These (diaphragms, even newfangled ones all work the same) are not that great ladies! I had breast cancer and can’t have hormonal birth control. After having 3 IUDs slip, my doctor decided this was my only option, other than condoms... It’s seriously gross. You have to jam it up there and then LEAVE IT THERE for 4…

<—- Apparently I'm an idiot, because I've never had a tamale (despite growing up in an area with a HUGE Mexican population) and I don't know if I would have or would not have eaten the husk...

That’s not actually usually true... They usually meet someone and they become friends and then the person, as they get closer to the kids, start to introduce ideas and they slowly groom them. The parents are normally not fundamentalist at all.

Actually, you don’t know that... I grew up in Washington state and I made full minimum wage an hour (which was $8.25, I think) PLUS my tips. Not everyone works for pennies and their tips make up the difference.

I actually purchased one (I did have a 20% off coupon during one of the two times a year that they have them!) and this hairdryer is LIFECHANGING!!! I wish they had it in a travel size, so I’d have one for my gym bag, because I WOULD BUY THAT SHIT! This is the best, hands down, hair dryer EVER!!!

I feel you... I used to live on the 12th floor of a high-rise and I came home one day and the power was out... That sucked. I’m so happy it only happened once in 2 years of me living there... : )

I love Emily Wax-Thibodeaux... I knew her years ago and she’s a badass.

Seriously... Like naming a drink “venti,” because venti means “twenty” and the drink is twenty ounces? Must be so difficult to understand... I mean, it isn’t like they named the sizes “gorilla,” “tiger” and “orangutan.”

<—- From Seattle and former Starbucks barista. We were REQUIRED to repeat your drink back to you using the proper terms and ordering your drink in the proper order... i.e. If you ordered, saying, "I want a mocha, non-fat, grande, and with whip cream" we were required to repeat back that you wanted a "grande non-fat…

How about you just not go to Starbucks if you have such an issue with it? Jeez... As a former barista, trust me, we are all saying “fuck you” through our smiles when you order your “small/medium/large,” because we all know you are just doing it to be a difficult fuckwit.

Preach sista! You speak the golden words of truth! I can vouch for every word of what you wrote! Same experience here!

I served and was raped by a non-service member during my service and was not retaliated against because of it. The ONLY reason I reported it was because I was drugged and, god forbid, there was a urinalysis the next day, I didn’t want to get nailed for drugs or something that may have been in my system. That said, I…

As someone who grew up in the birthplace of Starbucks... I’d say that 90% of NYC baristas are not cut out for the job... A whole other level of rudeness here. I get that NYC is not Seattle, but I think Howard Schultz would be embarrassed by the attitude of baristas in NYC.

Exactly... I’m out now, but when I was in, my TAKEHOME, AFTER TAXES, pay was $6000 a month. I still wish I hadn’t got out... Yeah, an E-2 or E-3 straight out of bootcamp may not look like they make much, but when you take into account that they do not have to pay for food, lodging or medical, even their pay isn’t that…

Yes... And he was found guilty of that and sentenced to time served. I saw this at the Tribeca Film Festival and I’m STILL torn on how I feel about this. But, there are tidbits in the doc that give you a bit more to think about on the “maybe he wasn’t really going to do it” side... That said... I was impressed that…

There IS a men’s logo... It has the octagon shape around it to “masculine” it up...

I grew up as a figure skater. I would often to go the grocery store, etc after practice with my tights and skating dress on. One day, I went out and checked the mailbox in front of my grandparent’s house before heading to practice. My grandmother noticed that a guy was, literally, hanging out of his truck, gawking at…

$400 is not an exorbitant amount.

Featherweight means “cheapest fabric possible, while fooling people to think there is any semblance of quality.”
