My mother sold Avon and Tupperware, and did okay with it as far as I know—when my parents moved into their neighborhood it had just been built, so she was the first in the neighborhood to be selling them and it was a relatively easy/casual way to make money. I feel like the internet and social media (and general…

Shakeology is like Pyramid Scheme Lite in that it's 1) an okay product, though overpriced and 2) from what I can tell (I used to frequent weight loss forums where "beachbody coaches" or whatever ran rampant) you can get a small discount for signing up to be a "coach" without actually selling anyone anything or…

What *did* you interview for with them? I've worked with them (unless there's more than one org by the name…?) and they were totally clear about what I would do (phone canvassing, mostly.)

where does "abraham's boys" fit into all this

…are you 11

The recent Gunn article about how the fashion industry underserves fat women didn't impress me much for basically that reason. He harps on designers making clothes in prints and colors, saying they make larger people look like "parade floats." Like, sorry, maybe I want to wear a purple dress with some flowers on it!…

To me (as a fat person, if that matters…) the runner up collection is almost impossibly hideous, and the winning one is kinda dull but with several things I'd consider wearing.
So, YMMV.

Party cut, man! Party cut! It's just practical!
(I moved to Minnesota a few years ago, and I never thought I'd miss party cut pizza. But I do.)

Fries.
I'm from (northern) Illinois and I think I first had hushpuppies at 15 or 16 at a dive bar that had an all-you-can-eat fried walleye special. Otherwise I hadn't been exposed to them at all, and was only vaguely aware they existed. This was as a very adventurous kid and teen and having been to 30+ countries and a…

It was roughly as bad as I imagined, though worse in some ways (the em way she's trussed up) and not as bad in others (at least she got to kee her clothes on…? I guess?)
To me it's not really effective as a horror moment. It's somewhat scary, definitely stressful, but more gross and exploitative than anything.
My…

Well, just wheel Merle in.

I remember I thought those were legit because the School of the Art Institute is a legit art school in Chicago. It took me a while to realize "the art institutes" was some shady for-profit.

My ad at the bottom of the article is for DeVry. They must have heard their name, but weren't sure of the context…

I googled and it sounds… Pretty bad, but not as bad as it could be?

At the very least, bisexual; though I guess we don't know the feather duster's preferred pronouns, so it may remain a mystery forever.

He's European, not gay.

have to say I was more interested before I found out there's a (mechanical?) rape scene

She's in the top 50 of America's wealthiest "self-made" (not inherited or gotten through marriage) women. She's made a lot more selling diapers and lotion than she did making movies, which is mildly funny to me.

I saw a release of Beauty and the Beast in 3D and it was actually pretty cool, though I'm glad the showing was free for me. It was like watching a really, really well-made pop-up book or paper puppet show.

The screams? I only remember that happening one time, but I was so busy being annoyed by the jailers that it didn't faze me.
