I was 3 years ahead of this trend... so I guess I was basically out of fashion. *shrug* Nothing new there.

As a European I have always found this bizarre. We are used to having the producer protected rather than retailers. So we have products with names such as "grated hard cheese" rather than Parmesan, and so on. The generic names aren't a turn off for Europeans, but I suppose US retailers wouldn't agree.

I do too. By not honoring these food trademarks and origin protection laws, not only are we shorting and misleading consumers here, but it really is a middle finger to these countries' culinary traditions and everyone who has worked so hard (over the course of centuries, in some cases) to make the best possible…

I'm not black or male, but I would think black guys could use a reprieve from their stereotype. Surely trying to be "macho" or "gangsta" 24/7 can be exhausting, especially when you just want to take the kids to the playground and get some groceries. The role they are expected to play out doesn't even allow for these…

This, right here, is why we NEED allies.

unless Adele has been eating her cigarettes while they're still lit, there is no way she ruined her voice so quickly. I mean it took Whitney years for crack to really reduce her and she could still sing. that story is absolutely untrue.

I feel like it would be so exhausting to do anything with the Knowles clan. Every moment having to be aware of your hat being at a just-so jaunty angle, staring off into the distance trying to appear deep and complex but, y'know, relatable. On my vacations I'm pretty much focused on whether wherever we're at has…

Now, OK, I'm not Christian and I don't know a WHOLE lot about Jesus. I do know a few things, though: The followers during his lifetime gave away their possessions to follow him. He gave away his healing for free as an affront to the temple priests who charged for the same "miraculous" works. Also, he trashed the…

The fuck is wrong with you? Even apple pie from Micky D's is delicious.

Think of it this way, with all those carbs and fat, it can shorten the lifespan of the more conservative members.

^^^Yes! I couldn't agree more with passionaria. I created a burner account just so I could star that comment.

To jump off @passionaria, I am the opposite - fairly healthy, eat well, and try to stay active. Out of the blue I DID get pre-eclampsia and while everything turned out well, my baby was born 6 weeks early and I was in the hospital for weeks. My doctor kept telling me that it could have happened to a marathoner. It…

"Yes, because the biggest and most dangerous scandal the Kennedys have ever had with women was definitely Taylor Swift buying some nearby property."

If my boyfriend's family tries to do a whole "What are you thankful for this year" I can now say "That Ariana Grande and Jessie J aren't RUINING the boy is mine". I mean, can you imagine the screechy chaos that would occur when they hit the point where they have a run battle? ughhhhhh

Taylor Swift dating your son is your biggest fear?

So Maria doesn't like young women who are nice, polite, gorgeous, and have good hearts? (OMG I sound like Adultasaur right now lol)

I love seeing "Director Angelina Jolie" instead of "mother of six," "Brad Pitt's longtime love," "former wild child," etc. She's great, I'm looking forward to seeing this film.

Love it! Great dress, great makeup, great hair. Kinda boring shoes.

Jesus H., whose bright idea was it to send a pregnant lady to the opening of a children's hospice?! Like NO SHIT she was totes emosh. :-|
