I wish this was the general sentiment during Obama-Dog-Eating-Gate. As a vegetarian, I don't get why eating dog is seen as disgusting and appalling. Even if it's not your cup of tea, it doesn't seem like something to make a big fuss over if you're okay with eating meat in general.

The day I turn to the Kardashians, Duggars or Teen Moms as role models, I've become a waste of carbon.

Justin Bieber, if you're reading this: I will have sex with you for a mid-five-figure sum, ring me up. I've got loans.

Isn't irony the use of a word for something other than its literal meaning?

Does anyone else see the irony (not right word but fuck it) in "When people push boundaries too far, it's not because they are strong but because they are weak." from a leader who just annexed part of Ukraine?

I can second that. Alas.

Excellent... another shooting by which we can refuse to be motivated into meaningful gun reform debate.

Aren't we all.

I really like knock-ya, and I'm bummed that I won't be able to use it without confusing people and sounding pretentious :(

It's really important to me not to use words that refer to someone with developmental disabilities as an insult, but I've thrown out "retarded" when angry and then immediately regretted it. It took years for me to weed out the homophobic slurs from my angry vocab, and I'm queer myself—I just spent so many (formative)…

So... a celibate pope heading up an army of celibate priests wants me to have a bunch of kids based on the teachings of a guy who died childless 2000+ years ago?

Thank you, KJ, for your half of this whole conversation... it made me laugh :)

(fyi, it's —> its in the first sentence)

Sous chef sues for salt assault

A million times "star".

I can't tell you how many forced smiles I've given to "Oh, my parents had a house by the lakes in New Hampshire!", not really knowing how to say that, even though NH is small, the area I grew up in is nothing like their parents' vacation home.

Apparently New England is now a single state. I predict this enrages the New Englanders but makes total sense to everyone from the West Coast, who can't tell us apart anyways.

I'm not trying to show them more than is necessary—it's that what is necessary differs dramatically by the gig I'm pursuing, and I'm often looking for multiple disparate jobs at once. And although a recruiter might look at profiles for a few seconds, at some point, someone is going to want more info, whether it's…

I completely get that for a resume. My issue is with LinkedIn, which doesn't work well when you're working a variety of freelance gigs. A resume can be tailored to a specific audience (e.g., a recruiter looking to fill a specific position), whereas LinkedIn can only be tailored to your entire audience. If I'm looking…

I really wish that LinkedIn used a better organization/structure. I'd love it if, at first glance, a visitor saw a resume-level amount of info and could then click on a section of interest to get increasingly more information. I have a lot of stuff I'd like to include in mine (I work a wide variety of jobs that…
