Can we discuss how, due to Gawker Media’s new company ‘vision’, we do not have our own Republican debate live thread? Kudos to Gawker for ‘allowing’ Jezebel to be included in their thread, but FUCK Gawker for making the feminist website all about gossip, et al. They declare themselves to be liberal and yet continue to…

Seriously, the Biggest Loser was crap, but I find her technique in her DVDs really helpful. She admits exercise can be hard (especially when starting out) and she has a good sense of humor. Plus she admits that even she has trouble with some stuff, like flexibility.

What makes it a bad analogy is that choosing which child would be super-easy, because he only cares about himself.

Weirdly, I once ended up on holiday with a travel editor for one of the glossy Condé Nast mags. Or rather, I was on holiday, she was working. She had two enormous suitcases for 5 days, and spent most of her time in a single sheer leopard print cover-up, wearing masses of beaded jewellery, sunglasses so large they…

Republican political women do.

No, you’re fine. You need a buddy, though! What are you doing Saturday?

“Lord, I’m...I’m one step away from using this Savage .30-06 Rifle I just won at the auction to do somethin’ to some liberals that I might end up regrettin’, Lord. Please, a’mighty, give me the strength to resist! Unless you want me to do that. Do you want me to do that, Lord? Did you put that idea into my head? I bet…

All political food is like that - after 18 months of bad chicken it’s a surprise these people don’t just launch nukes on their first day in office.

Lol, the atheist lords work. Is that a god that does not believe in himself? Like a solipsist god. “nothing is real man”.

Those are some fancy potatoes. I would have gone for these and that open bar.

Little did you know the entire room was just filled with undercover bloggers with made-up personas trying to infiltrate the event.

“You need to hire a CEO. You need to give people report cards and if they get a C or an F, they’re out.”

Marital ads in newspapers continued to be a thing long past the early twentieth century. They may just have changed to “personal” rather than “marriage” ads. My parents met via a personal ad my mother posted in the 1970s. My mother explicitly stated her “professional” status (not as in hooker, but as in white-collar…

I don’t think personal ads are so different today. People are still skeptical of relationships that don’t have roots in “introduced by friends” or “met at a bar.” And personals still indicate socio-economic status/requirements, only a bit more subtly. They’ll use keywords like “professional” and talk about how…

Oh, 18 makes MUCH more sense. I’m slightly less worried now about the woman who probably died, like, 80 years ago.

What would you prefer in a partner: very many tiny faults, or not very many bad ones? Good philosophical question.

I worked in the archive while in college, it was formerly a women’s college and had some of the most amazing pieces. One of my favorites was a “Chap Book”, from the 1800s, a woman kept a notebook of every single eligible man she met for ~15 years. It had their name, location, and little things about them, like…

Sadly I’ve discovered that women just don’t seem to be interested in whether or not a person is a freemason. I don’t know why I even bother going to the lodge anymore.

If i was on a dating site I’d be changing my profile to reflect that I don’t have “very many bad faults” immediately.

I agree with her. I looked into raw veganism for a while and I was struck by how many YouTubers who follow that way of eating were former anorexics/bullimics, etc. ‘How raw veganism saved my life’ is a video that features on a few channels. They seem to love the fact that their way of eating involves a lot of…
