It has something to do with your eyes looking larger if you have double-lidded eyelids, which may have come down from the North, where the seat of power in China was for quite a while.

What's interesting is that it's actually quite hard to grow the female plants, which are the ones that are actually worth smoking. If they actually managed to grow female plants, then that is pretty amazing considering the climate/amount of sunshine.

I admit, I was one of the people who was disappointed in Girls because it was such a white view of a world that I happened to know was not all white, but oh. goodness. gracious. people need to fuck off about Lena Dunham. Even if you don't like her show, it positively gives me conniptions the amount of people willing…

I bet you see what you want to see. And when you want to see a dickwad "winning", you don't watch past minute two of this video.

After a month or so of being unemployed, I've realized I've begun to play this head game with HR response emails.

Not a bad article at all, but I thought it was funny that...

I wish they still made flip phones! I hate touchpad keypads and worrying about scratching that damn screen all the time.

What's a "emphasizing my potential" phrase besides "I have potential, you gotta believe it!"?

I'm sure someone's already mentioned this, but I think the assumption that using data to determine points where you lose people is a "nerdy guy" thing is sexist in itself. If supermarkets can use what you buy to determine if you're pregnant, or use Harvard professor ranking data to show inherent bias against female…

That's an interesting theory. Another theory I read about way back in college purported that the reason fashion trends change is so that there will always be a class to look up to. The ones in power will always be dictating how the masses should be dressed in order to differentiate themselves from the masses. As soon…

Was in Cambridge here. They do it here too. I've been called on to translate "No, they're not being racist, you're just not allowed to go there. That's what the sign says."

I don't know. I'm Chinese-American and have lived for quite a while in China (speaking Chinese, but maybe not in the specific local regional accent) and I still get the "Where are you from?" question all the time there followed by a long debate about what area of China my features must come from (I have a Hunan face,…

I can only imagine a NASA kickstarter working if there was hot aliens, something on Mars explodes every now and then, and it was all broadcast back in HD.

Yeah! If there's anything the British love to do, it's lampoon nazis!

Well, apparently they don't think he can manage that responsibility.

AS RECENT AS FOUR YEARS AGO. Which means that a whole 25~30% of her entire career has passed since then.

The whole time I was reading this, I was thinking "Gee, I wonder if the BBC will do a modern day Robin Hood series now too."

That they will be partying in moderation tonight.

I gave up trying to keep track of what foods would kill me after living in China for three years. I'm sure my daily two-egg omelet habit here in England is nowhere near as harmful as just breathing air in Shanghai.

I've always found it interesting that while crime didn't decrease after London installed all those CCTV cameras around the city, incidents of police malfeasance did.
