Damn, we have somebody getting insulted when someone's insulting him for being insulting. /sarcasm

Oh man, I got it from the dishwashers too. I was a hostess and had to wear heels regularly for the first time in my life. At some point one night, I slipped on the stairs going down to the kitchen and tumbled down them. The first thing the first dishwasher who saw me did was to squat down and rub my leg from calf up…

So, except for the kiddy rides part, my cousins, my siblings and I used to do this every other summer (we'd switch between Disney, Six Flags Magic Mountain and Knott's).

That one person telling everybody to just go and die to "thin out the herd" is a dick (and ironically for this thread, the very thing the author was afraid Katie Couric's documentary would be about), but other than that jerk's idiot diatribes, some good points have been raised.

Fellow NYUer here: I had the (un)luck of meeting some NYU newly grads here in Shanghai recently, and one of them was like "yeah, I'm like, so poor now but at least I can still afford not to have to move to the boroughs."

And my eyes rolled so hard I actually fell off my chair.

I remember the Hong Kong people being the…

What I hated was the people who would expect $5 back from you almost immediately, but then always conveniently forgot when they owed you anything. It's like, if you do you not have an appreciation of other people's money, you really shouldn't act like a Scrooge. Big red flag.

I think it's probably relevant to consider where people from Duke (the college that student who had the resume-cleaning friend) tend to apply to go work. Granted, most of the kids I know there are Asian American, but they mostly ended up in either D.C. or New York (or, if Chicago, a financial institute there). Blue…

If any of the conversations I've had with office workers in blue chip companies are any indication, it IS a pretty bad idea, especially for the kinds of jobs you would be applying to from an elite university. I don't know if this person's friend should be the one getting the rage for the inequities in the class…

I'm a girl gamer and I'll be the first to say that having a lead you can identify with really helps your enjoyment of a game. I love the Assassin's Creed line too, but it has been a bit of a bummer that they haven't made a (main console) game with a female protagonist yet.

Maybe someone already mentioned this (I didn't read through all the comments), but I think the juxtaposition is that a lot of the world, including the world these wives and girlfriends inhabit, have moved on from letter writing and phone calls as the main form of long-distance social interaction. This means that wives…

Actually, there are people trolling and I hate them but the point that someone who plays Farmville for 30 minutes shouldn't maybe count into the 45% "gamers" figure makes sense to me, especially in the context of having three-dimensional female protagonists.

The issue is that, since its a new medium, gaming just…

My god, that's a lot of meanness in you.

Anecdotally, I used to work as a hostess in a Tribeca restaurant and all the women there were very into the ugly/not ugly dichotomy.

One of the girls there actually said something along the lines of how she only hangs out with pretty people because it makes her happier to not have to see ugly ones.

IT IS ALL IN YOUR HEAD! A not-famous nobody mom posts a picture she's proud of with an admittedly not well-thought out message (though nothing that holds a candle to half the shit on the fitness Pinterest page) and the "feminist" internet explodes in fury? FUCK. YOU. Seriously, fuck you all for treating this like it's…

I guess maybe it's a Western thing to look at that kind of behavior and think it's part and parcel of the teenage experience? I'd hope that if I were 15 and had actively fed poisons to my (traditionally-minded, but still pretty emotionally present and caring) mother, I'd act a little more torn up about it.

Was Brave really a step forward?

Gee, when I broke up with my last boyfriend, my mom used it as a chance to remind me that I really ought to let go of that whole "independent woman" schtick because she'd seen strong women before, and I didn't fit that bill anyhow, so I might as well stop trying and get some guy who could take care of me.

I live in China right now and every other white person's cat is named Chairman Meow. It's completely ruined it for me.

Are you kidding? 1800s French Revolutionary politics is probably one of the most fascinating Eurocentric shows I could think of (assuming they don't turn it into this JVJ character schmoozing his way through high society)! You've got so many great themes that tie into today - hideous inequality, tyrrany of the haute…

Oh good! I was rethinking having a Peter Pan-themed pool party to celebrate me leaving my 20s, but the article was against the article mentioned in the title so I am going to tra la la my way to Neverland next weekend with nary a fear of being judged by Jezebel writers!
