I can’t waiiiit till I have a steady job and can buzz my hair again. I wear more a mohawk, so just buzzed sides, but I decided a while ago to let it grow out (also, I am broke af) and it’s like all 1970s-man up in here. I need to get it cut no matter what else, but I’m sad I don’t think I can have my hawk back till…

Nothing new on my end, though I found a stack of cd’s my ex best friend burned for me in the late 90s/early 00s that I ripped to the computer and some of them have come up on shuffle. I actually don’t tend to like her preferred music so there’s nothing compelling me to listen to the albums all the way through, but I…

I’m banging my head on a responsive grid that isn’t letting me display a background color all the way across the page (I have a fix to get to full width, but then it takes over the rest of the page going down, and that doesn’t work so well, since this is section three of four) and listening to Betty Davis, so it’s…

No, but we sure do use that as a reason not to go further with figuring out how to keep people safe, which is absolutely shit of us as a society. I’m sorry that happened to you. I wish we did better at this.

Look, just fold a topographical map like a napkin and call it a day. :) I remember being really upset that because I was in an “advanced” program in middle school I couldn’t take Home Ec (which was still offered!). Instead I had to take choir or band, despite having the musical talent of a squid. It turns out I don’t…

No, I didn’t think you were disagreeing. It’s just such a huge hobbyhorse for me that the sharing economy operates on all these assumptions that taxis are shitty or hotels are inconvenient or whatever, and I really do think that while many of the people who are individually involved are good, there are horror stories…

It might be both - I’ve definitely seen that neckline work, but it takes very simple accessories. I would like to see this with a sweetheart though.

And I LIKE Ralph & Russo’s red carpet wear too! This is just ... WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK. (Also, don’t care that she just had a kid; as you said to someone else, she has worn actual dresses since, so no pass here.)

I thought you meant “something vaguely bathrobe-esque” but I looked at the pic and nooope, that is a fucking bathrobe that someone attacked with scissors when they realised it needed to look a bit less like a bathrobe. So now it looks like a bathrobe styled by an angry falcon, which is not a huge improvement.

I love the color combo, I just think that carrying a purse that also echoes the combo is not a great move. With fuchsia and coral, I’d like to see a counterpoint in the purse - maybe gold for a complementary color, or turquoise for a color that would slice the angle between coral and fuchsia, though I think it would…

Agree. She probably could have gotten away with around the neckline and waist with a row running vertically between if necessary (though that also might have looked heavy) but while the color combination is great (and one of my personal faves) the beadwork is just too damn heavy to be successful as deployed. It either…

That I did not know - thank you!

I remember reading an account on Patheos of someone who was raised in a dark-Christian family (Quiverfull, patriarchy, a few other ideas in play as well). It’s been a few years since I read it, so I can assure you that I’m wrong on the details, but I remember that at one point at least some of the siblings brought…

Yup, exactly. It could not possibly be hard to figure out an age-appropriate lesson or set of lessons for kids that they could take all the way through school. I’m a big fan of public schools, as terrible as their overall funding is and the various constraints on them are, but I would love to see the addition of this…

Well, since I said I’m not a statistician, and also that for the purpose of the comment I was assuming a similar reporting rate (ie, 10% of all assaults in both cabs and Uber which may well not be the case) I think you’re backing up my point that someone who is not me and has qualification in this area should break…

That actually does go without saying. My issue regarding Uber has always been that as a company, they are terrible because they try to disavow their own employees by calling them contractors, in the interest of just raking in the money without engaging in even the levels of oversight of other, similar entities such as…

No, no, you don’t realize that public education is completely and irretrievably fucked, so we couldn’t possibly consider adding, say, skills students will actually need to the curriculum.

Not a statistician and don’t have time to sort the data right now, but does anyone have a breakdown of the Uber complaints? I’m curious, because I guess I would assume that means (if we assume a constant reporting rate) that it’s safer to ride in a cab than an Uber? Or has any of the Uber data been broken down by…

You know, it makes a lot more sense if Cruz and Lee are actually Kang and Kodos.

AUGH.
