maybe they knew about the horseshit that was about to come down the line. Seriously, get…

It used to say something different. She fixed it and commented on my post to tell me she fixed it.

May I suggest? Do not buy a blanket for a baby. Believe me, it has enough. Cute outfits? They're cute for a minute and then they don't fit. Bail on that too if you want your gift to be very meaningful. The meal idea? All the gold stars! I would gladly give back 80% of the baby clothes I got for easy to…

You're right-it's not hard to understand. It doesn't mean the author doesn't want her point to be clear.

I understand that but that's not the point she was trying to make.
