Yeah, that’s something that more high schools should offer. Show kids we’re not all that dissimilar. But that goes against what I think is implied in the OP, which is just bible study under the name of history.

I understand that there are some situations where you need cleaner drinking water; not buying from Nestle is the next best thing. TBH I'd probably drink it anyway because I'm an animal. I've traveled a lot, and been to places like Stockholm where the water is so pristine it's like having magic on tap, and St.…

We lose power in winter, and I keep like a 16-pack of bottled water. I fill up pitchers, buckets, teapots, whatever, but most of it is like, to keep the plumbing from freezing. I don't drink bucket water because I know what's been in those buckets, despite cleaning them. I usually don't have to dip into the bottled so…

I'm talking about people who come to my house, I offer them a glass of water, and they get this weird look on their face when I run the tap. My ex was so bad about this. Despite demonstrating that yes, it's just little air bubbles in the water, he just...didn't drink water. Diet soda, regular soda, milk, and beer. I…

Yeah, that's why I made sure to mention that my water comes from a clean spring, not a questionable makeshift reservoir. My well and plumbing equipment are also pretty new. If your tap water is naysty, I understand wanting to get bottled. Just don't buy Nestle if you can help it.

I have no idea. TBH the world of high fashion is becoming relevant to a shrinking group of people — high fashion will always be a thing, but the size of the group who gives a damn ebbs and flows. That small percentage makes the decisions of who goes on the runway, and since a lot of them are nutjobs, all they see are…

Meh, I've never noticed anything like that, but my well pump and everything were replaced around 5 years ago so it's all pretty new. To me my tap water from the faucet just tastes like bottled water, but when I go to cities especially in hotels, I can absolutely taste chlorine and stuff. It doesn't necessarily bother…

Cutting out sugar has been the only thing that’s worked and kept the weight off for me. All the little tricks they give you in Cosmo, like eating breakfast at a specific time or using less oil in cooking, either had no effect or made it harder to lose weight. Plus, when you’re doing low carb overall, you get to eat…

What is with people refusing to drink tap water? I get my water from a wellspring, and a few people have refused to drink it because there are little oxygen bubbles when it first comes out, which must mean it's "dirty". I just roll my eyes at them. The bottled water I keep is in case of power outages, not to sate…

Yeah, again, 20 years ago or so in videos like “Express Yourself” and “Vogue” she was using dancers and models of color because it WASN’T the thing to do. Now that it’s mainstream, we’ve all issued an informal moratorium on tokenizing.

HAH

Madonna’s used to be, and if she just redirected the sexy image into something more than ego, it’d be different. She did change a lot about sex for women...twenty years ago. We now face different problems with sex and perception that she could address but doesn’t. You don’t have to be asexual to be relevant, you just…

Hell, I grew up in AL and have both, and an inferiority complex about my post-weight loss body still makes me insecure. You’re only allowed to be a weight loss success story if you didn’t have much to lose in the first place and your skin snapped back, or if you got plastic surgery on the DL before donning this year’s…

Seriously, does anyone see us calling Helen Mirren or Meryl Streep or Joni Mitchell “desperate”? No, because they continue to rely on their talents into middle and older age, not pull Kardashian-level publicity stunts to a dwindling audience. Madonna would get more attention if she stopped seeking it so much.

I think it’s an old photo. Like, 90’s old.

I used to be of the thought that well, Michelle can do whatever she wants with her own uterus, but now that they’re turning it into family cult time I’m not okay with it. It scares me that as many people watch them and want to emulate them, because they try to only show the shiny side. Not the likely abusive, scary…

I take serious issue with this. There are biblical history classes in college taught by professors who actually know their shit, it has no place in a public high school. Also, that’s not even arts???

So dumb. I used to have yoga breaks in my classes, especially on hot days (no AC) and they loved it. Only in the US will someone try to sue for something this stupid.

Yeah, it’s still treating women as walking coat hangers, they’re just changing the preferred size of the coat hanger. Let’s treat them like humans, get them help if they need it, and see what happens!

False equivalency on that one. I don’t see a massive community of teenagers actively encouraging each other to drink just to see how much they can drink without dying, or who can shoot up the most heroin, and how to get out of going to treatment. Addiction is a disease like anorexia and bulimia, but they are not the…
