Philosophically speaking, in a more perfect world, I’d disagree with the article. People do get upset when white people generalize about black people, and biting commentary about white people rarely contains any sort of “not all” disclaimer, direct or even implied. And I’ve seen a fair bit of commentary here insisting…

The Spanishest way to eat potato chips isn’t coated in flavored powder, it’s to put plain (preferably freshly made) chips on a plate surrounded with your jamon or caviar or whatever, squeeze a lemon over the plate, and enjoy as a tapa with a drink.

I thought it was unacceptable to use the word “murder” to talk about killing animals? At least, that’s why I’ve abandoned the phrase “meat is murder,” as much as I agree with it.

I’m not a member of PETA and I don’t keep up on their current campaigns or the allegations against them. I will say that back in the early 2000s they were instrumental in helping me go vegan and letting me maintain my convictions despite being regularly taunted and told by adults that I was making an idiotic mistake.…

Kind of have to agree with the rule against bringing dates who’ve been out of school for more than a year. Those dudes were always total creepsters, seems like a genuine liability concern for school administrators. Policing wardrobes and not allowing dancing is mean, though.

Before I got to the punchline I was assuming you were using “thirsty” to mean “desperate,” and saying “no thanks, I’m not desperate enough to accept coke from you.”

In college one of my courses was pretty much exactly the same as a course I took in high school, so I skipped every lecture that semester and used my high school notes to study for the final. I got a better grade than the rest of my friends in the class, and also did better in that course than any other course I took…

I hope she wears something she likes, and enjoys the day. And I hope she picks the best tiara, just to piss off the racists. Otherwise I could not possibly care any less.

To be honest, I was more excited about having a First Gentleman than I was about having a woman president. Oh well.

Absolutely. There’s a profile of her in the New York Times today as well. Clearly someone is hard at work behind the scenes trying to convince us all not to despise her.

Yes, I WTFed at this too. Though I’ve never visited Slovenia, so who knows.

Can I just ask what the deal is with artists having musical alter egos? I assumed that was a uniquely Prince thing but now we have it with Janelle Monae and Glover and probably some people I’m forgetting about/haven’t heard of because I’m out of touch. What’s the deal? Are these artists going to maintain these…

OMG I had no idea that was Eddie Murphy singing! I don’t think I was alive yet when this came out.

So she’s saying she would have let a group of people rob her neighbor if they’d waved to her?

Someone called the cops on Bob Dylan for “suspicious behavior” when he was wandering around a residential neighborhood somewhere. The cop who responded to the call didn’t know who Bob Dylan was, so it took a while for the situation to be resolved. Pretty funny in that case, at least.

I actually thought they’d be more likely to get my order right if I submitted it online. And for the most part, that has proven to be the case. When I go in person they see a white girl in leggings and immediately start making a chicken burrito bowl light on the brown rice, which is not what I want, and end up…

I was responding to this post. I don’t personally follow everything you write. The point you made (in this post, at least) was misogynist, so I addressed that. If leaving fathers out had been an honest, non-misogynist mistake, you wouldn’t be insisting on having this idiotic tit for tat.

Too bad for your sister it wasn’t a girl.

Going on the general topic of this discussion, before I read the description of the “sip and see” I thought it was going to be a postpartum “gender reveal party” and I’m very relieved that’s not the case.
