I’m talking about pop music because that’s what this post is about. My personal tastes — or, for that matter, “good” music — are an entirely different thing.

Right? I mean, Coldplay isn’t my favorite band 4 life or anything, but “Viva La Vida” was a good song. “The Scientist” was a good song. I could go on. All they did wrong was stick around until they went out of fashion.

Except that it is super cool to hate on Coldplay right now.

What about roast beef on a bun a la Arby’s?

No. If somebody offered to make you a sandwich and proceeded to prepare a hot dog, you’d be confused. Therefore, hot dogs are not sandwiches.

I see what you’re saying, and my guess is that he effectively called her mother a whore but said it in a very elevated, Ivy league debate club kind of way. With something like that, you’re going to remember the insult, not the exact words somebody used to deliver it.

If you can gracefully accept a “no,” I think it’s okay to ASK somebody to swap to a middle seat so you can stay with your partner. Sometimes that’s going to be the swap that makes the most sense and is the easiest to coordinate.

The thing is, fetal alcohol syndrome normally only happens if the mother drinks heavily on a regular basis. It’s not something babies get because mom likes a beer with dinner, or even because mommy gets wasted a week before the pregnancy test comes back positive. If it was as easy to get as CDC is suggesting here, a…

Exactly. Gender equality does not only mean equality for the things we want to do.

I believe you’re right, and here’s a GQ article that goes to your point. The estimate is 38 male rape victims per day, and they get very little support. I don’t think the threat of rape is a reason not to have a draft that applies to both men and women.

Bah, this sounds dumb. And the idea Annette didn’t make Sebastian use a condom bothers me an immensely. She was naive, not stupid.

The comment is dismissed, not the commenter. The troll can continue repeating him or herself indefinitely. I don’t know how Kinja handles actual bans, but it’s different from dismissing individual comments.

It’s really rolling the dice. I got through with full-size contact solution a bunch, then somebody noticed and I had to toss the bottle :-(.

Does it help to realize you don’t think about whether other people are pooping or not, and therefore they probably aren’t worrying about whether you are? I’ve never had poop anxiety, but that type of reasoning helps my general social anxiety.

Sadly, Cruz supporters see the fact nobody can stand him as evidence he’s strong-minded and “doesn’t play Washington games.” They really don’t care that the evidence suggests he’s just a dick.

Her real first name is Susan, so probably she’s Sue in real life. But if anybody could pull off going around being called Stockard all the time, that would be the lady who could do it,

I might have been unclear — I absolutely think Amber was trying to imply he’s secretly gay/bi/whatever. (Though Kanye was being nasty to start with, so it’s not like Amber’s comment came out of nowhere.) The funny part to me is that he took this stupid petty comment from his ex and felt the need to refute it on…

Amber Rose is the new Coco Austin that way. Jez just decides these incredibly trashy women are heroes sometimes because literally anyone can feel superior to them. And also because this is the internet and even on a feminist-ish site, chicks that show off their boobs = pageviews.

Aww, thank you! I’m on day 9 of a 12-day snow break so I’m just trying to keep my head above water.

Hush, it’s totally fashion! You can tell because it doesn’t have any bright colors and he’s pretentious as hell about it!
