I think it'd be a way to really make my parents upset that he couldn't even work up the gall to go to them to talk about it, ask for a blessing etc. I believe they know it's my decision in the end, but they feel they are a big enough part of my life to have some say in it. I also come from a pretty traditional…

I generally dislike when somebody's cadence doesn't show any variation, and I'm not a older white male. You can dislike the way voices are going (while accepting that it's a natural social phenomena for voices to change) without it being anti-feminist.

24 is pretty young for children in my world! I'm not even planning on considering marriage until I'm 30. If you want to be a career woman, now's the time to focus on that and not worry too much about what nosy nellies think.

I'm not writing off Anna completely because being weekend editor is tough and kind of lonely. Once you get to article 10, words start to blur and you're almost going stream of conscious-style to get shit out. And you don't have the necessary feedback of other editors reading your stuff and catching mistakes for you.…

Marlon Brando taught me at age 13 that the appropriate equivalent for "guys" is "dolls" and I'm sticking to it.

You speak of criminals as if all of them are breaking laws just for the hell of it. Believe it or not, there's usually some reasoning behind what they do, and in any case, if that reasoning leads to them attacking you, I don't understand how your mental soundness, a wait period and lack of a semi-automatic would keep…

I'm going to copy and paste from another reply:

Also, show me the proof for the 99.999% statistic, because I don't believe it's true.

We also believe in driving licenses and in medical degrees for anesthesiologists. I guess that makes us hypocrites as well! Or maybe, in the case of equipment that could hold other people's lives in the balance, we don't mind debating where the line between personal freedom and responsibility to the rest of society…

Generally, the criminals who get their guns are not the people we have to worry about in mass shootings like the one that just happened. And if they're caught with illegal weapons by the police, they would have to pay all the fines and serve the jail time as just stated above. So what's your point? Are you in…

You know, I see this argument touted out a lot and it always seems like a cop out to me. How exactly would mental health checks have found most of the killers? For the most part, they didn't have criminal records of any kind. For the most part, they weren't doing terribly in school. Many of them even had people who…

Fair enough - Ivy's are supposed to be hard to get into and it is a strange comment for OP to make. I will argue that legacy entries are much more rare than you would think as well though, more important is a school counselor who happens to know exactly what they're looking for that year.

If anyone hasn't heard the Professor Blastoff episode on voices this week, it talks a lot about affectations and finding your true pitch.

Most of my Columbia friends were middle-class white nobodies.

Wow, their selection of news anchors on the Facebook header really kind of looks like they are trying to be The Aryan Channel for Aryans By Aryans.

Interestingly enough, this story says that she was actually fired for responding to an actually racist comment accusing the station of specifically picking needy children "of color" to give presents to. The hair thing was allegedly even LIKED by the station itself.

Wait, I get the pairing of the Whole Foods and the Prius, but where does the Teletubbies come into play? I thought all Whole Foods Prius-driving folks watched Spongebob or those four Commonwealth men who sing.

You don't think they taught 13-year-old you a lesson about friendship and GEHL POWAH?

Yeah, seriously. It'd be like using the descriptor "dressed in black" at an UWS lounge.

Just chiming in to say their advertising team knows exactly what they're doing. I met the head of advertising for the mens deodorant division and these commercials basically tripled their sales and turned Unilever into the market leader for men's deodorant - it's hilarious to men (even men who already sleep with…
