You're being ridiculous. Slavery is a system whereby some people are subjugated by others. They are forced to work for no pay and do not typically profit from or enjoy the fruits of their labors. Unless the person who controls the slave's fate decides otherwise, there is no limit on how long he or she can be forced to…

I don't know where you guys are, but here in North Jersey, the it feels downright balmy outside. It's still chilly, because temperatures are in the 50s, but this mild winter really is amazing. I was my usual SAD-cranky self due to lack of sunlight before the days started to get longer, but we have had very little to…

Hearted for the appropriate use of supporting quotes and the proper attribution thereof.

Right? That right there was classic. It's never too soon when the joke's actually funny.

Agreed. I've seen this done for a few different recipes now, and they all look REALLY good.

I can't tell you what to do, but I'm not seeing "forgive Chris Brown" on my schedule at any point in the next 85 years or so. He's a petulant juicebox who beat the snot out of his girlfriend and then sulked when people didn't immediately pat his head and tell him that everything was okay again. Fuck that guy.

Thank you! And now I can honestly say that I have liked a non-Shep Smith Fox News segment!

The first time I saw the P.S. 22 choir channel on Youtube, I started to cry. I was really overwhelmed by the fun and the joy I saw reflected in those children. The talent is also amazing, but its their spirit that gets me every.single.time.

True. Tom Cruise is the living embodiment of smarm. Ryan Reynolds doesn't quite press all my buttons, but he doesn't creep me out the way Cruise does.

How could tweeting this have seemed like a good idea? Even briefly?

I was a kid when she did this, and even I understood how instantly iconic this anthem was. My parents bought the CD of this performance, and since they never throw away anything they buy, I'm sure it's still somewhere around our house.

I thank god every day that web photography technology when I was in HS was still basically scanning and then uploading pictures via a super slow dial-up modem. And that I have either burned or lost most of the diaries I kept as a teenager. I probably would have crafted a post like this if the technology had been…

Hello, joke that was the best thing ever about middle school! My brother could make me laugh by saying those words after anything. I'm pretty sure that it didn't stop being funny to me, he just stopped saying it.

Maybe it's because I've never seen anything Jersey Shore related, but I find that JWoww person good-looking in every picture of her that I see, even though I never remember who she when I'm not looking at her. I'm sure the rumors about her plastic surgery are right, but she should stop now, while she still looks human.

Whoa. It's sad that somebody with such genuine talent never had any sort of support system to help her deal with the less appealing aspects of the entertainment industry. Famewhoring parents are the worst.

Used to be. I think I still have a bunch of stories on Fanfiction.net. Off to check it out!

Shall always be a Spuffy shipper (and a Spike Girl)!

Oh god, thank you for that gif.

I wanted Mulder/Krycek to happen SO BAD, and not just because it freed up my dream Scully/Skinner pairing!

Mantano is a great Android book app. I couldn't justify it when it was $8 (or nearly twice most other Pro ereader apps), but at this price, I'd be insane to pass it up! Thanks for the heads up, Lifehacker!
