+1 family is supposed to be your safe space to go until you are old enough and can deal with the world on your own. They are supposed to build you up so that you can be happy confident and carefree despite what the outside world may think or how the outside world may treat you. If she thinks life is bad for ugly kids…

I totally disagree with Julia Baird. Your parents are supposed to be a soft place to land. “Telling it like it is” will hurt that child and harm their self esteem. So what if the child is unattractive, they’ll figure it out in the long run but they will come armed with parents who instilled in them solid confidence…

Studies show that you are 45x more likely to kill a household member with that machete than an intruder.

Screw separate beds, let’s talk about totally different wings of a house.

Gah. Kill it with fire.

Game has a tutorial—they’re dumbing things down! Game doesn’t have a tutorial—bad, lazy devs! Damned if you do, damned if you don’t.

I’m super cheap. Swimming lessons are a fraction of the cost, and I only have to provide a suit, goggles and a towel? SOLD.

Do they have to wear contact lenses to have the same eye color? For me, worrying about the texture of hair, beyond being all the same style, goes that far.

Are you seeing the picture of her hair? Do you have any clue the amount of time and effort it takes to straighten that, and the damage it causes?

Well, Texas does take the cuckoo bananas to whole other level when it comes to cheerleaders. Remember the case of the mother who tried to hire a hitman to kill another cheerleader’s mother so her daughter would be too distraught to be a cheerleader, and bananas hitmom’s daughter would make the team. Holly Hunter…

True story - my mom and grandma have curly hair. My grandma had always gotten shit at jobs for her hair.

Someone on the Starbucks Canada Facebook page suggested that Starbucks ought to make a Remembrance Day themed cup. I replied with something simple like “why do you want to…

Remember kids: Black Lives Matter is a bunch of whiners who are looking for reasons to be offended. The real oppression is a lack of Christmas iconography on your coffee cups.
