Oh don't worry, I have an internal audit system set up to validate my decentness. I keep a detailed Excel spreadsheet to track every instance when I don't throttle someone who I really, really want to throttle ;)

Totally agree. If I wanted to experience fighting I'd get in a time machine and go back to being a little kid living with my parents. Definitely no "fighting=love" there, just fighting. Ugh.

Hovering sales people drive me nuts. But I'm sure a lot of them have been instructed to ask customers if they need help within x seconds of them entering the store or if they come within x feet. I also found when travelling to Asia that the sales people hovered to a crazy degree, but apparently that's a sign of good…

Yes!

the fruit and vegetable are initally planted and grown separately, but after a few weeks, the tomatoes are cut off the stem. Then they’re matched up to potato stems, eventually fusing together to create nutritional pathways

Probably an end-of-season harvest?

I totally dated a guy who did this. It was weird. Eventually I had to assume that he was lying about everything.

Well, to be fair, the rich have been fucking everyone to get ahead pretty much forever, and will probably continue to do so, with or without libertarianism.

It's not just encounters with assholes that make women feel that misogyny is a constant presence in life. That stuff is so ingrained partly because women are socialized so differently from men when it comes to personal safety. Illustration: a while back, in mixed company, someone asked who locks their doors when…

"WEDDINGS ARE FOR THE MOTHERS!!!" <— my mom

AHHH! Finally a smaller IUD for us ladies with no babies! Thank you for posting this; I've had a Mirena in for ...8 years now? I know it's only supposed to last 5 years but I wasn't sure what to do next for birth control so I've been procrastinating on removing it :/ Insertion was horrible and the next few months…

Sexy hamburger? Who the hell thinks up these things. There is truly a sexy everything costume at this point. I'm waiting to see a sexy colonoscopy costume at this year's Halloween parties.

I'm pretty sure those shoes are painstaking reproductions of traditional First Nations stilettos. I totally saw them at the Museum of Civilization.

I think that's more "orangeface"

and what is with all the "beats" advertising in like EVERYTHING these days...

yeah...she doesn't seem very alive or energetic in the video. her movements used to be more snappy, but i agree, this looks like she's just going through the choreography without actually "going for it". zero fierceness.

The sharks are the best part of that video. I like to imagine an alternate ending where the sharks catch the hem of her dress in the water, pull her into the pool, and it all ends in a frenzy of sparkly hot pink bubbles.

I don't think it's that people don't have options. I think a lot of people just don't really realize that they have the option to have relationships outside of conventional monogamy. I mean, people know that other types of relationships exist, but I think that norms exert such a strong influence that it doesn't…

I don't know if they ever will realize it...at this point the blood supply to America's brain is too clogged by right-wing talking heads and processed cheese.
