Will Mattel ever admit that Barbie (and Ken) are pretty much over in terms of actual playable dolls? The only ones that people seem to be interested in are the collectible ones. Whenever I browse the doll sections in Target or WalMart, the Barbie section is a wall of boring pink with nothing particularly interesting…

Ken is definitely a kept boy toy. When has he ever had a job? He’s totally the kind of dude that you hook up with but don’t get into a relationship with because you know he’s going to ask to borrow your car, will forget his wallet but will totally pay you back, and will gradually leave so much of his shit at your…

I did too. And wondered what kind of situations these people were in. I went to a naked or not yoga class once and I can see the possibility of visible butthole being pretty high depending on the poses. But otherwise? That’s not really a thing in everyday life.

Seriously. Everyone has a butthole. Having sex with someone is likely going to involve the possibility of seeing someone’s butthole. That goes with the territory. I refuse to consider yet one more thing for women to feel ashamed of when we’re trying to enjoy sexy times.

Non-verbal consent is a thing. The fact that she guided your fingers there and the fact that you didn’t pull away = consent. I wouldn’t call touching someone’s butthole or anything else during sex sexual assault but acting as if a pre-sex discussion of what is and isn’t cool during sex is ‘negotiation and…

Being a drug addict doesn’t automatically make a person ‘bad’ just like not doing drugs doesn’t make them ‘good’. Those types of value judgments only help if you’re looking to stigmatize and demonize people rather than help them. Maybe teach your goddaughter than no one is perfect and that even good people can make…

Stop being logical. Don’t you know The Man’s always up to no good! Now he wants black olives to give people tin poisoning!

I wonder about that, too. If both people are drunk, then, in theory, neither of them has the capacity to consent or are even in the right mind to think/ask about consent. Are they assaulting each other or is it dependent on what was communicated prior to hitting that point of intoxication? It sounds like both of them…

Ikea can be fun if you have some time to kill and want to wander around imaging what your life would be like if you live in those neatly-decorated model spaces they have set up. And the cafe isn’t bad especially on a weekday. The food isn’t expensive and you can sit around people watching and thumbing through the…

Except this isn’t a ‘small thing’, it’s a nothing. People being upset about all white Skittles makes as much sense as people saying that the Black Panther movie is racist. It’s like asking why black olives have to be in a can while green olives get to be in a jar. The only thing this outrage does is make presumably…

Worse people justify it as a way to motivate the person to lose weight.

We have similar situations with accommodating very large patients. Will they fit into the treatment chair, will their wheelchair fit on the lift, will they be able to transfer? But, like you said, those things are asked behind the scenes with other professionals and for very specific, practical reasons. Not to shame…

But you’re highlighting that point by essentially shitting on the accomplishments of students from a non-charter school. Charter schools definitely play the numbers game when it comes to pumping themselves up. They get away will all sorts of scamming because too many people are convinced that charter = better and…

Unfortunately, articles about rape are far more likely to get views than articles about drug specifics. I can see the prosecutors opting not to focus on the specific drug or even to bring it up in order to avoid getting the jury bogged down with parsing out the type of drug and trying to understand how/why Cosby was…

I’m sure some folks are having an absolute shit fit over this. It makes sense, though, in terms of adding more customers for Amazon and actually can help older folks (many of whom receive SNAP benefits/Medical Assistance), the disabled, people with babies/little kids, people in food deserts and people who don’t have…

I do some of my grocery shopping using Amazon Prime Now and it’s pretty convenient for basics especially if I don’t feel like running around or don’t want to end up with a bunch of impulse buys. I can see older people, disabled people, and people with small kids especially using the service. If you live in area with…

And yet people will still line up to defend Cosby. All of his victims will be called whores and gold diggers, and liars just out to ruin a great black man. They’ll ask ‘why didn’t she say something?’ and ‘why was she even there?’ ‘Why did she take that pill? I wouldn’t have taken a pill. She must have wanted something…

It won’t. That’s the problem with modern terrorists groups. You don’t have to travel to become radicalized, you just have to have internet access. And it won’t be by going to the ISIL recruitment page, it will by going down the rabbit hole of more and more extremist materials. Technology, especially social media and…

A lot of people don’t get that. That’s why people support things like travel bans, registries, and all manner of security theater and violation of people’s rights. It gives the illusion of safety and the satisfaction of ‘striking back’. Unfortunately, all it really does is help the terrorists’ cause. Not only does it…
