I realize this is a Sephora post, but I really, really like the brow pencil I got from Ulta (their home brand). I'm not sure of the exact product name, but it's got clear brow gel in one end and a eyebrow pencil in the other end with a brush on the cap. I got the medium brown color, which gives me a strong but natural…

I wouldn't call it "major" compared to say, Chicago or Baltimore or anything like that, but it is home to the largest college in the state and top 5 in the state in population.

I'd love to see one of these with more masculineish people! I tend to swing towards the femmey androgynous look myself (love makeup and feminine clothing shapes, but I prefer my colors to be harder and I've definitely got a butch haircut). I feel like I never see women like me talking about makeup.

I thought you were agreeing with the original poster who implied that the victim was at fault because she should have known better than to take Uber. Sorry about that ;)

I don't know about priors, but background checks aren't the extent of due diligence (and I believe Uber does run background checks). Can't they interview drivers in person*, or run personality tests, or check references, or any other method that involves a human assessing whether or not a potential driver seems to be…

Maybe they should do more due diligence when choosing drivers? Or require drivers to call in their destinations and use the GPS trackers in their cars to make sure the drivers actually arrive there in a timely fashion, as many cab companies do?

In many places (including my city) cabs are not regulated. Anyone can call their car a cab and start picking up passengers. This woman reasonably expected that she would be safe using this service. Victim blaming here is ridiculous.

Okay, but usually when someone asks "What is it?" they're referring to the subject of the conversation (Chaider), not a separate component (chai). If the customer wants to know about chai, they actually have to articulate that.

What about the "I don't think organic food should be a thing" lady? She was nuts.

Ugh, yes. I really enjoy the site, but I feel like this segment tends to fall into two categories: "I Was Rich/Privileged/Lucky Enough to Not Have to do an Unpleasant Thing*, and Now I will Judge Those Doing the Unpleasant Thing" or, like this one, "I Will Now Complain About a Topic I Don't Actually Understand."

Paleo people don't avoid meat or legumes, you know.

I don't think I've ever been in a restaurant that didn't ask how well done I wanted my burger, unless it was a fast food restaurant, and I don't live in Nebraska. It isn't a weird question. Unless the kid was like, 10 years old, I don't see how "On a grill" could be anything but that fatal mix of arrogance and…

If being given an overcooked burger is cruelty against children, my mother sure has a lot to answer for.

Thinly sliced frozen or precooked beef used to make cheesesteaks.

You know what's really scary—imagine how many people must NOT know that ducks and chickens are different animals to force this restaurant to ask that question.

I like it, but I don't think it's a midwestern thing. I think it's just a lower class version of aioli on fries.

I WASN'T THE ONLY ONE!

That's true. I spent many a lonely night in not-gay gay bars before wising up and going to lesbian poetry readings instead.

Damn, the gay bar that isn't a gay bar sounded super familiar.

Was this Iowa City?
