Or, if you are in China—pretty much everyone who do not want to commute in from Inner Mongolia every day for work..

No idea. But Neo-Confucianism is getting pretty big in China these days, maybe the question is to check if the test-takes have been paying attention in philosophy class.

Whew, that’s honestly kind of weird to see direct Confucian ideals tested on a law exam there. I honestly though the PRC had abolished most Confucian thinking in favor of Soviet-style thought, so it’s funny to see that there.

Nope. As the logic follows, she should save her mother, and he should save his. If you’d like to be saved from a fire, have children or invest in a fire extinguisher.

She is now, because some producer gave her a treadmill and she said yes sir. Seriously, she is naturally thin, but not to the extent that she is now. She has never been over weight, but she has lost quite a bit of weight over her career, as did a lot of 90’s actresses, like Jennifer Aniston and Courtney Cox. The…

That’s not the same thing as happens to women actors. Chris Pratt was actually very overweight in medical terms (6’1, 300lbs, “Class II Obese”, very nearly in the “morbidly obese” category, according to Pratt, as flawed as the BMI system is). That isn’t like the already very thin SJP being told to lose weight. It’s…

I can’t be the only one who, when someone mentions the 90s, thinks it was only ten years ago. And then I redo the math and am like

Millenials, eh? Can’t live with them, can’t kill them because they are your kids.

23 years. 90s have been over for 15. They play Blink-182 on the Classic Rock stations here now.

Are we already talking about 1992 as ‘those days’?

It’s true, many people can’t manager their impulses and hear only what they want to hear - so I can see how some people would hear “a small amount of alcohol is fine” and think “I have free license from the CDC to drink as much as I can hold and my baby will be fine, THEY PROMISED.” (I work in customer service and am…

It’s not a debate.

That’s sort of part of their job. Doesn’t make it any less annoying though.

Might want to talk to a professional about those voices in your head.

Oh, ffs. This is why I don’t come to Jezebel much anymore. I came here against the voices in my head hoping not to be disappointed. “Prudishness” of western culture? Puh-leeze. Why must we return to the language that men have used forever to silence women speaking up about their objectification? Nobody wants to be a…

I don't care about this but her crotch is in the center of the ad. Let's not play dumb. Anyway, if they were to ban it it should be for being utterly boring.

I have a Native American name. I was born in BC, where people with names like “Sundance” were common, so I didn’t have a problem with it.

My sister and I (female) both have traditionally male names so we got a lot of Gillette razor samples as teens and congrats on “being a man!”

Awful childhood nickname thread?

I had more of the “unisex” name type problems. (I even received a draft notice at 18). My parents offered me the option of using my hebrew name, but NO. In the end I live and die by the spelling. (and just laugh off the unfortunate British slang connotation)
