This position of this article seems to be to really question if there are exploitative practices in the sex industry. THERE ARE EXPLOITATIVE PRACTICES IN ALL INDUSTRIES. One can be sex positive, pro-porn and still believe that porn actors and actresses can be treated really bad. Do you believe the porn industry is…

I actually knew someone who worked for one of those puppy mill-type porn companies here in Florida. Their agent seemed to be a bit better equipped and had an idea of the industry. He paid for gym memberships and personal training, rent and had a driver on tap to get the girls to and from the crash pad to the shoot. I…

The problem is not that she’s a white person leading an NAACP chapter. The problem is that she’s a white person who seemingly lied about being black and then headed an NAACP chapter.

I really wanted to love it, but I didn’t. It was more depressing than funny to me. I’m not really the target audience, though. I think if you’re older, and/or you’ve been through a divorce, you could relate more to the characters. It just made me sad for my mom.

Real actual picture from Candy’s wedding. You’re welcome.

I’m glad you guys have boundaries and are okay with this.

Nope. Best practices for suicide reporting recommend not using “committed,” which sounds like a crime or, to religious communities, like a sin, and “kill yourself” is just insensitive, crude, and poorly phrased. “Died by suicide” is the phrasing recommended by mental health professionals and the American Foundation…

I really hate it when self righteous internet warriors start abuse campaigns against the parents of dead children. When you’ve lost a child, you can talk. Otherwise, “there but for the grace of god...” and STFU.

Her article was straight garbage, but that’s a side point. A series of articles picking apart her essay, making her look a fool, would have done much more to ruin her reputation than to turn her into a martyr for MRAs and other women-against-feminism types. They shot themselves in the foot on this one.

Jesus, such a dumb ass thing to do. I just don’t see any reason to make a Title IX complaint just because Kipnis wrote a hilariously bone-headed essay. (Yes, Kipnis, schools are cracking down on such relationships and it’s a good thing.)

My terror over messing up my makeup resulted in several photos with me doing this:

We both WEPT, as we knew we would, and it was one of the reasons we arranged to marry in a completely private ceremony (with only the officiant, and photogs there as witnesses). We both had hankies in hand bc we knew it would be a weepy mess. Miraculously my makeup survived (one of the main reasons I got lash…

Right there with you girl:

I did not cry. I did, however, start to have one hell of a panic attack once it was time for me to walk down the aisle. As I started to wheeze and get dizzy, my father (who was walking me down the aisle) looked at me and just grinned.

I am that person too. I had an acquaintance die of liver failure due to overuse of Tylenol. That stuff is serious.

It’s not totally clear from the article but part of the rationale for switching off between Tylenol and Motrin is that one (Tylenol) is hard on your liver and the other (Motrin) can be hard on your kidneys. By switching back and forth, you’re taking less of either of them in any 24-hour period.

If you're one of just a couple of people leaving at a time, then yes, it does only take a minute or two for a bag-check. However, if you're a closing staff of 10-15 people, the procedure is that you finish "closing duties" as a group, then clock out/gather any personal belongings, THEN wait by the (locked) front door…

This came up on Kotaku a while back, where Gamestop were doing the same thing. And in the comments, tons of people were doing exactly what they're doing in the thread below - "oh, it only takes a moment, I don't see why these minimum wage poorly treated employees are complaining about being made to wait, unpaid, until…

I've worked in retail plenty and I think the issue that the threads below have been popping about isn't that it just takes a minute to check your bag, but that the stores are nickel and diming you, paying you below poverty wages that are measured out by the minute while you're on the clock, but are perfectly willing…
