I was wandering around a Barnes & Noble yesterday and ended up in the "Diet" section and laughed and laughed and laughed. I probably looked about as loony as that girl with the cake up top. But c'mon, "Dr. Gott's No Flour No Sugar Diet"? Why don't you just call it the "No Joy" diet?

I dunno if this means AIDS prevention should include intoxication prevention. I think the message that you should carry condoms with you when you're going out drinking whether you think you're going to have sex or not would be way more effective.

If I had an abortion, it would definitely cause me emotional distress. You know what would cause me even more? Every dream and plan I've made for my life going to shit because I've suddenly got this kid I don't want.

It's tired because it's reductive, pointless, and in many cases plain wrong. There are indeed many actual food deserts in the US, where there are no family-owned food stands anywhere, within walking or driving distance. If you were living in a 25-35% low income neighborhood, you probably weren't in one of them. In…

Haha. I know. I was making fun of the commenter for coming out with the tired old 'lentils are cheap, so why are poor people fat?' justification. And her putting "in poverty" in quotes, since poverty apparently isn't a real thing in America, just in the 'many countries' she's been in where the poor people eat better.…

LENTILS ARE SO CHEAP!!!! Why aren't all the people "in poverty" eating more lentils???

It seems pretty common to not respond with a polite 'no thanks' but I still find it rude unless the person is a total douche. It sucks waiting around hoping to get a text message from someone you like and eventually giving up. Much better to get a prompt 'no'.

This right here is why I have a policy of NEVER following up after an unreturned text or call, whether I think they maybe didn't get it or whatever. I'll just sit around by myself thinking about all the reasons they should date me rather than telling them about it, thanks.

I have a FWB who seems completely unaware that he has a really small penis. He was putting a condom on once and having trouble and said 'uh oh, I hope it's not too small' (referring to the condom, not his penis'). I didn't want to say anything, but uh. . .there was no way that the issue was the condom being too small.…

My ex (who was awesome about condoms to the extent that he got nervous with pre-sex teasing in case we got caught up and forgot to put one on) once described the effect as "like trying to wash your hair with a shower cap on". What a demoralizing image.

Yeah, but they JUST launched it in the wake of these allegations, and considering what's been happening they should have just. . .not. Because it's hilarious and ridiculous.

"Mr. Cain has been a strong advocate for women throughout his lifetime." I guess that's one word for it. . .

Cool nonprofit = TEQUILA SHOTS FOR EVERYONE. LET'S GET DEM INTERNS WASTED.

I've never gotten a negative reaction to my wanting to split the bill. I make sure to say that I think it's very sweet that they want to buy my dinner, but I prefer to pay my own way. I think guys might balk at it if they feel like you're accusing them of being a macho patriarch just because they want to buy you a…

This is great. I used to get really ragey in middle/high school because kids would get sent to the principal's office for saying "fuck" or "shit" in class, but they could call each other gay or faggots without even getting scolded. RAGE. RAGE. Nice PSA, though.

You really think that 'being held to a lower standard of coolness' is equal to privilege men have in society? "Being held to a higher standard of coolness" means being judged as an entire person, not just as a body. Your argument basically amounts to 'but women who were only allowed to be housewives are privileged…

So by 'women', you mean 'conventionally attractive women'. For women who don't fit the very narrow attractiveness standard, that privilege does not exist. And for the women who do? The privilege of being some dude's trophy who he doesn't respect is not a privilege I'm interested in.

Whatnow? The possibility of future love and sex means you can have a boring personality? Wouldn't the whole 'boring personality' thing sort of detract from the possibility of falling in love?

BItch please, move to Brooklyn or get a roommate. For someone who seems to be good at math, she doesn't seem to have a real grip on a what a responsible rent/income ratio is.

Hrm. Well the food in that picture contrasts sharply with the place but it doesn't look like enough pasta to ME. I would need to either have seconds or forget the stupid little square plate and munch it straight from the pot.
