Well according to some anonymous internet commenters over at John Scalzi's blog, all Sad Puppy nominees were contacted beforehand and asked if they were okay with being on the slate, so I wouldn't feel too bad for them. (Assuming Anon-Internet-Dude is correct).

Putting the political issues aside, do this people not understand what a literary award is intend for? It's not meant to select the most entertaining, popular works, imo. It's about selecting that meant something to the readers, or that have interesting and meaningful themes, revolutionary structures, or other…

I do it on the same day, and generally that's how most people do it in my experience. (Actually, a lot of the time now I do my own damn color cause it's like $50 cheaper, but when I indulge at the salon I get both done).

And Wally West. And the Justice Society. Argh.

I just for the life of me can’t figure out what this series is supposed to be. Is it a reboot? Is it an attempt to streamline multiple continuities and create a new universe? Is it just a fun two months of traveling to different DC’s-of-bygone-eras? They can’t seem to settle on a tone for what they want this to be.

This is only communist in the way that early American colonies were communist. (Although I will give you that it is closer to little-c communism than big-C Communism.) In many small, isolated communities, free market capitalism doesn’t really work, because it’s an economic system intended to work on a multinational…

That's true. I think a lot of what it comes down to is not wanting to spend months or years pursuing a case against people who you would rather never see again anyway. Especially when you're probably still working crazy hours for little pay and don't have the mental bandwidth. There's not a heck of a lot to win,…

Yes, but people in the restaurant industry make so little and its so easy for them to lose their jobs that its pretty rare for it to be prosecuted.

Because he was using a fucked up test to screw with employees who were really desperately poor. It's cruel.

Other people have already pointed out why her joke his different from his assholery, so I'll just say this: Not-perfect people still don't deserve to be hurt. Even if she was a total asshole, Shaffir's bit was still cruel and not okay. Her behavior is completely separate issue, and does not excuse any harassment or…

If you don't have an Ulta, L'Oreal has a nearly identical product called Brow Stylist Sculptor.

Man, that's weird! Mine's been rattling around in a backpack or purse for the past couple months and they've been fine. Maybe you're cursed? ;)

My thing is that I buy only a few products there. I really like lipstick and use it a lot, so it's worth it to get a $20 one that lasts all day, but I barely ever use primer so I just have a $5 ELF one that works to cover redness when I need it. I also find its worth it to invest in a nicer foundation, since it covers…

I've never had that happen! Do you know how old yours are? Maybe they've updated the formulas/packaging recently, I just started buying Sephora a few months ago and haven't had any problems.

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?
