@rikki-tikki-tavi: Are you really legally obliged to use a particular bathroom?

@DollyHaze: I can't find a doctor at all willing to put me back on the pill. I'm 22 and was on the pill from ages 17 to 21. After I turned 21, every single doctor I saw refused to renew my prescription because of the increased stroke risk due to my migraines. I've lied about my medical history once at the campus…

@Vivelafat says Sweep the leg, Johnny.: Invisibility cloak!

@brokenscope: I wonder if you can buy smart phones without cameras in them. I know they exist— my dad's work phone (a blackberry, actually) is one because he works for the government and he isn't allowed to bring cameras into his building (strict security, I guess?).

@winditup: Do it! It's super pretty, as is the blue from that collection. And while I'm generally into greens, Shrek's skin is sadly not a pretty, deep emerald color.

@winditup: Mad as a Hatter and Absolutely Alice are the best things OPI has done in forever. I love them. They have a Shrek collection in the works for this summer, though, and I'm not so sure how I feel about that.

@Oleander: I so hear you about bureaucracies. I transferred to a huge public university as a senior, and it's taken me two years to finish because I eventually just gave up on trying to get credit for everything I'd already taken. Seriously, hell isn't other people— it's transfers to "another department" and endless…

All of the campus cafes here are Starbucks-owned. A big cup of coffee with a tiny splash of soy milk should not cost over $2 unless it's fair trade. I really wish there were more options, but I'm pretty sure Starbucks has taken over the world.

I still want the sort by most popular option back. Pretty please?

@tiredfairy: That's pretty neat. Has it been that way forever, or did it change from a different color as you got older? In any case, dying one's hair seems like a big pain, so I hope this "trend" translates into being chic for older women, too. Not that it matters, but I know my mom is always worried about it and she…

@Puddlefish: Hey, me too! I keep toying with the idea of getting Invisalign to fix it, but then I start to consider the cost and that I have rent and tuition to pay, and all of a sudden it becomes more endearing. I hope the trend of blindingly bright, perfectly straight doll teeth goes away soon, because it's boring…

@Her Grace: Nerdfighter!: Orly Enchanted Forest is probably the best reasonably priced one right now. I can't think of any dark green cremes readily available at drugstores, though.

@Rooo sez BISH PLZ: RBL ships FedEx, so I don't think they're restricted by USPS shipping rules. In any case, I agree about the bottles— they're pretty flimsy as far as polish bottles go. I'm always afraid I'm going to snap the neck of one by twisting the cap too hard. I'd totally cry if I spilled one all over my…

@k122n: If you insist on speaking in extremes with the only options being a) telling women their desire is "wrong" and b) making it less easy for rapists and abusers to harm women even when they can still harm women in other ways, I'll go with b. Since reality doesn't work that way, I'd prefer not to discuss only the…

@k122n: Uh, because people get raped? Like what happened in the very post you're commenting on?

@Pugnacioun: I agree with you. My mom and I were having this discussion just a few days ago, in fact; I'm a vegan, she eats meat, and she asked me if I considered eating meat to be inherently unethical. (She knows I'm very interested in discussing issues about factory farming, etc. so it wasn't at all an accusation or…

@Cairn: These things are kinda panic-worthy because it means that it's jumped another species barrier; if you recall, that's how we ended up in this mess in the first place (the combination of H1 and N1 of influenza is the result of bird-origin flu viruses [I think all flu is of bird origin] mixing in another…

I'm on a Macbook using Leopard (latest update) and the newest version of Firefox, and things load, but everything is really slow. When I switch to Safari, though, comments don't load at all. I have to refresh several times to see anything, and if there are multiple pages of comments, I've found that there's pretty…

@goodgirlrevolution: I'm a little bit ashamed at how much I like Dave Eggers because apparently he's so pretentiously hipster-y and overwrought that as a good hipsterly cynical literary type, I'm supposed to hate him. But I don't. I love, love, love McSweeney's, and I don't care if that makes me a pretentious ass or…

@embarcadero13: Since it doesn't seem to have been addressed yet, I will jump in here and say that you're wrong on a few points, and dishonestly representing your position. The patch that you're referring to, Ortho-Evra, has been linked to a higher stroke risk in certain women than other hormonal birth control pills…
