So if we make our choices with our money, isn't it the information from pieces like this that allow us to make an informed decision?

An unpaid internship leads can often give you the first steps needed for a successful career. Models can't generally model forever and they have to make money now somehow. I think a unpaid internship gives you a lot more down the road.

I think a lot of it comes down to how unregulated the industry is and how awful it can be for young girls.

I'm kind of glad they posted it, if only as a reminder that there is always another side to the story. It was worded in a way that at first you're thinking there is no possible way this is okay and that child needs to be taken away, but then you realize that even though it was a mistake it was something that could…

So does four days in the hospital not count as seriously injured? I suppose it doesn't have to, but I was curious if that part of the video was just missed or if the author feels that extended hospitalization doesn't count.

I imagine the leotards are much better in the heat than a lot of other options, it is dance-wear after all. The tu-tus might keep in some heat, but they don't appear to be wearing tights or anything.

What a lot of people don't understand is that everything that happens to and around you is there in your brain. You don't really have the connections to recall it as regular memories, but it is still how your brain makes connections and makes sense of the world. Everything from the language used to the way people…

Wasn't that such an evil promotion?

Glad to know you know exactly why everybody does everything. Can we stop grouping everybody together like this please? I have known many people with thick frames and they all have their own reasons for using them. When you start to pre-judge and make assumptions off of one choice you stop seeing people as individuals.

Yet another reason we should just let go of the whole hipster label all together. If you find someone or something pretentious, say it that way, or try to pinpoint why something or someone bothers you. The whole hipster thing has become this big judgmental bubble people use to label a whole slew of products and ideas…

I've heard so many generalizations regarding Pinterest lately, but it really is what you make it. I only follow individual boards (not people) that just have the stuff I want to look at. And I, of course, primarily use it to collect and sort ideas and inspiration. If you search for the things that matter to you and…

All I could think about when I read this article was about how Captive Media has already done this so much better. I'm glad you posted this because I didn't remember the company name or where I had seen it. Theirs uses sensors above the stream so no equipment comes into direct contact with the urine, plus the idea of…

While pointing out that you think certain things look ridiculous is one thing, the tone of this article is just too much. "You will look like a giant asshole". It's just so judgmental and rude. If you want to give people a reality check and point out that things look silly to you or that other people might look at…

Sadly, it probably wouldn't go that way. This is being pushed through by the people with all the money and power and it serves to give them more money and power. And it's all done in as way that makes average joe hardly aware of whats happening. They aren't going to let go of it very easily once it comes about. And…

How old do you mean? 5¼" disks were introduced in the mid 70s. They were quickly used for just about everything, so I can't imagine a child or teen "growing up" carrying the larger format around in a pocket or purse. The smaller disks came in the late eighties, and was probably the most likely one to carry around…

I'm confused about how the LDS has anything to do with any of this at all.

But in that he was playing a character. What's better is his role in big bang theory as evil Wil Wheaton.

I want 25 pairs of fuzzy socks to arrive on my doorstep in just a few days. We can't have Prime here in Alaska, so I have to settle for super saver or actually pay money for shipping. Sad face.

Who knows if they are even adjusting for local time zones. I live in the middle of Alaska, where the options are very,very limited. We shop online a LOT. If the company is based in the East 9pm is around 5 here and 6 on the west coast, which means for a large portion of customers could mean they are just getting home…

That is not the issue though. I didn't read the linked article, but according to this post she is suing Toys R Us because she paid them extra to assemble it. You have a very good point, but it doesn't exactly apply. I mention this mainly because I feel that manufacturing defect is a much different issue.
