i've always had a soft spot for chloe sevigny because she's managed to forge a successful tv/film career without being conventionally beautiful, and I think that's rare in the american film industry, where even a TV show called "ugly betty" uglifies a very pretty girl instead of just hiring someone plain for the title…

One of the nice things about continental europe is how people still put an effort into wearing actual clothes! Not just gym gear everywhere! Whenever I find myself back in an english-speaking country, I'm appalled by how shitty everyone is dressed.

I agree, flagging a post is far easier than confronting someone directly, especially if you're not sure if they are seriously entertaining suicidal thoughts, or if they just being a bit emo.

As much as a I love to snark about FB, I can't really fault this step. Many teen suicides written about in the news include excerpts from their social media accounts, and they often leave worrying posts before committing the act. As a teen, if you saw your friend post something hinting at suicidal thoughts, it's not…

Those old-timey "ugly" names have been making a comeback amongst urban hipsters for a while now. I think Lily Allen's kid is called Ethel May.

Yeah and it's not even "cooking" as a discrete task. I mean, keeping a cupboard stocked so one can actually cook is a task in itself — multiple tasks really, as one needs to expend mental energy on keeping track of the cupboard stock, making a list of things you need to re-stock, trudging around the supermarket,…

I don't think it's about values though. A lot of men say and believe they take an equal role in housework, but then, they won't clean the stovetop unless they are told to (with a lot of fanfare and grumbling and the expectation that they will be praised to heavens for doing so).

A lot of men slack off once they have a slave wife to do all the drudgework for them though. I've seen this play out among several couples I know.

You've missed my point. Did you see what I wrote about the tap? I object to the way the artist reduces the totality of conception/gestation/birth to the only bit that matters to men - the vagina.

Unrelated, but I've always hated that painting, or more specifically, its title. It's like painting a picture of a tap and calling it "the origin of water".

Kids don't want easy costumes though. Kids want AMAZING costumes. Parents are the ones who want easy costumes.

For what it's worth, I think you probably wrote your original comment in haste, using phrases like "shake the shit out of him" which definitely sounds abusive, but which was probably a gross exaggeration of what you actually do. It's normal to use hyperbolic language in throwaway internet comments.

I wanted this video to be better

One of the few perks of working in an office is the gossip.

Except working from home also kinda sucks because I am at home right now and I am supposed to be working but instead I'm procrastinating here and there is no boss to tell me to get back to work.

I want to know who decided that adulterating the water supply with little bits of plastic was a good fucking idea in the first place? Did no one think this through when these products were being approved by the FDA or whatever governing body decides this shit?

I'll chime in with everyone else to say that she looks stunning.

Around the time of the Renaissance, European aristocrats used miniature poodles, housed in special voluminous sleeves, as hand-warmers. This fashion was so common that the dogs were known as a group by the term "sleeve dogs".

Why are we still talking about the dress?

I want this to be true, but ... Paris had a shelf life of about 3-4 years. The Kardashians on the other hand just seem to get stronger as a media fixation, and there are no signs they will fade away like Paris. Maybe it's because there's just so many of them. Maybe it's because the family is linked to genuine…
