this is a great, level-headed response. thank you.

So I realize this article is not new but here's my related problem: My father in law has, over the last couple of years, slowly become like…really racist for some reason. Not necessarily in like an accusatory manner, but always making racist jokes and generalizations that he thinks are funny. Basically he's about one…

fun fact: you can take comprehensive Icelandic lessons for free through University of Iceland online at http://icelandiconline.is/index.php. I find the language really easy to learn and just a few lessons helped me a ton when I was in Reykjavik. Also, the lessons themselves are cheeky and fun…do it! Bless!

A FUCKING MEN

WHYYY

absolutely, I'm not suggesting otherwise. religion is usually closely tied to religious peoples values, and if they need help navigating their way out of their faith then they deserve compassion and understanding as they try to untangle those knots. "Yeah you sure believed a load of crap lol" isn't a conversation…

Great point. I think a lot of people fail to see the complex ways in which religion affects peoples lives and just default to the "religion is stupid" end. You can't help somebody simply by telling them they're stupid.

everyone here commenting that "rappers these days should pay attention rabble rabble"needs to seriously stop. If you think the best examples of a musical genre lie in its popular output, you probably don't know much about music to begin with, let alone which genre is all about nothing these days.

i find the holidays incredibly stressful, much more so than they are relaxing or fun. Just the stress of trying to visit everyone in such a short period (and now with a baby) is enough for me. So like you said, I celebrate Chinese new year now with just my husband and my son. There's a parade, lion dancers (so…

"'Won't Her Period Attract Bears?' The Answer May Surprise You"

nothing to say other than HOLY CRAP you're one tough cookie.

It's an awful thing when post partum is somehow worse than what you previously thought was as bad as it could be. "Demoralizing" has been on my lips more in the last 5 months than ever in my life, and a soaked bra and shirt is usually the fastest way there. Hold on, mama, and reach out when you can't hold on any…

GOOD LORD

Mustaine is most likely that jackass…in 2005 he refused to play on the same bill as Rotting Christ for obvious reasons (because he is a jackass).

Tom Araya was raised Catholic, fell out of it for a long time (during which Slayer was born), and came back to Catholicism in his 30s I believe. He has acknowledged publicly, several times, that he doesn't feel his personal faith is at odds with Slayer's music. FWIW, the majority of Slayer lyrics were written by the…

This made me literally lol

haha yes I have been here…fucking terrible

amen to all of this, holy shit all of those foods are DISGUSTING and a sad distraction from the rest of thanksgiving foods which are unspeakably delicious and the stuff of which dreams are made.

your husband sounds like a dick, and i don't mean that as a slight against you. FWIW, I don't work out and have never set foot in a gym, my pregnancy was as textbook as they come, my son was born one day before his due date and is so healthy, happy, and chubby, that everyone in the doctor's office laughs when we come…

"just for now", "makes sense"…this is the reality. Never have sex.
