Growing up, I was conditioned to smile, be polite, make eye contact, answer people when they ask you a question, even though it was against my shy nature. I grew up in Iowa. When I hit puberty, I was conditioned to be careful who I make eye contact with, don't talk to just anyone on the street, watch who I'm nice…

@fridaphile is tequila's momma: But that's Helen Lovejoy.

@Betwixt: The funny thing is, that's not Megyn Kelly. It's Gretchen Carlson, a different blond Foxbot.

@Mrs. Beeton: YES. I have a feeling that the genetic pairing of two unrelated people with identical noses is far rarer than fraternal twins being born with different skin tones.

Ugh, this is ridiculous. Now I'm wondering if every time a biracial couple gives birth to twins there's a news story on how one twin is "black" and one twin is "white" just because they don't come out with the exact same skin color.

@Whole Broad: MPP virtual high-five!

I really want to know what her Master's degree is in! I'm about to start a Master's program for Public Policy, and I want to know how this is going to affect my underwear-dancing career prospects.

@sekushinonyanko: I was pretty sure Paris wasn't allowed makeup in jail. I remember when she walked out, all the tabloids were talking about how all she did was pinch her cheeks and hope for the best.

I've never been sent a dick pick via phone, but I've come across surprise dick while reviewing pictures from a party. I was with a few female friends in my college dorm at the time of discovery, and the reaction process went like this:

@karmasutra är svensk: I didn't get a rape connection at all either, but I did think it was disturbing when I saw it the first time. It's all about unwanted surgery, which is creepy enough, but making a rape connection seems to be reaching.

@nerdycellist: You are awesome. That is all.

Okay, I think it would be way too hard to change our spelling system, but I have to play devil's advocate here.

@nyc-caribbean-ragazza: She also slams Lady Gaga for being not pretty in the NYT Magazine article. "Pop stars are supposed to be pretty", she added.

@Not-Shattered: Fine, go ahead and comment on the habits of strangers on the internet if it makes you feel better. She did open that door for herself (only). But please don't do it under the guise of concern for anyone's health, or for any reason other than schadenfreude. All she's trying to say is that the fact…

@TheTeofTea: We all judge, but what she's saying is it's her body, her choice. It's none of anyone's business what she does with her body. I personally don't agree with her eating habits, but she's a stranger, so what do I care how she eats? I think this side of fat acceptance is really neglected on this site. …

Funny thing is, Sherry Shepherd practically forced me to take a picture with her once.

@ParkPlace: I know how you feel. I also have a racist dad, and I'm always arguing with him. Sometimes he gets it, sometimes he doesn't, and sometimes he gets it at the moment, then goes off on the same thing another time because he's already forgotten. And then there are the times when he shows remarkable insight…

@budholly101: I think she sounds like a combination of the loud drunk bitches outside my window at three in the morning and someone singing Canadianly.

@♥ dosido☮: Only one exurb district is responsible for her. My district is responsible for Keith Ellison, a progressive Democrat and the first Muslim in history to be elected to Congress. Please don't pin the craziness of one gross place on the entire state of Minnesota.
