Arabian Ouds, the high-end ones at least, are heavy on natural materials especially agarwood which is highly expensive - none of the Ouds sold in the West for instance contain the real deal despite the marketing claims otherwise or if they do, it is such a minute fraction that it is barely there. Also, Attars are oil…

Meh. Clive Christian Perfumes are grossly price inflated even for the standards of niche perfumery being overpriced as they are. They don't even smell that nice for the price they are charging and don't push boundaries of being interesting in any meaningful manner like many niche lines (Slumberhouse, Etat Libre…

I bought a pair of women's jeans recently from a sample sale (they fit great for skinny ones without crushing my errr... man parts and had a color style I've only seen were much more expensive men's jeans) but once I tried to put in a normal sized walled and iphone in the front pockets... ugh they barely fit and I…

So... he looks kinda like a puffier Matt Damon if you downed several shots and removed your glasses/contacts. Meh. Unless his hard-on for Jesus brings something kinky to the table, he isn't offering much as a "hunk."

No, men can sit like a normal person without their junk getting squished. If you needed that much breathing room, wear a goddamn kilt and free ball it.

Wait... rebranding forgotten or niche things as cool is a Democratic Party platform? That is a hipster thing and they liked the Democratic Party before it was cool and are now into a new small party, you know, one that you never heard of but it is totally amazing and no, they aren't aren't going to tell you about it…

Exactly. He was out of line but no one is getting comped a 4,000$ table for nothing. At that price, you got to be bringing something good to the table so to speak. It is a brutal reality but a club, especially a high-end one, isn't a charity. He's still a douche though.

Simple. Hamas is Palestinian. The land is Palestinian. A bunch of Europeans and Americans colonizing the land does not make it their land. Much of Gaza is comprised of refugees driven out of the '48 territories by the invaders.

Israel is a mistake that will end and be consigned to history books the same way we remember "French Algeria". Hamas or whatever iteration succeeds it in Gaza will work to end the colonization of Palestine. It is not your land. Get the fuck out or don't be surprised when the rightful owners do what is necessary to…

I agree, they should have made it so some of the extras were lightened in post-production or something. Part of the problem is that these scenes were filmed in Morocco and they aren't going to fly in a plane of lily-white extras for a scene. At least they have made it clear that very white people can be slaves - like…

This ad is also in Flushing, targeting most likely Korean and/or Korean-American customers. Is there any indication that this is not the ad copy used in South Korea also? English-language ads are everywhere. Still awkward in its word choice though.

I wished I saved more of the messages sent to me because my white friends refused to believe that people would send that shit until I showed a sliver of them. Some of them were so mind boggingly offensive and the scariest thing is the guys thought it was witty or charming.

I can see that point. I can't watch "Mad Men" because I feel the undercurrent of show is some sort of nostalgia even when the viewer understands what onscreen is archaic and bad. It has no resonance for me being from a family that is not American nor fitting the demographics of the characters portrayed so that…

Dear American right-wing, The 1950s sucked unless you were a straight white Protestant male of at least the upper-middle class. No one outside that demographic is wanting to go back to that time period. Let it go.

Sorry about that, I was speaking as a PoC that finds both mainstream feminism and mainstream queer movements to be white based ones and exclusionary so I typed quickly and mistakenly left off that one can be a feminist while also being a minority. To me the feminisms (and queer movements) arising from minority groups…

Jezebel is not the be all and end all of feminism. It receives quite a lot of flak from WoC and feminists alike. No site is perfect but Jezebel is often doing things correctly. It seems you have more of a problem with feminism than Jezebel has with feminism.

I found the previous version of Kinja - the one with multiple topics and greys well done. We could all see multiple topics and there wasn't just one topic that dominated the conversation - a conversation that is usually some MRA, racist, transphobic, homophobic, etc (on Gawker and Jezebel - the two I post on) getting…

Part of me wants to believe that but the first comment (posted on Saturday on the blog she cites is a link to the pornstar's blog with the exact same photos). I am surprised that Jezebel is publishing them with glee and even more so in an article where his wife talks about how she is upset with the objectification of…

They aren't his pics. The first comment in the blog directs you to a site that clearly shows that it is some other guy's junk. Needless to say, yeah it is awkward for jezebel to do that (but clickbait!). The nude photos are more a testament to America's fetishizing non-white races and the erasure that happens to PoC…

As a guy, there are certain things you can do to get a better response (I'm speaking as a gay who got hit with a lot of messages and from extensive talking with female friends who went through the same shit I did)
