You’re not a moron. It’s perfectly ok to ask the questions that you are asking. I think what’s getting lost here is context. We’re discussing men sending unsolicited dick pics to women, without discussing the broader environment women have to navigate. Unsolicited dick pics don’t occur in a vacuum, they are just one…

The hyperlink for “formaldehyde-releasers” brings you to a spectacularly unhelpful abstract for an article behind a paywall. In terms of cosmetics, methylene glycol, the main component of antifreeze, is what they are talking about. I’m not convinced that there is enough formaldehyde (or -releasers) to do you harm.…

That was my first thought too.

I know, right? My siblings and I didn't misbehave in social settings because it was not allowed. And we weren't eager to find out what the consequences for misbehavior were.

I find at most Subways, once I tell them to hold the tomato, they'll give me extra cucumber or green pepper. Unless the owner is there working as well, then I don't get anything. Which is fine, nobody needs to lose their job over my aversion to tomatoes.

Well, Kinja must be broken, cuz I don’t see your post history. And I will stand behind Ladyheatherlee here, because the gaslighting you are engaging in here is uncalled for and frankly pretty dumb. Ladyheatherlee has not made any accusations that I can see. G. asserts that A must be false, because “most likely” B…

I was all set to rebut this, and defend Ladyheatherlee’s perfectly reasonable and polite responses to your somewhat belligerent posts, and then it twigged:

That was priceless.

I’m 42 and I’m still wondering when the “now you are a grown-up” stage kicks in. I’m beginning to suspect that there is no such thing as a “grown-up”.

I'm willing to try it, as long as it's not a super fat brush. I find those tend to be a bit globby, at least at my skill level. ;)

<sigh> As it happens, when I finally stopped growing, at the age of 18, I was 5’10” and I weighed, you guessed it, 125 pounds. There was nothing unhealthy about me. And I hope everyone here understands this: The fashion industry uses girls, like I was, like my sister and cousins, who happen to be freakishly tall. We…

I know right? You're supposed to throw away your mascara every 6 months anyways, because bacteria. And clumping. The $30 ones aren't any different from the $10 ones. I've been using Lash Blast for a couple of years, it's works just fine for me. I'll try the Flamed Out, though, it sounds good.

If you're skin is like mine, you may have a chemical sensitivity to the fragrances Lush uses. Probably because they supersaturate their products with it. Bleargh! I'm with you on the ingredient list. I refuse to buy anything for my skin and hair that doesn't have a complete list. I have to avoid things with edible…

That's awful, I'm sorry you and your sis had to deal with that growing up.

I just caught the end of some docu about Ms. Rubenstein and Ms. Arden last night on PBS. I'm sorry I missed the whole thing, as those two seemed to be quite the characters.

I hope fathers understand that what they appear to value in women impacts their daughters/other women in their lives deeply

If it just says 'alcohol', it's very likely ethanol, as that's the common vernacular for the ethanol we drink. I wouldn't worry about it as far as skincare goes; it's either there as an astringent in toner, to solubize oils sitting on the surface so they can be removed; or it's there in smaller amounts to stop other…

Aaah, the good ol' days before safety standards. It's WHMIS in Canada. The horror stories I have heard from older scientists...like the lady on the fourth floor with nerve damage in her legs, from handling acrylamide(for gels), without gloves. <shudders>

I understand the laptop being ruled inadmissable, I don't understand why the jury wasn't given the option of finding him guilty of a lesser charge, like manslaughter. Frankly, they don't need the laptop evidence; the fact that she was beyond blackout drunk and he admitted to having sex with her should signal what…
