Wait, what? Airfare, lodging, and food included? Did you get married in, like, 1910?

Totally get where you are coming from. I’m 25 and have been All About Weddings for the past 2-3 years. I could happily sit down with a stranger and talk for hours about their wedding. My boyfriend recently got invited to a wedding across the country—in Nebraska!—and I’m trying to convince him we should go because, you…

I agree. I don’t see this as at all racist, but images shouldn’t have to rise to the level of “blatantly, glaring racist” before someone decides they’re not the best choice for a national campaign. It would be like if the configuration of the models made the pattern on one’s shirt look like a swastika, or a part of…

Are you kidding me?? I was a server for 2 years and your grandma sounds like a dream customer:

Well except for this dude, who has apparently worked in restaurants for years yet still thinks it's acceptable to bring your own tea bag, make outrageous off menu requests, and sneak in alcohol in a flask. I am pretty sure the latter is actually illegal (liability reasons) and will most certainly get you kicked out.…

Keep in mind that this is not something that you can just wander into off the street—there's limited availability, you have to purchase time slots well in advance, and tickets are upwards of $30. Personally if I'm dropping $30 on a haunted house, you better believe I've googled the heck out of it beforehand. I don't…

Reasons why this doesn't always apply: 1) Restricting exposure to societal forces doesn't always stem from a desire to empower your daughter or act in her best interest. Banning makeup, ear piercing, television, immodest dress etc is also a common practice in some Christian fundamentalist families, yet somehow I…

From years of clubbing I can attest that dancing in heels gives you a really, really good quad workout. Glutes and calves too—depending on how you dance and whether you bend your legs, you'll hit different muscle groups. I don't think I'd go take a class involving heels, but I don't doubt that its a legitimate and…

Guy: "Women don't like me because I'm too nice."

Pairing gay students together seems like a bad idea though, for the same reason that pairing straight male and female students might be problematic. "Floorcest" is awkward enough, but an ill-advised hookup with your actual roommate is bound to make the rest of the semester absolutely miserable.

But nor do 13 year olds actually give each other diamonds and rubies, hence the satire. Not that this is exactly brilliant social commentary comparable to Jonathon SWIFT—but cmon, it's a Hallmark card. You wouldn't expect the poems on Hallmark cards to be up to par with Shakespeare either.

Dear lord, it's meant to be a joke.Whether or not it's funny or appropriate depends on who is giving it to who: no, adults should probably not be giving this to the 13 year olds in their lives—but cmon, duh. You should probably also avoid giving penis cards to your boss and grim reaper birthday cards to your ailing…

Questioning a stranger about their eating habits isn't concern, it's concern-trolling and it's completely inappropriate. And eating disorders are no joke—they're serious and potentially deadly mental illnesses. Moreover accusing someone of an eating disorder just because they're skinny perpetuates the myth that eating…

On the topic of being cheated in the metabolism department: I think many people who watch their weight or have trouble losing weight automatically assume that they have a slow metabolism. When in reality there are a number of other factors at play and unless you have your metabolism/thyroid/etc tested you don't really…

If you eat at your body's maintenance level, you *shouldn't* feel hungry, since you're eating the right amount of food to sustain your current weight. The thin people you're thinking of are most likely not trying to lose weight, therefore they're not on a diet and they're not going hungry. Whereas if you're eating at…

This too. Again when I ran crosscountry/track, almost everyone got some sort of injury/stress fracture at some point. I was in physical therapy from running when I was only 14! And this is all young, healthy, normal-weight teenagers. If you are older, or carrying extra weight, or have a history of bone/muscle…

False. I ran for years and never lost weight or got thinner from it. Most girls on my cross country and track teams didn't either. Granted none of us were significantly overweight, but even those of us with an extra 10 pounds were typically still carrying them at the end of the season. My guess is that when you're…

Well of course there are wrong reasons to have an abortion, just as there are wrong reasons to marry, have kids, go to college, vote, etc. That doesn't mean abortion should be illegal, any more than it should be illegal to get married just because you want wedding presents. But by the same token it's silly to act like…
