Most 20 year olds in their shoes devote their free time to booze and sex

Agreed. Their parents probably paid for the initial start-up costs. It's a great idea, and they worked hard, but let's not pretend they weren't privileged from the start.

I've suggested this on a few io9 threads, but I think the whole Talisa thing was supposed to be a message to book readers from GRRM. There has long been a theory that the girl Robb marries in the books, Jeyne Westerling, was spirited away by the Blackfish while pregnant with Robb's child. This theory is almost…

Talisa's murder was graphic, yes. Gratuitous, yes. But in the book, Catelyn murdered Walder Frey's young son, who, from the description, sounds like he has Down's Syndrome (though of course they don't call it that).

he probably still smokes. no more pussy, tho.

I wish the headline was a little less glib. The tone is almost like it's funny an STD was the cause of his cancer. My dad died from HPV+ throat cancer and wish Jezebel would be more sensitive. There was a previous post referring to his marathon cunnilingus sessions —it's just offensive to make light of like this.

I'm guessing that this is how he knew (see below) and that we should pay him the respect of at least contemplating that a man in his condition, with his access and money, may have pushed to answer the question, "how did I get this". And that he and his doctors may know more about his personal condition than your…

Dear Geoffrey Miller: Don't presume to lecture anyone on "willpower" while issuing mea culpas featuring the word "impulsive."

Sometimes I think people look up the pettiest things they can find just to be bitchy to Doug Barry. So he misspelled a town in South Africa? I'm so tired of the mean girl gang-ups, it's just plain cruel and immature.

Or elephants, or apes, or lions or wolves - all have matriarchal societies and are considered some of the most revered/intelligent animals. Good grief... is it so much to ask these people to Google before they speak??

These are the same folks that probably think Evolution is bunk and the earth is not "That Old."

And lions, which are kind of like my house - I run down the food, and the male shows up when there's meat around.

In most animal species, monogamous two-person pairings don't exist. Guess Fox is saying we should get rid of traditional marriage. Can I choose to live like an elephant? All female groups (or with occasional submissive males) who live communally and only use alpha males as sperm donors?

I hope Fox News's advertisers agree, because I think they just told 40% of the families in America to spend their money elsewhere.

Recently, Republican Louie Gohmert told a woman whose fetus had the same condition that she should have carried it to term "just in case." This is what the Republicans WANT. They WANT policies like El Salvador, and they won't be happy until they have them. Don't ever forget that.

I love how everyone is rambling on about how different Portia looks and no one bothered to mention Jason Bateman's face. (He is veering into some Rob Lowe in Behind the Candelabra territory) Or the fact that David Cross is about 50 lbs heavier or that it's been less than 10 years, but Steve Holt looks like he aged 25…

Why is she supposed to thank the jerk who knocked her house down just because he didn't kill her in the process?

Seriously, fuck both sides for turning this poor woman in to a flag to wave for their cause.

Let me just assure you that people did wash everyday. They just didn't submerge themselves in giant pools of water. Washing was more of a sponge bath with a small basin of water. When people "bathed whether they needed it or not" they meant a big tub and getting wet all over all at once. Most folks didn't have the…

In response to your last statement - why should she live up to your idea of beauty, particulary as she's offered a compelling reason for living up to her own?
