I’m a guy and I used Secret antiperspirant for YEARS. It lasted beyond all day and I liked the powder-fresh scent.

I know a couple of people who use secret. Same strength as men’s stuff yet easier on skin and not as scented. There is probably a male brand equivalent but a lot of women’s products work on men and arent as aggressive smelling.

I am an asshole.

Everyone at my high school had to take a civics and a current events class to graduate. We had heated discussions about political issues well before we turned 18. I’m guessing this isn’t the norm?

I wish I could have been apolitical at 18.

I respect your opinion but I have a problem with the fact that by the time she was 18- it would have been simple to look up what you need to know (if the candidate shares your core values) on the internet.

“If you’re not a liberal when you’re 20, you have no heart. If you’re not a conservative when you’re 40, you have no head.”

It’s nice when people talk about how fiscally conservative their policies are and then when you point out that free birth control prevents expensive health care and welfare costs down the line, for people they don’t want reproducing anyway, or how free/cheap public housing for the homeless drives down spending for…

“Here’s the thing about being 18 or 19 years old and voting in your first election: it’s difficult to play political catch-up, to know the stories and backstories and back-backstories of not only candidates and issues, but also shifts within parties.”

Searching for it...

The title of this post is a little misleading. Murrow’s heading up a government agency is a bit different from him using his position as an individual journalist to spread propaganda, as the title kind of implies. The USIA’s role was public knowledge, and was well understood at the time. Also, we were in a war of…

How about showing how much you owed?

Yeah, because clear cutting forests to plant the veggies you eat is doing wonders for the environment

Radical notion: Don’t wear painful shoes that destroy your feet and other parts.

Did anyone listen to the This American Life recently with a woman describing her life after her genitals were mutilated in childhood? It’s a devastating piece but just so well done. She talks about confronting her mother who had the procedure done to her daughter even though she had also gone through it. It’s so…

I’m sticking to my Mac computers for the foreseeable future, because I both need the tech AND I really love OS X.

If you want an easy melty mac and cheese, make a batch of pimento cheese, a big one. No, bigger than that. Eat a shit ton of it with crackers or on white bread, because it’s horse racing season, and put the rest in the fridge.
The little bit you have leftover (I TOLD YOU TO MAKE MORE!) boil up some pasta, drain the…

You’re the kind of person who makes me not want to wear heels. “Don’t judge yourself by that shit” but then you go on about judging “silly chicks” not being “fucking bosses” in heels.

Can I ask the ladies of lifehacker, why wear high heels since they’re not good for you?

Sure would be nice to see LA partake in this by finding a way to re-route the 110 freeway that cuts downtown in half. Downtown is surrounded by freeways on 4 sides (I-5, I-10, US 101, and 110, completely cutting it off from the rest of the city. The latest revitalization of the LA river will be welcomed, but we need…
