Yeah it’s normal. It’s less about the gifts than the celebration and getting everyone together.

I only learned a few years ago that some people think a shower for babies after #1 is gauche. Baby showers in my family and at least in the Caribbean community are for celebrating the baby, so it’s not limited to the first baby. Maybe you don’t ask for a crib for the 2nd one, but you still have a celebration for the…

strong contender for Burn Of the Year:

Alicia Keys can get away without makeup because, well, she’s really attractive.

Oh that totally explains why he raped, murdered, and disemboweled them!

At least here in the UK I’ve never been finger printed or had DNA taken so far. Are those ID cards mandatory?

And only about 1% are Yazidis and Christians. These are the most vulnerable groups. They also pose the least potential threat to the U.S. The Obama administration even admits genocide is being committed against these groups. Why are 99% of the refugees Sunni Muslims? Maybe Christians and Yazidis are not applying…

Believing Harwood would try to be inappropriate with the female student, Student B followed and ended up restraining Harwood.

I’m going to have to disagree with you on that one. It sort of justifies it. I’m not saying she should go free, but 10 years sounds about right to me

I read the piece by Buzzfeed the other day. Although quite a long article, I was stricken and gob smacked at what this young woman went through during her childhood into adulthood. It doesn’t justify what she did but what does it say about society that she thought this was her only way out.

The Gawker properties don’t believe in copyeditors—they don’t employ them. It’s unfortunate; I see grammatical mistakes all over every Gawker site and even when the mistakes grossly distort the meaning of an article, as in this case, I don’t bother to comment anymore. There are mistakes all over, say, NBC’s website,…

No, you a professional and should be expected to adhere to certain standards. Proofreading your work is expected and you attacking commentators for pointing it out is completely unprofessional.

There are teenagers and children who follow the Kardashians on social media. Why do you think the very young Kylie and Kendall have become so popular lately? Many of these minors who look up to the Kardashians are genuinely ignorant about this type of advertising.

I have PCOS and, thus, higher androgen levels than the average woman.

Vanity Fair Confidential’s episode about Lou Pearlman was crazy. He scammed investors his entire career. One of his scams included blimps

I gave a woman $300 in april to give me a corgi in august and now she is not returning my calls

Women buy condoms and women’s razors, in addition to being significantly more expensive than men’s, also get used over a MUCH higher percentage of the body. I shave once or twice to every 15 times my husband does and I still spend more money on shaving supplies than he does.

Technically the ACA does provide free birth control, though there are some loopholes.
