Putting the lid down at night means that someone might sit down not realizing it’s closed and pee all over the closed seat and not the floor. I’m not saying that this has happened to me, just that there’s the real potential here of ruining someone’s middle of the night piss.

I’m sure I’m not the only one who read the title and then found that they couldn’t really read it because their head was filling up with all sorts of angry buzzing counter-points. Luckily, I did scan a sentence that made it clear that it was a parody. Funny how that can make me feel both relieved and like a fool at…

Are you the kind of person who thinks there’s only one explanation for everything? Similar events can have very different reasons behind them. Public figures get hacked and national institutions and private companies, no one expects that the reasons behind every hack are the same.

I really wish there was legislation that requires the celebrity product promoters to actually use these products for a minimum of 30 days before posting an advertisement. Isn’t it false advertising when they say “i love using...” and yet they’ve never tried it?

You know who lies about having a degree in architecture:

Yes, white people have white. I say, in this particular case, that should be enough for us. We’ve had a lot of fun for many centuries pointing out how other people are not white by calling them coloured. We’re the ones that have excluded ourselves from the party by insisting that we don’t have a colour. This is our…

It’s a way to put the “people” part first and diminish the coloured part as a qualifying adjective that is equated with being treated and seen as sub-human. Since whiteness doesn’t diminish humanness in anyway, there’s no point in saying “people of no-colour” as a substitute for “white people”. Also saying “non-white…

Was it the one where Tavi Gevinson was a guest author for a week and she posted about the fashion at the BET awards and made a stupid off hand comment about how she didn’t know what the BET awards were and didn’t care to find out? She was 15 and the editors accused everyone of bullying her. Didn’t MizJenkins get…

I think this story is particularly uncomfortable when people don’t have any other conception of justice other than punishment or consequences. How do you right a wrong? If he had been convicted and served time, would the slate be wiped clean? Would it be ok to support the movie then? I don’t think if he was a…

It’s also a necessary myth for the natural birthing industry, which advises women to avoid OB/GYNs and refuse or delay medical interventions during pregnancy and birth.

IKEA sells full sleeve smock bibs. Amazing! Plus as they get older and refuse to wear bibs just use them for painting.

This is a complete aside, but when I hear the name Kendall, I often think the person is saying “Ken-Doll”. Sort of a lucky coincidence because I don’t think the comparison between the two is that far off.

I don’t think that a separate study area is necessary - people can always book private rooms for study if needed. However, I have an issue with those in a position of privilege (white/male) filing anti-discrimination suits against minorities/disadvantaged groups because space has been set aside for them. It's just so…

They do reveal their argument, they’re going to force the After School Satan club to demonstrate the sincerity of its program. It will be an effective strategy if the Satanic temple does not go beyond arguing that “if they can have it, I should have it too” or speaks too strongly against the legitimacy of religious…

when you have kids your life changes in such a profound way that it’s like stepping into another reality without the option to go back. You’ll never know if it was the best decision or the worst or equivalent because you’ll never know what life would have been like if you didn’t become a parent. The work itself is…

It’s not a war if he calls it justice. It’s not a trade negotiation if he calls it a boardroom deal. He’s going to turn the whole thing into a reality show and have these flashy news conferences all the time so that people only hear what he wants them to hear. It’s going to be great! America will be great!

or the only thing keeping you together...

For some people having a lineage is very important. If this was her only daughter I could imagine that she may feel that her family will be lost. Hence why we have the saying “an heir and a spare” - keeping the family line going to important to a lot of people.

Are guns sacred to Americans? Not the right to possess guns, but guns themselves. It seems like people are more afraid that they will get confiscated than they are afraid of what guns can do.

You’re forgetting Freddy Mercury
