Smart! And that's why I always look askance at those "discounted" prices in catalogs and sales circulars - I wonder if anyone actually charges the "list price" anywhere or it's just a ploy to make me think that I'm getting a good deal.

JC Penney got rid of the markups on their retail prices, and with them sales events and coupons, in favour of everyday low prices. Sales fell dramatically, and it's believed part of the reason was many shoppers feel better if they think they're getting a deal, even if they're not. Or if they feel they must get to the…

Okay, this is an issue I hold dear to me for stupid reasons, and I have to defend my selfies. So I'm just copypasting from a little thing I already had written. Apologies for the long post and its almost narcissistic vibe, but I mean what I say here.

I always referred to this as "perceived value". My first hand experience with it is a little convoluted... I was working as an art dealer for a small art gallery in the USA that also sold fine jewelry. At that time I also had a friend that spent half the year in China every year. One year, he stumbled across a small…

This is where critical thinking comes into play. If you think critically, you take the facts, reject the framing and evaluate the facts on their own merits.

Oh my god, you're so right. How dare these women try to accept themselves and see their bodies as beautiful! They should probably just stay inside where we don't have to look at them, since we've CLEARLY taken our acceptance of other human beings way too far!

We should probably go tell them. How else will they know that they are fat and disgust us?!!

For good or bad it is 'normal' for a lot of people, especially people buying lingerie from a company that specializes in plus sized (14+) clothes. So why shouldn't we see women who look like us in the products we're going to be buying? What's particularly normal about catalogs full of thin (not necessarily healthy)…

I am snorting pure, uncut internet!!!

Sooooo...a double blowie is two mouths, one cock? Cuz I always thought they were two cocks, one mouth. Which I've done. Don't judge me.

I think there's a huge difference in regretting the fact that one had to have an abortion and regretting the abortion (wishing they'd gone through with the pregnancy).

can I just say thank you for (attempting to) educate these knuckdraggers on the reality of being an asian woman in america? as a white woman, I appreciate your time and effort to explain and thank you for allowing me to learn of your experience.

Thanks for the support. But you see I actually hate all white men, and I only married one for status and to spite all Asian men. By telling people my own experiences I'm the real oppresser here, but I don't quite realize that so I need more people to tell me. I'm actually the worst ever :P

I'm saying as a Asian woman that it's actually a huge pain in the ass to date, and that unless you have been in our place, you have no idea what it's like. To say that Asian women are just looking for white man because white stereotype is infuriating and infantizing. We live in a white culture. Everything we're ever…

At first I got defensive because I dated a Korean-American woman in college, and I distinctly remember my sister asking me if I was "one of those guys."

Yes! How dare us Asians think a white dude might be interested in us as a person instead of a racial stereotype. The fact that vast majority of men we meet are white has nothing to do with anything, and we obviously just obsessed with the idea of a strong GI joe who will save us from our people. It's completely our…

White men who act this way get and deserve a bad rap. If you're saying that all white men who are dating Asian women shouldn't be assumed to be perpetuating this crap I agree. I don't know about women who feed into those stereotypes. I'm sure they're out there. But one of my Asian friends is always posting stuff about…
