I’ve been thinking (here, a couple of times) about my niece. She was born in Guatemala and adopted as a baby by my Chinese brother. Her name is Chinese. Her family is Chinese. Her culture is Chinese. I think she was even head of her school’s Asian-American group. On top of that, since she’s visually sort of smallish…

In my opinion, ethnicity isn’t something one can really move in and out of physically or mentally.
I was creeped out by the guy Peggy was having her career discussion with at her home, and I could not figure out why at first . Then I remembered, he played the guy in the cowboy costume who tried to sexually assault Kelly on the original 90210. I watch too much TV.
Thank you. The former punk in me only knows this as the sign for "circle pit." Which I was really hoping J-Lo and Streep were about to initiate.

What the hell are you talking about? Catholics not only believe in science, and teach it, a Catholic priest came up with the big bang theory. I am so sick and tired of Jezebel's complete ignorance and biogty against Catholicism. It's hard to take them seriously about anything anymore. I'm not even a practicing…
God didn't want us to know the diaphragm failed and we're a complete accident, so God made up a nice, romantic story to tell us about how and why we exist.
It's not if you are/were a practicing Catholic. I went to a super creepy Opus Dei school and even those nut jobs taught evolution.
Many of those girls wouldn't have made it to college anyway, quite honestly. The military targets poor neighborhoods because, honestly, the promise of a steady paycheck beyond that of the local Wal-mart is enticing. For a girl who didn't have many options anyway, marrying a military guy presents a certain type of…
OF COURSE YOU CAN'T CHANGE A FUCKING DIAPER IN THE MIDDLE OF A RESTAURANT.
Easy solution: don't wear thongs.
We also did a "sports" day. I went as an underwater basket weaver. I'm still so so proud of that costume...
At one place where I worked, one of the managers got the brilliant idea to cut the dishwasher a few hours early when it slowed down, assuming the servers could just do the dishes when they had downtime.
They wouldn't be in the same exact position under a % of sales model. They'd be making guaranteed money. The idea that they'll just suddenly stop caring about service is also complete bullshit. You know what tables I took the best care of? Large parties where I knew I was getting an automatic gratuity. Why? Because I…
Pointing out that women have very little, if anything, to gain from falsely reporting a rape is not actively agreeing with the idea that her allegations must be true simply because they were made. They were instead a series of questions to legitimately try and understand what kind of person would lie about something…
Sheesh, people's sad lives sure are on display in this thread. For what it's worth, I totally feel you. Lots of people aren't into it, even, GASP, MEN! That some people can't reconcile such a reality is just heartbreaking — so eager to snark at such a thought = huge red flag, mental status on display. It's tempting to…
I see a twist like in "The Usual Suspects" coming when the homeowner remarks to the confused officer who has just let the feline burglar outside, "Cat? I don't own a cat."
I see it wasn't a cat burglar.
I wouldn't listen to a goddamn thing Rachel Ray said about tipping. Anyone else remember $40 A Day on which she would routinely calculate "tax and tip" and the tip would end up being somewhere around 7-10%?
That's not really what it's about though, it's a medical school. Do you see nurses, doctors, or tech's wearing similar clothes? No... Most of these girls (and guys) spend a lot of their class time in actual medical environments and are expected to look professional. It's not sexist..it's just saying "hey this is a…
