Eh it goes both ways too. If you’re a guy and you’re particularly nice to a woman, it gets taken as “you obviously want to bone me”. I don’t know whether to feel mortified or sad or both. I offered to help a college girl at my old apartment complex with her groceries and was responded to with “No, I don’t want to have…

How Starbucks thought this was gonna go.

Background: I'm an alumni advisor at the local and national level for one of the country's largest fraternities.

i mean i can't really take you seriously either considering your username is a disney channel show.

It's heartbreaking that we have to yell for help on a crowded street when someone is attacking us. It's heartbreaking that we have to make people understand that we're being harassed/assaulted and not merely in a "domestic" situation they should avoid.

Great piece Jia.

Good article. That is all I have to say. Actual interviews, actual people, actual examples with fact checking and a deliberate rejection of sensationalism. This is an excellent counterexample to Erderly's article, which was a pretty good example of terrible journalism.

It's funny to me how people argue so vociferously that they hate retail and blah blah, but then they say they don't want to pay those people better.

haha, mine too. i've worked in my current store for almost two years and i probably get asked this almost every day i'm there. and of course you always have the ones that try to argue and say, "but the sign said!!!" no. it didn't. you can't read. no one can read. that's really what i've learned the most working in…

Oh please, stop it with bullshit euphemisms like "he should aspire to do better". If you really thought it's a writers's prerogative to put only what he/she wants in his/her books, you wouldn't be saying that they should "aspire to do better". At least be fucking honest and say that you DON'T think that writers should…

Just a side note to this people are awful post...that Tweet you credited to The Academy was actually originally tweeted by Evan Rachel Wood...and The Academy plagerized it because they couldn't come up with an original tribute? How about a proper credit from Jezebel?

See Sandytaco's reply to you because that is exactly how I feel as well. You have every right not to like what an author is doing but the author has absolutely no obligation to respond to your criticism. They're his books. He can write them however he wants and put in or leave out whatever he wants, for reasons that…

I know that doesn't need to be said, but I am saying it anyway. Robin Williams had a bravery few people will ever know. He used his own torment to bring humor and joy to millions. He fought his demons long enough to be there for his family and raise his beautiful baby daughter into a wonderful young woman. He…

Unpopular opinion alert:

You know what I think? I think anyone who's never stood and stared suicide in the face should shut the fuck up. I think anyone who hasn't cried themselves to sleep and wake in the morning only to find fresh tears are already falling should sit the fuck down. I think anyone who doesn't understand what it's like to be…

He literally plays the exact same character in every single movie: bald badass who has to right a wrong/defend a child by brutally destroying the bad guys through cars/guns/fists. And damnit if they aren't all awesome

Listen, lady. It's like when black people call themselves the n word. Years ago I introduced it into my regular vocabulary, having purposefully decided to take the power of the word back. It used to shock people I know, now nobody even bats an eye. So you can lecture all you want about misogyny and such, but if people…

Oh god, no. No. I got that card for my mum once. Oh god. Childhood ruined. RUINED.

This is fucking madness.
