Last few years? Try 20 at the very least.

she's not new. I am a huge fan of her music, and you can't be more old, white and out of touch than me.

She's not a new artist. She's been around for well over a decade. You said that it must be a slow news day because Jez wrote a story featuring someone you'd never heard of. This is a celebrity news site (among other things) it doesn't make it a slow news day if they feature something kind of funny/kind of weird that…

Erykah Badu is a pretty huge cultural icon in the black community. Just because you don't know who she is doesn't mean she's a nobody.

Meh. For The Golden Girls, this was a light snack.

I would eat it too. In the middle of the night. While crying.

You'd have to fight me for it.

That officer should be fired, or at least severely disciplined. A big part of your job as a police officer is to de-escalate situations. You shouldn't escalate the smallest of situations into a full blown confrontation. If a police officer is slamming someone to the ground as a result of a jaywalking stop, the…

So the police force is a breeding ground for people who enjoy violating the civil rights of others, degrading, humiliating them and exercizing violence and abusing others while in a position of power?

When a campus cop tells a woman hes going to slam her on the car if she doesnt obey him, and the college thinks thats perfectly ok, there is seriously something very wrong with that college.

I know you know how much I also hate Guy Fieri, but I would eat that abomination and I would eat it all in one sitting, so help me God.

well, I mean, she was walking while black, so...what did she expect was gonna happen?

When my friends complain about life I make sure to mention my perfect spouse, perfect children, perfect job, all the money I'm making, and all the really great sex I'm having. Then I post pictures of the amazing gourmet meal I just whipped up between periods of being perfect.

joke's on Facebook. I only post about the movies I watch on Lifetime. All positive.

This was my exact thought. It's impossible to know if the statuses were a subconscious attempt to conform to social cues, or an actual reflection of a mood shift.

A big part of my job is to create content and manage the social media outlets of the organization I am employed by. Facebook is the biggest part of that, including my own personal profile, which is linked to many of our most important stakeholders.

I seem to be the odd one out here, but I honestly don't care that Facebook 'did' this to users. A few more often positive words, a few more often negative words, and now I'm supposed to flip my shit over an admittedly interesting experiment? So what? How is my life today at all affected for it? I don't think I would…

I fixed that by blocking most of my family members. And I pissed off some family members and they unfriended me. It's been an especially nice newsfeed since then.

this response was much more entertaining than the Brazil - chile match, thanks!

oh yeah, most of the skins float away in the jar, andI just easily remove the skins of the remaining. This is a surprisingly long thread on almonds, but reminded me how much I like them :)
