Thanks, I didn't realize this was a common issue and assumed there was some euphemization going on. Also, I'm a white girl with sallow skin but I TOTALLY get the same problem, if I so much as touch a zit or get a scratch on my face, it leaves a dark scar for months and months. Sign me up, I had no idea there was a…

Not only that, but if she's standing next to that map, she's not even inside the subway yet, they only have those outside where you swipe. I don't believe she ever went in!!

yeah, was just going to add that to the list. Link for anyone who wants: http://www.businessinsider.com/cessna-crash-n…

Because, yanno, Teh Gayz are all pedophiles and we have to protect the children!

so much yes. i emailed the help people 2 days ago about this, and aside from telling me to resize my browser window for the scroll issues, they ignored it. maybe if a bunch of us keep complaining?

replied to wrong person...

This morning I found myself waiting to take a dump because my cat was not yet finished drinking out of the toilet. There are clearly so many things wrong with my life.

already exists, including a handy carabiner hole for when you're on the crag!

Speaking of Badvertising, has anyone seen the annoying new Seamless ads? I see them on the subway, they're pretty crappy.

Hey, at least it wasn't "dusky"

Scary thing is, she DID take something off before she left the house, and you can't imagine how atrocious the getup looked before she did that!

Well, it includes Indians, but also lots of other South Asian nationalities as well. I wasn't sure if it specifically referred to those growing up or living in the US, or outside their "native" country, but according to Wikipedia it seems to be a blanket term for everyone. So there ya go.

Desi (or sometimes "deshi") is a descriptor for South Asians

Never mind the horrible low rise on those leggings, I don't want to work out in anything with that many seams! Summer is coming, chafing is bad enough without extra seams!

I am continually amazed to see people refuse to view Asians in America as actually, you know, typical Americans. I mentioned to a classmate that I'm sleeping with an Asian guy, and later over drinks showed her a photo of him, and she was all "Oh! He looks normal, I thought he was Asian Asian." You know, like I was…

Absolutely at risk. While tenure protects you from being fired "without cause", most professors these days are not tenured, and adjuncts or instructors or junior professors are still hired on contract bases, so would risk not being renewed. Also, even tenured professors have tenure review every 3-5 years, and tenure…

exactly, that's why I'm appalled — I pay less than that for a one bedroom apartment, and they want $1500 for a single room. A, what asshole landlord is charging that much, and B, who can afford that shit?

YES! It's so great, I forwarded it all over, it totally made me happy and encapsulated so many things I felt about it, albeit not as strongly because I'm American.

Okay, but $1500 for a single bedroom? FFS! I have an apartment all to myself in Brooklyn (no, not in Greenpoint or Williamsburg, but still) and it's huge and I pay less than that!
